Your bowl contains the blessings of your life

Your bowl contains the blessings of your life, and the smoke from the kitchen is curling up. The human world has been related to eating since ancient times. Eating is actually connected with heaven and earth. A clean bowl means cherishing, which means respecting food and reaping blessings from a drink and a meal every day. Because of this, your bowl contains the blessings of your life. Your bowl contains the blessings of your life. 1

No matter how hurried you are, it is still an indispensable sense of ceremony to taste delicious food in the smoky fire. A meal, a bowl of chopsticks, eating in a sense is attached to heaven and earth. And food is always the most direct channel for all living beings to communicate with the gods of heaven and earth. Only when you are awed by life and grateful for food can you walk through this life calmly and gracefully with a calm mind, which is also the meaning of "a clean bowl of happiness".

Wang Han, a famous host, once revealed that in order to help children develop good eating habits, he hung a plaque with "A bowl is clean and blessed" in the restaurant as a family instruction.

It is said that when Zhu Ting, a member of the China women's volleyball team, was playing in Turkey, the reporter went to her home in Istanbul for an interview and found a pair of "bowls of pure happiness" hanging in the living room.

A Happy Bowl is a new work published this year by Mr. Cai Lan, one of the "Four Great Talents" in Hong Kong. The author conveys a simple concept of life to readers: Only by being awed by life and grateful for food can we finish this life calmly and gracefully with a calm mind. This is also the meaning of the title of the book "The bowl is pure and blessed".

"clean bowl" represents respect for food and recognition of the hard work of working people. Unfortunately, many children now lack the education to cherish food and hard-won life.

In fact, if you have enough respect for food and a correct understanding of life attitude, then "bliss" is a natural thing.

from avenue to simplicity, knowledge and practice are integrated. The deepest philosophy is often contained in the dribs and drabs of life, just as the blessings of a person's life are hidden inadvertently in a daily meal.

People who lack reverence for food will eventually be punished.

There is a saying in Zhu Zi's Family Instructions: "It is not easy to think when you have a porridge and a meal; Half a silk and half a wisp, it is difficult to keep thinking about material resources. " This is not only to advocate thrift, but also to educate the world to learn to be grateful.

during the northern song dynasty, there was a rich boy outside bianjing city, who lived in luxury by virtue of his rich family. He eats dumplings with various fillings every meal, but only eats the stuffing inside and spits out the skin at a time. More than ten years later, the nomads from the army invaded and ransacked Bianjing City. The careless teenager has become a middle-aged man. At this time, his family property has been exhausted, and he fled all the way with the crowd. However, the journey was hard. After eating the dry food, he finally fell to the ground hungry. Just as he was dying, an old monk carried him back to the temple and cooked him a pot of batter, which was saved.

He stood up and thanked him, but the old monk shook his head and said, "Don't thank me. What you just ate originally came from your home, and now it's just returned to its original owner." The old monk pointed to a pile of pockets at the back of the house and said that when he was a teenager, the wind of extravagance was well known to all. The old monk stood by the river in front of his house every morning, carefully collected the dumpling wrappers dumped by the kitchen, washed them with clear water and dried them, which had already filled the whole room over time. Now, when he was in troubled times, the old monk used it to help many people. After listening to it, he was immediately ashamed.

Your attitude towards food is the attitude of others towards you

In "A Happy Bowl", Mr. Cai recalled his father's breakfast, talked about the fun of going to the morning market to buy food, and talked about the picnic in Hibiya Park, which was full of fireworks, but such a life is a real and meaningful life. "People who love life must get up early. Like birds, they are rewarded with a delicious and rich breakfast."

I remember that three years ago, I was seriously ill, and I was lying in the hospital for a month. My hands were weak and I couldn't hold the dishes and chopsticks, so I had to rely on my family and nurses to feed me. Later, I suffered from facial paralysis and dysphagia.

at that time, eating well was an extravagant hope for me. Sometimes I think, if I can't recover, is this life still meaningful? After such an experience, reading Mr. Cai's article again is really a feeling of meeting a bosom friend.

after eating and drinking, there is basically nothing to regret in life.

"It's not difficult to live a happy life, and be content with happiness."

This is the life experience summarized by Mr. Cai, and he also practiced it.

no matter how hurried you are, tasting delicious food in the smoky fire is still an indispensable sense of ceremony in life. Unfortunately, with the accelerated pace of life, what modern people lack is not only the due respect for food, but also the patience to cook food.

Nowadays, more and more young people choose take-out as their food source, and they are used to placing orders in their mobile phones, and they can never get back to the stove full of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar ...

From a psychological point of view, men and women help each other in a small kitchen and carefully prepare for a delicious meal. The interest and charm accumulated in the collision of pots and pans is the secret of love's eternal youth. This is the so-called eat drink man woman.

Maybe it's over half a century before we finally understand that love doesn't need jewels. What it longs for is to grow old slowly in the worldly stability of daily necessities.

a meal, a bowl of chopsticks, eating in a sense is to become attached to heaven and earth.

because of this, your bowl also contains the blessings of your life. Your bowl contains the blessings of your life. 2

A person's blessings. From the dinner table

In the Book of Changes, it is said, "A gentleman should eat in moderation."

it was from the beginning of diet that Zeng Guofan carried out the idea of self-cultivation from beginning to end, and was praised as "half a saint" by later generations.

Zeng Guofan's daily diet is also very simple. When there are no guests, he will have a meat dish. Only when he wants to entertain guests will he set up an extra meat dish.

Not only did he do this himself, but he also warned his children and grandchildren:

"What a man wears in a day is commensurate with what he does in a day, so others will do it, and ghosts and gods will allow it, thinking that he is self-reliant."

The Tseng family men, all of whom can cultivate land and grow vegetables, and the Tseng family women, all of whom can cook and weave.

Zeng Guofan's clothes are also very simple. Most of his clothes, shoes and socks are made by his wife. At the age of 3, he made an exception and made an azure satin jacket. He wore it for 3 years.

In terms of transportation, Zeng Guofan habitually spread straw mats on the bed, covered with homespun and lived in an old house.

Even at the door of the house, there are no plaques such as "Xiang Fu" and "Hou Fu".

When asked why, Zeng Guofan said:

"All officials must be clear, and if their names are clear but not real, they will be especially angry with creation."

It is said that they are not rich for three generations, but because of Zeng Guofan's words and deeds, the descendants of the six generations of the Zeng family have flourished for a hundred years, and they have also been given the good name of "none of the Zeng family is a waste" by later generations.

a person's good fortune often begins at the dinner table.

Sima Guang said:

"Luxury leads to more desires. If a gentleman desires more, he will read Mu Fugui, and he will waste his time in disaster. "

once a person and a family start to waste food and spend lavishly, it is not far from disaster.

Because people's desires are infinite, although it's just an extravagant meal, once the mouth of luxury is opened, greed will devour people a little bit.

a porridge and a meal, when thinking is not easy; Half a silk and half a wisp, it is difficult to keep thinking about material resources.

"Zhu Xi's Family Instructions" says: "The diet is refined, and the garden vegetables are more precious."

when one's heart is full, even simple garden vegetables can surpass delicacies.

Cherish to accumulate blessings, and save to support morality

The grandmother of writer Lin Qingxuan lived frugally all her life.

Usually, she never has a mouthful of rice left, even the soup in the dish will be drunk, and even if the rice drops to the ground, she will pick it up and eat it again.

The reason for doing this is not because of the poor economic conditions at home, but because the elderly think that cherishing can accumulate happiness; Thrift can foster morality.

The old people not only cherish their own food, but also ask the younger generation to do it: "There is not a grain of rice left in the bowl, so don't eat in a hurry."

In Lin Qingxuan's memory, the old man lived for more than 8 years and kept healthy all the time.

whenever someone asks why, she always says,

"Maybe it's because you cherish your blessings that you can live a long life."

As the old saying goes,

"Blessing is always there, and it comes with fate."

if you don't spend too much money, you can always be around those who know how to cherish the good fortune.

in this era, profligacy is no longer a glory, and moderation is a virtue.

It is said that there was a rich man named Zhang Yifang in the Ming Dynasty.

Because my family has fertile land, I live a luxurious life.

The tenants work hard every day and pay him rent every year.

year after year, the grain collected is piling up. Their family can't finish it for a while, so they put it in the granary.

He was advised that these surplus grains can be used to help the poor, which is also a blessing for himself.

but he refused again and again, and he had bad blood with his friends.

after a long time, stored grain will become moldy.

Zhang Yifang was in no hurry, so he dumped all the moldy grain. Seeing that there was still something to eat, he fed it to pigs and cows.

I don't know that "it's leftovers that fall, but sweat and blood that flow away".

some people say that he is guilty, but he doesn't care.

it's just a waste of time, and it will eventually be condemned by heaven.

In the sixth year of Zhengde, the Yellow River burst its banks, and all the fertile fields and wealth in Zhang Yifang were spared and destroyed.

Because of Zhang Yifang's human nature, and no one gave him a helping hand, the family was starved to death in the famine.

As the saying goes,

"People will die if their wealth is exhausted. Cherish clothes and clothes, and cherish food and food. "

In this world, there is a destiny for happiness, wealth and longevity.

Master Da 'an once said:

"Waste of food and clothing is extremely harmful to good fortune."

every grain is hard-won, and even billionaires are not qualified to waste it.

man, save a bite when you are full, and you can only get a fight when you are hungry.

In our bowl, there is the blessing of a lifetime.

As the proverb goes:

"A grain of rice is exchanged for a thousand drops of sweat."

food is the most direct channel for all living beings to communicate with the gods of heaven and earth.

a meal, a chopstick and a bowl will hide the blessings of your life.

Even if life is rich, don't waste it at will, or even the best blessing will disappear.

The phenomenon of food waste is shocking and distressing! Click "watching", start from me and resolutely stop wasting!
