My system is not decent

Chapter 1520 Small things, big truths

The times are progressing, the economy has kept up, and more and more people pay attention to personal taste and life interest.

Tea pets have developed rapidly, and many people follow suit instead of understanding the cultural connotations.

But as far as the author said, he didn't come here to follow the trend, but to love and truly meditate.

Keeping a tea pet is like giving birth to a life. It is the taste of tea lovers and a portrayal of the life of tea lovers.

Every time tea is used to keep pets, it is a choice to let go of the vulgar and meditate, and if you have half a day to spare, it is interesting to accompany the cute little tea pets.

Since there are people playing it, and it is spreading more and more widely, then there must be a huge market for this kind of thing.

The so-called tea pet is also the pet of tea people.

As the name suggests, it is a pet nourished by tea, or something to play with while drinking tea.

Tea pets can be seen in many tea art decorations or on tea tables.

It adds elegance and interest to the atmosphere of tea tasting, and entrusts people's good wishes.

Moreover, tea pets can also reflect the cultivation and connotation, taste and character of tea players.

For example, the boutiques in front of me are all purple sand tea pets.

They may have auspicious connotations, or cultural atmosphere, or funny and amusing, or interesting childlike innocence, or luck, it all depends on the owner's preference.

Tea pets can be roughly divided into several categories according to their shape.

The largest group is the Feng Shui meaning mentioned earlier.

For example, Pixiu, dragon tortoise and other nine sons of the dragon, golden toad, auspicious lion, newt lizard, birthday star, unicorn, galloping horse, small animals, people, etc.

Each has a different meaning, which has the effect of resolving the five yellows and three evil spirits, guarding houses to ward off evil spirits, increasing popularity and avoiding villains, attracting noble people, attracting partial wealth, longevity, attracting wealth and treasure, and good luck.

Among them, the most classic one is the Golden Toad. Everyone knows that this is the beast of prosperity.

Wherever Jin Chan goes, money gathers.

The golden toad tea pet in front of Chen Wenzhe looked rather miraculous.

This golden toad is carrying money strings, which means that money comes into the house in strings.

The copper coin on Jin Chan's mouth can be rotated, you transfer the money with your hands, the homonym is "to make money".

The domineering and consecrated golden toad represents evil spirits, good luck and happiness.

The color-changing golden toad tea pet, after being poured with hot tea, will appear golden, green, and red in three colors, all of which are signs of good luck.

Wangcai's favorite tea, besides Jin Chan, should be Pixiu.

Due to the special traditional culture of our country, several kinds of tea pets are the most common.

Like Pixiu, the ninth son of the legendary dragon.

Commonly known as only in and out, so people think it has the function of making money and making money.

At the same time, it also has the function of a town house and becomes the patron saint of the home.

So, it became people's favorite.

According to legend, Pixiu is a ferocious auspicious beast, the male is "Pixiu" and the female is "Piu".

The male beast represents wealth, and the female beast represents the treasury.

But it has been passed down to this day, and people have no distinction between male and female.

In ancient times, Pixiu was divided into one or two corners, one corner was "Tianlu", and the two corners were "exorcism". Later, one corner was mostly shaped.

In the south, people like to call it "Pixiu", while in the north it is called "exorcism".

Pixiu's popular shape is a horn on the head, a long mane rolled up all over the body, some have wings, and tendrils of tail hair.

It represents the meaning of attracting wealth, hiding treasures, and guarding the town house.

These are Wangcai tea pets, and there are other animal tea pets that represent hard work, such as the loyal and honest representative, cow!

The cow in our country symbolizes good qualities such as hard work, hard work, hard work, patience, strength and strength.

Therefore, there are many people who like cattle, like Chen Wenzhe.

If he didn't like it, Li Jinli and the others wouldn't have made rubbings of the Five Bulls Picture, and carved so many famous historical cows on purpose.

No matter what, most of the tea pets are auspicious products.

In addition to animals, there are some special plants, such as gourds.

"Gourd" is homophonic to "Fulu", and gourd is often used to represent Fulu among the people.

The luxuriant, multi-fruited vines and the multi-seeded gourd represent "thousands of generations, prosperity and auspiciousness";
Gourd can cross water and be used as medicine. It is also one of the eight dark immortals, implying health, longevity and peace.

Because many peoples believe that gourds are the ancestors of human beings, and in many myths and stories, gourds are often accompanied by gods and heroes.

Therefore, the gourd is considered to be an auspicious tool that can bring blessings, exorcise evil spirits and protect the home.

In addition to these, there are characters.

The most numerous characters are all kinds of gods and Buddhas, and one of the most numerous series is the Buddha.

All Chen Wenzhe can see now are Buddhas of various colors.

It can be said that there are all kinds of sand, and most of them are Maitreya Buddha.

But just one Maitreya Buddha has many types, such as lying postures and sitting postures, but rarely standing postures, and there are also strange shapes.

Most of these Maitreya Buddhas express good luck and prolong life.

There is also a little bit of tea Zen here, which is to integrate meditation into the tea ceremony to form the concept of "tea Zen and one taste".

Developed in this way, it has developed into a unique "tea ceremony" cultural and living habit with Chinese characteristics.

Among the shapes of Zen-like tea pets, the images of Buddha, Bodhidharma, and little monks are mostly.

There are lying, sitting, and standing positions.

In the blend of tea and Zen, taste the infinity of the unity of things and me.

Of course, this arrangement cannot be random.

Among the statues, it is recommended to choose the smaller Maitreya Buddha as a tea pet, and the face of Maitreya Buddha should be facing away from us and facing the guests.

Since there are myths and legends, fables are naturally indispensable.

For example, the three monks, this one is too famous.

Three monks is a Chinese folk proverb.

Through the three monks without water to eat, the temple caught fire, the three monks worked together to put out the fire, and finally the three monks cooperated to carry the water, giving people the same state of mind and the same ideological realm.

If you don't want to contribute and want to rely on others, you will not be able to achieve your goals.

Then there is Sanbuhou, relatively few people know about this.

This tea pet consists of three monkeys, one covering his eyes, one covering his mouth, and one plugging his ears.

In "The Analects of Confucius": Yan Yuan asked "benevolence".

The Master said: "Self-restraining and returning to the rites is benevolence. One day self-restraining and returning to the rites, the world will return to benevolence. Is benevolence dependent on oneself, and benevolence?"

Yan Yuan said, "May I ask its purpose?"

The Master said: "Do not see anything that is not in accordance with the propriety, do not listen to anything that is not in accordance with the propriety, and do not speak anything that is not in accordance with the propriety."

Yan Yuan said: "Although Hui is not sensitive, please speak with me!"

This is the "Three No Monkeys" with the meaning of Eastern philosophy, which means "If you don't listen, you shouldn't listen; If you don't see, you shouldn't look; If you don't speak, you shouldn't speak."

Of course, such tea pets must be liked by some people with real cultural background.

As for some arty ones, they still like Fengshui and prosperous tea pets.

However, in any industry, young people win the world.
