And the Cowherd secretly hid the Weaver Girl's clothes at that time, which constituted the crime of theft. Theft of ordinary items may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of less than 3 years; theft of something with a particularly large amount may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of 10 years or even life imprisonment. The Weaver Girl's clothes are fairies' clothes, priceless treasures. If the Weaver Girl sues the Cowherd in court, the Cowherd will definitely be sent to jail.
What's more, even in ancient times, there was a bottom line of being a human being: "Do not look at what is wrong, don't listen to what is wrong, don't speak what is wrong, don't move what is wrong". Why can such a cowherd who is uneducated, wealthy, and not good-looking but not stick to the bottom line become the lover of the Weaver Girl? Did he save the entire Milky Way in his previous life? Why do such legends appear in the textbooks? After thinking deeply, we can find the reasons from the following three aspects.
First of all, the beautiful legend was fabricated by a poor scholar.
Many stories in folk legends are almost unlikely to appear in real life, and these stories are seen with relish. To put it bluntly, it comes from people's sympathy for the weak: Cowherd is kind-hearted and does not compete for family property with his brother. Although he is poor, his childhood experience makes people deeply sympathetic.
plus this story almost comes from the hands of those poor scholars, a poor man who is "nothing", who can elope with the rich and beautiful Weaver Girl in the end, and even have two children. For the scholar who is so poor that he speaks so hard that his teeth are almost sore, is there anything more inspirational than this? With the fabrication of the poor scholar and the resonance of most readers, it is difficult to not become popular in such folk legends.
Secondly, the story in the article reflects the concept of overcoming all difficulties.
Love is a sacred thing. This kind of thing is not afraid of the gap between the rich and the poor, the difference in levels, the difference in appearance, the difficulty in language, and the difference in age... Bai Suzhen After a year of more than a thousand years, he went down the mountain to fall in love, and found a Xu Xian who is more than a thousand years younger than himself. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl feel that it is enough to meet the right person. "I am happy".
As for how the worldly perspectives view this love between immortals and mortals, this is not important to the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, because the purity and firmness of this relationship exceed the gap between immortals and mortals. This story reflects the idea that love is stronger than gold and overcomes all difficulties. To pursue what you think is right, you must have the determination and perseverance to "hold on the green mountains and not relax". Even if you do not interfere with it, you will not be able to break up the strong friendship between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. This is the glory of human nature, and its intention is essentially different from those particularly realistic concepts of marriage and love, which are "having a house, a car, and a deposit".
Third, money, appearance and diploma are not attachments to love.
If we must have a wealth of wealth, superb appearance and ceiling level education in order to fall in love, how much more can our population be left? I saw a joke before, in which a man with a rough appearance said that if he had no deposit of 1 million yuan before he was 30 years old, it would be equivalent to the 30 years before his life. To be honest, if this guy was a little chick jumping in front of me, I couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't strangle him to death. What is the specific situation in reality? It is enough to not have a debt of 1 million yuan when you are 30 years old, because if you buy a house at the age of 30, you owe more than 1 million yuan to the bank! Being a "million-lost man" is considered a normal phenomenon.
At the same time, at present, how many people earn tens of thousands of dollars a month? If you look at those people on the Internet who show off their income every day, you may have the illusion that the average monthly salary of tens of thousands online is tens of thousands of yuan. However, in real life, being able to have a monthly salary of four or five thousand yuan is already considered a good income. As for monthly salary of three or four thousand yuan, it can be considered a relatively normal income. As for the so-called love, when two people meet each other, they have a clear understanding of each other. Even college students who earn 0 yuan a month will create sparks of love.
What's more, "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" is just a folk legend. The plot of the whole legend is normal as a whole. When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when the text is clear, all of them will be deleted. There will be fewer and fewer things in Chinese textbooks that belong to our traditional culture. Do you think?
