After learning "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", my class's little bookworm - Wenwen and quiet Wang Annie came over and asked, "Teacher, the Cowherd peeked at the fairies taking a bath and secretly took away the Weaver Girl's clothes. Isn't this illegal? The Cowherd did this not only not get angry but married her. I really don't understand. Why do I feel that the Cowherd is a scumbag?"
I was dumbfounded by a series of questions. Children today have too avant-garde thoughts and mature too early, but unlike when we were young, we were all in the sixth grade and still convinced the adults that they picked them up from the depression. When we were young, we were terrible. We naively believed in whatever adults said. Indeed, at that time, we had only a few textbooks and adults' mouths. Unlike children today, in this era of information explosion, their IQ was simply incomparable to our childhood.
We also learned "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" when we were young. Not only did we not raise the amazing question that the Cowherd is a scumbag, we also foolishly regarded folk stories as reality. On the seventh day of the lunar calendar, I would also invite a few companions to go under the grape trellis to listen to the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl talking. However, I haven't heard people whispering for several years. At that time, I mistakenly thought there was something wrong with the grape trellis or my hearing was wrong.
Look at the current children again. Even if your teacher and parents fool him into going under the grape trellis to listen to the Cowherd and Weaver Girl talking, the children will not go, and say "Don't lie to me, that's a legend" and you will be retorted.
So nowadays children are very smart and smart.
Back to the topic, when facing the child’s questions, I was speechless. Knowing what I knew, and not knowing what I didn’t know, is that I knew. I will never pretend to understand. I smiled awkwardly at the child and answered honestly: "I'm sorry, the teacher can't answer this question for a while. But please give me time to think carefully."
Although I can't answer the child's question, I always feel like there is a knot in my heart, which is very awkward.
So I thought about eating, sleeping, and even dreamed: Is the Cowherd a scumbag?
As I kept thinking, the answer gradually emerged: the Cowherd is not a scumbag.
First of all: The Cowherd's ultimate kindness can be seen through the meticulous care of the old cow. There is absolutely no good factor in the scumbag's heart. If there is a trace of kindness, this man will not become a scumbag.
Secondly, the Cowherd did not peep at the fairies taking a bath. The article says that the fairies played in the water by the lake rather than taking a bath. The motive for the Cowherd to come here is because of the guidance of the divine cow. The motive is pure and not mixed with any evil factors.
In the end, the Cowherd did not steal the Weaver Girl's clothes. Clothes were just a medium for blind dates. Taking clothes was just a way to get to know the Weaver Girl. Let's trace back to the distant ancient times. Blind dates were not as convenient as they are now. Meeting, adding WeChat, and chatting. At that time, it was difficult for men and women to meet without kinship, so it was difficult to meet privately. So how can I find my favorite partner? It is either the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, or the ancient and clumsy ways of against mountain songs , throwing hydrangea and other ancient and clumsy ways.
You said that if the Cowherd didn't take away the Weaver Girl's clothes, how would he meet the Weaver Girl? Anyway, you can't rush forward and introduce yourself straightforwardly: Hello, Weaver Girl, I am Cowherd, I want to fall in love with you.
Oh my God, that's so straight. I don't think a woman would like such a naughty man.
Let’s look at another detail: when the Weaver Girl was looking for clothes, the Cowherd appeared at the right time. He came out with a gauze dress with both hands. Note that the word “其” portrays the Cowherd’s respectfully to the fullest. If it is a scumbag, he will definitely walk out with a smile on his face and tease the Weaver Girl, but the Cowherd does not.
No wonder Weaver Girl fell in love with her at first sight, fell in love with her at first sight, and was entrust her to life for her first sight.
Appearance is born from the heart. As soon as he appeared, the Cowherd captured the Weaver Girl's heart with the face of a gentleman.
Look at the story below. After the Cowherd married the Weaver Girl, he was still dedicated to her. Even when the Weaver Girl was captured by the Queen Mother of , he would sacrifice his life to save her. Although she failed, she worked hard after all.
Finally, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are separated from the Tianhe River. There is only one chance to meet each other a year. The Cowherd still remains unfamiliar with the Weaver Girl in the depths of his soul. This is why the story of "As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, it will be better than countless people in the world", and the love oath of "If the two loves for a long time, how can they be together day and night".
So for such a passionate and affectionate man, how could we label him a scumbag?
