Chapter 372: Inspiration from the New Year
The Chinese New Year is always busy, and Wang Meng, as a young man, is even more busy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Relatives and elders have to visit, as a young man in his 20s, it is natural to pay New Year's greetings everywhere.
On the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family sat together and had a reunion dinner.
Wang Meng's grandparents did not come this year, and in their hometown, they were taken care of by Aunt Wang Meng's family.
Jiang Shuying hasn't married after all, so the family of four is very comfortable on the night of the thirties.
"It is not an exaggeration to say that the comics industry is a new industry, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an industry that has always been dynamic. With the development of the economy and the expansion of various communication channels, the progress of the comic industry has been strong in recent years. Especially after the superhero series driven by our Marvel, many domestic comic companies have seen a new direction. It's full of pride. Wang Zhiwei drank a few glasses, and sat there with a bit of style to give his son and daughter Kan Dashan.
"Well, it's not good to be alone, the spring is the expectation, and others are improving, which can also remind us that we can't fall behind, and if we fall behind, we will be beaten. I love to see things like this. Wang Mengdao.
He does have a bit of a virgin mentality, maybe as an unstandard angry young man, Wang Meng is qualified.
How to say it? It may also be that after some achievements, I like to be compassionate to others.
This also explains that when people are poor, they always see their own one-third of an acre.
And after having enough food and clothing, they will want to be respected by others and like to see other people's praise. This is not vanity, but subconscious behavior.
As the ancients said, if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are rich, you will help the world. As the ancients said, wealth does not return to the hometown, like brocade clothes at night.
The change of human nature is not only a simple improvement of self-cultivation, but also a greater reason for the improvement of external power and wealth. Maybe that's a bit 'black'. But the kind of ancient gentleman, poor and unswerving, mighty and unyielding, is really very few, very few, and few are pitiful.
It is precisely because of the pitiful few, all noble, that it is great.
It's like the style of an ancient gentleman, and it will become a cabbage.
In modern times, after breaking free from the cage of Confucian righteousness for 2,000 years, today's society is too impetuous. The 100-year history of humiliation lets the people know who you want to divide reasoned with?
Speaking to robbers, it doesn't work at all.
Only with a hard fist and money in your pocket can you straighten your waist.
Counting on the righteousness of the whole body, he will only be scolded for being poor and sour.
If you have money and status, you are saying that Haoran righteousness is great. It's disgusting but inevitable.
Just like England, how did you make your fortune? Born as a robber and a pirate, now people are called gentlemen.
Not to mention hypocrisy, you can see that many people admire the so-called 'gentleman'.
As for the African black uncles who were almost squeezed out of the last dime by the British back then, the Indian Asan, and even the people of my big rabbit country, they still yearn for other people's lives, and they feel that everyone is good, the system is good, the welfare is good, in short, all kinds of good ......
This kind of topic is too deep and complicated, so let's not talk about it, and I will talk about it too far.
Let's just say that today's Wang Meng has a bit of status and a bit of capital, so I hope that through his own drive, he can make domestic comics, movies and other industries develop.
Maybe that's what successful people are looking for.
Therefore, after Wang Zhiwei said that his comic industry has driven the domestic comic industry, Wang Meng is very happy and agrees. Even Wang Zhiwei felt proud.
Wang Meng knows that Marvel has taken off and no longer needs his own guidance.
Wang Meng gave the former Marvel an idea, and now this idea has become a thriving tree, looking at the health of the tree, it is obvious that it can grow into a towering tree.
Therefore, Wang Meng felt that the 'forced style' should continue to improve.
Asked: "Dad, our comics are also the leading ones in China, I think not only can we not be satisfied, but we must also have a pioneering spirit." The superhero series led by Marseille will not stop for 20 years. However, we can't walk on one leg, I think it's okay to continue to develop a new one. ”
"Oh," Wang Zhiwei was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you think?"
Not only Wang Zhiwei, but even Lu Man and the absent-minded Wang Tian all looked at Wang Meng excitedly.
Wang Meng smiled and said, "In this way, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I will tell you a story about the 'year'......"
-- It is said that in ancient times, there was a four-horned and four-legged beast -- because of the shortage of food due to heavy snow in winter, he often went to the nearby villages to find food; because of his large body, short temper, and ferocity, it brought great disasters to the villagers. At the end of each month, people arrange their clothes to help the old and the young, and go to the nearby bamboo forest to escape the New Year.
This year, while packing up and fleeing, the people of the village came across a child about seven or eight years old who collapsed on the side of the road hungry. A kind old woman woke up the child and asked him to go up the mountain to hide from the evil beast - and the clever child followed the people of the village to the bamboo forest behind the village with the old woman.
Due to the cold weather in the bamboo forest in winter, everyone is so cold that they have cut down bamboo to build houses and burn fires to keep warm. The child who was rescued by the old woman asked everyone curiously: "Our bamboo forest is so close to the village, aren't we afraid that we will come here every year?"
An old man replied to him: "When I was young, I came here with the villagers to escape the New Year, and in the years when the snow was very heavy, I chased after it because it was very hungry, but every time it saw the villagers cutting bamboo in this bamboo forest, it hurried away." ”
The child thought for a moment and told everyone: "I have a way to get rid of the 'year' so that everyone will not have to come out and flee every month from now on." ”
The clever boy told everyone, "Chop more bamboos and take them with you, and the whole village can go home tonight!" Just hang a red cloth outside your door, and you won't come again until tomorrow after dawn. ”
The villagers listened to the child's words in disbelief, and the old man of the village took them back to their homes.
Soon it was night, and the villagers were afraid that no one would dare to sleep because of the "New Year", so in addition to hanging red cloth strips outside their doors, they came to the open space in the middle of the village to guard some broken bamboo knots brought back from the bamboo forest. In the cold weather, everyone lit a fire to keep warm, and when they were hungry, they brought out some food...... In the middle of the night, a huge roar was heard, and everyone shrank in fear.
Then the clever boy suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go and bring him in, and then we will throw into the fire the broken bamboos that we have been keeping watch all night on." ”
Before the kind old woman reached out to pull it, the child had already come to the entrance of the village, and the child saw that Nian was breaking into the village and destroying a lot of things, so he shouted loudly: "You come every year, so that the people can't live and work in peace and contentment, today I must give you something powerful!!"
"Nian" heard the child's cry, so he followed the sound to chase after him, but he didn't dare to enter when he saw that the red cloth was hanging on the door and wall of the house, so he followed the child's voice and endured the hungry belly to the open space in the middle of the village.
Then the child said loudly, "Folks, throw broken bamboo into the fire!!".
But everyone had already stood there because they were afraid, and at this moment, "Nian" picked up the child with his horn and threw it heavily on the ground. The villagers reacted to the sound of the child falling to the ground and threw bamboo knots into the fire. Since it was not long after felling, the wet bamboo knots burst one after another when they encountered the fire, and they crackled!
"Nian" turned around when he heard this sound, and did not damage anything in the village again.
When the day dawned, "Nian" was scared away by the sound of the bamboo joints thrown into the fire bursting, and the householder was saved because of the red stripe hanging in front of the door, and Nian did not enter, although the child was seriously injured, but he had amazing healing powers, and he came back to life on the verge of death, and people rejoiced, and later, people learned that the child was the reincarnation of the gods in the sky. And this day is the first day of the first lunar month.
Because the "year" did not die, every year on the wax moon, everyone waited for the broken bamboo festival to get rid of this monster at night, and Chinese New Year's Eve came from this. But a year has passed, and no one has ever seen the "year" again, and some are just the firecrackers and red cloth strips hung in front of the door to prevent the arrival of the "year".
However, it leaves us with this legend and the custom of the New Year: on the night of the moon, everyone gathers together to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and waits for the bell of Chinese New Year's Eve. Set off firecrackers and stick door couplets. Wait until dawn to visit each other's neighbors, give greetings and blessings, etc.
On the morning of the first day of the new year, the villagers visited each other to see if the neighbors were injured and said some auspicious and polite words, hoping that the "year" of the next year's lunar month would not come again......
