Chapter 215: The End of Man
In this matter, there is no problem, all problems are imaginary, there may be many reasons to be lazy, and among them is this. Everyone likes to be lazy, however, some people are not used to being lazy, and some are not used to being diligent. Once laziness is cultivated, it is not easy to get rid of it, but diligence is the opposite, diligence is easy to become lazy, laziness is not in the end, it will not be transformed into diligence. Some people are born lazy, but they can survive, and they seem to be happier than busy people, and some are born diligent, but as a result, they are sad and angry, they are not satisfied with anything, they feel inadequate, they are afraid of being eliminated, and they have a hard time.
It is convenient to walk from the main road, and it is convenient to walk from the small road, which is convenient and precious, and does not hurt the harmony.
The good thing about getting from the big road is that Yoon Hyun-in doesn't get dizzy. Take the path, the hillside is steep, the foot is unstable, easy to fall, after falling, must roll down from the hillside, Yin Xianren has developed horizontally in the past two years, unstoppable, the possibility of rolling down is great, for personal safety, to avoid the trouble of work-related injury identification in the future, it is better to take the big road, even if it is a circle, it is worth doing. It makes sense to be in a car.
It is conceivable that if Yin Xianren has an accident, the first person responsible is Conan, because Conan is the closest to him, I am afraid that he will not be able to explain clearly, and if he has to explain for a long time, people may not believe it. Whether there is camera equipment in this place or not, nothing can be said clearly, it can be presumed that there is a fault, and if there is a fault, it will be compensated. This is not something that Ji Conan can bear. Human life is priceless now. It's okay to meet a reasonable person, but if you meet an unreasonable person, the second half of Conan's life can be regarded as an explanation. Dealing with people is the most delicate, especially careful, not sloppy, not gullible, not fully trusted.
When he arrived at Jia Shan's house, he was carving, as if he had been born for lettering all his life. His craftsmanship is getting better and better, practice makes perfect, and writing still needs others to write first, hand it over to him, and then he will process it. It takes a certain amount of skill to write it yourself.
He has this skill, even if his two sons don't get money while working outside, but are deceived by the people in the agency, it doesn't matter, Jia Shan is rich, and his son is frustrated at work, he is his son's greatest help and security, as long as he carries a bank card, he is not afraid to travel all over the world. The father who loves his son the most is the father, even if the son is useless, the father always waits at home, will not dislike it, and welcomes the wandering son back to his hometown.
Jia Shan is not afraid of finding a job, not afraid of being unemployed, as long as he engraves the words well, he will only earn and not lose money. Because this is technology, it is craftsmanship, with these, it is better than having 10,000 taels of gold to sit and eat the sky. What's more, his career is stable, he doesn't have to worry about unemployment, as long as there are people, there is something to do, because the living will die in the future, and the death of people must consider making a monument, everyone wants to live forever, and they all hope to be immortal. However, few people get such results. Ji Conan thought to himself that everyone would have a resurrection. In the future, some will live forever, and some will die again. Very few people understand this truth. Ji Conan also seems to understand whether he understands or not, because he has not experienced it, and he cannot convince people, including himself. However, Ji Conan knew in his heart that this was something that would happen in the future. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, as long as you are sure that it will happen, you don't have to grasp the details. I guess I just need to know with confidence.
When it comes to his current work, Jia Shan is on the right track. There is a craft, do not worry about eating, drinking and wearing. Craftsmen can find food in any era and place, eat by craft, just like carpenters, they will not be unemployed, unless they dismiss themselves, there is no boss to tell them, you will not have to go to work tomorrow, carpenters and stonemasons are indispensable in the countryside, they are the most popular.
Ji Conan knows very well in his heart that people will always die. Death is not terrible, sooner or later it will come, the problem is the days of life, and it is difficult to pass the days when there is nothing to do. Only by doing something can we feel satisfied and hopeful. Even if you die, you will die well.
Ji Conan learned: The people of this clan are old and do not implement the cremation policy, and there are many green mountains, so why worry about having nowhere to bury the bones of the faithful? Of course, this loyalty is a respectful expression for all those who have died.
A few years, more than ten years, and decades before a person is about to die, he must ask a master carpenter to make a coffin, make it, paint it, dry it in the shade, and paint it again, so that the black coffin is ready, and it is stored in a firewood shed or an idle house, or at the head of the gable, where the sun can't shine and the wind can't blow.
Sometimes Conan visited the villagers, and as soon as he entered the living room, he found that on one side of the living room, there was a black lacquered coffin, or two coffins. If there is an old man in the family, prepare one, if there are two old people, prepare two, or prepare for the old man of the man's family, or prepare for the old man of the woman's family, and four old people on both sides of the family should prepare four black lacquered coffins. It is not surprising that these coffins are seen every day, and they examine death every day, and count the days of death every day, which is also a kind of black humor.
Conan only began to see the coffin, which was a bit surprising, because in the place where Conan lived, the coffin was only made when he saw that the old man was dying, or when he had already lost his breath. Wait until the coffin is finished before it is painted, and it does not dry immediately after painting, and as a result, when people carry the coffin, it is easy to come into contact with the front or back of the paint. After contact, it will definitely leave traces, and with traces, it is difficult to clean up. All in all, very rushed and everything was in a hurry. Therefore, mourning is also considered a major event in life. Ordinary people will attach great importance to it.
From the perspective of hygiene, the Tujia people are still more prepared, and when the family is old, when they are in the family, they can deal with the aftermath calmly and easily.
Another point is that there is plenty of wood in the mountains, and some villagers have long prepared for themselves in a hundred years, planting saplings for coffins, and by the time they are dying, the saplings have grown into timber and can be used, and they are more than enough, not only for themselves to die, but also for their spouses to die.
The mountains and forests are very large, vast and boundless, and no matter how many people are buried, they are not conspicuous. However, in the plains, there is a dirt bag that can be seen from afar, so in the plain area where the Han people live, cremation is practiced, and burial is not practiced. However, after cremation, the relatives of the deceased still have to scatter the ashes into the coffin, and perform the funeral rite and bury the coffin in the soil as before, which is a portrayal of entering the earth for peace. Therefore, in the Han area, the policy of burial has been gradually liberalized, and both horizontal and vertical burials are to be buried, so why bother with another cremation procedure? Spending money, people are still guilty, and the relatives of the deceased don't think about it in their hearts, so it's better to let go than this. It is still necessary to follow the steps and gradually open up the country by district and village by village, and to draw lots. It is estimated that it will be released in the future.
Conan and Yoon Hyun-in admire craftsmen very much, they are not afraid of unemployment, who is on the stage and who is offstage, who is on and who is off, and it has no effect on him. No matter what the dynasty, people will die. People's concepts have been formed for thousands of years and are not easy to change for a while. Even if it is revolutionary, it will only take care of it for a while, and the power of tradition is very strong. These craftsmen will not be unemployed, they will not be without food, and they will eat and drink well.
No matter how the wind and clouds change, people will die, and people will die like a lamp going out, and everything will be empty in a blink of an eye. The dead are dead, and it is not too much to know what the living do with the dead, and how to toss them.
Rich people, the tombstone is bigger, more luxurious, no money, the tombstone is smaller, it is thinner, you can't say that he is not a tombstone but a stone, right?
Both the rich and the poor will die, and the result will be the same, just like in a public bathhouse, everyone is the same, and it is impossible to see who is rich and who is not, who is an official and who is a citizen. It's the same when you take off your clothes, there's no difference, and in the bathhouse, you can see fairness, it's the same for everyone. In the face of death, everyone is the same, it is inevitable to die, no matter how powerful people are, including Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Alexander, there is no immortality. They all come in the empty space and go in the empty space. When he came into the world, he himself cried, and when he died, his relatives wept. From beginning to end, it was accompanied by crying.
Jia Shan always has that expression, he doesn't like to laugh, he doesn't worry, he is expressionless. Those who came to ask him to make a monument probably felt sad about the sudden loss of their relatives, and came to make a stone monument as a memorial, which can be regarded as the comfort of the deceased and the comfort of their own descendants; Jasan can't laugh, otherwise the customer will be angry. Secretly happy in my heart, of course you can, after all, someone sent money, and when the blind man sees the money, his eyes will open, and even when the ghost sees the money, he still helps to grind. There's no one who doesn't like money. However, the Chinese people talk about subtlety, even if they are happy to death in their hearts, they must pretend to be sad and sad, so that they can make money. When her husband was alive, the woman said love every day, and when she died, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do, and without waiting for the bones to cool, she hurriedly went to her friend. All human words are lies, do not be gullible.
You can't be too sad and give others a bad feeling, as if everyone is poor in money, so that people don't want to associate with them, and over time, they will only deal with stones. It's not easy to engage in this industry, you can't be happy, you can't be too sad, it's really not easy to grasp this balance.
Jia Shan said: "There are many people coming and going, you can't laugh if you want to laugh, you can't cry if you want to cry, only when you come into contact with people's pain, you can understand what happiness is." ”
Conan felt that what he said made sense. Now, Conan understands why the doctors and nurses in hospitals, especially high-class hospitals, have their faces carved out of wood and nothing has changed.
They have been in contact with the patient year after year, month, month, day, and day, and they are used to seeing the patient's pain, so they become numb and no longer worry about the patient. Because they have seen so many people whose faces have become distorted and deformed by their illness, it can be said that none of them who come to the hospital can laugh, and unless they have a firm conviction, they will despise the pain, endure the severe pain, and will not succumb to the disease, but will laugh at the sudden calamity. Today's doctors and nurses have all kinds of problems, which have not been solved, and can only go to work step by step. They all want to cure the sick and save people, but there may be some difficulties and contradictions that are difficult to solve when additional tasks are assigned to complete. Not every hospital can completely solve it, this is a social problem. Ji Conan thought to himself.
If you feel depressed and feel that you are not as happy as others, it is better to go to the hospital and see where hell is and where is heaven. Often in the hospital, people can also become numb. It's best to visit once in a while, and if you're not doing well, a visit to the hospital is the best option.
Conan thought of this, and felt unworthy for Officer Li. In order to ask for some benefits, he does not hesitate to sacrifice his physical health, and often drinks and smokes, because these are all obtained for nothing, so he will not feel sorry for the silver. You must know that the sky has eyes, and Director Li is aging before he gets old, so that his appearance does not match his age. Although he received a lot of benefits and resources in his position as an officer, and his two sons settled down, his health deteriorated.
It is precisely because of this that the responsible persons at the township and township level held a meeting and resolved to take advantage of this adjustment to remove Officer Li and replace him with a new one.
Jia Shan said as he traced.
Jia Shan's handwriting is not good, he first draws lines on the stone tablet, crosses horizontally and vertically, and becomes a square, and then asks the teacher to come and write, and after writing, he uses a knife to carve again. The traditional craft is to carve with a knife and an axe.
Now that the technology is advanced, an electric grinder is used to polish the written characters, which is very fast, but it loses the unique beauty of calligraphy.
Generally speaking, Conan carefully observed, with an electric engraving machine for polishing the words, those pen strokes can not be brought out, each word of the pen work, are round, not vigorous and powerful at all, this is not called calligraphy, but I really want to cartoon fonts. Is it a baby body, it is not like it, it may be four dislikes, or it is a calligraphy school created by oneself. However, the people in the mountains don't know what the body is, as long as it is a word. I don't know how to appreciate. Those who know how to appreciate can't see it. This gives Jia Shan some freedom, and he doesn't have to worry about other people's judgments, so he can go into battle easily and engrave carefully.
Conan doesn't like such a popular font, it's the same, because the inscription is polished with electricity, which is fast and workable, unlike in the past, when a stone tablet took more than a week. Now it's different, a stele can be delivered in less than half a day.
Now is the era of fast food, even the elaborate carving stele industry is also speeding up, I don't know why Jia Shan carved like this, maybe it is to increase income, that is simply certain, but the speed of death is incalculable.
The stone monument of Jiashan is famous far and wide, and if someone from the nearby village leaves, they will come to ask him to engrave the monument. Jia Shan was a little too busy and wanted to ask his two sons to go home to help, but the two sons couldn't endure the hardships, and when they saw the stone powder flying in the sky, they were discouraged. Young people are afraid of hardship, and the more they are afraid of hardship, the more bitter they are, but the hardships always haunt young people. It's hard to explain this phenomenon. It may also be bitter from the beginning, and the young man is sure to be cool, and the one who plays cool will inevitably suffer. Because the cool ones are self-centered, they don't know how to be humble, and the leopard will come to drag them when the dog is crazy.
