In the history of human civilization, cattle are friends of human beings and have been playing a great role. People eat, wear, live and walk in Sri Lanka. Farming depends on cows, pulling carts depends on cows, and even people's names, surnames and animal signs are inseparable from cows! For thousands of years, there have been many legends and poems praising cows.
The ugly year of the ox, when we read the poems about the ox, we found that the simple and honest old ox, once a poetic realm, had so much humor and charm! The ancient poem about "ox" is "Ode to Shi Niu" written by Li Bai in Tang Dynasty: This stone looks like an ox and has been buried for thousands of years. When the wind blows, my hair doesn't move, and when it rains, I sweat all over. Cao Fangmei's entrance, the shepherd boy pulls the horn and doesn't look back. There is no rope on the nose, and the world is closed at night. There is also Song Luyou's "Drinking Cattle Song": a stream outside the door is crystal clear, and the old man attracts cattle to drink the stream. The stream is clear and happy, and it doesn't pollute the belly of cattle, and it is not afraid to practice frost and cold. Shedong has thin soil and gravel everywhere, and the father and son are hardworking and skilled. Needless to say, I am still working hard at the age of eighty. Cows can have calves. I have a grandson, and I will follow my old hometown from generation to generation. Life has everything, just picking up cows is not enough! There is also the "shepherd's words" written by Tang Li: herding cattle in the morning and going downstream. Go to herd cattle at night and drive cattle in the village. Walking in the rain-covered Woods, folding and lying on the green grass, singing a little song. The waist is full of short arrows of basil, and I am no longer afraid of tigers biting my calves.
Cattle are the embodiment of hard work and dedication, and the symbol of tenacity and strength. For thousands of years, people have been praising the diligence and dedication of cattle! Cows are closely related to people. Cattle have long been personified and endowed with some human characteristics, mainly used as compliments. Cattle is synonymous with honesty, and its character is simple and honest, gentle, filial and hard-working. The spirit of "old ox" has become people's sincere praise for cattle, and the most admirable thing is Mr. Lu Xun's "evaluation" of cattle-"look at a thousand fingers coldly, bow down and be a willing cow" and "eat grass and milk." Its spirit, like human beings, shows its strength in the ordinary!
In this complex society, cows still have some survival principles worth learning: calm and steady personality, ability to adapt to survival, and dedication to goodness.
Because cattle have these advantages, they can live in harmony with human beings, hold their heads high in nature forever, and become a powerful weapon to overcome nature.
