Today, with the smog sweeping through China, this is a collection of beautiful articles that can purify the soul. The author expressed his deep love for the mountains, rivers and trees on this planet where we live, and let our hearts eroded by smog see some bright colors. The book is full of heartfelt cries of a pure heart, which makes people move and reflect.
Of course, the initial eyes of human beings are not as greedy and cruel as modern people, but just frightened and confused. If Darwin's theory is correct, then they must have retained some characteristics of apes, such as their nostalgia for trees and more avoidance of wild animals. In fact, our ancestors who stood up, at least at the beginning, were not used to crawling and always had a nostalgic complex. When they failed to fight the wild animals in the forest, they had to climb the tree and condescend to escape. Perhaps they have also sighed: What am I doing standing?
Man's earliest home was in a tree, which our ancestors called a "nest".
Our ancient books record: "In ancient times, there were fewer people and more animals." The first person who invented nesting was called Youchao. Perhaps it can be said that the history of "building a nest with wood" initiated by Youchao is the starting point of our family.
At the beginning of human beings, they did not pretend to be the spirit of all things, nor were they necessarily smarter than animals. There is an old legend that one family was inspired by seeing a bird's nest in a tree before building a nest.
Before that, our ancestors ate naked in the forest during the day and lived naked among branches at night.
Bird's nest can shelter from wind and rain, so it is also called Style Nest and Swift. After a long time, until today, some people still call their new home a love nest. The cause of human reproduction, after its own nest, is generally carried out in the house
After drilling wood for fire and stopping eating animals and blood, the smell of fire and barbecue appeared in the house, and smoke began to come out from the roof, which was a human fireworks.
In short, this is our home.
People can only live in the environment.
The natural environment is natural, such as the birthplace of Chinese ancestors in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins, with rich aquatic plants, dense forests, tigers whistling and apes singing, and rich wild fruits. However, people's living places in the natural environment need to be slightly built. It is almost natural for people to come out of the forest and get close to green; People are afraid of humidity, so choose sunny slopes; As a simple and necessary preventive measure, there is a fence composed of dead branches and rotten wood.
When one of the dead branches stuck in the soil inadvertently germinated in the following spring, our ancestors were surprised, which made their eyes shift from paying more attention to the wind, rain and lightning in the sky to the land.
Land is as magical as it is, closest to human beings.
Later, there was a "five-acre house, and the tree was mulberry." I also had the impulse and idea of sowing at the earliest time. It was after a collection that the fruits had hard shells. After being broken with stones, they give off a fragrance and put it in your mouth. It's delicious. Why not bury it in the soil? Of course, you should be buried in the place where the dead wood grows new buds, go to see it once a day, carefully and quietly approach the land where the seeds are sown, and watch it with awe and mystery.
By the way, at that time, strong men went hunting, and women and children went gathering just to survive and eat. Human beings are still far from the concepts of wealth accumulation and output growth.
Hunting is difficult and full of risks. Those wild animals were not only defeated by people, but also had to escape quickly.
The ability of human beings to escape in a hurry was originally taught by wild animals. Some animals other than wild animals, such as wild sheep and rabbits, can be enemies, but they are extremely difficult to catch. Their ability to get rid of their opponents and their running speed are far above that of humans. When a wild sheep broke through, the brave man had a whim, grabbed a stone and fought hard. From then on, the stone became a weapon, and only then was it thrown.
By contrast, a party is like roaming.
The golden season of gathering is summer and autumn, summer is picking, autumn is picking, and all kinds of wild fruits and seeds can be seen everywhere in the forest. First, pick and eat, and then take it home when you are full. At that time, there were no pockets and no containers, so I piled them on big leaves and carried them home. It was very hard. There are starving children at home, and men who come back from hunting have to eat besides meat. They left empty-handed and waited at the door. When they saw the woman with the green leaves back, they "sighed".
The language at that time was much simpler than it is now. The advantage is that it saves a lot of nonsense, which is nothing more than "eat, sleep, go out and come back" and you need to use gestures.
There are no carols or curses, mostly expressions, and more often the action or silence of images. The process of obtaining information is not only before language, but always above language.
Winter is cold and long.
People have to be thrifty with dried fruits and animal meat, half hungry and half full, burn firewood thrifty, wait for the bonfire carefully and sleep by the ashes. What is more terrible than the cold is actually the information of winter, which blocks everything and makes it lifeless. The gate is often blocked by heavy snow, which makes people afraid that they can't see the road and the land. What the heavy snow brought to the ancestors was by no means the elegance of appreciating snow and reciting poems, but the white sadness after struggling out of the black terror of the night.
The biting cold wind rolled up from the snow cuts the house like a knife and cuts people's hearts. Terror and hunger and cold make people nervous. Our ancestors raised their hands above their heads and shouted, "It's over!"
However, spring thunder sounded.
The wind is getting warmer. It is not so much that people's skin feels it first, but that people's hearts are revived after being rubbed. After the snow melted, roads and land reappeared, and people shouted happily, "All right! Ok! "
The real first snow in the history of human civilization!
Language is not only created in labor, but also called out at will in fear, despair and joy.
Everyone's door is open.
"All right!" "All right!" People greet each other, collect firewood, and pile up dried meat together. The fire is flourishing and the meat is fragrant. The wind of nature told our ancestors that the creator made you stand on the ground, experience the cold winter and watch the spring.
Everything is here, and so are you.
Xiao Xinwei poked her head out of the once snow-covered land where the seeds were buried. The land was wet with snow water.
The ancestors knelt on the ground and sobbed. It turned out that tears of joy flowed on the earth for the first time. Land, you are so rich and kind.
Knowing that crops can grow in the ground, every family has a garden full of fruitful trees, and wild flower seeds shaken off by birds from their wings also take root and bloom in the garden.
In the shade, flowers, birds, insects, children's cries, men's and women's responses, and even laughing and cursing, the day of having a home and a garden began.
This is home-the home of mankind a long time ago.
