01 The sweetness of the five tastes
The five senses of man include sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. These five senses will vary with the growth of life or the environment in which he grows.
Some places especially like to eat spicy, some places eat particularly salty, and some places pay more attention to sweetness. Different regions lead to differences in taste.
Is that sense of taste also related to people's personality? From a wide range of examples around the world, children generally love sugar. Probably when they taste sugar as children, they will have a very happy sense of satisfaction on the tip of their tongue.
Therefore, the whole world will probably give it a very happy and pampering meaning for sweetness.
So we'll say the word sugar, we'll say sweet. In fact, we will also say that this person is very sweet, that person is very sweet, it is not exactly taste.
Taste stealth becomes a personality. In our daily lives, we often encounter some people who like to say very nice words and sweet words. Then let's also talk about how the mouth is so sweet today? Just see others and praise.
At the same time, we will also feel that everyone probably craves something sweet in themselves, that is, the feeling of happiness and being pampered.
When we were children, we probably all coddled. If a child comes to me and talks very loudly, I will actually hurt him very much, because I think children are so cute.
02 The sour taste of the five tastes
But our contradiction is that the sense of taste grows with age. Probably when the teenager is developing, his sour response tends to mature, and he will want to eat something sour.
The word acid is not only about vinegar and acidic fruits, we often talk about acid people, acid people, and sour apple awards. In the United States, a star who does not win a positive award, sometimes people will deliberately give him a sour apple award.
So the word acid has a sarcastic meaning in it.
After the stage of eating sweetness, I will taste a certain sense of loss for the first time in my life.
In childhood, it is easy for us to be loved by adults. When I was a child, my mouth was very sweet, and when I went out with my mother on the bus, I would take the initiative to call other people's aunts. People will think I'm so cute.
But in adolescence, I have a very strange kind of loneliness and rebellion that is difficult to explain.
I don't really want adults to spoil me. I like to hide alone and read weird books like The Troubles of Young Werther.
This is a very special stage in my growing memory, I don't want to continue to play a role that always pleases others, I hope to be cool.
That cool actually means that I want to become an adult.
Sourness is an important stage in the transition from the sweetness of children to adults. Tasting the sour taste of life is actually a process of maturation. We slowly allow ourselves to mature.
What you want to get, you don't get, there is loss in your heart, there is a sour taste, and even a little jealousy of the person who gets it, in fact, it is a process of growth. Because you were so pampered as a child, you can get whatever you want.
03 Five flavors and miscellaneous chen are rich life phenomena
Taste is often examining our own maturity in life.
Sometimes I see a person who is 40 years old and close to 50 years old, his speech is still very loud, he always has a red bow tied to his head, and then he moves like a child.
I would feel a little scared and a little creepy. How could this man be so immature? He showed a childishness that was not commensurate with his age.
Why does this age still speak in such a voice, with such behavior and attitude and such a costume in front of the public?
It's definitely about psychology. Will these people refuse to grow? Because there will be loss in growth, and the process of growing up will be lonely. Even if a person grows to a certain extent, in the face of the bitter taste of life, he must be able to tolerate or accept.
If you only eat sweet, reject sour, refuse salty, reject spicy, reject bitterness, will it be a full life?
Many people hope that childhood can be extended indefinitely, and we can always be spoiled and eat sweet things forever.
However, life is by no means so simple. If I'm at this age today, it's a shame I haven't tasted the sweetness. Similarly, if I didn't taste sour, salty and spicy, or even bitter, I think it was a pity.
The bitter taste is at the root of the tongue, and it may be the last taste that people have to experience in their growth.
If you yourself reach middle age, your parents are older, your health may not be as good as before, and you can't continue to coddle in front of them.
Instead, you play a mature role, taking on or embracing some of the aging and pain in their bodies. I think at this time, we see a very complete life.
I think in the sense of taste, sometimes I really see that life is a kind of balance.
I like what my mother said about the five flavors and miscellaneous Chen, she said that in this life it seems that she has experienced everything, five flavors and miscellaneous Chen. The five tastes are actually a relatively rich phenomenon of life.
