2025 Year of the Second Year: "Strong wood presses the green dragon, and the three of them want to wear red" Analysis and exploration
Friends, at this time when it is warm and cold, there is an interesting topic about our Chinese cultural traditions and customs, that is, the upcoming year of 2025. There is a proverb that is sung, saying that "a strong wood crushes the green dragon, and the three of them must wear red". This confuses everyone, what does this mysterious and curious sentence mean? Next, let me explain it with a humorous and down-to-earth language style.
1. Unveil the riddle - "strong wood presses the green dragon" in the year of Yi Si
We first have to figure out what "strong wood" and "green dragon" mean. As we all know, in traditional Chinese culture, the Five Elements Doctrine and the Bagua Doctrine are very important ideological systems. In the Five Elements Doctrine, "wood" is one of the links, and "Qinglong" is one of the eight trigrams. Then the phrase "strong wood suppresses the green dragon", literally, is like a powerful wood element suppressing the power of the green dragon.
But don't worry, this is not a terrible prophecy. On the other hand, this is a description of the fortune for the coming year. To put it simply, the element of wood is particularly vigorous during the year, and the green dragon represents auspiciousness and prosperity, and the two complement each other, indicating that the year will be full of life and vitality.
Two or three people should wear red
So, what is the matter with "three people want to wear red"? In traditional Chinese culture, red is a symbol of auspiciousness, festivity, and prosperity. So the meaning of this proverb is that there are three special people or groups in need of more joy and good luck in the upcoming year of Otomi. And wearing red is one way to bring good luck.
As for who these three are, everyone may have different understandings. But in my opinion, these three can be understood as the three most important characters in our lives - the elderly, the children, and ourselves. First of all, the elderly are the precious wealth of the family, they have experienced ups and downs and witnessed the growth of the family. Let them wear more red is a reward for their years of hard work, and it is also a wish for them to live a long and healthy life; Children are the hope of the future and the new hope of the family. They need healthy and happy growth to support the continuation and inheritance of the family; As for ourselves, we need a little red blessing even more, and we all need more motivation and vitality in our work and life.
3. Wearing red is not just a formality
But yes, I have to say, wearing red isn't just a formality. It is more of a love of life and a positive attitude. Even if you don't wear red, there are other ways you can express this positive attitude. For example, put some red decorations in your home, or do more things that make you happy.
Fourth, the humorous ending resonates
Okay, well, having said all that, do you have a deeper understanding of this proverb? In fact, the phrase "strong wood presses the green dragon, and the three of them want to wear red" is not a mysterious prophecy, but a good wish for our lives and a positive outlook for the future. So here, I wish you all the best in the new year! It doesn't matter if you choose to wear a red outfit or do something else to cheer yourself up. Let's look forward to a vibrant and energetic 2025 year! Don't forget to add some joy to the elderly, children and yourself!
