We all know that there are many colors in life, but in fact, this is because the reflection and refractive index of light are different, and some colors will change. There is usually only one color, and there are seven kinds of rainbows. Let's share some profound meanings of rainbows.
Some profound meanings of rainbow. Rainbow means beauty, fairy tales, nature and fantasy. The rainbow will only appear after the rain, which shows that the beauty to be pursued can only be achieved through some setbacks.
Besides, according to Greek mythology, the rainbow is a bridge between heaven and earth. In ancient times, different civilizations had different beliefs about rainbows. The ancient people in Serbia thought that the rainbow was the bow of the storm god.
Although the rainbow is not really connected with the earth, the legend about a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is well known. It is said that even if you only see the rainbow, you are very lucky. But be careful not to use your fingers, because it will bring you bad luck. The bright rainbow is so beautiful, staring at it, you can't help but feel as if you are going to float.
Therefore, the symbolic meaning of the rainbow is more extensive. After the rain clears, the appearance of rainbow means the end of pain and suffering, and the arrival of success and happiness. "Rainbow" is an active and healthy outlook on life and lifestyle.
Life is full of flavor, which needs to be experienced and tasted slowly. By consuming the cost of health and future life, in exchange for money and status, just like a rainbow can only get one color, it is not worth taking; Rainbow is the result of color balance. We can develop a balance between work and life, health and stress, a rapidly developing society and the individual's heart.

Rainbow is an optical phenomenon in meteorology. When sunlight hits the water droplets in mid-air, the light is refracted and reflected, forming an arched colorful spectrum in the sky. From the outer ring to the inner ring, there are seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple. Also known as Above the Rainbow, Jiang and so on. , referred to as rainbow. In fact, rainbows have countless colors. For example, there are many subtle differences between red and orange.
Rainbow is formed by the scattering and reflection of sunlight on spherical water droplets in the air. When sunlight enters the water droplets, it will also be reflected in the water droplets at different angles, resulting in the rainbow we see. Sunlight enters the water drop, refracts once, then reflects on the back of the water drop, and finally refracts again when it leaves the water drop. Total * * * refracts twice after one reflection. Different lights have different refractive indexes, forming colorful rainbows.
Because of the beauty of the rainbow and its incomprehensible phenomenon, the ancients used myths to explain the rainbow phenomenon on the earth. In China mythology, Nu Wa was refined into five-color stones to fill the sky, and the rainbow was the colorful light emitted by the five-color stones. In Christianity, the Lord asked Noah to make a Covenant with Noah and his descendants with a rainbow, occupying a place in mythology. After Galileo studied the characteristics of light, the rainbow phenomenon can be explained.
Extended data:
There are certain conditions for the emergence of rainbow. If there are water droplets in the air and the sun shines behind the observer at a low angle, an observable rainbow phenomenon may occur. It appeared as soon as it cleared up after the rain. At this time, the air is full of little dust and water droplets, and there are still rain clouds on one side of the sky, which makes the rainbow easier to see. In addition, near the waterfall, spraying water mist into the air with your back to the sun on a sunny day can create an artificial rainbow.
The natural conditions for rainbows are relatively high, so the chances of seeing rainbows are relatively low. For people in many big cities, seeing rainbows is even more valuable. Zhaosu County, the hometown of Gastrodia elata in Xinjiang, is known as the "Rainbow Capital" because of its special geographical conditions and climate. The local meteorological department will incorporate rainbow observation into meteorological information collection and collect data to forecast rainbows.
The rainbow reflected in the rainbow, at least in part, is often visible, even in small puddles. This type of rainbow appears on objects on the water surface, and there may be two mirror arcs above and below the water surface respectively. If the water is calm, the reflected rainbow will appear as a mirror image below the water horizon. Sunlight is first deflected by raindrops and then reflected by the water surface, forming a reflected rainbow.
Some profound meanings of rainbow 3. Learning from the Extension of "Double Rainbow"
A few days ago, a beautiful "double rainbow" appeared in the evening after the rain in Beijing.
Double rainbow is a special phenomenon formed after two reflections in water droplets. A concentric rainbow with a slightly larger diameter and reversed color appears on the periphery of the original rainbow. The inside rainbow is called the main rainbow, the outside is red, the inside is blue, and the color is bright. The outer rainbow is called a sub-rainbow, the outer side is blue, the inner side is red, the color is dark, and it looks like a hair band.
It is verified by experiments that the main rainbow is caused by reflection at the water point, while the auxiliary rainbow is formed by two reflections. As shown below.
This is not the point we are going to talk about today. Today, I mainly talk about the meaning of Chinese characters, especially the meaning of words in classical Chinese.
Most words in classical Chinese are monosyllabic words, not disyllabic words like "auxiliary rainbow". Our ancestors created the word "neon" to accurately express the "second rainbow", which means that "neon" is actually two similar but different things. There are many similar situations. Let's take "neon" as an example to learn.
Classical Chinese is very accurate in grasping the meaning of words. Several words with similar meanings, why use this word instead of others, usually because in addition to facts, it is necessary to express auxiliary information such as identity, feelings and evaluation. For example:
1, "Phoenix", in fact, reflects different genders in a single word, that is, men are Phoenix and women are Phoenix. This difference is similar to the "neon" mentioned above, and now it is often mixed.
2, collapse, originally refers to landslides, and later specifically refers to the death of ancient emperors. Autumn is named after the onomatopoeic word "bang", which is a special word used to indicate the death of princes and kings. "Book of Rites Quli Shang": "Doctors say death, but scholars say they are not rich." In ancient times, death had different names because of different grades. Death is the name of Shu Ren, that is to say, people call it "death", which is the lowest. But "Book of Rites on Tan Gong": "The gentleman says the end, the villain says the death." This little man is the original intention of ordinary people. In addition, it is different from the age of death and the name is different. People who live long can be called "final" or "pawn". Those who are short-lived can be called "Yao" or "Yi". These words reflect different identities and positions, and some comments.
3. "Pressure, attack and attack" are all wars. What is the difference? Identity, status, justice or not, whether the teacher is famous or not, whether he has brought a war drum ... are all differences in one word.
"Zheng": it is a commendatory term, which is often used to attack and attack, and can't be cut. "Shangshu Andrew": "The crime of rhetoric." Another example is "Mencius with all his heart": "Those who levy, also cut."
"Begging" means attacking after the crime is announced, focusing on public opinion, so it is from "words".
"Cutting" is a neutral word, which is often used to declare war openly between princes or peers. Generally, teachers are famous, and only by beating gongs and drums can they March into necrosis. "Mencius tells the world": "Therefore, the son of heaven asks for it and does not cut it." Jiao Xun's justice: "Beggars, loggers, loggers, enemies attack each other." Zheng Xuan wrote: "There are bells and drums to cut." In Zuo Zhuan and Ten Years of Zhuang Gong, there is a saying that Qi attacked me, and there is a narrative of "the public will drum it" and "the people will drum it three times". Later, because the words "levy" and "felling" were often used together, "felling" gradually gained praise.
"Invasion" is derogatory. This is an undeclared war, without any reason or beating drums. It is a direct invasion of other countries.
"Attack" is a sudden attack when people are unprepared. "Twenty-nine Years of Zuo Zhuan and Zhuang Gong": "Each division has bells and drums to attack, without invasion, and lightly attack."
"Attack" is a general term for military attacks.
4. Integration from ancient times to the present: such as "wife", "ass" and "education".
5. Tell a wonderful story about being stingy, stingy and loving. "My uncle asked Yan Zi," What do you mean by being stingy? " Yan Zi said to him, "A miser is a gentleman's way, and a miser is a villain's trip." Uncle Xiang said, "What is it? Yan Zi said: "If you weigh the amount of money and use it sparingly, if you are rich and have no money to hide, you will become stingy." ":If you accumulate too much, you can't divide people, but you have the cheek to support yourself. This is called meanness; You can't separate people and support yourself. This is called love.
Therefore, a stingy husband is a gentleman, and a stingy lover is a trip to a villain. ""。 Suddenly found a theoretical basis for the "buckle" of Taurus! Really well written! My big Taurus will love it! The word "increase" first appeared in Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty. The ancient characters from "He" or "Lai" (grain) and "94" (the ancient word "Lian" refers to a barn) indicate that the grain is ripe and can be harvested and put into the barn.
The original meaning refers to harvesting grain, which means "thirty" in ancient times. After you collect grain, you should take care of it, so it means cherishing and saving. Later, from excessive saving and cherishing, it became stingy and stingy.
6, some parts of speech, meaning has changed, these have special research, here is just a brief list:
6. The meaning of 1 is expanded: for example, "water flows from the ground, and rivers, Huai, He and Han are also", and "Jiang" and "He" are juxtaposed with Huai and Han, meaning "Yangtze River" and "Yellow River". "Jiang" and "He" were proper nouns in ancient times, but now they have been expanded into generic terms. Another example is "women are not good, and they want better women" ("Ximen Bao governs their power"), which means that women are good-looking and do not involve morality. Now, "goodness" can refer to all beautiful attributes, and can modify and limit people, things and things.
6, 2 Narrow the meaning: For example, the word "gold" in the synopsis of the Golden Chamber (Xunzi exhortation) used to refer to all metals, but now it refers to gold. For another example, "tile" refers to all pottery products in ancient times, but in modern times only "a building material for building roofs" is called "tile".
6, 3 change of heart: "Cry without tears, the center is not sad" ("Zhuangzi") refers to tears, and now it turns to "snot"; Another example is "smell", which originally refers to hearing, but now generally refers to "smell".
6, 4 changes in emotional color: For example, the word "humble" in "The First Emperor was not humble" ("Biography of a Teacher") refers to low status, and "despicable" refers to lack of knowledge, not derogatory. Now "meanness" refers to poor quality and has become a derogatory term.
6, 5 Weakening of meaning: For example, "very" means fierce in ancient times, with a high and deep degree of expression, but now the degree of expression is not so profound. "Resentment", which used to refer to hatred and bitterness, now refers to complaining and blaming.
6. Semantic reinforcement: For example, "hate" means regret and dissatisfaction in ancient times, but it means hatred and resentment today. At first, "punishment" only meant blame, but later it was strengthened to mean "killing".
6, 7 Ancient praise and modern disparagement: For example, the ancient "slave" refers to the military attache or right-hand man, which belongs to praise, such as Han Yu's Book with Fengxiang and Xing Shangshu: "Now you are the king's favorite and the minister of the country." . The "slave" in modern Chinese is a "metaphor of the henchmen and accomplices of the bad guys", which is derogatory.
6, 8 Ancient derogatory meanings praise the present: For example, ancient "goodness" refers to paranoia and disobedience, which is derogatory, such as "Lin Daiyu enters Jia Fu": "The behavior is remote and perverse." In modern Chinese, it is used to describe obedient and peaceful people.
