Actually, there are two kinds of barnyard grass. The barnyard grass in paddy field is called barnyard grass, and the barnyard grass in dry field is called dry barnyard grass. Moreover, these two kinds of barnyard grass are not the same plant, and barnyard grass belongs to Gramineae like rice. Therefore, it is generally believed that barnyard grass is the ancestor of rice, which was isolated after long-term cultivation by human beings, but the subtle differences in appearance are enough to confuse most people, even beginners or careless farmers. In our hometown, barnyard grass is called "hairy rice". Long-haired rice without heading is just a faint white mark on the veins. The fruit of hairy rice can also be eaten. Only on the one hand, the yield of raw rice is low, on the other hand, the mixing of rice and raw rice will affect the quality. If there is enough idle wasteland, planting barnyard grass (hairy rice) is also a good harvest. Barnyard grass rice produced in Sichuan is said to be delicious, and people in Hunan regard barnyard grass as the best wine. Especially in the famine season, barnyard grass rice is almost a life-saving treasure.
Barnyard grass is really a weed. The stems are flat, oblique and even flat on the ground. In cultivated farmland, it is harmless because it is not easy to "bully" other tall crops. The biggest harm is that barnyard grass seeds that mature in autumn will be scattered in the ground with the wind, which will cause harm to the next year. You need to spend more time and energy unplugging these barnyard grass. Of course, if there are many barnyard grass, diligent people will break the mature barnyard grass ears, which is a good feed for chickens and ducks in winter and how much food can be saved.
Of course, barnyard grass can also be used as medicine, which is another matter.
After farmers' planting experience gradually entered the literati's field of vision and deepened into an influential thought, barnyard grass, a plant with advantages and disadvantages, evolved into a completely negative image and became the object of condemnation in mainstream thought. The disdain in unofficial history and the condemnation in Ren Zheng are an obvious example. Some successful people even think that barnyard grass is a loser, and trace the origin of the "black sheep" in spoken English to barnyard grass, which shows their resentment. Not only in China culture, but also in the Bible respected by westerners, Jesus also compared the son of heaven to a good seed and the son of evil to barnyard grass, thinking that "when harvesting, I will tell the reaper to pick up the barnyard grass first, tie it up and keep it for burning; Only wheat should be collected in the barn. " There is no such thing as forgiveness. This reminds me of a long-standing misunderstanding of China culture. Most people think that Confucius advocates forgiveness, and his famous saying is "good for good". It was not until I read the Analects of Confucius that I found the original sentence: "or:' How about good for evil?' Confucius said,' How can I repay you? Return evil for good, return good for good. "Confucius didn't feel wronged, including gangsters. This is in line with what Moses, the great savior of the Egyptian people in the Bible, said: "Life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot." This is just like what Jesus said later, "If someone hits you on the right cheek, turn around and hit you on the left cheek;" If someone wants to sue you, he should take your underwear or even your coat. If someone forces you to walk a mile, you can walk two miles with him. Give it to whoever asks you for it; Don't refuse to borrow money from you "Almost the opposite.
It is not surprising that there are contradictions and conflicts in the ideology of the ruling class. A long history is one reason. Although we firmly believe that "the law of ancestors cannot be changed" for a long historical period, some people do shout that "princes will have seeds", and some people advocate that "weather is not enough for fear, ancestors are not law-abiding, and people are not merciful". As for the different ways of thinking, the different strategies of governing the country are all reasons. This is manifested in political history, that is, power struggle, party struggle, line struggle and so on, and history is tortuous.
What's so strange about it? This is the gap between different ideological classes. It's just a barnyard grass. Amazingly, the peasants who belong to the ruled and the literati who belong to the ruler have different views, and the differences are getting bigger and bigger. In the eyes of farmers, barnyard grass has both advantages and disadvantages, and its yield is low, so it can be improved step by step. In the eyes of scholars, even if they are just promoted from farmers, they immediately change their attitudes and abandon them. Why? Have a high eye? Have a high vision and a broad mind, and see the problem more comprehensively! Draw a line with yourself? There is no need to despise your native place to such an extent!
Ideological differences between social classes affect communication between social classes at least and social stability at the maximum. After all, we came from the era of "taking class struggle as the key link". With the development of economy, the differences between classes will gradually become obvious. Different views on barnyard grass remind us of this difference.
