Why do you feel sad about the Year of the Pig and the Year of the Rat?

The Year of the Pig and the Year of the Rat are next to each other. One of them ranks first and the other ranks second. Liu Bowen once said such a puzzling thing. He said, "If you don't pick up the bones nine times, you will worry about the Year of the Pig and the Rat ten times.". Why did Liu Bowen say that? What does the sadness of the Year of the Pig and the Year of the Rat mean? Does this prediction mean anything to us modern people? Let's see where this sentence about the Year of the Pig and the Year of the Rat comes from.

Liu Bowen was a famous politician and writer in Ming Dynasty. He is brilliant and capable of becoming a prophet. Liu Bowen is full of talent, but also has the ability to predict the future. Liu Bowen once said many unexpected words, and the famous "Ten Sorrow in the Year of Pig and Rat" actually came from Liu Bowen's "Saving the Robber's Inscription".

Liu Bowen's article deals with many natural disasters, including drought, flood, famine and plague. In a word, it is a negative prediction of human life in the future, and most of the predictions are all kinds of disasters. Among them, Liu Bowen also mentioned the "Ten Worries" that people will face. One is worried about chaos in the world, another is worried about lack of food, the third is worried about disasters in Shanghai and Guangzhou, the fourth is worried about wars everywhere, and the seventh is worried about lack of food and clothes. The last nine worries and ten worries are what we mentioned at the beginning. No one picks up bones, which is the sorrow of the Year of the Pig and the Year of the Rat.

Liu Bowen's remarks made many people panic. Of course, his prediction is not aimed at our present life. From God's point of view, the inscription he wrote to save the robbers is meaningful. What he wants to express in this inscription is probably telling people to cultivate self-cultivation and start from the heart. "Those who do good can be insured, and those who do evil can't escape. Respect heaven and earth, respect gods, respect parents, cherish calligraphy and cherish grains. Please remember.

Although some memorable events happened in the Year of the Pig or the Year of the Rat in history, the society is developing and changing. The next year of the rat is definitely different from the last year of the rat, and we will not repeat the mistakes of the ancients.
