"Heirloom" in the end what is the inheritance?

Talking about heirlooms,

When I was a kid, I watched TV dramas,

in which a heirloom was pulled out without moving,

After I grew up,

It was only then that I gradually understood

that this small object was given a deep meaning.

The significance of heirloom

To say heirloom, we have to start from its name, this short three words actually contains everything. There are thousands of heirlooms, but the meaning of these three words never changes.

Transmission

Transmission means to pass on, to pass on,

that is, from one generation to another,

grandfather to son,

son to grandson.

The word "pass" is the sediment of time,

represents that the heirloom must have a historical background.

If you haven't passed it down from one generation to the next,

no matter how precious it is,

it can't be called an heirloom,

it's a treasure at best.

As the years go by,

passed down from one generation to the next,

things become more and more valuable,

connotations and connotations are increasingly deep.

Just like the development of human civilization,

from slash-and-burn farming to mobile Internet,

what can be passed down and continue to play a role in the value,

must be the most precious part of the material culture.

Family

"Family" refers to the emotions and spirit of the family,

and the history of a family

is reflected in this special treasure.

In ancient times, even the lowest commoner family

would have a family heirloom.

People like heirlooms so much,

because it witnesses the glory and disgrace of a family,

sends the feelings of the family's forefathers,

reflects the connotation and temperament of a family.

The preciousness of family heirlooms,

is in the process of passing them down from generation to generation,

and some of the things they have experienced.

It carries the family story,

witnesses to the rise and fall of the family,

through which the civilization and cultivation of a family is passed down from one generation to the next.

Not only does it pay homage to the memory of the predecessors,

but also to the spirit and spirit of the family's ancestors.

The family heirlooms are also the most precious of all family heirlooms. remembrance,

as well as a guide for future generations.

Bao

The word for family heirloom, "Bao",

is even more interesting.

Whether it is jade, gold or silver,

or calligraphy or painting,

Must have a certain value,

To be able to afford the "heirloom".

But the value of this thing is not one-sided,

I think it is worthless,

but in your eyes may be worth a thousand dollars.

Some people think that an heirloom,

has to have a balance of sentimental value,

artistic value and preservation of value.

For a family,

an heirloom should mean much more than its actual value.

For example, some family mottos are heirlooms,

which in a subtle way

shape the thinking and behavior of the descendants, and

have the most profound influence on the children and grandchildren.

Today we have more wealth,

but we have forgotten that our own family's fine tradition

and spiritual civilization is the most precious treasure.

There is an old Chinese saying that "seeing things makes you think of people."

Through each "heirloom,"

you can travel back in time to a past that you have never experienced before.

This kind of travelling is a way of thinking about the past.

The era of impatience and change,

There are too many changes around us,

but the witness of history is for us to remember.

As a family heirloom,

it has been passed down

as a spiritual treasure that has been passed down from one family to another,

and it is the carrier of the family culture.
