Sub-argument of saving food

The reasons for saving food are as follows:

I. Sub-argument 1

Cherishing food is a sign of respecting nature. The Chinese nation has had the idea of harmony between man and nature since ancient times. Facing nature, China people have a sense of awe and closeness, and regard heaven and earth as their parents, which is a very high survival wisdom. The ancients said: "The size of heaven and earth is called life." Nature has endowed human beings with material conditions to thrive, and farming civilization has given birth to the Chinese nation, which is constantly striving for self-improvement.

However, the total resources of the earth are limited. If excessive demand and waste of resources, it will inevitably destroy the foundation of human survival. Only by adhering to the harmony between man and nature can human beings develop sustainably. China is a country with frequent natural disasters. If you can't be prepared for danger in times of peace, you will inevitably have worries. Only by not forgetting the famine of the year and cherishing every grain can we be prepared and unhurried.

Second, argument two.

Cherishing food is the embodiment of respecting labor. People grow grain, and food supports people. A seed, after growing in spring, growing in summer, harvesting in autumn and storing in winter, finally becomes food rations. Any link needs hard work and sweat. "It was noon on the day of weeding, and sweat dripped down the soil" is a true portrayal of farmers' hard work.

Diligence is the excellent quality of the Chinese nation; Thrift is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Diligence makes China people "grain by grain"; Frugality makes people in China "not have enough to eat". Today, although we bid farewell to the history of food shortage, even if there is a bumper harvest every year, we can't spoil food at will. Cherishing food means cherishing manpower and respecting labor.

Three. Sub-argument 3

Cherishing food is the embodiment of a good family style. Frugality and housekeeping have always been the traditional virtue of China people. Cherishing food means cherishing happiness. A family, no matter how rich it is, can't spoil food. "Who knows that every grain of Chinese food is hard?" The ancients often regarded the dining table as a classroom for educating children and inheriting family style. One porridge and one meal is the most vivid teaching material.

When parents often pick up the rice dropped on the table and put it in the bowl, the child's heart will gradually rise in awe of food, thus forming the habit of saving food. A good family style has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a valuable spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation.
