豬年談 ”豬” 事


新的一年”豬”年剛剛開始, 而中國的陰曆新年亦即將來臨.

市面上有關 “豬” 的物品比比皆是. 例如: 新年裝飾物, 趣致的毛公仔..
而報張或者網絡的小篇幅亦有談及豬的種種事情. 好像關於豬的俗語:
往往那些貶儀的俗語多於褒揚/誇耀居多.

中國人常常用動物來形容人, 很多都是含沙射影. 正如今年是豬年, 讓我們說些豬的中国俗語:

時下流行稱呼那些面上有皺紋的中年女人為豬扒.
比喻下等的人---
豬狗不如
罵人愚昧 --- 豬那麼愚蠢
表示少見多怪, 或因見識淺薄而羞愧 ---
遼東之豬
比喻見識再少也會懂的一些 ----
沒吃過豬肉, 也見過豬跑.
形容只能一起玩樂, 不能共患難的朋友 --- 豬朋狗友

到底”豬”的本性是不是那麼可悲?

我就不完全認同了. 在現實生活中, 豬是很有營養價值的. 正如豬肉是日常要吃的主要食糧, 也可用來煮湯, 豬扒可作燒烤,
每逢有喜宴 (結婚晚宴, 新年團年晚宴…)中, 第一道主菜不是一隻乳豬先出場嗎.

在傳統的文化中, 豬是家中之寶, 像征財富, 代表如意吉祥. 殺豬祭灶神來祈求如意,五穀豐收, 人畜興旺.

你看, 在下面相片中的豬家庭是多麼的可愛和和睦相處.



真的不明白為何人類會將豬形容的那麼低劣??????

A Speical JP Map Card and Gift from Jakarta

A very SPECIAL New Year greeting card sent from my Japanese colleague.
How commercial and educational card to promote Sights, Tastes and Toys of Regional JP.

Um..um... now I could found MM and PandaB are living in the no.15 area there.


After opening those flaps, you can see some interesting pictures and learn a bit simple Japanese as well. I like no.9 Kokeshi (doll) and no.24 – takoyaki (but I don’t know what it is)

An Indonesian Bookmark: (From Selba , thank YOU ^_^)

It is not just a little bookmark that simple, at least I learnt those beautiful puppets are all handmade in Ancient City of Yogyajakarta in Central Java. The Puppets date from when Java was a Hindu Kingdom and the puppets are used to retell the epic Indian Ramayana. Originally the story in which the demon king Ramana seized Sita the beautiful wife of Rama was set in Southern India. However Javanese Hinduism transplaced all the events to occur within Java. Now Java is Muslim, the whole court of Java escaped to neighbor Bali where Hinduism still flourishes.
