Bread, a common food, however, when we savor it carefully, we can get a profound philosophy of life from it. The production process from flour to bread is like an experience of life, full of challenges and opportunities, which deserves our deep thought.
To make bread, first of all, we need to select high-quality flour. Just like the starting point of life, we can't choose our origins, but we can improve our quality through continuous efforts. Throughout the ages, many people who were born in poverty, relying on their own diligence and talent, finally achieved great things. Kuang Heng, a famous minister in the Western Han Dynasty, was born in a poor family and could not even afford lamp oil. However, he stole light from the wall and studied hard, eventually becoming a famous figure. High-quality flour is the basis of making delicious bread, and good quality is the premise of achieving a wonderful life.
Next, the flour needs to be stirred with water to form dough. In this process, the addition of water makes the originally loose flour coagulate together. In life, we also need all kinds of "water" to unite ourselves. Affection, friendship and love, like water, connect us closely with others and make us no longer lonely on the road of life. Confucius said, "In a threesome, there must be a teacher." Mutual learning and support between friends can make us make continuous progress. At the same time, the warmth of family is also the driving force for us to move forward. No matter when and where, the care of family members can give us courage and strength.
Kneading is the key to making bread. Kneading requires hard work, and through repeated kneading, the dough becomes stronger. The same is true of life. Only through the baptism of setbacks and hardships can we become stronger. "The sword front comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold." After being imprisoned, Sima Qian put up with humiliation and wrote a book in anger, and finally completed the Historical Records, which is known as "the swan song of historians and the rhyme Li Sao". Beethoven was deaf in both ears, but he still insisted on writing and wrote many immortal movements. All these great people constantly honed themselves in difficulties and finally achieved brilliant lives.
Fermentation makes the dough swell and gives the bread a soft taste. Life also needs the process of "fermentation", which is accumulation and precipitation. On the road of pursuing our dreams, we should be down-to-earth and accumulate knowledge and experience. Only after a long period of precipitation can we accumulate wealth and realize our own life value. In order to write a good poem, Jia Dao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, repeatedly deliberated, "Two sentences take three years, and one song brings two tears". It is this persistent pursuit and long-term accumulation of poetry that makes his poems spread through the ages.
Finally, after baking, the bread gives off an attractive aroma. Life also needs to go through "baking", which can be understood as the test of life. In the face of difficulties and challenges, we should bravely meet and stick to our beliefs. Only after the test can we really mature and realize the sublimation of life. Su Wu went to the Huns and was detained in Beihai for 19 years as a shepherd. He was thirsty for snow and hungry for blankets, but he always adhered to his loyalty to the Han Dynasty and finally returned to the motherland. His story inspires future generations to persevere and stick to their beliefs in the face of difficulties.
The process of making bread contains the true meaning of life. From flour to bread, from ordinary to delicious, it takes many efforts. The same is true of life. At all stages of life, we should constantly improve our quality, gather strength, endure tempering, accumulate precipitation and bravely meet the test. Only in this way can we create our own splendor and taste real happiness on the road of life.
Let's take bread as our teacher, feel every process of life with our heart, and write our own brilliant chapter with our actions.
