Let's start with the first one. There is always rain after a long drought, that is, it suddenly rains after a long drought Artificial rainfall was not mastered in ancient times. Therefore, if there is a drought, people can only pray for God's blessing. Whether ancient or modern, long-term drought is a very serious disaster. For example, if there is a drought in this place, the grain output will definitely decrease, and not only that, it may also lead to a large number of biological deaths, and after biological deaths, it is easy to produce plagues. It never rains but it pours.
If you live in a dry place, then what you want most may be rain. I remember that one summer was very hot, and then the village where I lived was cut off from water. Even the well water is half, let alone tap water, and there is no way to flow home. At that time, what I longed for most was rain. This year is better, tap water is limited, and water can be used at night. Life without water is really unbearable. Because of these experiences, I agree that "a long drought meets rain" is one of the four great pleasures in life.
The second is to meet an old friend in another country, that is, to meet people from the same place in a strange place. When you grow up, you will find that the world is very big, not such a small area where we live.
When I was young, I felt that the town was the biggest place. When I got there, I went to a wider place. You may go from the north to the south, or from the south to the north. The customs and habits of these places will be very different from those where you live. You will miss the food and people in your hometown. Don't say that you met your relatives in a strange place, even if you meet people from the same place, you will be very excited. "When a fellow villager sees a fellow villager, his eyes are full of tears." This sentence is also from this. In a strange land, when you meet people and things familiar with your hometown, you will be happy from the heart.
The third is whenno. 1, just like being a civil servant, but much happier than being a civil servant. In ancient times, if you wanted to be an official, you had to take the imperial examination. The person with the best score is the champion. In addition to the top scholar, there are other second-ranked Jinshi, as well as fellow Jinshi. These people can also be officials when they come out. If you took the imperial examination in ancient times and became the top scholar, congratulations, your next life is likely to be very smooth. It is impossible to say unhappy.
The last one is the wedding night, that is, marrying the one you love. Isn't it a very happy thing? You can spend the rest of your life with her.
The above is the meaning of "after a long drought and rain, an old friend meets a foreign country, and we should do it for the first time on our wedding night". In contrast, there are four tragedies in life. "The widow cried with her children, and the general was captured by the enemy and ungrateful to the maid-in-waiting." Life is impermanent in sadness and joy. It is through the trough (sadness) that we are so happy when we reach the peak (happiness). These "four joys" and "four sorrows" may be a bit out of date, and our life is not only happy after realizing these four joys. After all, such a happy event as being the first belongs to a few people. For people like me, with books to read and food to eat, this simple life can make me feel happy. I believe that everyone's four joys in life are unique and not limited to this.
