1. According to Zhu Guozhen's "Worship Xiao Zhuang" and other books in the Ming Dynasty, during Chen Wunian of Chenghua, a man named Wang Shunan added two words in front of each sentence of this poem, which became: After ten years of long drought, Wan Li met an old friend in another country. On the wedding night of monks, instructors should be the first.
The revised poem "Four Happiness" emphasizes the happiness and joy of a certain number of characters, pushes the meaning of happiness to the extreme, produces humorous new ideas and effects, and makes people clap their hands with laughter.
2. Empty version of "Four Happiness"
According to legend, a scholar failed in the provincial examination, and it was raining lightly on his way home. When staying at a hotel at night, there were waves of suona and firecrackers in the yard next to the store. It turned out that someone in the neighboring hospital was getting married.
In the evening, the scholar couldn't sleep. He remembered Wang Zhu's four blessings poems, and then associated with his own situation and experience. Eight words were added to the four blessings poems, which became: Long drought meets rain, an old friend in another country, and a creditor. Wedding night-dream, be the first-namesake.
Such a change, in sharp contrast, is that the four great pleasures of life mentioned in Wang Zhu's poems have become a kind of empty joy, and the meaning of sadness is quite surprising.

A new interpretation of "four great pleasures of life"
"Long-term drought to meet bosom friends, wedding night, nomination on the gold list" was once considered as the four great happy events in life. For today's China people, the above four happy events seem to be no longer happy events in life.
Now is not the era of scientific research. For today's college students and even graduate students, the pressure to find a job after graduation is still great. Where is the so-called "great joy"? Even if I found a job, I was still busy making money and paying off the school loan. Even if you don't have to repay the loan, you should be busy making money to buy a house and a car ... The carnival of "being the first time" has long been squeezed out by real life.
Speaking of "Wedding Night", in fact, young people nowadays have the mystery and curiosity of the so-called "Wedding Night"! "One-night stand", "trial marriage" and "unmarried cohabitation" have fundamentally subverted the traditional values of marriage and love.
As for the "sweet dew after a long drought", it refers to an expression of the relationship between man and nature in the era of agricultural civilization or the era of relying on the weather, and it is a sad face that can only wait passively. For people living in cities today, the so-called "manna" no longer refers to timely rain falling from the sky, but refers to unpolluted pure water.
Even the only remaining "meeting an old friend in a foreign land" is not necessarily inferior to "new knowledge" for contemporary people with an accelerated pace of life-because it may bring new opportunities. And "old knowledge", in the increasingly utilitarian contemporary life, is just a personal negative asset that can be discarded at any time.
It has been reported recently that there are four new loves in life, one of which is "sleeping until you wake up naturally". For today's office workers, the rigid, fast and heavy pressure of work and life has made many people feel tired. If you can sleep well on weekends, it is already a luxury. If you can "wake up naturally", it is simply a dream.
Compared with the future predicted in "Be the First Time", people nowadays are obviously more realistic and practical, and they are too lazy to wait for the uncertain future after "Be the First Time". In their view, "counting money until your hand cramps" is obviously more direct and practical than "doing it for the first time", and there is no hidden disguise, that is, naked happiness and satisfaction.
