reading comprehension

Water is known as the "source of life" and has been recognized by the world. Modern industrial society is facing the problem of water shortage, and protecting water resources has become a global topic.

This problem that puzzles people today has also troubled the ancients. In primitive society, one of the most important conditions for human beings from hunting nomads to settling down and engaging in agricultural production is to have water, otherwise it is difficult to survive. Shaanxi, where Zhou people settled, has always been a water-deficient area, and it is necessary to drill wells to get groundwater to ensure production and life, so water is particularly precious. Well Gua is a true portrayal of this situation.

In people's minds at that time, the most important thing was to sacrifice and fight, but for ordinary people, the safety and happiness of life were the most important. They pay attention to food, clothes, housing and transportation, daily necessities, pots and pans. Let's not despise these things proudly. There are no immortals who don't eat whole grains. Kings and nobles are mortal, and the rest are things outside their bodies.

Just as there is no life without water, it is inhuman not to eat fireworks.
