2022年10月11日

 

Legend goes that there was no fire on Earth, and human life was very difficult at that time. There was no fire to cook , so we had to eat raw food, and there was no fire to light us, so we had to spend long nights in the endless darkness...

Zeus, the king of the gods, agreed to give the fire to the humans, but he demanded that they sacrifice it with an ox. Prometheus had a brilliant idea. When Prometheus offered the sacrifice to Zeus, the ox he gave to Zeus was divided into two parts: the first part was raw beef, but no hide; The second part is the skin wrapped around the bones, but covered with fragrant butter. Zeus read between the lines of Prometheus at a glance and said angrily, "I refuse to give man the most important thing of all, that is fire!"

Prometheus, in order to benefit mankind, risked his life to steal a flame from Apollo. This flame brings wisdom and civilization to mankind.



Fire, not only can cook food, it can also light up the night. So, fire actually symbolizes wisdom and civilization. In the East, people who are full of wisdom are called "wise men" and use the image of light. The West has compared the long period of cultural underdevelopment of the Middle Ages to the Dark Ages, the famous Cultural Revolution of the 18th century, translated from the French to the meaning of illumination.

Zeus did not give fire to human beings, means that he wants human beings to always sink in the darkness of stupidity, never give people knowledge and light, if human beings have no knowledge, no wisdom, then they will never be able to resist the rule of the gods, Prometheus stole the fire of the divine world to the earth.



Fire, which makes human beings the spirit of all things, represents wisdom and civilization, and is also the significance of the origin of this all-brass torch wall lamp.
