據說,中國帝王的平均壽命不足40年......
您指的是格林兄弟著名的童話故事《壽命的長短》。這個故事透過講述上帝如何賦予動物壽命來解釋人類的壽命。童話故事的寓意是,上帝最初賦予動物和人類相同的壽命,但動物們覺得負擔太重,於是與上帝討價還價,要求縮短壽命。然而,人類卻貪婪地要求剩餘的壽命。因此,人的一生分為四個不同的階段:人類的年齡(青年):前30年是人真正的年齡-青春、健康、快樂的時期。驢子的年齡(成年):接下來的18年都在辛勤工作和承擔重擔中度過。狗狗的年齡(老年):接下來的12年都在角落休息,逐漸老化虛弱。猴的年齡(老年):最後的10年結束了人的一生,使人變得愚鈍而單純。
You are referring to the famous Brothers Grimm fairy tale, "The Duration of Life". It explains human lifespans by telling the story of how God gave animals their years. [1, 2]
The Fairy Tale Concept
In the story, God originally gave animals and humans equal lifespans, but the animals found their burdens too heavy and bargained for shorter lives. Man, however, greedily asked for those leftover years. Because of this, a person's life goes through four distinct stages: [1]
- Human Years (Youth): The first 30 years are a person's true human years—a time of youth, health, and joy.
- Donkey Years (Adulthood): The next 18 years are spent toiling and carrying heavy burdens.
- Dog Years (Senior Age): The following 12 years are spent resting in the corner, growing old and weak.
- Monkey Years (Old Age): The final 10 years conclude the lifespan, leaving a man foolish and simple. [1]
