Winter is coming? is the motto of the Stark family in the North in "Game of Thrones". In the winter in the north, when the White Walker army is approaching the city, and the war with humans is about to break out, when the land that used to be peaceful and peaceful begins to pile up endless human bones, then the ancestral motto of the Stark family has been shouted for 8 seasons? The coming of winter has begun to shine into reality. The real winter has finally arrived from the far north, through Hardship, across the Great Wall, and through the Last Hearth.
Because from the beginning of the distant season 1, episode 1, when Ned Stark wanted to take Bran to watch the execution, Caitlin still maintained that he was a child, and Ned responded with seriousness. His expression and tone responded: "He can't be a child forever, let alone winter is coming."
In Liren’s opinion, there is a sentence in the culture passed down by my Chinese ancestors that can equally or even more brilliantly express the above meaning. That is the hexagram "Yi Kun": "The ice is strong when you walk on frost". To put it simply, if you step on frost, you need to know that hard, thick ice is not far away.
It can be said that although the two expressions have roughly the same meaning, the expression of this sentence in our country is slightly richer, that is, to be aware of the subtleties, to be prepared for danger in times of peace, to be born of sorrow, to prepare for rainy days, and to take nip in the bud. And we need to know that this brilliant motto in our country came from more than 2,000 years ago in our real life.
As for the Stark family, the one who has done the best at this point, in Liren's opinion, is Jon Snow, the son of Ned's sister Lyanna. Because before he saw the true form of the White Walkers with his own eyes, he began to seriously plan a response based on Samwell's description, which of course must also include his previous experiences. For example, he personally went to the north of the Great Wall to persuade free people to move south.
After he saw the real White Walkers, he went to Dragonstone as shown in the picture above, deigned to form an alliance with Daenerys, and then risked his own life to lead a team to capture the White Walkers. Cersei and the world believed it and so on. It can be said that his status is very high, and he is very much in the realm of "a great knight serving the country and the people".
The second best person in Proverbs’ family training, in Liren’s opinion, is Erya Arya. Erya is a girl who has suffered a lot, but always carries family hatred and responsibility firmly on her shoulders. Over the years, she has continued to hone herself and break through herself, so that she has the ability to erase the names on the "revenge list".
Compared to Jon, although her pattern is a little smaller, she is equally amazing and equally admirable. For example, at the beginning of S7, she completed her revenge for the "Red Wedding" alone at Frey's house in Luanhe City.
When she spoke domineeringly, telling them that the north will not be forgotten; telling them that winter has arrived and the Frey family is here, we knew that this was just after being fully prepared. of her, a small outburst. Walder Frey was clearly on the verge of frost, but he didn't know or couldn't cope with the "hard ice" coming from Arya.
The one who did the worst was their eldest brother, Robb, the eldest son of the Stark family. If the first two are excellent representatives, then he is a counterexample not worth learning from. In Liren's opinion, ever since Robb was crowned King of the North, or even earlier, he had gradually begun to forget that family motto.
If he knows or remembers that after "walking on frost", there will be "hard ice", or just "winter is coming", then many of his behaviors before attending the red wedding and at the wedding will be different. Adjusted immediately. We saw the way he looked at that night banquet. He thought that everything would be fine after he apologized, and he had already put his heart into his heart. In the end, Caitlin gradually felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and finally found out that Bolton was wearing a "shirt" underneath, so she sounded a warning, but it was too late.
So, after taking stock of these three important characters of the Stark family, it seems that wherever the expression "winter is coming" can be expressed by "Winter is coming", "Winter is coming" can be used instead, such as Erya "The ice has arrived at Frey's house" makes the people on the list tremble when they hear it; but on the contrary, it is somewhat different. Overall, the sentence from my country is more "awesome". In Liren's view, compared with "talking about words", it is of greater significance to understand and truly practice these two sentences in the reality of one's own life.
