As we live in the post-information age, we enjoy the convenience brought about by material things. Surrounded by such senses, we will think that the whole world is in a lifestyle similar to ours.
There is a group of people in the United States who don't use electricity, that is, they don't have household appliances in their homes, and they don't even have electric lights. I don’t use a car at home (you can’t buy it if you have money), you don’t use the phone, and the shops are closed on weekends. Most importantly, they do not pay taxes to the U.S. government and do not participate in the U.S. recruitment.
This group of people is called Amish. Their lives are like a peach blossom garden. They were one of the first European colonists in North America. Their way of life fully retains the way of life and state in the early days of American colonization. A small farmer economy, a person with a major surname lives in a village. They also do not hold slaves and engage in large-scale farming economies. They live peacefully with the aborigines. Before the founding of the United States, they began colonial life in the Americas.
I noticed that this should start with an apple pie.
The apple pie made by Amish has a strong cinnamon flavor, and their habit of using spices should come from European influences.
The Germans will add a lot of cinnamon as a spice to their desserts, and the language spoken by the Amish people is German in the German-speaking area of Switzerland. I don't know if there is any connection between these.
Under the system of the smallholder economy, they will sell some of their own crops and sideline food. They believe in God, and they have their own understanding of the will of Christ Jesus. Their clothes and lifestyle are very simple. If you see them, you will experience the breath of the original colonial culture. Amish can be said to be the living fossil of the first European colonists.
Someone Amway made a movie "witness" about an Amish boy who happened to see a murder when he entered the city for the first time. Some stories happened when the police were investigating the case and the boy’s family lived in the village of the Amish people.
With the help of the lens perspective, the Amish people we see will feel unique in their views on some things.
At the beginning of the movie, the heroine's father-in-law told the heroine to be careful of those British people when going out. The background of the film is the 1980s in the United States. At that time, the United States had been founded for 200 years. But in the eyes of the Amish people, they are still English instead of American.
After the police found the boy as the only witness, they took the boy and the boy's mother to the police station. The little boy’s mother said to the police, "Your law has nothing to do with us."
The Amish family set up a barn, and the whole village came back to help. Men are the main labor force, women will help with cooking together, and children will help nail nails with hammers. The original colonists should also help each other to be able to live on the new continent.
There is a discussion of buttons in the movie. The Amish people don't use buttons, they all use cloth straps to tie their clothes. In the movie, the buttons are not unpretentious enough. This idea can be said to run through the thinking of the Amish people. This is also their understanding of matter.
Double Eleven is coming, buying, buying and buying is already rooted in the hearts of the public. Amish people's understanding of matter may be a little extreme, too much rejection of modern things. But from another point of view, it is also a kind of reference. Material originally serves people.
