Hermit crabs are mainly found on the coastal edges of the Yellow Sea and southern seas. They generally live on beaches and rock crevices by the sea. inside. Hermit crabs use snail shells and shells as hosts. They usually crawl around in their shells. When frightened, they will immediately retract their bodies into the snail shell. As the crab body gradually grows, the hermit crab will look for a new shell to change its shell. There are dozens of known species of hermit crabs. The more common species along the coast of my country are the square-brachial hermit crab and the ctenophyll hermit crab.

The importance of boxes

As small hermit animals, cute hermit crabs have their boxes. They carry pieces of conch shells on their backs, following their primitive habitation instinct in a unique way. The significance of the box is that it is a shelter for the continuation of life. And we humans have long extended the purpose of finding a nest and a home from the level of physical safety to the level of the soul. The word "sojourn", in human beings, also has an additional appeal related to spiritual safety. Of course, both are instinctive.

In primitive society, the history of human growth was a hand-to-hand battle with nature. It can be said that from the day humans learned to hide and disguise, they have had the need to seek stability and peace. Living means first and foremost stability. With the development and migration of human beings, this need has appeared in social life in more diverse ways. People have begun to try to build various small environments. In those "boxes" with different styles and shapes, what do people really want to do? What are you looking for?

In modern cities, "boxes" have been endowed with more and more social significance, transcending physiological and safety needs and reflecting social cognition. Here, a stable residence represents, first of all, a kind of identity recognition. As a non-blind immigrant, this gives you a basis for friendship and a sense of belonging to the group. The second is self-awareness. What kind of "box" represents what kind of self. People are eager to express their unique self and gain respect from others through their own efforts to realize their life dreams.

The box and the "migration" of life

As the crab body gradually grows, the hermit crab will look for a new shell to change its shell. We call this behavior migration . This behavior is the same as migratory birds migrating south, and it is life for the animals themselves. Human beings also begin to grow up and seek the meaning of life from the moment they are born. And life is actually a "migration" journey, but the length is different.

Word 1, growth. In this sense, "infancy" is the first "box" in our life. Starting from independent life, the house has entered our lives as the most important "box". Most modern young people have had the experience of renting out a house. From a humble house that could only be used as a shelter from the wind, to a hut with a few appliances, to a decent family of two, we began to experience the changes in personnel. The body tastes growth. From renting to buying a house to purchasing a house, our needs are growing day by day.

Word 1, work.

It has always been a rule that the house follows the work. After the "lifetime employment system" was broken, the flexibility of recruitment greatly increased the chance of "vacating the cage and changing the bird". Within a year after Xiaojun graduated, he had a lot of trouble with himself. He changed his job five times and his place three times. "I change jobs because I want to realize my ideals and my lifestyle will change here. If I become interested in a certain job, I will try it. It is unimaginable for me to stay in one place forever. I like to move. The feeling, from one place to another, from one living state to another. "The reason for everything is just "I like it".

Word two, mentality. And generally those who have a small career and a small amount of money, generally those who are famous, a little old, and have a small amount of money, will be struggling to move, just like hermit crabs who are constantly looking for bigger conch shells, always needing to change. Comfortable. What are they asking for? For them, changing houses to get more is a mentality. Those who are successful in their careers need to prove that they need a little age to gain stability, while those who have little leisure time will choose the opportunity for a little hope of happiness. Their requirements are diverse, some are "comfortable and simple", some are "high-end and luxurious", some focus on practicality, and some are more willing to enjoy it. In their view, the "box" is a necessity and a symbol of life.

The Box and the Sweet Dream "Life"

When it comes to sex, we can easily think of rhinoceros and waterfowl. In biology, any two creatures living together are mutually beneficial. The situation of ***birth is called ***birth. The shells carried by hermit crabs are actually good hard substrates for benthic organisms, which makes many cnidarians, especially sea anemones and hydroids, happy to live in them. It's hard to imagine that one shell can make them all have the same dream.

Isn’t this what houses talk about to humans? I will think of my shared life. At that time, you were a smug young man like me. Our career was born with us, and our ideals and future were also lurking there. Our landlord is a guy who loves money and is also charitable, because he has walked the same path as us. In addition, the hard work of property management and cleaning staff, as well as the owners' committee, water and electricity suppliers, and of course Niu B's builders, developers, bank ladies, beautiful real estate consultants... too many streets and houses Related, a large number of people related to housing.

I always realize more and more deeply that in our lives, "houses" are building urban links in a gentle way, and what they bring to us is not just individual. The appeal has expanded into a network of the entire society. There is life and dreams in this network.

There is a soft-bodied crab called a hermit crab. It must constantly look for new snail shells as its body grows. What they pursue all their lives is a strong shell that suits them. A solid life. A solid dream.
