Because the ancient rich women grew up in a superior environment, they often knew everything, while the rich boys often ate, drank and had fun, making it difficult to achieve great things. So in ancient times, rich children who were not gifted scholars were also called "dude".
This sentence was used by later generations to solve the problem of children's education, which extended to the meaning of "girls should be rich and boys should be poor" At present, many parents in China have followed this view of education.
But in fact, what the poor and the rich say should not be more or less material, good or bad, but quality education and spiritual education. "Enrichment" is to broaden children's horizons and cultivate children's sentiments; "Poor support" refers to exercising children's will more, rather than doting or spoiling children.
Extended data:
There is an old saying in China that "there are never many rich wives, but handsome men are rare since ancient times". This old saying may be the earliest record of the concept of "raising children in poverty and raising women in wealth". Today, this educational concept is still practiced by countless parents and criticized by many people.
Poor support and rich support can be divided into two aspects, one is spiritual and the other is material. Children of the poor and the rich often compare in knowledge, character and talent.
In fact, the concept of helping the poor and the rich should have been eliminated a long time ago, because the family's economic conditions are different, the parents' horizons are different, and the environmental stance is different. There is no comparability between the two.
