Excerpt from the original:
The poor live in downtown areas, but the rich have distant relatives in the mountains. Who says there's nothing behind, and who says there's nothing ahead? Money to tell the truth, no money to tell lies. Don't believe me, but look at the wine on the banquet, first persuade the rich.
Translation:
When the family is poor, no one cares if they live in downtown. If you have money at home, even if you live in the mountains, distant relatives will come to visit you. Some people will talk about everyone behind their backs, and everyone will talk about others behind their backs. Some people believe what the rich say, but others don't believe what the poor say. If you go to the party, everyone will propose a toast to people with money and status.

Brief introduction to the content of Augmented Tribute;
The contents of augmented sages are roughly as follows: 1. Talking about people and interpersonal relationships; Second, talk about fate; Third, talk about how to live in the world; Fourth, express your views on reading. In the world described by augmented sages, people are hypocritical. People are fickle for their own selfish interests and love the poor and the rich, which makes the world full of traps and crises.
In the article, a lot of emphasis is placed on fate and retribution, and it is believed that everything in a person is arranged by fate, and people have to do good things to have a good chance. Augmented sages have a lot of space to describe how to treat people, which is the core of the full text. There are many descriptions of tolerance in this paper, and it is considered that tolerance is the way to eliminate troubles and sins.
While advocating self-protection, caution and tolerance, it also emphasizes people's subjective initiative, which is considered as the principle of doing things. There is no lack of persuasion in the article that "it is indispensable to harm others and to prevent others".
Zengguang Xianwen emphasizes the importance of reading and the value of filial piety, which embodies the orthodox Confucian spirit. But it is precisely because of this complexity that people with different ideas can see their own proverbs and aphorisms, which are widely representative.
