This sentence comes from the fifth time of Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions in Qing Dynasty. It means that people should not be poor all their lives in their later years.

When people are old and exhausted, they can't do anything, and their ability to resist external hardships is greatly weakened. If they suffer from poverty again at this time, they will suffer mentally and physically. This sentence can be used to show that it is unfortunate to be poor in old age, and it can also be used to show that they can't do nothing or waste pleasure when they are young, so they will be poor when they are old.

2, glory is easy to do, you need to take a step back and come out.

This sentence comes from the eighty-sixth chapter of Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions in Qing Dynasty. It means that wealth and splendor are easy to disappear, and you must leave as soon as possible.

The world is cold, the honor and disgrace are impermanent, and it is difficult to last long. Smart people should play it by ear as soon as possible and jump out of this circle before the glory disappears. When the glory is gone forever, embarrassment and shame will inevitably come, and it will be too late to get out. This phenomenon is particularly common in fickle feudal society. These two sentences are mostly used to persuade people not to be greedy.

3. It's true when it's false, it's true and false, and it's nothing.

This sentence comes from the first time in Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions. It means that if the fake is true, then the fake is also fake; If it is nothing, then it is nothing.

These two sentences tell the relative truth between things: truth and falsehood are not the same, but if falsehood is true, then truth has blurred its value, making it impossible to distinguish between true and false. It is precisely because of this phenomenon in society that what is false is true and black and white are indistinguishable, so these two sentences are representative.

When you see strange and unusual things, if you feel panic and fear, you must not know how to deal with them. You can't handle what you could have handled. On the contrary, if you are normal, calm and calm, you will take correct measures and find reasonable ways to make the strangeness disappear slowly.

Either the east wind overrides the west wind, or the west wind overrides the east wind.

This sentence comes from the eighty-second chapter of Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions. These are two famous sayings of Wang Xifeng in A Dream of Red Mansions.

6. Toad wants to eat swan meat.

This sentence comes from the eleventh time in Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions.
