Old people often say, "Men don't go to Sichuan, women don't go to Tibet, and old people don't go to Guangzhou." Do you know why?

After a long period of development, our Chinese culture has also shown the characteristics of being broad, profound and long-established. Our culture also develops differently across the country, and even derives some famous sayings. I wonder if you have heard of such a famous saying? That is "If you are young, you will not enter Sichuan, and if you are old, you will not leave Shu."

In fact, what this sentence means is that Sichuan is a land of abundance and a gentle town. In addition to all kinds of eating, drinking and having fun, you can also enjoy the feeling of beautiful women. And young people must have high ambitions. If you enter Sichuan, the land of abundance, early, then if you are a person with a weak will, you will never want to leave here, and all your ambitions and pride will be thrown away by you. back. In this way, after you have passed your youth, you will no longer achieve anything in the future.

With the passage of time and the development of the times, this sentence has evolved into a new meaning, and it has gradually spread to "men are not allowed to enter Sichuan, women are not allowed to enter Tibet, and old people are not allowed to enter Guangzhou". ." Maybe you can't understand it, so today we will tell you the reason.

1. Men are not allowed to enter Sichuan

Why do you say that men are not allowed to enter Sichuan? The ancients also had their reasons for saying this. First of all, entering the land of Sichuan and Shu is a very difficult process. The road to Shu is really difficult to walk. Once you make the slightest mistake, your name will be ruined. I believe everyone knows Li Bai's "The Difficult Road to Shu", right? The sentence "The road to Shu is more difficult than climbing to the sky" can help us understand the difficulty of entering the land of Sichuan and Shu.

Even if you are strong, you must be careful when encountering natural dangers like Shu Road. If you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss and there is absolutely no chance of escape. Yes, then you can only be a lonely ghost. People often say that Sichuan and Shu are places that are easy to defend but difficult to attack. Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period also used Sichuan and Shu as his base.

So the first reason is because the road is difficult, what is the second reason? The answer is that the scenery in Sichuan is really beautiful, and there are many beauties here. If you live here for a long time, then even if you have great ambitions, I believe they will be wiped out.

Think about it, you risked your life and entered Sichuan. It feels like a person who is about to starve to death suddenly sees food. When you slowly explore this place, you will feel like this. It is a paradise. Here, you can find beautiful scenery, beauties, delicious food and everything you want.

Of course, in modern times, the dilemma of the Shu Road no longer exists. Nowadays, whether you are entering or exiting, you can only feel the smoothness of the river, and Sichuan's unique advantages are attracting more and more people to come here. Whether it is for sightseeing or building a career, the reasons why men do not enter Sichuan have disappeared early. But Sichuan is still very attractive now. Chengdu a few years ago made people have a sharper impression of Sichuan. It is indeed a good place to raise people. I think the old saying "men should not enter Sichuan" should also be changed. For a moment.

2. Women are not allowed to enter Tibet

If we say that one of the reasons why men are not allowed to enter Sichuan is because of inconvenient transportation, then I think the same applies to women not being allowed to enter Tibet. Compared with the Shu Road, I think it is more difficult to enter Tibet. Even now, it will still be difficult if you are not fully prepared. Even men sometimes can't stand the environment there, let alone let women go there when technology was not developed in ancient times.

As the highest altitude area in the world, Tibet has very thin air and a very harsh climate, which is particularly prone to altitude sickness. Even when we go there now, we still have to carry oxygen. In ancient times, Tibet was a restricted area for people from the Central Plains. Few people would go to Tibet as a last resort.

We all should know that Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty married far away to Tibet and lived a good life, but all we see is the good side. Many people in later generations want to imitate Wencheng. Princess, but what's the result? Most of them end in tragedy.

It is indeed full of danger for women to enter Tibet. First of all, the ultraviolet rays in Tibet are particularly strong, and after a long period of exposure to the sun, a woman's skin will become rough and dark. If this happens for a long time, it will not recover. Secondly, there are many inconveniences in life there. For example, going to the toilet there is a very troublesome thing for women. I think going to the toilet there is also a challenge for women.

There is some truth in the saying "women are not allowed to enter Tibet". For girls, if they are not fully prepared, it is better not to go to Tibet in a hurry.

3. Old people cannot enter Guangzhou

The Guangzhou mentioned in "Old people cannot enter Guangzhou" actually refers to the Lingnan area, including our current Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, and Fujian some areas. In ancient times, this was not a good place. At that time, this was a barbarian land with a lot of poisonous insects and miasma. Many outsiders who came here would die due to the climate and environment.

Because of the special climate here, many prisoners were exiled here in ancient times. Probably most people were tortured to death on the way, and even those who got here would die quickly due to various discomforts. For the ancients, entering the Guangdong and Guangxi regions was also a disaster.

There are many famous people who were exiled here. Su Dongpo was exiled here many times, so he also left many famous poems here, which also gives us a deeper understanding of this place. But getting back to the subject, the reason why it is said that "old people are not allowed to enter Guangzhou" is because the economy here is backward, there are many poisonous rats and poisonous insects, and there are many bandits. People are also full of fear of this place. This is also the reason why "old people are not allowed to enter Guangzhou". One of the reasons.

It can be said that most of the current Guangdong and Guangxi regions have become economically developed regions. There is no need to worry about the lack of economic backwardness and scarcity of materials. However, the Guangdong and Guangxi areas are still not suitable for the elderly, because many young people come here to make a living. The pace of life here has also become faster, and the elderly will also have a certain amount of pressure living here, so there is also a saying that "the elderly cannot enter Guangzhou".

Conclusion: Our country’s traditional culture is worthy of our vigorous promotion, and those ancient precepts can still provide us with guidance even today. Although our current society is already an intelligent society, the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated. If we can learn more about our country's traditional culture, I believe it will be very helpful to ourselves and our future path!
