China has a history of thousands of years. I don’t know how many spring and autumn years have passed, and many cultural customs, ancient poems, and world heritage have been handed down from ancient times. It is precisely because of these ancient cultural heritages that we have a different understanding of history. Historical records have evolved into today's ancient TV dramas, giving us a new understanding of the long history through self-media.

There are many historical figures whose spirits are worth learning and carrying forward. History is very close to our lives, just like in our daily life we ??often quote common sayings passed down from ancient times. These common sayings vividly reflect the wisdom of the ancients.

Why some proverbs can be passed down through the ages, while others are never known, is because these proverbs are vivid and interesting, close to reality, and can often be substituted for what is happening now.

There are many types of colloquial sayings, some are used when joking, and some are used when mocking people. Different artistic conceptions have different colloquial sayings to express. From here we can see that some spiritual qualities are constantly flowing. There are many things in ancient times that are worthy of our study and reference.

A saying that exposes human nature

Today I will share with you a classic story that reveals social reality. This story comes from a sentence: "When you are full and warm, you think about lust." This sentence is It comes from a classic saying in "The Complete Biography of Da Hong Pao". This book is highly recommended and worth reading. The structure of the novel is clear and the plot is very distinctive. From it, you can learn a lot of life philosophy.

The meaning of the phrase "when you are full and warm, you think about lust" is easy to understand. It means that human beings' food and clothing have been well solved, and they no longer have to worry about the trivial things in life, and they have enough food and clothing. Satisfied, but human beings are animals that are not satisfied with the status quo. When one aspect is relieved, they will want more in other aspects.

After food and clothing are satisfied, you will then want to fill up on the spiritual side. The spiritual side refers to obscene things. This proverb directly reveals the human nature and the most primitive thoughts of human beings today.

However, with the continuous development of society and the introduction of new culture, the moral quality of modern humans has reached a very high level, but there are also some people with backward ideas who have this idea.

In the beginning, people were kind. As they slowly experienced the cruelty and dangers of the world, everyone's beliefs will change, they will gradually lose themselves, and their kind nature will slowly disappear.

The second half of the sentence "when you are full and warm, you think about lust" is even more warning. This second half of the sentence is "hunger and cold make you steal your heart". This second half of the sentence will be better understood than the first half. It means that when people are poor or at a low point, they will become thief in order to get the slightest satisfaction, and want to use sneaky ways to alleviate the current predicament. This kind of getting something for nothing is not advisable. It will not only go astray, but also make people miserable. His life was stained.

There is an allusion behind this sentence. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a wealthy family named Chen who got a daughter in old age. This family treated their daughter as the apple of their eye and practiced music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. , Miss Chen's family is very up-to-date and a truly talented girl. She has not yet started a family until she reaches the age of marriage. After discussion, she decided to hold a couplet to recruit brides. If anyone can match her daughter's second couplet, she will marry her to him. .

After the news was released, it attracted many talented people, all of whom were eager to try it. The first couplet given by Miss Chen’s family is the superficial meaning of the sentence "full and warm, thinking about lust", and the full and warm will be satisfied. After that, I started to think about obscene things. On a deeper level, I wanted to express myself. I was satisfied materially, but felt empty spiritually.

After a while, a young man added the first couplet: "Hunger and cold steal the heart." What the man wanted to express was that people in a hungry and poor environment will have bad thoughts and think about getting something for nothing. , directly exposes the ugliness of human nature, as well as the most primitive desires and thoughts in human hearts.

This set of sayings can be said to be very realistic and direct. After Miss Chen knew about it, she thought that this man was the right person for her, and finally Miss Chen married this man.

Remember not to go astray

There are many famous sayings in ancient times that warn us people. These have been passed down from generation to generation in order for us to learn more good moral qualities and have good moral character. Examples exist to make people better aware of their mistakes.

Don’t go astray. People will inevitably do some stupid things in life, but some things are difficult to undo, and may even make people hate them for a lifetime, making them unable to hold their heads high in front of others.

Many things are difficult to be forgiven, such as things that are harmful to nature and things that violate a person's bottom line. This proverb indirectly tells us that many times we should be satisfied if we can, and don't just ask for it.

Don’t do some unscrupulous things because of your temporary wrong ideas. You can pursue better things, but it must be legal and reasonable. There are some things that are not moral and ethical and you shouldn’t do them. Do it, don't do some worldly things just because of worldly views.

There is nothing wrong with people being greedy. We all know that money should be obtained in the right way, but not everyone can do it. Just like knowing that you are breaking the law but still doing it, what you end up ruining is My life is so beautiful, but obscene things leave bad memories for my life. It is really not worth it.

In order to survive in this world, people can beg for a bite of food, but people are poor and their ambitions are not poor. Even if they are too poor to eat, they cannot do some sneaky things. You can do some simple hard work when you are in a certain situation. People live for one ambition.

Don’t let your lack of effort or progress become the reason for bad intentions. You must know at any time that you must not touch things that are harmful to nature and morality. Once you touch them, you will go further and further down the wrong path until you are caught. Legal sanctions, it is too late to regret at this time.

And when making friends in daily life, you should also see human nature clearly, and don’t associate with people with stealing intentions. Not only will such people not have a good influence on you, but they will lead you on the road of no return. If you encounter such people, try to stay away from them and associate with people with correct views. You will find good solutions to everything, instead of taking the wrong path when encountering difficulties.

The culture left by the ancients has experienced thousands of years of precipitation and inspired thousands of people. This sentence exists because such things exist. A person’s life is very short. For a long time, it is impossible to always solve things in a middle way.

When you encounter difficulties, you should think of good ways to solve them, rather than taking shortcuts. The old people's words come from life, have gone through the baptism of time, and are passed down from generation to generation. The purpose is for us to understand the meaning, so as to avoid some detours and not to be led astray by bad social trends. .
