Why is there a saying in society that "the poor raise their sons and the rich raise their daughters"?
"Why do poor sons raise rich girls?" This question really made me think for a long time, because I always thought that "as the saying goes, proverbs never tire of it". Proverbs and sayings can last for a long time, there must be a reason.

Another sentence corresponding to "raising poor sons and raising rich daughters" may also be the answer to the question. Adopting a son is the most afraid of being the black sheep. Numerous examples in the world can prove that the best way to raise a black sheep is to spoil him. Therefore, the son should be poor, inspirational and thrifty, and the tempering of life will make his son stronger in will and nobler in character. He will cultivate the spirit of self-struggle and material gains from an early age and let him know that wealth is hard to come by.

There are countless examples of adopted daughters who are most afraid of not being tempted. No matter how beautiful and talented a woman is, it is easy to be destroyed by wealth and fall into the end of being spurned. Therefore, a daughter should be rich, virtuous and cultivated, and try to achieve material satisfaction from an early age, so as to cultivate her ability to resist the temptation of wealth and make her not easily confused by all kinds of glitz and vanity. A rich family is not greedy for small profits, but has temperament. This is analyzed from the process of raising children.

Of course, the above-mentioned "poor support" and "rich support" are only symbols of raising children, not really poor and rich, with more money and less money. The symbol of "raising children" represents: hard work and simplicity, hard work, lofty aspirations, vicissitudes of life, bright future; The symbolic representative of "a rich family adopts a daughter": exquisite life, high-end taste, worry-free food and clothing, elegance and leisure, so that she can resist the temptation in the future, distinguish between true and false, and become an elegant beauty with knowledge, knowledge, courtesy, insight and good at selecting people.

For this reason, I think of another proverb, "Men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong husband". Of course, a poor son will not go into the wrong business, because even if he goes into the wrong business, a person who has been baptized by hard life will find his own way; A daughter with a well-off family knows how to appreciate men, will not be confused by superficial phenomena, and is less likely to marry the wrong man.
