Many old sayings come from the mouth of the ancients, many of which seem simple, but in fact they are all happy ever after. These statements are not poetic, so romantic and beautiful, and even the words are not rough, but this does not affect the warning significance for future generations. Ancient people worked tirelessly for their livelihood every day, belonging to the bottom of society. Proverbs also explain some great truths and great wisdom from their perspective.
At that time, there was a saying that "if you are poor, you don't talk, if you are cheap, you don't humble, and you don't persuade people." This sentence is very interesting. Its main idea is that when people are not very rich, even poor, and do not have enough to eat, they should not easily express their opinions in public. They don't have a high rank and rich social experience, so don't convince others. Literally, it means these, but in my opinion, it actually means doing anything.
This sentence is very instructive. Just a few ordinary words conveyed the truth to the listener. Most people in China have been reserved since ancient times, so our own history and culture can be seen at a glance in the text as modest and low-key. In my opinion, we China people, keeping a low profile is the most awesome show off. We only need a few words to tell the truth clearly.
The times are progressing and the society is developing, but there are still many proverbs that have survived the test of time.
