China attached importance to agriculture in ancient times and gave priority to its development. Urban agriculture, industry and commerce, in the eyes of many people now, are seemingly difficult to talk about, but in ancient times, agriculture played a very important role in commerce and occupied a very important position. Farmers have worked for a long time, and by summing up the experience of many people, they finally gathered into a classic saying that seems to have some basis. These proverbs are usually not so gorgeous, but they are very practical and universal. In the long river of historical development, they have not been annihilated, but have been passed down from mouth to mouth with the development of time.

Many proverbs are still useful today. What I want to say today is the proverb "borrow three but not two." Do you know what three and two mean here?

In fact, "borrow three but not two." There is also a sentence behind it, "If you are in emergency, you will save the poor." You may have some ideas when you hear this. Usually talking about money is a very sensitive topic. As the saying goes, "Talking about money hurts feelings, and talking about feelings hurts money." What the ancestors said is very reasonable.

"Borrow three and don't borrow two." The three things in the book are three concrete things. You can borrow money for weddings, funerals and weddings, because it usually costs a lot of money to do these two traditional customs, so it is more reasonable to borrow money. The second is to borrow money to treat diseases. Being sick is a very uncomfortable thing, and treating diseases is actually a particularly big expense, so it can be lent to people who are strong because of treating diseases. The third means borrowing money to go to school. Education concerns children's future. Lending money to send a child to school is tantamount to saving lives.

Second, if you don't lend, you don't lend to people without credit, because if you borrow, you can't afford it. And don't lend it to people with bad character, because it is very likely that some bad things will implicate you.
