There are many common sayings in rural areas that are still familiar after hundreds of years. These are the valuable experiences of the predecessors. They can not only show the wisdom of the predecessors, but also warn future generations to seek advantages and avoid disasters. This has to be said It is a classic masterpiece of the treasure house of Chinese culture. Due to the vast land and rich resources of our country and the different human and geographical environments, some sayings may be said differently, but some sayings are common to everyone. For example, "If you are poor, you will not leave your relatives and if you are rich, you will not return home. If you are weak, you will not leave." Is this saying true?
1. If you are poor, you will not leave your relatives; if you are rich, you will not return home
As the saying goes, a poor person has no relatives. From ancient times to the present, the amount of wealth determines a person's social status. You won't get respect anywhere, and sometimes even the closest people will be alienated. When you interact with the poor, you tend to talk to each other and are disgusted with the world; when you interact with the rich, you devalue yourself. Isn’t it often said that no one knows you are poor in the busy city? Relatives and friends will stay away from you because you are poor, for fear that you will get involved with them. Even if you send a kind greeting, you will be regarded as a donkey, and no one will pay attention to you. The poor will leave. Relatives will also look down on you, get ridiculed and ridiculed, and deliberately ask you about your income, job, house, etc. when there are many people. In fact, it is humiliating. It is better to stay at home and live your own life.
And a person cannot return to his hometown immediately after becoming rich. Although returning home in fine clothes will be a glorious sight, he will be jealous of the villagers. When they come to your door, they do not wish you congratulations, but borrow money from you. They ask for money for various reasons. If you don't lend it, they will speak evil words, secretly do evil, slander you, and even abuse you. This is human nature. , so the poor will not leave relatives and the rich will not return home.
2. If your strength is weak, your words may be too heavy to persuade others.
This sentence means that if you are not strong enough, don’t push yourself. If you are humble and your words have no weight, don’t persuade others. , no one listens to me even if I try to persuade you, and you will make yourself look coquettish. This is a very philosophical statement. Some people especially like to be flattered by others. They obviously don’t have the ability to do something, but they still pat their chests and promise. In the end Even if you try your best to get it, you will naturally be laughed at. Even if you finally get it, it will be because you begged grandpa to sue grandma. The key will not be settled well. At most, you can just say thank you, because people know how much you weigh. Two, this is also a typical example of pretending to be fat.
If you have a low status, no status or reputation, and your words are of little weight, you should not advise others. However, you always feel that you are an elder. Experienced people teach people what they can and cannot do, as if what they say is the truth. In fact, such people cannot face their own strength and live in illusions. Outsiders may not contradict them at the time due to human feelings, but behind their backs I don’t know how many times I have scolded such people. Such people are pitiful and hateful, so they do nothing to persuade others.
To sum up, this proverb is a cautionary saying, which contains a profound philosophy of life. If you are poor, you will do good to yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. Act within your ability, hide your strength and bide your time, and tell the true meaning of life.
