The fifth time of Cao Qingxue Qin's Dream of Red Mansions. The general idea of this sentence is: don't be poor all your life. When people are old and exhausted, they can't do anything, and their ability to resist external hardships is greatly weakened. If they suffer from poverty again at this time, they will suffer mentally and physically. This sentence can be used to illustrate that it is unfortunate to be poor in old age; It can also be used to explain that when you are young, you can't do nothing and waste pleasure, so you will be poor when you are old.

Miao and Shu taxes can't be eaten, and the official warehouse is turned into soil. Famous sayings about poverty

Tang Zhangji's wild old songs. Lose: pay, pay. Due to natural disasters, crops in the field are sparse and taxes are extremely heavy. The limited grain harvested in autumn has to be used to pay the rent and sent to the official warehouse, leaving it to rot and turn into dust, while I have no food and clothing. This poem expresses heavy taxes and poor people in plain language and strong contrast. The contrast between "Miao Shu" and "exorbitant taxes and levies", and the contrast between "not enough to eat" and "turning war into friendship" all strengthen the expression effect and reveal the hardships of exorbitant taxes and levies and the living conditions of working people more and more profoundly. It can be used to show the extremely poor living conditions of farmers in the old society.

Finally, Xiaomi went to someone else, and my wife didn't know where to throw it.

Don Zhang Bi's peasant father. I worked hard all the year round, and as a result, all the food collected in the field was used to pay the rent, which made it impossible for my family to maintain the minimum living, even for myself, and my wife and children didn't know where to throw it. It can be used to reflect the cruel exploitation and extreme poverty of the working people in the old society.

The Father of the Farmer by Zhang Bi, a poet in Tang Dynasty.

You eat your food with wild vegetables, but your food is sweet. You cook with dead branches with leaves.
