Poverty-stricken bankers
Turning their hands over to make clouds and rain, they are all frivolous, so there is no need to count them.
If you don’t see me, I will make friends when I am poor. This way is abandoned by today’s people like dirt.
Notes
①Poor Friendship: A song describing the friendship between the poor and the humble. Poverty-stricken friendships, as an ancient song says: "Don't hurt the roots when picking sunflowers. If you hurt the roots, the sunflowers won't grow. Don't be ashamed of the poor when making friends. You won't be able to make friends if you are ashamed of the poor." True friendships can only be found in poverty, but friendships made in wealth may not be reliable.
② Overturn: upside down.
③Guan Bao: refers to Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya. Guan Zhong got along well with Bao Shuya in his early years. Guan Zhong was poor and bullied Bao Shuya, but Bao Shuya always treated Guan Zhong well. Nowadays, people often use "Guan Bao" to describe a close friend.
④Abandon: Abandon.
Appreciation
Some people make friends, flipping hands, sometimes like the convergence of clouds, sometimes like the dispersion of rain, ever-changing, this kind of bribery, snobbery, etc. How contemptuous, indignant, and dismissive acquaintances and fair-weather acquaintances are! But you see, the ancients Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya had an amicable relationship between rich and poor gentlemen, but they have been abandoned by modern people like dirt.
