As a country born of a big river, it is located inland and abundant in rain, creating a unique agricultural country. Feudal dynasties also benefited from the development of agriculture. After all, the economic base determines the superstructure. As the saying goes, "it is difficult to retreat without food in a day". Before many wars began, "the horses and soldiers did not move, and the food and grass went first".
Food and agriculture are closely related, and the importance of food is self-evident. Chao Cuo, a former thinker in the Han Dynasty, once wrote an article "On Your Millet" in view of the social situation that hurt farmers at that time, which mentioned that "grain is expensive and jade is cheap", meaning to attach importance to grain production and belittle some exquisite jade articles.
Successive dynasties have always attached more importance to agriculture than commerce. Although it inhibited the development of industry and commerce to a certain extent, it also preserved the farming civilization. As a unique ancient civilization in the world, its long cultural history is unparalleled in the world. Therefore, getting rich through hard work is not a slogan, but the wisdom gathered by generations of farmers with their hands. Such is the lack of arable land.
Lazy people can hardly survive in any dynasty in our country. Of course, laziness in farming is only one aspect, and there are many political factors. Some countries are militaristic, busy fighting all day, and busy expanding their territory, but they have abandoned many fields. Over time, the treasury is empty, the rear supply is insufficient, and the defeat ahead is a matter of time. As the saying goes: take history as a mirror, poverty and people's livelihood are evil, in contemporary times. Agricultural production has become more convenient. More and more grain is produced every year, and warehouses are full rather than empty. So in today's society, we live a rich life and no longer worry about food and clothing.
In the past, whether a family was rich or not depended on how much food it had, but now there are different explanations. The granary no longer refers to the grain depot, but more refers to the numbers on wallets and bank cards. It is speculated that some officials' families are in the countryside. Walking around the house casually, you will find that large tracts of farmland are no longer the same as in the past, either contracted to others or abandoned, full of weeds. Most people will choose to go out to work, and there are fewer and fewer people in rural areas. After all, it is not as convenient for a family to support themselves by plowing land as it is for a person to work outside the home, and the salary is more.
Therefore, this sentence has a new meaning in the new era. Create wealth with your hands, work hard, and no longer refer to sweating in the fields.
Children and grandchildren are fools if they don't study. After all, reading can be wise. In ancient times, reading was a luxury. Farmers living at the bottom have no access to books, but it's different now. After the popularization of nine-year compulsory education in China, the knowledge level of the whole people has reached a higher level.
Under the perfect educational mechanism system, students have become a huge group in the current society. As we all know, if you want to change your destiny, you have to study. But after entering the work, this idea is much weaker. When their jobs are stable and they feel hopeless for promotion, they stop thinking about changing themselves through reading, and even think it is a waste of time. Whenever they have leisure time, they basically give it to their mobile phones and computers.
Some people say that this society is more difficult to survive than before, and many industries are gradually saturated. If you don't have innovative ideas, you will only become a vassal of life and a consultant to others. However, everyone is not, but if you give up the hope of progress, there will be a waste of good time and endless learning. Constantly enrich yourself and strengthen yourself, so as to seize the opportunity when it comes. "Carp yue longmen, soaring", what do you say?
