The novel "Jin Ping Mei" begins with a set of joint chapter words, called "Four Greedy Words".
The "four greeds" refer to "wine, wealth, sex, and qi" respectively.
Greed is not enough for snakes to swallow elephants. The greatest sorrow in life is not that there is nothing, but that there is no understanding of enough.
After fifty years, life begins to decline, and if you do not know how to converge, you can only be desolate at night.
If you want to be happy in life, the following kinds of greed must be abandoned.

Treat wealth as fate.
There is a piece of advice: Do not stretch out your hand, and if you reach out, you will be caught.
A greedy official, as long as he takes advantage of the public, even if the world does not know, will be exposed.
"The eyes of the masses are shining," and if you believe such a sentence, you will be in awe. Where in the world are there impermeable walls? Even a hole the size of a needle's eye can have several levels of wind.
The Qing Dynasty's Hezhen was highly powerful, but he was greedy, and when he raided his home, there were more than 32,000 taels of gold in the private treasury of the wall, and more than 3 million taels of silver were buried in the cellar. There are also countless houses, land, antiques.
Some people estimate that the wealth of the Hezhen family exceeded the income of the imperial court for ten years.
Looking back, he had so much wealth, did he enjoy it? For future generations, have you got it? All greed is illusory.
If you are over fifty, you probably don't have the status of Hezhen, but you can have the "greed" of Hezhen.
How many people, in order to make money, do not want to die. Money, which is a bone removal knife, hurts the healthy body and hurts the soul.

Good wine greedy cup.
As the saying goes, the first half of life is desperate, and the second half of life is spared. People over fifty, or cherish life is important, do not covet enjoyment, do not drink alcohol and hurt the body.
"100 Poems of Li Baidou Wine". The poet Li Bai drank wine and wrote poetry, which was very influential, but his life expectancy was not long, and because of excessive drinking, he hurt his body.
The Old Book of Tang records that Li Bai "died of excessive drinking and drunkenness in Xuancheng".
During the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Shao's general Chun Yuqiong drank with his generals all day and did not strengthen his defenses, resulting in the loss of grain and grass and military camps in the Battle of Guandu, and he himself was insulted.
After Liu Bei drank, he casually said, "In the past, all the generals from the Fallen Dynasty were old and useless. ”
As a result, the veteran general Huang Zhong gambled and went out on the battlefield and died on the battlefield.
The wine and flesh pass through the intestines, and the Buddha's heart stays; after the meal, a glass of wine, live to ninety-nine. All this is just an illusion. Believe it or not, I don't believe it.
A small glass of wine is leisurely, and one more cup is sad.
Over fifty people, how much alcohol do you still have. The amount of alcohol needs to be "carried" by the body. Anyone who drinks a good cup of wine will lose his healthy body.
Don't forget, health is the biggest real estate. Only when you are healthy and healthy, when you retire, can you live your old age in peace. If after retirement, every day is sick, then after retirement, idle days at home, what does it mean?

Lothario.
There are many lustful people in "Golden Plum Bottle". In addition to Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian, there are also Li Zhen'er, Chun Mei and others.
Unfortunately, all lustful people don't have a good ending. Even an evil person like Ximen Qing could not escape bad luck after all. Although he is very good at business and has a lot of money, money is not omnipotent, and at the critical time, he cannot buy good luck.
As for the other characters, it is even less worth mentioning.
In the "History of Qu Yuan Jia Sheng Lie", it is written: "The national style is lustful but not obscene, Xiao Ya is resentful and slanderous but not chaotic, and if he deviates from the rioter, it can be said that it is both." ”
Lady, gentleman, there is nothing wrong with it, what is wrong is that it is too.
Gentlemen are also mortals, and only when they are good at controlling their own moods and grasping the scale of being a human being can they appear sacred.
Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, had an older sister named Princess Huyang.
Princess Huyang fell in love with Song Hong, so she asked the emperor to go to the mediator.
Song Hong replied: "Your Majesty, the subject has also heard an old saying, 'The knowledge of the poor and the lowly must not be forgotten, and the wife of the chaff does not go to the church'. ”
A person who has a wife cannot betray his wife for the rest of his life, whether poor or rich. Even if the princess likes herself, she must categorically refuse.
Over fifty people, can you learn From Song Hong?

Be on one's high horse.
"A moment of anger is nameless, and when it comes, it will be sad and harmful."
Those who are angry and attack the heart will be sick, and even die young. In real life, there are not many people with heart disease, and it is really dangerous to get angry from now on.
In real life, it is not uncommon to get angry, fight with people, and even hurt people.
Some elderly people, because the bus is too crowded and no one gives up their position, are indignant and can beat people at any time. It's a big surprise.
Remember, as you get older, you have to get better.
If you are always "bad and bad", you have become an evil person in the eyes of others, and you will not be respected.
When others call you "Grandpa, Grandma", how do you mean to do evil?
Control your anger and your mind will be quieter and cleaner.
When you are domineering, you are actually hurting others and hurting yourself. No matter who you are angry with, it will hurt your body and lead to tension between people.
Life is not easy, learn to think differently. Understanding others and society, there is nothing to be angry about.

Fifty-year-old people have experienced a lot of things, what else can't be seen?
See through the big things and small things around you, everything is a common thing.
Anger is useless, fighting for anger is useful.
Finally, send you a few words: wine is poison through the intestines, color is a bone scraping steel knife, wealth is a tiger descending the mountain, and qi is a root seedling.
Encourage the king and spend the rest of your life in peace.
