Time is frozen in the cold winter month, and the Spring Festival is quietly approaching. How many wanderers far away are about to carry thick bags and embark on the train home. Wives and children, parents and relatives who have not been seen for a year or even years. I miss it so much. Running on the way home, the footsteps are hurried, and the heart is excited. They wish they could travel through time and space and reach their loved ones in the blink of an eye. Speaking of these, in fact, the ancients had such a saying: "Seven do not go out, eight do not return home." What does that mean?
One, seven do not go out.
Some people say that the seven here refers to the days of the month with seven, that is, the seventh, seventeen, and twenty-seven of the first month. In fact, it is not, the seven here are said to be "chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea". Seeing this, is everyone confused? What does this "chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea" have to do with not going out? Chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea does not go out, obviously the donkey lips are not right for the horse's mouth. Don't worry, listen to me slowly.
Chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea is a must for life. That is, the seven things that open the door to live a life. Every family needs it. In ancient times, as long as there were these few things, it was considered that there was no need to worry about life. And seven do not go out, in fact, it is said that only by preparing seven things such as chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea can you go out. In ancient times, outside the male protagonist and inside the female protagonist, it was definitely the young and middle-aged men who generally went out. Men at this stage, there are old and young, do not arrange their lives and living well, and how to go out of the house with peace of mind. Letting his wife and children starve and freeze is not the result a man wants to see. Only by arranging the home properly, so as not to catch fire in the backyard and have no worries, can you leave the house. In fact, this is to say that as a man, you should have the responsibility of a man, not only to be filial to your parents, but also to act as a backbone, to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family, so that your women and children do not suffer with themselves. Therefore, the ancients had the saying that "seven do not go out". It's not that some people think, don't go out on the seventh, seventeenth, and twenty-seventh days of the first seven, that's unlucky.
Two, eight do not return home.
The same "eight do not return home", some people also think that it is: the first eight, eighteen, twenty-eight can not go home. Going home would be unlucky. In fact, it is not, the eight here refers to the eight words of filial piety, compassion, loyalty, faith, etiquette, righteousness, honesty, and shame. If you read it together with not returning home, wouldn't you become a great rebel? So, what did the ancients say?
In fact, what the ancients said was: when you go out, you must understand filial piety, compassion, loyalty, faith, etiquette, righteousness, honesty, and shame. We must abide by these eight-word mantras. If you can't do this, you will have no face to face Jiangdong's father and elder. If you can't even do these basic rules of being a human being outside, then don't go home. Therefore, the ancients had the saying of "eight do not return home". It is not what many people think, the first eight, eighteen, twenty-eight can not go home, home is not auspicious to say.
In fact, this seemingly simple saying is teaching people to do things. Settle down with your family and don't go far. If you can't do filial piety, compassion, loyalty, faith, courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and shame, don't go home.
