The "four taboos of life" summed up by the ancestors, great wisdom!

During the struggle for hegemony between the princes at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu once had a high prestige, achieved an absolute hegemonic status, and was able to divide the princes of the world, and even Liu Bang's "King of Han" was sealed by him.

But when did Xiang Yu's prestige begin to decline? It was after Xiang Yu captured Xianyang in 206 BC that people advised him to set the capital in Xianyang, but Xiang Yu very simply refused.

And the reason for the refusal is quite speechless, Xiang Yu's original words are "The rich and noble do not return to their hometown, such as the night of the clothes, who knows?" "If you don't return to your hometown after the rich, it's like walking at night in beautiful clothes, and who can see it?"

So Xiang Yu did not set the capital of Xianyang after all, gradually lost the hearts of the people in the world, and finally perished, and also derived the idiom of "Yijin Night Walk".

Later generations of people often hold a negative meaning when they say the word "Yijin Night Walk", but in fact, in real life, there are many people who think the same as Xiang Yu.

The most common thing is that after people are rich and developed, they must return to their hometowns and build a fairly large house, so that people can know at a glance that this family is very rich, the so-called "rich and noble return to their hometown to build a big house".

However, this practice is actually not advisable, and the ancestors even juxtaposed it with other events, calling it "the first of the four taboos of life", and summarizing and refining it into a very simple colloquialism, the first two sentences are familiar to all of us, that is, "the rich can't live in the big house, the poor can't go far."

The reason why it is said that "the rich can't live in the big house" is very simple, which is in opposition to Xiang Yu's idea of "night travel in clothes", after all, history has proved that those who cannot accept the "night walk in clothes" often have a bad ending.

Specifically, it is necessary to pursue the principle of "wealth is not revealed", do not reflect their own wealth, and do not let themselves reflect a better life than the neighbors and villagers next to them, otherwise there will be a lot of gratuitous malice and inexplicable troubles.

As for the "poor can not go far" is even simpler, the mode of transportation of modern people has been very convenient, thousands of miles away is only a few hours, people for the long door, the long way has not much feeling.

But in ancient times, going out and traveling a long way is indeed a very painful thing, on the one hand, the boat and car running around will make people's bodies eat, on the other hand, it is easy to encounter various accidents, but also easy to get sick, the reason why Qin Qiong fell to the point of selling horses at the beginning is because of "poor travel".

In the "four taboos of life" summarized by the ancients, the popularity of "rich can't live in a big house, poor can't go far" is very high, but in fact, the last 2 sentences are the real essence, which can more reflect the wisdom of the ancestors for life and life, that is, "the old do not leak the residue, less do not eat the fire".

The former says that after reaching a certain age, people must learn to restrain their desires and maintain their spirit and body, while the latter is that people cannot covet a moment of speed when they are young, and once they are too late, they will suffer in return.

There have been many things in history, although when we go to see it today, we will only think that it is one story after another, as if we are watching a film and television drama, but in fact, they have all really happened in those years, and the final result has already been presented.

Subsequent people summed up the saying that "the rich can't live in the big house, the poor can't go far, the old don't leak the residue, and the few don't eat the fire" according to the results one by one, if we can avoid such things, then naturally we can get better results.
