Ancient Chinese culture is very splendid and brilliant, in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Hundred Schools of Contention, Mencius said that human nature is inherently good, while Xunzi, who is also a Confucian scholar, said that human nature is inherently evil, but how should good and evil be divided? The ancients said that "good and evil look at the eyebrows, and the rich and the poor look at the horse stake", so can we really distinguish between good and evil and rich and poor? Do you know what it means?
Good and evil look into the eyebrows
As the saying goes, the ancient ancestors' understanding of life, "good and evil look at the eyebrows" this sentence, how do you think when you first see it, do you think the ancients are very cattle, look at the contours of people's faces can distinguish between people's good and evil, in fact, there is so simple ah! Since ancient times, the most difficult thing to see is the human heart, and how can good and evil be easily distinguished.
Speaking of the word "eyebrow", it is recorded in the "Biography of Mu Tianzi" that "the son of heaven was expelled from Mount Ti, which is the stone of Mount Ti, and the locust of the tree, the mountain of the Queen Mother of the West." The eyebrow here is the meaning of the inscription, that is, a plaque in the house; the "Handbook of the Deformed Man" says, "You say that Brother Ao picks eyes, you don't take some eyes to let him pick, you just fill in these eyes." The eye words here are the meaning of shortcomings and loopholes; that is, whether a person's home is good or evil, mainly by looking at the plaque and bottom line of their home, they can know good and evil, and justice is in the hearts of the people.
Hu QingyuTang as a medicine hall in the late Qing Dynasty, the internal plaque above the words "quit cheating", the largest private pharmacy in Hangzhou, adhering to the concept of the hearts of the doctors' parents, saved a lot of poor people in that era, in this regard, Hu Xueyan finally even failed, still used his goodwill to live in the hearts of many people, indicating that Hu Xueyan founded the medicine hall is a good intention, his bottom line is to let everyone eat affordable medicine, do not spend money unjustly.
Rich and poor look at the horse stakes
To say that good and evil are not so easy to distinguish is because the human heart is intrinsic and cannot be distinguished in time, but is it really so easy to distinguish between rich and poor? Many people dress plainly, but they can't guarantee that people can get hundreds of millions of family wealth, and many people are well dressed, and it is inevitable to cheat people out of money.
In fact, the ancients said that "the rich and the poor look at the horse pile" is not really to let you see the amount of wealth, but to let you learn how to see whether this person is rich and rich or not, the gap here is very large, because the difference between the rich and the rich is still very large.
Among them, the horse stake is a specific tool that can be distinguished, the horse stake is called "the table of the zhuang household", which shows the identity symbol meaning of the horse stake, in addition to the decorative role, there is a strong identity symbol, the family can raise horses to illustrate that it is not poor, if you can place the horse stake, it is simply a local tycoon, the horse stake in the number of placements and carved stone carvings have strict grade regulations, look at the horse stake at the door of the house can know the status of this family, this is the so-called "rich and poor to see the horse pile.".
The times have been developing, many things in the past are not applicable, but the words of the ancients are still correct, a person's good and evil, it is difficult to judge, but look at his bottom line and shortcomings, it is not difficult to know good and evil for a long time; and the gap between rich and poor, it is best not to judge people by appearance, because not all rich people like to show off their money.
epilogue
A person's good and evil is not said to be judged at once, whether a person is really rich is not a can be seen at once, it all needs time to confirm, after all, time is also a criterion for testing truth and falsehood, some people do not want to lose those honors, they need to work hard to maintain the trust in people's hearts.
As the saying goes, these words come from the common sense of life, and are higher than the cognition of life, which is the sublimation of life and an expectation of a better life.
