I love everything old—old friends, old times, old habits, old books, old stuffing—and I'm sure, Taurus, you must also admit that I've always liked an old wife.
This is what The Old Man Mr. Hadkasso said in Golsmi's famous play "Seeking Perfection".
His wife Tao Lesai listened to this sentence and was a little happy in her heart, this old man still liked her, but not without a little sadness, because the second half of this sentence said through her old age.
There is nothing wrong with the first half of this sentence, he personally has this habit, what do other people do? And in fact, there are many people who feel the same way, and they also feel that everything is old and good, in addition to friends, times, habits, books, wine, there are countless things that are older and older, older and older, better.
So someone copied this half of the famous saying in italics, put it in a glass frame, and hung it on the wall, which seemed to be a challenge to people who liked to remove the old cloth and make a new one.
As the saying goes, "People are not as good as they were, and clothes are not as good as new." "In fact, the clothes are still old comforts. After the new clothes, the east did not dare to sit, and the west did not dare to lean on, trembling.
I've seen someone focus intently on the straight line on the trouser tube of his new suit, and the first thing he did when he sat down was to lift his hand a few times at his knee, fearing that his straight trouser tube would become a pocket.
At this point in life, what fun is there to say! Ever seen a small photo of Einstein? He was always draped in a loose, large torn jacket with an open neckline, with small holes in it, not without patches of sweat and oil stains, but he wandered around under the cover of this worn-out dress.

Old things are often cute because they have content that evokes memories.
For example, although the solar calendar is the calendar we officially adopt, in the folk, the lunar calendar cannot be abolished, and it takes two new years every year, and only in the old year is it possible to "replace the old peach with the old symbol".
Knowing that it is subtropical, it is still not uncommon to smoke and burn to make bacon that often smells of corpses. The dragon boat dumplings of the Dragon Boat Festival are indispensable, and how many people think of Dr. Qu who "revealed his own resentment and feared the sinking river"? Is it not the old cliché story?
The Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon, the weight of the nine ascending, will always arouse people's indelible interest once a year. Even the pot of porridge in Lapa Eight is unforgettable.
As for things for personal enjoyment, of course, the older the more meaningful. A Yixing sand pot with Chen Mansheng's inscription on it, even though it is worn, the smell is natural and elegant. "Fan Pu Jin back Yuan ren painting, golden millet note containing Song edition book", is enough to make people transcend the distance, with the ancients travel.
I have an ancient piece of money, "Lin'an Province, quasi-Ginseng Baiwen Province", and I can't help but think of the Nandu Princes watching the West Lake song and dance.
I have a pair of walnuts, my grandfather used to rub them in my hands, and then I rubbed them in my father's hands, and they also sounded for decades, smooth and ruddy, like chalcedony, really the first hand, and now it is my turn to rubora in my hand, and several times I have almost been crushed by my children and grandchildren to take out the peach kernels to eat!
It's not surprising that every broken house can come up with a few old things. The same is true of countries. How many decaying ancient countries have many antiquities, which can be envied, appreciated, sighed, and sighed!
There are many places where old things can be nostalgic, and there are many places where life should be new and new every day.
Although we rejoice and marvel at the old music and cultural relics, we cannot always be in the realm of beautiful memories, we still have to return to the ground of this reality.
In the museum, we are faced with The Jijin of Shang Zhou and the calligraphy and painting porcelain of Song Yuanming, but when we walk out of the door with sour legs, we immediately have to face the buses that crowd the dead, the ugly city moves, and the glasses that are common to all kinds of drinks!
Old things are more or less lovely, but old diseases cannot be recur.
Such as the arrogant temper of the night lang, the remnants of slavery, the laziness and selfish vices, the ugliness of the fly camp dog, the deformed and sick aesthetic concepts, and the difficult to read all kinds of diseases, it is advisable to go early.
The old disease has only gone, and the new disease may come again, but it is better than the complication of the old disease and the new disease.
The most frightening thing is that advocating to be conservative is actually just obsessing with the skeleton; but the new is the donkey, in fact, it is just picking up the fur, that is, the loss between the old and the new.
Sounds good
