As the saying goes: poor single, rich widow, widow has land and no one cultivates it
In ancient times, there were many folk sayings that were very applicable to us. For example, the tree is afraid of three shakes, the woman is afraid of three flirts, the chicken is afraid of the push, the dog is afraid of licking" "I'd rather marry a good girl than marry a wife over the wall" "The old cow eats tender grass, and the good horse doesn't look back" "Fishing poor for three years, playing with birds ruins a lifetime" and so on, let's talk about this sentence today, poor single, rich widow, widow has no land to cultivate, interested friends can long press and like to strongly recommend it, we first literally speaking, bachelors are very poor, the family is surrounded by walls, but the widow's family is very rich,
Even if the family land does not need to be cultivated, life is good. This is the understanding of the ancients of this sentence, in ancient times, bachelors were bachelors, most of them were because they were poor, some families were really poor and couldn't afford to marry a daughter-in-law, but some were because they were lazy, and the family was so poor that men naturally no one wanted to marry, most of them relied on physical strength to earn money, if they were lazy, they had no income, and they didn't even have to eat food, so they were poor singles.
Of course, this is not applicable now, and there are many single men with successful careers in society nowadays. Rich widows, widows are first because the death of a man will definitely leave a certain amount of wealth to the woman, so even if they do not cultivate the land, they can survive, and the second is that widows take care of their children alone, most of them will be very hardworking, in order to support their children, in order to give their children a better life, they will work very hard,
This will be richer than those lazy bachelors. So this is how the ancients understood this sentence.
