Friends, today, I would like to share with you a sentence in the "Wealth" chapter of "Kindergarten Qionglin", that is, "Greedy for money and things is called money foolishness; It is good to buy a field house, which is called a place fetish".
It's not hard to see why. If you're interested, don't scratch it off.
The "money fool" in "greedy for money and things, called money foolishness" originated from such an incident, the Jin Dynasty and Qiao served as the prince, Fubi prince, but stingy, Du pre-called him "money fool".
"Coveting money and things is called money foolishness" means that those who are excessively greedy for money and material wealth, their minds are blinded by money, become slaves of money, and lose their insight and judgment for higher spiritual pursuits, so they are called "money fools".
"Good to buy a farm house, called a land fetish" in the "land fetish" is a habit of liking to buy land property.
According to legend, Li Kai in the Tang Dynasty was good at buying land and property, and was known as "land fetish".
"Good land ownership" refers to those who are keen to buy land and property, and they have an almost paranoid preference for land and property, as if only increasing their own property can bring a sense of security and satisfaction.
This mentality has been described as "gethophilia".
Speaking of "geophilia", some ancient people were keen to buy land. Because in their eyes, the field is a golden pimple, and having a field is equivalent to having an iron rice bowl, and they don't have to worry about eating and dressing, and it feels like an insurance lock for themselves and their families, and their children and grandchildren can benefit.
For example, in the Qing Dynasty, many people loved to buy land.
At that time, the rulers implemented a policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, and the social status of merchants was restricted, and they saw that the land was good, and that it could be preserved in value and passed on to future generations, so they exchanged silver for land deeds.
On the other hand, at that time, the government also encouraged the cultivation of wasteland and gave preferential policies, and the land became more and more expensive.
The common people feel that they can only be down-to-earth when they have a land, and they can eat enough food and pass it on to the baby.
Therefore, not only ancient merchants, but even ordinary people, as long as they have a little money in their hands, they also want to buy some land. That enthusiasm is similar to that of us modern people saving money to buy a house.
We modern people are obsessed with buying a house.
Although housing prices are rising vigorously, everyone is still flocking to them.
Why? Because everyone thinks that if they have a house, they will have a home, and their hearts will be stable. In addition, the value of the house will increase and sometimes it can be invested. Many people work hard for most of their lives just to have a nest of their own in the city.
This operation, in fact, is in the same vein as the desperate efforts of the ancients to save money to buy land, and it is the yearning and pursuit of a stable life. It's just that times have changed, and so have the forms of expression
