Ancient ancestors experienced the history from tree dwelling ("Youchao clan") to cave dwelling ("Cave Dwelling clan") and then to folk houses. When the ancestors entered the era of "housing", there was a difference between "poor" and "rich". The word "poor" living in a cave has become a symbol of the poor. After the simplification of Chinese characters, "poor" has become "poor", which can be understood as "a person who lives in a cave and has" strength "but nowhere to make it". Today, it seems that a person who has no house or can't afford a house is "poor".
Rich: "rich" and "poor" are relative, and they are also a word. "Rice" (commonly known as hijab, representing a house)+a "+mouth+field. The ancients believed that having a house, a ticket, a population and land was "rich". Compared with the word "poor", the prefix of the word "rich" is "rice" instead of "hole".
Having a house, money and land is "rich", which is the understanding of ancient ancestors and the pursuit of modern people. But from a dialectical point of view, "wealth" is not necessarily a good thing. "Fu" consists of "Mi" and "Wan", with the word "disaster" in the upper part and "Fu" in the lower part. The so-called "wealth" is half a "blessing" and half a "curse". If you look at today's "rich" people, at least 50% have not yet got out of the strange circle of "happiness" and "misfortune", and you will know that the old saying is really good-you can't be poor for three generations, but you can't be rich for three generations.
Expensive: "rich" and "expensive" always seem to be linked, but they are not. The lower part of "expensive" is "shell", which stands for "wealth" and the upper part is "medium". How to understand the word "zhong"? This is what many "rich people" have never figured out all their lives. In China's ancient philosophy, the word "Zhong" stands for justice and justice, and it is the highest way of life for China people-the golden mean. What is the golden mean? Don't be too harsh, too enjoyable, too harsh, and too extravagant. Only by doing these four things can we maintain "wealth" for a long time.
There is a "Five Blessingg" in life-longevity, wealth, health, virtue and a good death. Longevity means that life does not give up halfway, and wealth means abundant money and noble status; Corning is healthy and peaceful; The virtue of kindness is kindness and generosity; A good death means that life is coming to an end, and you leave this world peacefully and comfortably without illness and worry. Only when Five Blessingg is complete, can it be called "a blessed paradise".
The radical of the word "fu" is "water". "Cave" and "stone" are homonyms, and "stone" is the original word of "God". Now that you have said it, you should understand that the premise of enjoying Five Blessingg in life is to fear the gods. The ancients said well, don't do anything wrong to others, look up at the gods. This tells us that when we are alive, we should always be in awe, not only of the gods, but also of heaven and earth, of filial piety to our parents and of the law. Because heaven and earth, gods, parents and laws are all protectors of "blessed people".
