I like dogs to get rich: dogs used to be the patent of the rich, and they would keep some dogs to watch the house. Generally, poor people can't go near these rich families. If you come near, the dog will bark when it smells a stranger, and the owner will know that the dog will bite when an uninvited guest comes. At that time, in addition to the rich, there were dogs and hunters in the mountains. They hunt, and dogs are good helpers.
Because ordinary families often can't open the pot, even if they have a dog, the dog will run away because the owner hasn't fed it and go out to find food by himself. At this time, if you run to any door, there is a saying that dogs have money.
Dogs have a keen sense of smell. Why did they run to your door? Nothing more than smelling meat, and in the environment at that time, there were still a few families who could eat meat.
Therefore, it will be said that dogs come to your house, which means that your family is rich. If you raise them well, it means that your family will not decline.
Second, the dead wood meets the spring: the old dead wood at home will grow new buds every spring, which is also a great pleasure at home. Dead wood represents a family's feeling of lifelessness and loneliness, which is generally boring.
But if one day these old trees grow new buds, it means that the face of this family is about to change, which probably means that there is still hope for this family and the old life is about to change. This change may come from a new member of the family, or someone's luck may have changed at the beginning.
Tian Ding, Swallow of Sanxi: Swallows don't go into poverty. Swallows always gave the ancients a feeling of being too poor and loving the rich, because they liked to nest under the eaves of tall houses, because at that time the poor family had no money and the houses were built high.
So if there are swallows nesting in your family, it means that your family is rich, and the purpose of swallows nesting is to breed the next generation, so there is another saying that when swallows come, talents will be added to your family, which means that it is a major event in your family.
To sum up, it is not applicable in modern times to have three joys in the house and talents at home. The status quo can be changed not by animals and plants, but by talents from other families. You still need your own efforts to strike the iron, or you have to rely on your own efforts.
The reason why there is such an old saying is that rural farmers have no ability to change their past lives and can only comfort themselves through these good signs. After all, farmers at that time, like now, had to change their identities if they wanted to get rich.
