Proverbs run through all aspects of people's lives. Because it is close to life, it is more meaningful and more suitable for word of mouth. From ancient times to the present, there are many proverbs about happy events, which are closely related to China people's love for good luck.
As the saying goes: "There are three joys in the family, and good things follow." Many people want to know which of these three kinds of happiness is? It's actually quite simple. Sanxi are three common animals in life, namely dogs, swallows and magpies. These three animals represent auspiciousness in China. "Dogs come to the rich", "Swallows nest at home, and there are many good things", "When magpies bark at the door, there will be happy events".
I believe that people who do business at home know that dogs are good friends of human beings. In rural areas, dogs can not only be regarded as family and friends, but more importantly, dogs can guard their homes and protect their property. The barking of dogs is homophonic with China's "Want Want", so many people regard dogs as representatives of prosperity.
If a person has a dog at home and doesn't want to leave, people will think it is an auspicious omen and his family will have good luck.
Swallows like to nest under other people's eaves. China people like swallows for a reason. In ancient times, swallows often chose the houses of large families to build their nests, because these houses can shelter from the wind and rain, and they have enough food. Slowly, people think that swallows are a bird that can distinguish wealth, so people believe that as long as swallows nest at home, this family may become a rich family in the future.
"When the magpies call at the door, there will be a happy event." Magpie has been regarded as a lucky bird since ancient times, because its voice is very pleasant. There were many poems praising magpies in ancient times. After a long time, magpie became a kind of bird that people liked. Whether in the countryside or in the city, whether there is really a happy event or not, as long as you go out and hear magpies calling, people's mood will become comfortable.
