What does the rural saying "rich can't live in a big house, poor can't travel far" mean?

This sentence is the essence handed down by word of mouth from ancient times. In fact, this sentence is not complete. It should be called:? Old people don't give up their residual essence, and they don't eat strong fire. They can't live in a big house, and they can't travel far if they are poor. So why did you say this before? Let's have a chat.

people can't get rich in a big house

Many people have misunderstandings about this house. The house here is not what we call a house. This big house refers to a sleeping place, which is what we call a bedroom, not a house hall and so on. After all, in the past, the houses of the rich were still very big. Even if the houses were very big, their bedrooms would not be very big. In ancient times, there was a saying that if the bedroom in the sleeping room was too big, it might not be able to gather the blessings and destroy the geomantic omen. Moreover, the room is relatively large, and the surrounding area is very unpopular and deserted.

poverty is not a long way

what do you rely on when you go out? Relying on money, if you don't have money, you may be in trouble. It is possible to starve to death directly before reaching the destination. At this time, it is better to stay at home and hold on to your own land. You can walk the world with money, but you can't move without money. Many things are very easy to solve when you have money to go out, and you can't do anything without money.

In ancient times, it was different from now. Now the traffic was so convenient, but in ancient times, traveling around was too much for your health, and you might encounter all kinds of accidents, so money was even more important.

The phrase "Don't drain the residual essence when you are old, and don't eat too much to make a strong fire"

It is actually very easy to understand, that is, you should conserve your energy when you are old. If people's energy is gone, then life will soon end. This time is to tell us to restrain our desires, protect our spirits, and not to enjoy pleasure for a while. If you don't eat too much, you don't eat too much tonic when you are young.

These are sentences that are very relevant to life, summed up through life, and this is wisdom handed down from generation to generation.
