Ancient proverbs in China are summed up by the working people in their long-term social practice, which contain their thoughts on life and their doubts about the world. Horses that don't eat grass at night are not fat, that is to say, horses that don't eat grass at night won't gain weight; Without extra money, people are not rich. What they say is that it is difficult for people to become rich without extra income.
It makes sense because people can really get foreign money in a reasonable and proper way and become rich. However, it is not clear what kind of extra money can be taken, so some scholars interpret it as a corrupt official. Make extra money? Reasonable excuse. This speculation is really undeniable.
When it comes to augmented literature, it is a collection of various proverbs and sayings of China from ancient times to the present (Ming and Qing Dynasties), and it belongs to the children's enlightenment bibliography compiled by China in the Ming Dynasty. Unknown author, probably the product of folk wisdom. The core idea of the book is to publicize reading and emphasize filial piety, with the aim of safeguarding Confucianism and imperial power.
In my opinion, it doesn't matter where this proverb comes from, what matters is what inspiration we can get from it. As we all know, there are various investment methods in modern society, from bank wealth management products to stock, futures, gold investment and so on. What would it be if you could use your money to invest reasonably, get foreign money and become rich? Can't people be rich or not? A loyal practitioner.
However, if we get foreign money in a disgraceful way that violates the law and social order and the good customs, then we will pay the price. Even if you can become rich, it will be short-lived. Sooner or later? Back to the original shape? . You see, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, who can escape the transaction by selling their power and money?
To sum up, it is reasonable for people not to have foreign wealth, but it must be reasonable foreign wealth to make us legally rich, otherwise we will bear the consequences.
