In the countryside of our country, there have been many common sayings. Some of these sayings can be understood from the content, but some of them cannot be understood through the content alone because of the deep meaning. Because they all belong to the experience of our ancestors, it is of great benefit to us who are in later generations to understand their meaning. The content we want to introduce to you below is related to a common saying, and its content is like this: "Wine does not protect the virtuous, sex does not protect the disease, and wealth does not protect relatives." Because it is a colloquial phrase that has a deep meaning and cannot be understood simply through the content, many people do not immediately understand its meaning when they first know this colloquialism. In order to help you figure out the meaning of this saying, let's give you an introduction below. 
1. The meaning of "wine does not protect the virtuous". Presumably in real life, many people are very fond of drinking. But drinking is very measured, and if a person drinks a lot of alcohol at once, then he can easily get drunk. And once a person is drunk, his consciousness will gradually become unclear. At that time, no matter how gentle and elegant people usually behave, they may do all kinds of ridiculous or shocking things, and they may also say very absurd or hurtful things. What's even more terrifying is that doing so may delay the right thing and make some of the things that these people wanted to do come to naught. And the phrase "wine does not protect the virtuous" wants to tell everyone that this is the meaning. 
Especially for the "big guys" or powerful people who often appear in society, once they let themselves get drunk regardless of it, there is a possibility that they will make a fool of themselves after drinking. Some "ugly" will come out, and at most it will be humiliating;But once some of the "ugliness" come out, then perhaps most of the advantages they had at the time will be at risk of being deprived or lost. Therefore, the meaning of this sentence is to warn those who have always shown a very serious appearance, don't drink indiscriminately, otherwise, how serious the consequences will be, and no one may be able to ** come out. 
2. The meaning of "color does not protect the disease". Although we humans are higher animals, we also have certain desires like animals. In particular, ** can be regarded as the most primitive desire in people. It's just that people are different from animals, and people can restrain their desires in some aspects, including **. It is precisely because of this that the human world is not as chaotic as the animal world in related respects. But if a person is like an animal, he doesn't pay attention to restraining his own **, and is always indulged in **life. Then his body will only become more and more unhealthy day by day, and even in the end, he will most likely face the catastrophe of death. The ancestors were worried that future generations would end up miserable, so they left such a common saying to warn us. 
3. The meaning of "wealth does not protect relatives". Many of the things that people have to do in this world are related to money. For example, clothing, food, housing, transportation, etc., basically all need to spend money to achieve. Because of this, many people take money very seriously. It stands to reason that family affection should be regarded as a very precious existence in the world, right?Relatives should not only share the ups and downs, but also share happiness. But in reality, the situation is clearly not as rosy as we thought. When many people talk about money with their loved ones, they will show the same ruthlessness as if they were facing an enemy. It can even be said that some people do not deliberately go to trouble their relatives who have property in order to obtain property that does not belong to him. 
If you don't believe me, you can look up the facts of the case. Let's look at the number of similar cases that have occurred since ancient times. Of course, because there is a law, once these problems are resolved through legal means, then a conclusion can always be reached in the end. Especially in our modern age, it can even be said that the conclusions drawn are often quite fair. But what can be done?Even if the lost family relationship can no longer be replaced, at least it can be regarded as a temporary breakdown, right?At that time, at least one party will have to pay a more painful price for this, so there is a common saying that "wealth does not protect relatives". 
If everyone can figure out the meaning of this proverb in advance, wouldn't it be easier to achieve the point of "prevention before it happens"?Take the matter of dealing with property, if everyone can figure out the meaning of the phrase "money does not protect relatives" in advance, and can also use it to remind themselves at all times, then there may not be so many family tragedies. Therefore, it is very beneficial for everyone to pay more attention to understand rural sayings. And don't patronize the understanding, but also pay attention to let them play a warning role.
