The phrase "princes and princes will wish to live together" expressed the hearts of many people. Anyone with ideas wants to live a life of masters. However, whether he is willing or not, it means how many difficulties he has to go through. 。It is all through hard work and hard work, but past experience has taught everyone that it is not easy to become the top of wealth. The ancients said: "The grave has no head, the descendants are poor, and the fox spirit guards it." Rich three generations", do you know why?
Poverty of children and grandchildren. In traditional Chinese culture, filial piety to parents and family elders is one of the genes of cultural inheritance, and the so-called filial piety is not only the filial piety of parents when they are alive, but also the filial piety after the death of parents. Passed away. Helping them fulfill their wishes is the idea of many elders, and it is also a way for many children to fulfill their filial piety.
When many rural children build cemeteries for their parents, they will build them according to the economic conditions of the family, and if the economic conditions are better, the cemetery will be built more luxuriously, and if the economic conditions are relatively poor, the cemetery will be built more luxuriously. It's relatively simple, no matter what, you have done your filial piety to your parents.
In ancient times, building a cemetery was very different. The ancients talked about the rich and the poor, and also about the respect and the humble. If you have the money, you can't build it. At that time, people were divided into four levels: "scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants". Although the merchants were wealthy and had no worries about food and clothing, their political status was lower than that of the peasants. Cemeteries were built with strict class restrictions, which were completely different from today's society. 。
The Book of Rites: "In ancient times, there were no graves in tombs, and those on higher ground were called tombs. "There is a difference between a grave and a grave. Those graves that have graves are graves. "The Book of Rites of Zhou" records: "If the people do not seal it, there will be no tree." The prince was twenty feet tall, eighteen feet in the first class, and sixteen feet in the second class. "Those graves are a status symbol, but the poor and the rich cannot enjoy this level. So there is a saying: that is, "courtesy is all respectful to the people".
Later, with the rise of the imperial examination system, people's lives were no longer controlled by the aristocracy, so there was a saying that "everything is inferior, only education is good". However, the objective reality is that the higher you are. Let's go, the narrower the road. Jinshi is like fighting for fame. It is a single-plank bridge. On such a path, those ** and families have their own advantages. "Chu Ci" cloud: "The general will be bitter and will be poor in the end". Poverty here means ambition cannot be realized. People who are originally in high society are relatively easy to succeed, and people who are otherwise poor are relatively easy to fail.
The fox fairy guards the tomb.
In ancient society, the imperial examination did rely on one's own talent and knowledge, such as Niu Monk and Yu in the Tang Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu in the Song Dynasty, and Yu Qian in the Ming Dynasty, all of whom did not rely on their own ability to take the examination. Become a Jinshi. Historically prominent, famous.
But when you cross the single-plank bridge, it is true that not everyone has the opportunity and strength to get the dignity they deserve, Pu Songling of the Qing Dynasty is such a person, but there is a ghost story in "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai". studio", he is also an eternal man. According to legend, there are many stories in it. The most famous is the story of a fox turning into an elf. Moreover, after those foxes became beauties, most of them liked poor scholars. Why is that?
The ancients had a saying that "the fox guards the grave". In ancient times, fox spirits were deeply loved by literati and artists. "The Migration of the Countryside and the Wild" cloud: "The people are disturbed by the fox god, and they sacrifice to the fox god at home to seek favor, and the diet is the same as that of the world." And "Zuo Chuan" said that "Nengdu tomb three, cannon five, rope eight, mound nine". The grave here means classic. It's not. I don't know why Pu Songling's fox fairies always like those readers, and now those readers are like living classics, and the stories of talented and beautiful women are more likely to resonate with people.
The ancients said: "All things are inferior, but reading is good." If you can be admitted to the imperial examination, it will be a major event that will glorify your ancestors and change the fate of your family. In the Song Dynasty, those who could pass the imperial examination, as long as they could achieve more than five senses, their descendants could obtain official positions and salaries, which would naturally affect the lives of several generations. In ancient times, fox fairies; It is on par with the phoenix and other wild beasts. According to everyone's cognition, auspiciousness can give people protection, and there is a saying among the people that "the fox guards the grave, and the rich three generations".
Conclusion. When the family with five surnames and seven hopes became a legend, countless people embarked on the road of the imperial examination to change the fate of themselves and their families, and it was everyone's dream to be on the gold medal list. When the heart is not sure, everyone often likes to find comfort in their hearts, whether it is to worship Kui Xing, or to talk to the fox fairy, it is a kind of nourishment for everyone's heart.
