An old saying passed down by ordinary people, also called colloquialism, is usually some experience summed up by the older generations based on the phenomena and laws of life. The reason why the colloquialism can be spread is because you are grounded. No matter where you are, you can always speak I found some resonance in the book, and some of the truths reflected in it are not what can be learned in books. However, most of the common sayings are only experience, not science. Then historical development, human progress, and some common sayings are naturally not applicable to modern life. Up.
"Sisters send sisters, poor generations, sister-in-laws send aunts, send big stupid", there is another way of saying "Sisters send sisters, poor three generations, mothers send daughters, poor to the end", what is this? Mean?
The wedding of the ancients
This is a rule in old weddings.
is different from the modern people getting married. The two families have discussed it, invite some relatives and friends, find a hotel, eat a meal, collect some money and it's all done. The ancients paid much more attention to marriage than today. Why is the wedding called? "Etiquette", etiquette is a common ritual that people observe in their lives due to customs. It is politeness, etiquette, and etiquette. It is a system. The various systems that should be observed in marriage are written in the "Book of Rites" "Regardless of whether you are an aristocratic scholar-official or a commoner, you must observe what should be observed.
On the one hand, abiding by the etiquette system is a legal requirement; on the other hand, although the ancients did not have the term "quality", they were very ethical. The observance of the etiquette system was in line with "morality"; Many ancient people pay attention to customs, eight characters, etc., not to mention whether there is scientific reason or not, but at least it is a reassuring process. What is the purpose of marriage? Isn’t it just for happiness? Isn’t the ancients just to pass on the ancestry? If you don’t even abide by these rituals and don’t get the protection of the gods, what kind of incense will you talk about?
Of course, what I said is very succinct, just a general idea. The real marriage etiquette system cannot be finished in a few words. Sister
sent her sister, the saying of the poor three generations
is a kind of particularity when the ancients got married.
Why can't my sister give her sister? There are multiple reasons.
First, the ancients talked about an orderly age, regardless of whether men or women reached the marriageable age, they must get married, and according to the customs of the ancients, when a daughter is married, she is a foreigner and a husband. Then the question is, my younger sister is married, why do I need my sister to send it off? Is my sister unable to marry? In ancient times, it was very shameful for a girl to reach marriageable age without getting married, or even becoming an older leftover woman. The gossip of the folks in the village is enough to drown people.
Secondly, women in ancient times were not allowed to show their faces at will. Why did the sister come to send her when her sister got married? One possibility is that there are no males in the family. This was a very serious matter in the patriarchal ancient times. There is no male in a family, which means weaning off children. The ancients said that men are the pillars of the family. If there are no boys in the family, it will be a small thing to be blinded, and no one will work to support the family. How can a family live on except its mother and daughter?
"Send a daughter to a mother and be poor to the end" is the same. The main thing is that if a family member is not prosperous, a woman must show up, which is very inconsistent with the values of the ancients. The meaning of the sentence
sister-in-law, sending a big stalk
and the previous two sentences is completely opposite. "Su", an utensil made of rattan, is almost the same as a back basket or a large bamboo basket. A large bamboo basket is filled with stalks. What does it mean? It means that there is plenty of food and clothing and a rich life. Z1z
sister-in-law is also a female, why is it totally different? Sister-in-law
is a foreigner who has married to your family. An outsider who wants to integrate into his original family is very easy to be rejected because he has no blood ties. This is why the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not resolved. Then, this sister-in-law married at home, and when the sister-in-law got married, she actually went to see her off in person. This at least shows that the relationship between the family members is very harmonious, and that this sister-in-law is a very sensible and considerate person.
Let’s talk about family harmony. Think about it, can such a family be disharmonious, and can it get better and better in small days?
So, in the final analysis, the saying, "Sisters send sisters, poor generations, mothers send daughters, poor to the end, sister-in-laws send aunts, stubbornness" is a common saying of the ancients for family prosperity, family harmony, adequate food and clothing, and a stable life. Kind of beautiful vision.Although society no longer pays attention to these sayings, people’s good wishes for life have never changed.
