The Chinese nation is a nation with a long history. Many common sayings have been summarized in the five thousand years of history. These "old people's words" are very common in our lives. Although the old sayings are not as beautiful as Tang poetry and Song lyrics, the truths it contains are profound. Although the old sayings look simpler, they are actually full of the wisdom of the older generation. The ancients once left an old saying: "A blessed person has two legs, and a blessed person has two legs." first read this sentence will make many people more puzzled. Are the meanings of "hair legs" and "hair legs" the same? Why is hair still related to Youfu?
Ancients
What is a blessed person? There are different answers in life. Some say "Without food and clothing, it is blessing", some say "Longevity is blessing", and some say "Health is blessing". In the past, I heard from the older generation that we can see whether a person is blessed by external characteristics. so we often hear the saying "prosperous image of a husband", such as where it is bigger or where it is smaller. , but I have never heard of hair as well as blessings. Letβs take a look at the origin of this statement.
Older generation
Blessed people with legs hair
' Leg hair ' many people are not too unfamiliar with the word "two hair" because this is a kind of hair that comes from the human body. Nowadays, there are not many opinions about hair, but the ancients attached great importance to hair. Because in ancient times, "the body, hair and skin are the parents who are accepted by them", how much did they pay attention to it in ancient times? In layman's terms, it cannot be destroyed at will. This is because ancient people attached great importance to filial piety. After all, the old saying often says "filial piety is the first priority for all virtues."
Leg Hair
"Blessed people with two legs" is not difficult to understand literally. The reason for this statement in ancient times was that actually had a lot to do with the previous social environment. We all know that the farming technology in the ancient times was very underdeveloped. In that era, crop planting basically relies on hands. Since most of the farmers were in the fields, they inevitably had few legs. After all, it is easy to stick your leg hair when cleaning up the dirt on your legs. In addition, the legs are inevitably rubbed when transplanting rice. On the other hand, those rich gentry have no external force to affect their leg hair, and the saying that people with good fortune, the leg hair is strong has spread. In addition, the clothes were relatively long in ancient times, which undoubtedly played a protective role for the rich gentry.

The second half of the "No blessing" is a stubborn person with two legs
Many people are puzzled because this passage seems contradictory and is completely opposite to the meaning of the first half. If you want to understand the meaning of the second half, you must start with the word "hair". Since the pronunciation of "hair" and "busy" in ancient times was the same, , the "hair legs" in the second half can be understood as "busy legs". We all know that in ancient times, wealthy people always had carriages or sedan chairs when traveling, , so there was this sentence "A person with no blessings had two legs", After all, in ancient times, ordinary people relied on their feet to travel.

Summary: "A blessed person has two legs, while a blessed person has two legs." The passage of is quite reasonable in ancient times, because the social environment at that time was indeed like this. However, nowadays, it is biased. is easy to make mistakes by identifying people through appearances. After all, the old saying often says "A person should not behave like a person, and the sea water should not be weighed down" and there is no theory that can prove it related to leg hair. However, some of the truths implied by this sentence are very realistic. What do you think of this old saying? do you think it makes sense? (the picture is from the Internet to delete it)
