Our Chinese culture is one of the richest, most extensive, most profound, most brilliant and oldest cultures in the world. The common sayings circulating among the people are one of them. These common sayings have been passed down from ancient times to the present. The biggest feature is that they are easy to understand, popular and very practical.
1. Don’t do it, don’t stop
Comment: Some things are either not done. Once you do it, you must stick to it and never give up halfway. It is indeed true that you think twice before acting, but as long as you make a decision, you must act immediately and don’t hesitate.
2. Horses are afraid of riding, people are afraid of forcing
Comment: Only after horses are trained and people are forced can they stimulate their potential. In fact, each of us has infinite potential, but we haven't reached that point. There is a joke that goes: "If there is a tiger chasing behind us, everyone may become the world champion."
3. Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao
Comment: The size of the nail and Mao head must be exactly the same in order to be assembled and firm. If you want to do things well, you must strive for excellence and not be careless at all.
4. Crows come, disasters come
Comment: People believe that crows are ominous birds. If crows come to their homes and call, then this family may have suffered disasters recently.
5. Magpie screams, happy events come to
Comment: Folk legend says that magpies can report good news, which is a bird that symbolizes auspiciousness. "There will be guests in front of the magpie hall soon." If a magpie chirps at the door of the house, it indicates that this guest will be there and there will be happy events.
6. The wine should be full, the tea should be shallow
Comment: There is also a saying among the people that "the cup is full of seven tea, rice, and eight wine is full of wine", which means it is almost the same. That is to say, when pouring wine for guests at the banquet, you must pour it overflow to show your sincerity to the guests. The opposite is true when pouring tea. If you have to pour it lighter, it is enough to have seven-minute fullness. It is also a respect for the guests, because the tea is hot and it is easy to burn the guests if it is too full, which is embarrassing.
7. Trivial, not worth mentioning
Comment: There is an allusion for this saying: In the past, there were two families, one sold chickens and the other sold garlic. The chicken feathers of the chickens often flew to the garlic-selling house, and the garlic-selling houses often flew to the chickens. The two families often quarreled over this matter, and later went to the county government to file a lawsuit. In order to teach the people of the county, the county magistrate said, "What's the point of being trivial? Each one beats ten rules and reflect on one's own attention."
This sentence is to persuade everyone to be more tolerant and tolerant in dealing with people and not be petty about some irrelevant trivial matters, so that everyone can live in harmony.
8. Having an old family is like a treasure
Comment: Many people think that it is useless when people get old. In fact, it is not the case. The elderly have a lot of experience, broad knowledge, and rich life experience. They are the treasure of the family and the treasure of society.
9. Good fortune comes unparalleled, but misfortunes never come alone.
Comment: Good things rarely come one after another, because when people encounter good things, they are prone to be happy and proud; unlucky things often come one after another, because after people are unlucky, they often feel panic and blame others.
10. Not a family, don’t enter the family.
Comment: People who can live in the same family have more or less similarities, such as personality, hobbies, temper, appearance, etc.
