Have you ever heard such a sentence in your daily life? "It is better to go one thousand north than to move a brick south", what does the sentence mean? Why did ancient people have such thinking concepts, and what kind of philosophy of life is extended behind this sentence? Let’s learn about it today.
"I would rather go north one thousand than move a brick south" Many friends are confused when they see this sentence, because according to today's society, the south is a better place than the north in terms of climate, environment and economic development, but why did ancient people rather go north 1,000 steps than move south half a step? There are actually historical reasons for this.
First of all, in the eyes of the ancients, the conditions in all aspects of the north were very good, the animal husbandry industry was developed, and the capital was mostly in the north, so the economy there was better, and people's lives were relatively rich, so people usually went out to explore the north first, and the transportation was inconvenient in the south, and the climate in the north was dry, so agriculture was also very developed, so people were more willing to go to the north to seek development.
The climate conditions in the south at that time were very bad, and Miscity was brimming with miasma. As outsiders, they could not adapt to the local climate environment at all. Therefore, the ancients felt that the south was not suitable for people to explore, and the ancients believed that coastal cities like Guangdong and Fujian were full of dangers, and the people there were also very barbaric and could not get close to them casually. For these reasons, a common saying has been spread, "Flying south through clothes".
But this sentence no longer applies with the times. Since , the Song Dynasty , the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were occupied by the invaders, those barbaric invaders did not need to pass , Great Wall to snatch the people's food and property at will, which is very scary. In order to avoid the war, people began to migrate to the south slowly, and called this kind of migration from the north to the south developing event , the southward transition . It is precisely because of the arrival of northerners who are good at agriculture and animal husbandry that the population and economic development of the south have been improved. Nanfan has gradually become a new economic center and is now rich and developed.
As the times change, many things may change. The rich and developed north was no longer loved by people because of war, but the poor and dangerous south has become a new and prosperous place. It is the choice of the times and a process that people are constantly adapting to. So how do you understand this sentence?
