When it comes to the elderly, the first thing that may come to mind is those who play tai chi on the square, practicing boxing, dancing moncler outlet online, but without exception, many elderly people are more and more spiritual, which is a manifestation of the progress of the times, it can be said that the old people are one of our indispensable wealth.
As the saying goes, "If you don't listen to the old man, you'll lose out." The old people are getting older, and their bodies are not as good as they used to be, but the wealth they contain in their minds is beyond our reach.
In ancient times, when the medical level was not so developed, living to 50 years old has been considered an old man, and there was even a mediocre monarch set up a very ridiculous rule, which is called tile grave.
He stipulated that if a person is over 50 years old, he will be in a shape like a jar in the grave, the jar mouth is not sealed, children every day to send a meal, every meal, we must be in the mouth of a tile jar a brick, until later buried in the tomb of the old man alive.
Why set up this rule? Because at that time that the old man over 50 years old will not have the ability to work, for a nomadic people, the old people is completely a burden, until later people realized the preciousness of the old man, only to abolish this rule.
In fact, our ancestors for the elderly is very respect, many of our customs also emphasize this point, such as respect for the elderly and love the young etiquette, and there is also such a proverb circulated to tell us that the elderly should not do anything at these ages, this proverb is not planted in sixty, seventy do not do clothes, we take a look. What is the meaning of this proverb.
First of all, the first half of the sentence sixty do not plant trees, I believe we have heard the saying, ten years of trees, a hundred years of trees. That is to say if a tree wants to grow, then it takes at least ten years, ten years of time, for an elderly person, is very long.
I say at this age still want to plant a tree and the results, then may not see themselves, and planting a tree for anyone is a physical activity, for the elderly is even more inconvenient. So it is said that one should not do this kind of physical labor at the age of 60.
And seventy do not do clothes literally means very good understanding, that is, 70-year-old people, has not been suitable to do needlework, in this age old people have been old eyes, in doing needlework are very hard, more should not go to do needlework, but if the 70-year-old is still doing needlework, the side meaning is not to say that it is still worrying about the children?
In fact, the meaning of the second half of this sentence is to tell us, for the old people, we have to timely filial piety, do not let our old people in such an advanced age I am in our food, clothing, housing and transportation worry.
The two sayings together, in fact, the real meaning is not to admonish the old people to do what, but to tell us to respect the elderly, in fact, to exercise filial piety to their elders, do not let themselves to catch up with regret, because time is very fast, and sometimes in a blink of an eye will be over. I don't know what readers know about the exercise of filial piety sayings, welcome to comment and share with below.
