What's so particular about the rural saying "seven don't go, eight don't return"?

Common saying? Seven don't go, eight don't return? It refers to seven moral codes for women and eight moral codes for men. After the wife meets these seven norms, the husband can't divorce her. If the husband can't do these eight norms, he will have no face to go home again. This proverb was decided by ancient people according to their own marriage life, so it was an applicable dogma in ancient times, but in modern times, people's minds are more open and there are not so many rules.

These seven female moral standards come from the story of Great Dress, childless, promiscuous, not waiting on uncles and aunts, talking, stealing, jealousy and illness. And then what? Seven don't go? It means that if a woman does one of these seven things as a wife, she is an incompetent wife, and if she can do these seven moral standards, she is a qualified wife. Therefore, a wife who can achieve these seven norms will not and cannot be abandoned by her husband. However, these provisions are actually inappropriate. After all, they were made by ancient people, which has some conflicts with modern life.

The eight principles of men are filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, righteousness, loyalty, honesty and shame. The ancients believed that this was the basis for a man to get married and start a career, so ancient men also took these eight points as their living standards. A man should respect his parents, take care of his wife and children at home, be kind to his friends and be honest with others outside. If there is one thing he can't do, then this man will have no face to face his family and friends.

Is this ancient? Seven don't go, eight don't return? Meaning of. Nowadays, this proverb actually has a positive impact on our lives. It can make people always remember their responsibilities and not break their upbringing and personality at will, so it can play a certain role in self-regulation, which is also the greatest benefit these proverbs bring us.
