There is a saying behind "the poor don't plow and die". what did you say ? It can be said that it is a wise saying.

The next sentence is "starve to death and don't go into the radish garden" because eating too many radishes is bad for your health and stealing radishes is bad for your spine, so people say so.

The ancients said that these proverbs were summed up from their own experience, and more often they were described in some popular and concise languages. These proverbs are often circulated by later generations, and can also be regarded as predecessors planting trees to enjoy the cool. After listening to these old sayings, people can know what to do and what not to do.

And this proverb is to warn future generations not to go into the radish garden if they are hungry. The first reason is that radish is an appetizer. Eating this when you are hungry will not only make you feel full, but will make you more and more hungry. Isn't that counterproductive? Moreover, this radish is a cold food with a lot of water and is easy to cause edema. If a person is too hungry to eat this radish, it is likely to hurt his health and even endanger his life.

Another reason is that ancient people felt that they could not steal even if they starved to death, which would make them particularly spineless. If you walk into a radish garden, you are starving, and you will definitely want to eat it. But once you squat down, with this intention of stealing radishes, it already constitutes theft. If you are seen at this time, even if you don't intend to steal, you will be accused of theft. In the end, it is very likely that you didn't steal the radish, and you got a bad reputation for stealing it.

It stands to reason that you don't go into the radish garden just to prevent yourself from eating bad health or bad reputation. It can be seen that proverbs are not made by the ancients, but are well-founded.
