Gold is hard to meet in ten years, but spring is hard to meet in a hundred years.

It means that there is no chance to fill a bucket of gold in ten years. It describes the difficulties for ordinary people to accumulate wealth, and that in one hundred years, the Spring Festival rarely overlaps with beginning of spring. This is a metaphor, and this kind of coincidence day is rare.

This sentence is a folk proverb passed down from ancient times.

The understanding of "it is hard to meet a golden man in ten years" refers to the "Golden Man" Day.

The "once in ten years" here actually describes some situations that take a long time and can only be encountered for a long time. The literal meaning of "golden bucket" is that the bucket is full of gold, which generally describes the accumulation of wealth and is very rich. This actually refers to a more auspicious day.

Understanding of "Once in a Hundred Years": Catch up with beginning of spring during the Spring Festival.

In fact, the "Spring Festival" here means that the first day of the first month coincides with the beginning of the spring solar term. Because some places will call beginning of spring "Spring Festival", and every year is one year old, so catching up with beginning of spring on the first day of the first month is called "Spring Festival".

Extended data:

The first sentence of "It's hard to meet a golden man in ten years, but it's hard to meet a spring in a hundred years" means that today is a lucky day, and the second sentence means that catching up with beginning of spring on the first day of the first month of the first month, that is, the New Year and beginning of spring are celebrated on the same day, which is often a lucky day once in a hundred years.

Beginning of spring usually appears during the Spring Festival and China New Year, but it rarely happens at the same time. Therefore, "New Year's Eve" is generally rare.

After all, few cities in 24 solar terms start from the first day of the first month. For example, the latest occurrence time should be 1992, which coincides with the solar terms in beginning of spring. Next year's "Spring Festival" will wait until 2038, because February 4, 2038, the first day of the first lunar month, coincides with the solar terms in beginning of spring.

Therefore, although "once in a hundred years" is exaggerated, it also shows that "New Year's Eve is a rare day, and it is difficult for a person to meet several times in his life, so it is generally considered as a lucky day and will be described as" once in a hundred years "!
