What do you think of the Japanese proverb "Nail the hammer"?

There is a saying in the countryside: "Hammer eats nails, nails eat wood." Do you know why?

As one of the four ancient civilizations, China has a long history. After thousands of years of precipitation, many excellent traditional cultures have been passed down. These traditional cultures have been carried forward in the forest of world culture and become the pride of Chinese children. As a traditional folk culture, this idiom is deeply loved by farmers.

As for the origin of proverbs, it is said that they are summed up by the working people in our country according to their own life experience, hoping to be passed down from generation to generation for the benefit of future generations. Because it is catchy to read, it is deeply loved by many farmers and has been passed down to this day. For example, I believe many friends have heard the saying "the hammer eats the nail, and the nail eats the wood". Do you know what this means?

The hammer on the nail

Let's look at the first half of this proverb, "The hammer eats the nail". This hammer will hammer nails. Many friends will definitely look puzzled when they see this. Why? Why do you say that? Let's see what this means.

Hammer is a common tool and nail in our daily life. I believe many friends have seen it at home. Nails are hard, even sharp ones can scratch your hands. However, even if the nail is strong, it can only be hammered into the wall. So for a nail, it will be bound by a hammer, even if it is hard.

Nails gnaw at wood

? In the countryside, I believe many friends have seen such a scene: an old carpenter in the village, holding a hammer in one hand and nailing two nails in his ear in the other, is seriously concerned about furniture.

It is precisely because of the existence of nails and the superb skills of the old carpenter that pieces of ordinary wood eventually turned into pieces of very beautiful furniture and realized their own value. Although the wood is hard, there are still nails to nail it together for home furniture.

In fact, everything in the world is interdependent, which also constitutes a state of balance between everything, such as things, such as people. I believe that the reason why the older generation left this catchword is to tell us that there must be a way to overcome difficulties, not to be afraid of them.

Don't be afraid to meet someone who is particularly strong. One day, someone will conquer him. As the saying goes, "salty tofu is like a piece of tofu." 15, no matter how hard the nail is, there is also a hammer to contain it. No matter how hard the wood is, it is bound by nails and becomes exquisite and practical furniture. So don't be afraid of difficulties, there will always be a solution.

Having said that, I believe many friends have a certain understanding of the phrase "hammer eats nails, nails eat wood". Have you heard any other famous sayings? Please share with us in the comments section below and tell us your most impressive rural proverb.
