As the saying goes, "don't train your son before meals, and don't train your wife before going to bed." What do you mean?

We all know that the Chinese nation has a long history of five thousand years. During this long period, our ancestors left us many reasonable proverbs, which can make people get along more harmoniously, such as "Don't train children before meals, don't train wives before going to bed". So what does this proverb mean? Let's read it separately.

First of all, the first half of the sentence is "Don't train children before meals". This sentence is actually very easy to understand, that is, don't scold the child before eating. We all know that children are growing up, so nutrition is very important to them. If you reprimand your child before a meal, it may make your child feel bad and make him eat badly, which will affect his health and development over time. That's why our ancestors left the phrase "no training before meals".

The second half of the sentence "Don't train your wife before going to bed" is also easy to understand. Don't scold your wife before going to bed, because it will affect your mood and sleep. As we all know, sleep is very important for a person's health, and quarreling with his wife before going to bed will affect two people's mood, and may even lead to two people's poor rest and affect their health. Quarrel at night is also bad for the rest of the family, so what can be done during the day?

Everything can't go smoothly in life, but you should choose the time to lose your temper. As the saying goes, don't reprimand the children who made mistakes before eating; If you have a problem with your wife, don't choose to quarrel before going to bed, which will affect your body and feelings. I have to say that the words of the older generation are reasonable. This sentence "Don't train children before meals, don't train wives before going to bed" is also a suggestion for adults to maintain family harmony.
