As the saying goes, "three treasures in life, an ugly wife breaks her cotton-padded jacket." What does it essentially reflect?

There is a popular saying in the north that life is three treasures, and an ugly wife wears a thin cotton-padded jacket. In essence, it reflects the important position of agriculture in social economy. "Three treasures in life, an ugly wife has a thin cotton-padded jacket." It reflects the characteristics of family-based natural economy, with land and self-sufficiency. In most cases, farmers have poor conditions and poor lives. It is said that there are "three treasures" in life-ugly wife, thin land and broken cotton-padded jacket. In a simple sentence, the simple life pursuit of China people who have been suffering for thousands of years has been exhausted. Although there are dialectical views on happiness, there is also helplessness.

The beauty of a woman is a gift from God. Beautiful appearance, docile personality, smooth skin and graceful posture are all men's aspirations, so that "beautiful car" and "beautiful house" have become personal goals. But I don't know when, having an ugly wife at home has become a fortune in a man's life.

The tradition that men love beautiful women and marry beautiful wives and concubines is probably derived from the example of emperors and princes. Xia Jie loved her sister, and the Shang and Zhou Dynasties entertained da ji all day long. Zhou Youwang, a "warrior", smiled at Bo, and the defeated monarch of the Three Dynasties was incompetent in governing the country, but he had a soft spot for beautiful women and even devoted himself to them. Can it be said that this is also the glory of human nature? Xi Shi is fortunate in the Wu Palace, The Story Of Diu Sim is famous in the Three Kingdoms, and he loves three thousand. Chen Yuanyuan can open ten thousand kinds of customs by himself. Who says the emperor is heartless? They are so crazy about a beautiful wife and concubine that they are willing to lose their lives. It's a pity that the envy in the bones of ordinary people has inherited their lewd fashion, but from the tragedy of national subjugation, we have seen the flood of femme fatale. Beauty is a great harm to the country.

In fact, it has nothing to do with the country for ordinary people to marry a beautiful wife, so there is no need to worry about "falling in love with the country". But I have a wife at home, and I have to worry about the obscene eyes and gossiping mouths of Ximen Qing and Wang Po. She should not only think about how much advantage she has for Wu Dalang, but also pay attention to her loneliness. Otherwise, if something happens, you will die. This is a serious practical problem, which makes people nervous all day. Beauty, there are hidden dangers at home.

In this way, men artificially reduce the secretion of androgen and weaken the pursuit of beauty. Although they always look forward to a beautiful woman, they still want an ugly wife and live a plain life. Of course, an ugly wife also has advantages. They have no distractions and no incentives outside, so they are devoted to their husbands and children. They work hard to maintain their families. Hong Liang and Meng Guangju took Qi Mei as an example, which became an eternal story; Some people say that if you are ugly, your IQ will be high. Zhuge Liang's wife is a talented woman, and Yanwu is famous for her patriotism. I guess it has something to do with nothing to worry about.

Land is the symbol of national imperial power and the foundation of existence. Not only heroes are obedient to it, but ordinary people are also full of affection for it. Zhong Er kowtowed to the land, Genghis Khan's fanatical desire to conquer the land, and Tang said goodbye to Xuanzang, with the message of "I would rather love an inch of land in my hometown than two thousand gold in other countries"; Peasant uprisings in past dynasties resulted in land distribution. When a wanderer leaves his hometown, there must be a homeland. Bit by bit, it is enough to prove that from the princes down to the Li people "love this land deeply."

The people of China are kind and simple. Their love for the land is not so great and noble. In their minds, land is the foundation of survival. They just want to keep a few minutes of fertile land and exchange their hard work for food. However, disasters will not befall the people because of their kindness. China's rapid regime change and frequent wars are rare in the world. The rise and fall of the people are bitter. The pain lies in the land that belongs to the king. The pain lies in one system and one system. In prosperous times, taxes are heavy, and many people go in troubled times. Every natural and man-made disaster, most of them are landless peasants who have left their homes and are hungry. Land is a matter of life and death. In the face of cruel reality, owning a piece of land of their own has become the greatest wish of ordinary people, and it is of course a treasure of life.

There is a woman at home who is "Ann", not to mention an ugly woman. There are three points of thin land at home, and several people have backers; Of course, you can't lack simple daily necessities at home. You should have pots, stoves, beds, clothes and pants. So in my mind, there appeared such a scene: the door was closed by heavy snow, the north wind was cold in the winter, and the poor people huddled in the corner of the bed wrapped in rags, desolate but safe. Broken cotton-padded jacket can be used as a quilt in spring and autumn, and it can also survive the cold. It is the most practical property for the poor. It is the most cruel and helpless choice to regard it as the treasure of life.

The times are developing, and now no one recognizes these three treasures. But I have always been impressed by the origin of the Three Treasures, which is the most real and basic life ideal of China people. Nowadays, the world is full of material desires, and both men and women are unscrupulously seeking the beauty in their hearts and pursuing formal material enjoyment. Temptation is everywhere, and life becomes enchanting, weird and turbulent. Family fission has become commonplace, and strange strange bedfellows is everywhere; A large number of enclosures lead farmers to lose their land and migrate, and the extreme desire for pleasure leads to unbridled and endless crimes.

Simplicity itself may be truth. From simple to complex and then to simple, this is an unchangeable cycle of human resources, and the noisy world will stop one day. I hope that we will not be forced to pick up the three treasures of life, but hope that we will take the initiative to pick up the three treasures of life.
