Is it reasonable to say that "wealth does not increase women and poverty does not increase women"? Does having children have anything to do with wealth?

China has a cultural history of more than 5,000 years and is one of the four ancient civilizations. With the passage of time, the ancients left us many cultural relics, sites and cultures, such as Tang poetry and Song poetry. Many of them are catchy and well-known, but what really spreads among the people is folk culture. As the treasure of China traditional culture, proverbs are most popular because they are not only easy to understand, but also have been applied by the society.

The sentence I shared with you today: the rich don't add women, and the poor don't add women. This sentence is literally easy to understand. The previous sentence said that if there are many children at home, don't have any more boys. If the family is too poor to survive, don't have girls. What is the truth? It's normal to have boys and girls. How can it be related to family conditions? This is related to the ancient social background. In the past, rich families had many children and there was no shortage of boys. If boys are added, there will be pressure, because boys have to get married and build houses no matter how rich they are, which is not a small expense.

If a rich family has three or four sons, it means that all three or four sons will pay money to marry the house in the future. Who can afford to raise more sons? Don't say that in rural areas, in our present society, city people feel great pressure when they have two sons at home. So people in ancient rural areas were afraid of their sons coming, so wealth is not expensive, but this proverb has another meaning.

There are many boys at home, so it will be very troublesome to divide the property in the future. Brothers may not be harmonious. For example, the ancient emperor was rich and powerful, and had many sons, but the throne could only be passed on to one person, so the brothers fought with each other and finally won that person and killed all their brothers. There are too many such things in history, and it is not a good thing to have more sons.

The second sentence is the same, that is, the poor lose when they have daughters. If they are brought up and married, they must be given a dowry. If they are poor, they will have no money and have more daughters. Isn't that what it is? In fact, this is the basis for the rich and the poor to stand on their own positions. If these two proverbs are reversed, the rich will have more daughters and the poor will have more children. Rich daughters are not afraid to be born in many places, and they can also prepare more dowry for their daughters when they get married.

The poor have several sons, and the farm work at home has also been done, so that there is enough food and clothing at home. Isn't that a good thing? However, not everyone can decide whether to have a boy or a girl. Although B-ultrasound can be found out now, the state also stipulates that it is not allowed to be made public, regardless of gender, as long as the child is healthy.

As the saying goes, it is also said from the standpoint of the ancients. Now that the society is open-minded and the economic conditions are getting better and better, I won't think so much. Just listen to the old saying, just be happy.
