Ancestor’s Wisdom: ‘Poor People Don’t Visit Relatives, Rich People Don’t Return to Their Hometown’ – Four Proverbs Warn Future Generations
Old Ancestor: 'Poor people don't visit relatives, rich people don't return to their hometown' – these four proverbs warn future generations! / Written by Yanfei, we've known since childhood that 'If you don't listen to elders, you'll regret it' – this wisdom is often overlooked by our youthful arrogance, and we stubbornly pursue certain things even when we know they're wrong or ineffective. Later, after experiencing the consequences, we realize that the elders' words weren't without merit.
Sometimes it's even a life lesson. Today, the editor will bring you to see the great wisdom left by Old Ancestor! 'Poor people don't visit relatives, rich people don't return to their hometown' – on the surface, it seems cold-blooded, but in reality, it means that when you're poor, don't always go to relatives' houses for favors, or they'll look down on you. When you're rich, don't return to your hometown, because unfamiliar people will come to flatter you, which isn't genuine, but only to get you to do things for them. That's the meaning of 'Rich people don't return to their hometown'.

Heaven doesn't speak, and the earth doesn't boast. Truly capable people won't say anything, won't do anything, they'll be very polite and respectful to people and things. Only like heaven and earth, they never say they're high or thick. This makes them respected.

Not deaf, not blind, you're not qualified to be in charge. In life, we'll have friction with friends and spouses. If we get stuck on small problems, our lives will be unhappy. So we need to learn to turn a blind eye and use a tolerant attitude to resolve problems and conflicts. Life will be better that way.
Nothing is perfect. 'People have joys and sorrows, the moon has its phases of fullness and waning.' Everyone knows this. No one is perfect, and we shouldn't give up on ourselves because of a small setback. We must believe that we can accomplish our goals. We need to recognize our shortcomings and focus on our strengths.
