The ancients said that the root of all evil is lewdness. What does this "slutty" mean? It just means "lust". Zhu Dexiao comes first. As we all know, among all the beautiful things, filial piety is the first. This sentence is not difficult for everyone to understand. Instead, it is often misunderstood as the head of all evil.
Human lust is the primary evil? Isn't murder, arson, burglary less terrible than lust? What did the ancients think?
After consulting ancient books, I realized that the "obscenity" here is not the "obscenity" literally understood by modern people, but refers to desire. Of course, it is not a bad thing for people to have desires, but great things will happen if they indulge their desires too much.
Think carefully about people's desires and the serious consequences caused by excessive indulgence of desires. Without these desires, this kind of thing would not have happened.
There is a similar saying, "wealth can't be lewd." The word "lewdness" here is not literal, nor does it mean "lust", but means being content with money. Don't be greedy, but want to get more money. A gentleman loves money well. When he gets money through proper means, wealth will have a certain greed at a certain stage, so we should restrain greed in time to prevent going astray.
China has a profound culture and a long history. The meaning of ancient prose should be understood in combination with the previous background and the author's artistic conception, and can not be misinterpreted simply by the existing background.
