What does it mean to have no dutiful son before bed and no good wife at home for a long time?

People who live in poverty don't ask, those who live in the mountains have distant relatives.

There is no dutiful son before a long bed, and there is no good wife and son before a poor parent's bed. This is to describe the relationship between parents and children in a family. That is, if the parents at home have been sick, the time of illness will be over, and even the filial son can't stand it, and then he will become unfilial. In other words, it is a very hard thing to take care of people who have been ill for a long time, even if the sick people are their parents. Actually, this is a common saying.

No one asked the neighbors who lived in poverty. When the rich live in the mountains with distant relatives and the poor, if you are a rich and powerful person, even if none of your relatives live in the mountains, someone will come to visit relatives and bring their relatives in person. If you are poor, even if you live in a busy street, no one will take care of you, let alone know you there.

Second, money is like dirt, and righteousness is precious.

It means that money and finance are worthless, and kindness and justice are more valuable than money. In the past, kindness and justice were regarded as the highest standards of a person. Compared with benevolence, money is nothing. One can't abandon righteousness for money. From a secular point of view, everyone loves money, and money is extremely important in people's eyes now, even surpassing benevolence and righteousness.

This sentence tells us that money is worthless in the face of "benevolence and righteousness". Not everything can be bought with money. A gentleman should pay more attention to righteousness and have the spirit of giving up his life for righteousness.

Third, it is easy to meet each other, but difficult to stay for a long time.

That is to say, it is easier, simpler and better to get along when we first met, but it is more difficult to get along because we have known each other for a long time. Relatives and friends who haven't seen each other for a long time are enthusiastic at the first meeting, but they will be embarrassed if they live at home for a long time. This wise article reminds us to be considerate of others and retreat after knowing the benefits.
