Qing Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions" for the fifth time. The general idea of this sentence is: don't suffer from poverty in old age all your life. When people get old, their energy is exhausted, they can't do anything, and their ability to resist external hardships is greatly weakened. If they suffer from poverty again at this time, they will be tortured and miserable mentally and physically. This sentence can be used to explain that it is unfortunate to suffer from poverty in old age; It can also be used to explain that when you are young, you can't do nothing or waste pleasure, so that you will suffer from poverty when you are old.

Miao Shu is not allowed to eat much tax, and the official warehouse is turned into soil. Famous sayings about poverty
Wild Old Songs by Tang Zhangji. Lose: pay, give. Due to natural disasters, the crops in the field are sparse, and the taxes are extremely heavy. All the limited grain harvested in autumn should be used to pay the rent and sent to the official warehouse, leaving it to rot and turn into dust, while I have no food and clothing. The poem uses plain language and strong contrast to show the heavy rent and taxes and the poor people. The contrast between "Miao Shu" and "excessive taxes", and the contrast between "no food" and "turning to earth" all strengthen the expression effect, revealing the heavy taxes and the hardships of working people's living conditions more and more profoundly. It can be used to show the extremely poor living conditions of farmers in the old society.
The Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ji's "Wild Old Songs"
belongs to other people, and I don't know where to leave my wife.
the farmer's father by don Zhang Bi. I have been working hard all the year round, and as a result, all the food collected in the field is used to pay the rent, which makes it impossible for the family to maintain a minimum living, and even it is difficult for them to survive, and their wives and children don't know where to throw it. It can be used to reflect the cruel exploitation and extreme poverty of the working people in the old society.

for dinner we had to pick wild herbs, and to use dry locust-leaves for our kindling.
Tang Yuan Zhen's Mourning for My Sadness. Gump: It tastes sweet. Huo Huo (Huo Huo): Bean leaf. Yang: rely on. The main idea of these two sentences is to pick some wild vegetables such as bean leaves to satisfy the hunger, and feel the taste is sweet, and add some fallen leaves for firewood, all by that ancient locust tree. This is Yuan Zhen's recollection of living in poverty with his dead wife in those years. Between the lines, there is a deep admiration for his dead wife's contentment in poverty. The situation reflected in these two poems is similar to that in Du Xunhe's "Widow in the Mountain", "When picking wild vegetables and boiling roots, burning firewood and leaves". The latter is a direct account of the miserable life of working people, and the former also reflects a life attitude of being poor and happy. When reading works or reflecting life, we should pay attention to this similarity and difference.
Yuan Zhen, a poet in the Tang Dynasty,
For many years, the cloth was as cold as iron, and the charming child was lying down and cracking.
Tang Du Fu's "The Cottage is Broken by Autumn Wind". He: (q Ρ n Qin): quilt. Evil (wwu) lying: I hate sleeping and don't want to sleep. A rag that has been covered for years is as cold as iron. The unreasonable jiao-er didn't want to lie in the cold and hard quilt, kicking and kicking at random, and kicking the quilt lining. Through the vivid detail description of "Jiao Er's evil lying", the poem not only vividly depicts the childish movements of an ignorant child who refuses to get into the cold bed, but also makes us see that the poet's life has fallen into a very poor situation.
Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu's Song of Cottage Broken by Autumn Wind
I have no land to eat and break the inkstone, and the inkstone will never be worn out. Poverty famous saying
Song Su Shi's "The Second Rhyme of Kong Yifu". Eating broken inkstone: eating by a broken inkstone means living only by writing. Erlai: Recently. I have no land or wealth in my life, and I only rely on a broken inkstone to make a living, but recently even the broken inkstone has dried up and I can't grind ink. The author has never been involved in industry all his life, and he only makes a living by writing poems and articles. Later, he was demoted again and again, and the situation was even more difficult. He was depressed and even couldn't write poems and articles. This is what the author wants to confide in, but he expresses it in symbolic language, such as "the inkstone is broken by eating" and "the inkstone is worn out", which gives abstract thoughts a vivid and tangible image. This writing method can give us useful enlightenment. It can be used to describe the plight of frustrated intellectuals.

Poverty is not a shame, but being ashamed of poverty is a shame. The British historian Tho Fuller
got nothing but "poverty". Shakespeare, an English Renaissance playwright and poet
Only poverty can force skills, and it is the teacher of labor. The ancient Greek poet Te Aucry Toth
ate sparingly, drank water, bent his arms and rested on his pillow, and enjoyed himself. Famous sayings about poverty
The Analects of Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period. Rice: Use as a verb to eat. Sparse food: coarse food. Brachial (gong): the part of the arm from shoulder to elbow, which generally refers to the arm here. Eating coarse grains, drinking white water and bending your arms as pillows are also fun. Confucius confessed that he was content with a poor life, not greedy for wealth. Although his living conditions were very difficult, he could have fun in his study. Now it can be used to describe some people who are content with a hard living environment.

A gentleman can live in the world. He hates clothes and coarse food and works hard, so he can lose nothing.
Qing Yan Yuan's Chronicle of Mr. Yan Xizhai, the suicide note of Yan Li. Scholar's way: a man of moral integrity. Gump: willingly. S: I see. Mistake: a fault, a mistake. A gentleman's attitude towards life is that he is willing to wear inferior clothes, eat humble meals, and work hard, so that there will be no mistakes. These words are required as the moral standards of a gentleman, which are of positive significance from the perspective of persuading people to live diligently and restrain material desires, but the idea of being content with poverty and not seeking to improve material living standards is not enough.
Yan Yuan, a thinker and educator in the early Qing Dynasty, wrote a Chronicle of Mr. Yan Xizhai, a suicide note of Yan Li.
