From Ji Bolun's prose poem "Sand and Foam"-the difference between the richest man and the poorest man is only a day's hunger and an hour's thirst. A good poem is just because it has no meaning or too deep meaning, and everyone's understanding is different. Humble opinion: the acquisition and amount of wealth reflects the past virtue of the owner; How to use wealth can better reflect the current moral standards and future trends of users. The richest man can starve all day, or he experienced such hunger before becoming the richest man, but the poorest man can't endure thirst for an hour, or he becomes the poorest man because he has no ability to resist thirst.
I dare not take the liberty to define the original intention of the sages. It is purely personal understanding and is for reference only. I hope I can help you.
