First, it is not easy to think about a porridge and a meal; It is difficult to keep thinking about material resources.

Second, you should plan ahead and not dig wells when you are thirsty. Don't wait until it rains to remember to repair the house; Don't wait until you are thirsty to dig a well.

Third, self-help must be frugal, and banquets must not stay. To live at home, we must be thrifty. Even if you are entertaining friends and relatives, you should do what you can. Don't be afraid of losing face, afraid of extravagance and waste, which will lead to our life and death.

Fourth, three aunts and six grandmothers are the media of prostitution and theft; Beautiful girls and concubines are not the blessings of the boudoir.
