What does the rural saying "the front door is not bright, and the backyard is not bright" mean?

Literally speaking, it is easy to understand that if the front door is not lit, the back door is not lit. In fact, the front door refers to the way parents do things, and the back door refers to the way children learn from their parents. If you want your children to grow up, you need to set a good example for them. Otherwise, even a good family will fail sooner or later. It is easy to start a business, but difficult to keep it. If the family wants to do well, it needs the lights in the front yard and the lights in the backyard.

As the elders of the same family, we should also set a good example for the younger generation, so that the family can flourish. There are many old proverbs in it. For example, they often listen to the elders at home to educate our older generation and say, "Set an example and don't let the younger generation see jokes."
