The origin of this poem: In the late Qing Dynasty, gambling became more and more popular. A young man was addicted to gambling and never changed his mind. His father was miserable, so he wrote a poem "Don't gamble" for him to read again and again. The young man suddenly realized after reading it, so he repented and turned over a new leaf.
Many ancient poems vividly described the plight of gamblers who lost their homes and clothes because of wanton gambling. A Qing poet Huang wrote: "I gave my house to others, so I cherish my grandfather's land." . Tears poured down the room, and it was too hard to get married. Go out to stall, smoke-free cooking for lunch. "
A Qing poet Wu Wenhui once wrote a poem "The Gambler": "When people call each other, the charm of the wild fox is not cool. They gambled on several poor families in a row, learning from the past. " Gambling in the poem is more cruel than wild foxes, and the last sentence is like a wake-up call.
The Song of Quitting Gambling written by A Qing Dynasty Wu Yi even described the harm of gambling: "Don't gamble, don't gamble, gambling is more harmful than tigers, sometimes tigers don't hurt, and gambling is all lost!" Don't gamble. Gambling is only harmful, but never fun. Wife and children are separated and ruined, and finally a rope is put around their necks. Gambling loses money to be a thief, and it is ruined: gambling loses money and grabs, and it is heavily shackled; Even killing people for gambling, fighting, and killing each other mercilessly; Even both sides died, the bed and the room were covered with blood, and the children cried and shocked their neighbors ",which vividly described the tragic ending of gambling.
In ancient times, there were anecdotes to persuade people to ban gambling by painting. Li Yi, one of the eight eccentrics in Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, sent a painting to persuade his friend Li Fa to quit gambling. The inscription was: "My husband gambled red outside, but his wife stared at home; The two children are hungry and dizzy, and the rope buckle on the beam is open. " Li Fa was deeply educated after reading, and turned over a new leaf and became a popular story.
