"A man never abandons the road, but a tiger never abandons the mountain" comes from:
1. Chapter 16 of "Shi Gongan" by Anonymous Qing Dynasty: "As the saying goes: 'A man never abandons the road, but a tiger never abandons the mountain'" "Everyone will go to Maozhou in the future." 2. Part 7 of Zhang Mengliang's "Children's Journey": "People never leave the road, and tigers never leave the mountains." Can you still escape with your house on your back?"
3. There is a saying that "people never leave the road, tigers never leave the mountains, and opera singers never leave Baishun Hanjiatan".
Extended information:
There is a custom called "Ci Lu", that is, knowing that one's days are running out, one has to move around and untie all the knots that can be untied. When you are about to die, you can't hold it in your heart. Just like the ancients said, "When a person is about to die, his words are also good."
Quote: A man never abandons a road, and a tiger never abandons a mountain; if you keep a favor, it will be easier to meet again later.
For example:
At the beginning of the 20th century, many Shandong people went to the Northeast to "break through the Guandong". When they got old, they felt that their bodies were getting worse and worse, so they would do it for themselves. To prepare for future generations, some elderly Shandong people traveled thousands of miles to return to Shandong, unwilling to die in a foreign country. If they died in a foreign country, they would have knots in their hearts until they died, so when they came back, this can be called "resignation". It is to untie the knot in my heart so that I will have no regrets before I die.
