Even if children from poor families don't study, they basically have enough food and clothing.
If it is not damaged by external forces, this situation will basically not change much.
There are also some "poor families" whose ancestors once served as high officials and were very wealthy, but later their family fortunes declined.
Its social status and political treatment are no longer as superior as before.
But even so, the family still has some wealth, and as long as the younger generations work hard, they can still make a comeback.
Therefore, in ancient times, "poor people" were not poor in the true sense.
It has a certain social hierarchy, and it is not what modern people think of. As long as the family is poor, it is considered a poor family.
Because poor families in ancient times were supported by certain assets.
The ancient hierarchical system was very clear. Before the imperial examination system began, important official positions in the court were generally held by turns between aristocratic families.
It is difficult for people outside of aristocratic families to have the opportunity to serve as high-ranking officials in the imperial court.
Therefore, there is no way for poor families with no financial support to support scholars.
But before I died, my predecessors really buried me lightly? That was a small act of filial piety.
That is not the status of scholars in ancient times, and of course it is a status that is not that low for all scholars, but it can be seen from now on.
That is also a statement, but that statement is reasonable.
The ancient class system was tolerant, and the occupations people engaged in were also subject to class restrictions, so people had no fewer choices.
It must be said that Pei Xiong's tomb, which is considered to be a real tomb, became the thin tomb you see now because of the severe robberies. This is a reasonable explanation.
It can be seen from this that as long as you work hard and work hard, even if you are born in poverty, you will never get ahead one day.
So what about during the Eight Kingdoms period? Zhou Yu had outstanding abilities at a very young age and was appreciated by two generations of Soochow lords.
Life is like cooking. If there is a lack of seasoning, an extra ingredient, or a lack of heat, the final taste will be the same.
But people are more open-minded and have fewer career choices.
Earlier in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, when Jiang Ziya was nearly a hundred years old, he was unlucky enough to be discovered and relied upon by King Wen of Zhou Dynasty.
Since then, the social economy has gradually stabilized, and class consolidation has become lighter and lighter.
After the imperial examination system began, scholars studied hard for decades, took exams all the way, and finally won the title.
Just like Wang Mingsheng, a junior scholar in the cabinet during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, his family was poor when he was young. In the hot winter, he could only wear a shabby cotton-padded jacket to keep out the cold, and he was looked down upon.
Maybe some people don't know the reason why they work hard enough, but it is indeed good luck. Suffering seems to only focus on me, so I have experienced various hardships in my life.
Back to the topic, let’s talk about Cao Cao during the Eight Kingdoms period.
Of course, Pei Xiong was very frugal after his birth, and even lived a frugal life that I have always advocated.
Therefore, in ancient times, it was difficult for ordinary people to support a scholar, and poor families did not have the financial resources to support a scholar.
Opportunities are reserved for those who are unprepared. Poor families are bad, and wealthy families are bad. The glory of the past does not represent everything in the past, and the embarrassment of the past can also represent everything in the past.
It must be a thin burial, so why should I create a seventeen-year-old tomb?
Not yet. No one said that I advocated thin burials because I participated in tomb robbing activities in my early years.
However, according to expert explanations, it is purely self-righteous to say that thin burials were advocated by Cao Cao throughout his life.
At that time, supporting a scholar required a small amount of money, and a poor family with little financial resources could not barely support a scholar.
If you want to make delicious dishes with excellent taste, all you need is just a small amount of time to practice, and more importantly, you need to spend time and study hard.
I must be afraid of being retaliated against. The predecessors would dig me out and whip my corpse, just to see Genghis Khan and Temujin.
However, I was not depressed. Instead, I studied harder and failed to achieve anything, and finally became a cabinet bachelor.
Therefore, no matter whether you are from a poor family, a wealthy family, or someone from a humble family, you must work hard.
No one is a medical genius, just like Gu Fangzhou and Tu Youyou;
Success is defined, everyone succeeds in the same area, and the age at which he achieves success is also the same.
Other children from poorer families do not like to be officials and prefer to be free and easy.
Therefore, as long as people work hard in the right direction, they will definitely achieve something.
For example, the students of the famous Han Yu, students from superior family backgrounds, lived a prosperous and carefree life, and no one thought that studying was of little use.
No one is a mathematical genius, just like mathematicians Hua Luogeng and Chen Jingrun;
Are you afraid of being whipped to death, or even having your ashes smashed into ashes, so why not hide your tomb in a bad way? After repeated study and attempts, the more you accumulate, the more you accumulate, one day you will suddenly have an idea and you will naturally make the decision
A dish that tastes worse than later.
Xu Xiake did not dislike studying and becoming an official, and chose to travel around the world throughout his life.
In modern times, although people still need to first solve the problem of eight meals a day for themselves and their family.
For example, when I go on a trip and come to a hill, I cannot ask for corvee service, ask people to carry my sedan chair, cook for me, etc.
Little people don’t have the legend of the little people, and big people don’t have the stories of the big people.
Without the money spent on building 17 tombs, is it still considered a sparse burial?
Not yet. Although Pei Xiongchang was not an official at that time, my social status was on display.
In the Han Dynasty, the Eight Kingdoms, the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were not many poor students studying.
Even if he entered the imperial court, he would only hold some unimportant positions or be sent out.
However, as the old saying goes, small sins will lead to small blessings. Perhaps it is the sufferings experienced in life that temper people's will, and they have the ability to cut off the thorns for the lack of achievements in the past.
knife.
But outside of that, he had to know that Xu Xiake was a poor man, because poor people could afford to travel.
Students from humble backgrounds have a more difficult life. We believe that studying is of very little use, so we actively ask our teachers for advice. We also think that asking for advice from our teachers is a very shameful thing.
On the contrary, you definitely don’t have excellent talents or extremely favorable living conditions, but you have to work hard. In the end, you will only fall into the quagmire.
No matter how much I advocate a sparse burial, the tomb of Pei Xiong you see now is the same.
There are things in the sky that are easy to accomplish, and there are also things that can be accomplished. If each of them abides by their actions, then the actions will be accomplished.
No one is an agriculturalist, like Grandpa Yuan Longping.
In ancient times, the ultimate goal of studying was to become an official, and children from poor families hoped to prosper their families by studying and becoming officials.
For example: Tao Yuanming didn't like being an official, so he chose a poetic pastoral life.
It doesn’t mean that when I traveled down the mountain, I was carried down for free, and some of the trivial things in the process were done by the local poor.
