Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. "River" refers to the Yellow River, the "mother river" of the Chinese nation. "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi" is used to describe the rise and fall of personnel, which is unpredictable.
Hedong, which first appeared in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, was interpreted by historians as "Southwest Shanxi". Before the Yellow River was diverted, it was used to represent Yuncheng and Linfen in Shanxi. After the Yellow River was diverted, Hedong also represented the whole territory of Shanxi. Before Qin unified the six countries, it used to be Wei's territory. After Qin unified the six countries, Hedong County was set up, and its position became more obvious.

Some people think that this is south of the Yellow River before the diversion; Some people think that this is the east of the Yellow River after the diversion; Some people think that this refers to Hedong in Hedong County; Especially after the founding of New China, Hedong refers to thirteen counties and cities under the jurisdiction of Yuncheng City.
Common sayings and rivers
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, strictly speaking, should be regarded as a complex idiom. This idiom was first seen in Wu's Scholars. The original text is: Mr. Da, thirty years east, thirty years west.
Among them, Hedong Hexi refers to the Yellow River, the mother river of our Chinese nation. Wu used this sentence to talk about the Yellow River for two main reasons.
One is to divert the Yellow River, which is a metaphor for the fate of the world or people. It's always changing. Wealth comes and goes, there is no fixed number.
The second is to use this sentence to ridicule life, even with a hint of inexplicable hope. Maybe one day, by chance, everyone can become a powerful person?
It's just that most historians think that Wu, who was deeply hurt by feudal society and imperial examination system, didn't really think so, just talked about comforting him.
On the surface, it is full of hope for life, but in fact it has a strong color of feudal superstition. After all, no one can say for sure that things like "the tables have turned", so we have to hope for "the darkness".
Just like the diversion of the Yellow River, how do human resources determine the change of the Yellow River course? Don't say that the Qing dynasty couldn't do it. Even in modern society, it is also a great hero that attracts worldwide attention.
Fortunately, people's thinking has never stopped and has always been positive and optimistic. When the wheel of history rolled forward, the ancients gained another understanding from this proverb:
History is constantly advancing, and we can't look at everything with a static eye. Everything is dialectical, and we can't look at everything from the perspective of stories.
The Yellow River channel is used to describe the vagaries of life and satisfy countless people's beautiful imagination of the future.
What future generations should know is that although the Yellow River is known as the mother river of the Chinese nation. But every time the river is changed, it will bring great harm to the people.
This also indicates that the future life of each of us may not be as easy as people think.
Teenagers looked straight at them and said indignantly, thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west, we should let them know that a bright future is not to let nature take its course, but to do our best.
After all, changing life is never a simple project.
