What does the rural proverb "there are maggots in the toad sauce in the well and sand in the rice" mean?

To some extent, these old national proverbs are also reasonable. Although we young people know very little about them, we should know more because we know very little about them.

What does the country mean when it says "there are maggots in the well and sand in the rice"? In fact, his meaning is very simple and clear. If there are toads in the well, do you want to drink the water from the well? If there are maggots in pickles, do you want to eat them? Would you be happy if you could eat the grains of sand in the rice? I'm afraid many young people can't give a reasonable answer to this question because they have never experienced such a difficult period at all. Since there is no, the so-called feelings are nothing. It's really hard to know the past, in the countryside, in the countryside, in the older generation.

For southerners, villagers can use a well in the village. If the water in the well is poisonous, it will not only hurt the family, but also hurt the whole village. Although such things rarely happen, many villagers frown when carrying water. For example, picking a bucket of water with toads is disgusting. But at that time, for the older generation in the village, they were not used to it. They took the toad out and threw it away. Drink water as usual, and pickles pickled by farmers are prone to maggots. Although our modern young people sound disgusting, they are not used to it. At that time, the older generation still ate such food in order to avoid food waste.

Toads like to live in the humid environment of wells. If the living conditions in the well are suitable, there will be toads in the natural well, and the sauce we often eat is often made of moldy and fermented food raw materials. It is inevitable that maggots will be produced when mildew lasts for a long time. In addition, maggots are non-toxic and are the main components of the sauce. So is the moldy tofu you often eat. The more moldy, the better the taste.

When we understand this, we will know the meaning of this sentence and be taught not to be too hard on people. It is also a virtue to allow others to say the wrong thing.
