There is a saying in the countryside, what does it mean to lose people when the house is tiled?
China has a long history of civilization. It has been handed down from China's ancestors for thousands of years. China's culture is profound, and sometimes a word can have different meanings. There are many proverbs in different places and cultures, especially in rural areas. Let's get to know them today? Tile the house and the money will be gone? This proverb.
Tile the house and the money will be gone? Literally, it is like an architectural sentence, which means that adding tiles to a house will lead to the loss of property and the failure of the population. This sentence literally means this, but in fact it hides another meaning, that is: if there is one more girl in the family, the property will be gone, and the daughter will become someone else's. Why do you say that? Because in ancient times, when you gave birth to a daughter, others would use it. Fun to play with tiles? Congratulations to the host, so tile represents the daughter. When a daughter grows up and gets married, she can't stay at home and wait on her parents. Therefore, many people will think that giving birth to a daughter means giving birth to a product that loses money and helping others raise their daughters for nothing.
China has a preference for sons over daughters since ancient times, especially in rural areas. Of course, not all rural people are like this, but most of the older generation will have this idea. They think that when a daughter is born, she spends her family's money, but she can't add population to her family, nor can she pass on the fragrance of her family. But when they are old, they will marry someone else's house, so in their hearts, girls have no status and are worthless, so they have it? Tile the house and the money will be gone? This proverb.
Generally, the scales of these patriarchal people are tilted, and their scales will be more tilted to their sons. They will buy a house and a car for their son, but not for their daughter. What's more, they will ask for a high-priced bride price when their daughter gets married, and then leave it all to their son without taking a penny back to her husband's family. In Bian Xiao's mind, children are all the same. Filial children are good to their parents. If they are not filial, it is useless to their sons and daughters. Treat children rationally and fairly, and don't be too partial to one. If you can't do it, don't have a son just to have a son.
