Why did the ancients often say, "Cold Mo depends on the lamp, but the poor can't vote for relatives"? Does this still work?

There is an old proverb called Cold Mo depends on the lamp, and poverty depends on relatives! That is to say, don't go near the fire or lamp when it is very cold, and don't go near relatives when you are poor!

Cold Mo relies on this lamp.

In fact, there was an allusion about Cold Mo's dependence on lamps at the earliest, that is, in the Song Dynasty, there was a beggar who was penniless and shivering in the cold winter. Instead, he saw a bright lamp in the street, and a beggar and a woman had a small stove. Freezing to death, he immediately went over and held a bright lamp to keep warm by the fire. But it didn't take long for the lights to go out, and the charcoal like fire had been burned out. And this man died quickly without lights and fire!

Lights bring warmth.

This case actually tells us that when you are very cold or very cold, don't go near places that are too hot and warm, because that will make you have a serious temperature difference and not adapt to the cold environment!

The poor depend on their relatives.

Don't be poor near relatives. In fact, this sentence first came from the mouth of the Han people. In other words, when you are desperate and extremely poor, you must not accept the relief from your relatives and friends, because once you accept their relief and help, you will become less independent and unable to survive independently. Of course, this truth tells us that if we want to live a better life, only by working hard can we create a better life of our own!
