What are the old rural sayings "four cleanness, four urgency and four ugliness"?

First of all, the four clean-ups refer to the girl's room, the monk's bed, the table of the Eight Immortals and the newly painted wall.

I don't need to say much about the girls' room. In ancient times, women were generally very hardworking and kept their rooms clean and tidy. The monk's bed is because the monk devotes himself to the Buddha, keeping his heart clean and free from any evil thoughts.

The table of the Eight Immortals is because everyone gathers at the same table to eat, which will definitely clean the table of the Eight Immortals. The newly painted wall, which has just been painted, will definitely be clean without any pollution.

But the four major anxieties refer to the end of the rainstorm, the burning of houses, wolves robbing children and thieves digging walls.

When the heavy rain is over, it suddenly rains while drying millet outside. Naturally, it will be urgent. A year's food depends on this, and a rain can easily destroy the fruits of a year's labor. Let alone burn down the house, let alone cause economic losses to yourself, and may even hurt your life.

Moreover, it is absolutely urgent for wolves to take away children, whether they are their own children or others' children. If the wolf takes it away, you will die. A person's life is very important. The last point is that the thief dug the wall, which means that the thief entered the house. In the past, the anti-theft in rural areas was not as powerful as it is now. If you meet a thief, you will suffer serious economic losses.

Four ugliness refers to a wild donkey barking, a wife crying, a spatula brush and a seesaw.

The barking of a wild donkey is actually a metaphor for someone who speaks badly. The wife's crying is a symbol of family disharmony and noise. This must be a very unpopular thing. A spatula is the sound produced by the collision between a pot and something washing the pot, which makes people feel very unpleasant. The last saw refers to the sound of a saw sawing wood, which belongs to noise.
