I'd rather listen to ghosts cry than laugh. What do you mean? Have you heard these rural proverbs?

Many proverbs and common sayings come from the accumulation of experience in real life, but some proverbs are also superstitious, just like folk sayings about ghosts. There is a popular saying in rural areas that it is better to listen to ghosts crying than to listen to ghosts laughing; Do you know what this sentence means? Let's talk about why there was such a saying in the countryside in the past.

I would rather listen to ghosts crying than ghosts laughing; In fact, a literal understanding is enough. The main meaning of this sentence is that if there are ghosts in this world, you would rather hear them crying beside you than hearing them laugh at you. This is because in the past, people believed that there were evil spirits and good spirits, evil spirits and weak spirits. If you hear a ghost crying in your ear, it means that it is probably a weak ghost who needs human help. This kind of ghost is kind and does not necessarily harm human beings. But if you hear ghosts laughing in your ears, you may be in trouble, because it's no good for ghosts to laugh at people, just like gloating in advance.

Of course, in addition to this proverb, there are many other folk proverbs about ghosts, such as water on the road and ghosts on the path; This sentence. In fact, this sentence has a profound meaning, which is to advise us to take the right path and not to think about taking shortcuts and going astray. Life should always be bright and smooth. Only in this way can we meet the source of life, succeed and gain something. If you always want to go the other way, you will get what you deserve sooner or later. As the saying goes, if you walk too much at night, you will always meet ghosts. That's what I'm saying.

Many folk proverbs sound interesting and easy to understand. In fact, they all contain the wisdom of life from generation to generation, and they are the life experiences that people have summed up in the process of exploring life. Although some of them are superstitious, it still does not prevent us from understanding other life truths from these proverbs.
