Can you tell me what Gu Gui means by hurting people? (history)

It means that the price of food or various commodities rises beyond the affordability of ordinary people, which leads to the decline of people's quality of life and damages people's basic survival interests. This sentence has the same meaning as "Gu Cheap Hurts Farmers".

Refers to high food prices, which are harmful to people.

Out of "Hanshu Food Record": "It is very expensive and hurts the people; It's cheap and hurts farmers. People are hurt, and farmers are hurt. "

Besides, Song Fengdao also said that if you are rich, you will starve to death, but if you are cheap, you will hurt people.

Although the number of peasants in ancient times was the largest, judging from the class division of "scholars, peasants, industry and commerce", peasants were obviously not considered as the most important class in a country, and the people here did not refer to peasants, but to everyone.

In addition, in ancient times, expensive food was not a good thing for farmers. The rise of food prices will inevitably lead to the rise of the overall price, and the government has no very effective control measures, which makes it more difficult for farmers to maintain their lives.
