There is an old saying in the countryside, "Your mother was good when you were young, but you are good when you grow up". What does that mean? Does this make sense?

This sentence, "Mother is good when she is young, but good when she is a guest when she grows up", is a common saying.

According to records, this sentence comes from Xishui County, Huanggang City, Hubei Province, China. There are many interesting proverbs in rural areas, which are circulated in the oral language of the masses, and most of them are created by working people, reflecting people's life experiences and wishes. It is characterized by making people's communication more convenient and interesting, with local characteristics, concise words and easy to understand. Some proverbs are explicit, but they are all rough.

1. hour is good for your mother.

This sentence is easy to understand. Everyone knows that only mothers are good in the world. The song "Only mothers are good in the world" has explained the importance of mothers. Especially when the child is young, his mother is the world to him, especially when he is hungry and sleepy. The first thing he looks for is his mother, and even his father has to stand aside! Every time I go home, I will ask, "Dad, where is my mother?" I believe that almost everyone has said this sentence at home.

2. When you grow up, walk through the hall.

Let's talk about what don is. Tang is a wife, a wife, a wife, a householder and a baby's mother. Besides Chongqing, there are also Hunan, and Wuhan, Huangpi and Xianning in Hubei are called Tangke.

Go back to Chapter 27 of The Scholars: "Bring four kinds of jewelry tomorrow, and still ask my cousin to give it to him. It is convenient to recruit people by choosing a date. "

This is a very unique slang. Then, why do you call your wife "Tangke"?

Very knowledgeable-this involves the architectural forms of traditional families in China, as well as residential buildings. In the past, judging from the title of "Tangke", the family status of wives in Hunan was higher than that of wives in other places. "Tangke" is a "guest in the hall". The hall is the most sacred place for ancestor worship, and it is also the place for family to discuss and make decisions. The most important place proves that the husband's family did not treat the married wife as an outsider, but invited her directly to the hall.

Because, after all, it is a foreign surname, not an ancestor, so I gave it the title of "guest", called "Tang Ke", or it was called "Tang Zhu", which shows that the treatment and status given by my in-laws are still quite high.

When a man grows from a little boy to a mature and healthy man, his life goes to another stage, and he needs another "woman" to accompany him psychologically and physically. Maslow's economic theory has explained that the first level of human needs is physiological needs, including not only basic food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also human's "physiological needs".

A healthy man has a natural interest and desire for women, both psychologically and physically. With psychological and physical needs, only women can comfort men with multiple psychological, mental and physical needs. Moreover, to form a family, women should not only bear the responsibility of having children, but also handle all the trivial matters in the family in order.

There are many similar proverbs in Hubei province, such as: women are the rope that binds the family; Close to parents, but close to couples; The first kiss of a little mother, the first kiss of a grown-up wife; Dressing or home machine cloth, staying overnight or kissing couples; Father is heaven, mother is earth, wife and husband are heart and blood … and so on.
