A satire on greed

Ten defects of mountain slope sheep

Ming: Zhu Zaiyu.

Running around every day, just to satisfy my hunger, so that I can have food and clothes.

Put down where to wear, and look up and feel that the house is low.

Building a tall building, building a building, there are few beauties in front of the bed.

Married are beautiful wives and concubines, and there is no horse to ride in front of the door.

Buy a tall horse and follow it before it.

Dozens of family members have been recruited, and they have no money and no potential to be bullied.

In the position of county magistrate, I said that a small official is not as good as a person.

As soon as I climbed to the old position in the cabinet, I thought about it every day.

One day, sitting in the south, I wanted the gods to play chess.

Dong Bin played chess with him and asked where the ladder was.

Before the ladder was built, the demon came to urge the king of Yan to deal cards.

If this person is not limited to this, it is too low to climb the ladder!

This poem should be regarded as the most classic "greedy poem" in history, which vividly shows the greed of human nature. It seems funny, but it is actually thought-provoking.

The full text begins with "Only for Hunger". At first, he ran around just to fill his stomach, but after filling his stomach, he was not satisfied and wanted to wear silk.

After eating and wearing warm clothes, I dislike the house being too small and want to live in a big house.

The big house in Huawu felt empty, so she married a room full of beautiful wives and concubines.

Dissatisfied with his beautiful wife and concubine, he bought a big horse and a dozen footmen.

Before long, such a nourishing life was not enough again. Money is boring, so I spent a lot of money to buy a county magistrate Dangdang.

When I was a county magistrate for a while, I found that the official position was weak and there was no strength, so I used various means to climb up.

Very not easy to climb to the position of the old cabinet, and thinking about which day the emperor will dismount.

Finally, one day I got my wish and became emperor, but I was still not satisfied. I thought it would be better to climb relatives if I could play chess with immortals.

Maybe God heard his voice, so he sent Lv Dongbin to play chess with him. After playing chess, he shamelessly asked, "Where is the ladder?"

Before answering his question, Yan sent black and white impermanence to kill him.

The whole poem is full of irony, and the greed of human nature is written to the extreme. As the saying goes, if people are trapped in the word "desire" all their lives, they will never be satisfied and happy.
