A poor and neglected poem.

The poor live in busy cities, but the rich have distant relatives in the mountains. People meet each other carefully at the beginning, and there will be no resentment when they get old.

If you are a rich and powerful person, even if none of your relatives live in the mountains, some people will come to visit their relatives and bring their relatives. If you are a poor person, even if you live in a busy street, no one will take care of you, let alone recognize you there.

When dealing with the world, you should always keep the mentality and appearance of meeting for the first time, so that you won't have problems with others because of your different ways of dealing with the world in your later years.

From-China Ming Dynasty anonymous "Augmented Sages".

Extended data:

Enhanced wisdom. It is called Xianwen in ancient times and Xianwen in ancient and modern times. It is a children's enlightenment bibliography compiled by China in the Ming Dynasty. The title of the book was first seen in the drama Peony Pavilion in the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, so it can be inferred that this book was written in the Wanli period at the latest.

"Glory and Contribution" is a collection of proverbs and aphorisms of China from ancient times to the present. Later, it was changed to this appearance after the continuous supplement of the literati in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was called "adding glory to the text" in history, commonly known as "adding glory to the text". I have never seen any books, but I have only seen the Confucian scholars' weekly revision during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty.

On the surface, augmented sages seem disorganized, but as long as you read the whole book carefully, it is not difficult to find its internal logic. This book's understanding of human nature is based on the Confucian Xunzi's "theory of evil nature" and gives a cold insight into social life. Feelings are polluted by money. "No one in the city asks you if you are poor, and if you have money in the mountains, you have distant relatives." .

Augmented sages highly summarize the dark phenomena in many aspects of society and display them coldly in front of readers. Most of the sentences in Zengguang Xianwen come from a subset of classics, poems and songs, opera novels and scholars' miscellaneous notes, and their thoughts directly or indirectly come from Confucian and Taoist classics.

Broadly speaking, it is a popular version of "essence", which is rewarded by essence and vulgarity. You can read it without explanation, or you can understand the thoughts and life wisdom of the classics by reading augmented sages.
