There is a common saying in the countryside: 'A long eyebrow can be worth ten thousand grains.' Why do you say that?
As we all know, Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and it has been passed down from generation to generation to the present.
Among them, the most impressive are those rural sayings, which are simple, straightforward, and easy to understand. But the hidden meanings represent the interpretation and expectations of people in that era for a phenomenon.
Take the phrase "a long eyebrow can be worth ten thousand grains" as an example, I didn't know the truth when I was young, but now I grow up to know the deep meaning, so today we will talk about this.
Listening to the old man in the village, this sentence has deep meaning. When I was a child, whether I was watching TV shows or reading picture books, I was very curious about the old fairy holding the peach, why he grew up like that, because in the eyes of the elderly, if there is a particularly long and thick eyebrow in the middle, it is often called "eyebrow hair". ", in the eyes of the elderly, this is the meaning of longevity, and it is also a manifestation of the wisdom of the elderly!
In rural areas, we often see many people with long eyebrows, and they do not deliberately trim them. In the eyes of the elderly, as the saying goes, "a man has a good hair", and body hair often also indicates the health of the body. According to the old man in the village, after people pass 40, the "eyebrows" between the eyebrows grow stronger, which also indicates that people's blood circulation is strong!
Since ancient times, food has been the basis for people to survive.
Farmers face the loess with their backs to the sky every day, working hard just for a ration. When you are old, if you are healthy, it will bring great help to yourself and your family.
First of all, you do not need others to serve you, so that more labor can be put into labor production; secondly, there is no need to spend high medical expenses. In the past, there was no money in rural areas, and when serious illnesses were really difficult to overcome, they could only sell food and houses to pay for medical expenses.
Therefore, the health of an elderly person is very important to a family. The ancients also believed that the longer the eyebrows are, the healthier the elderly will be, so there is a saying that "one long eyebrow can be worth ten thousand grains".
Therefore, the deep meaning of this sentence seems to be very deep but also very shallow. Generally, the eyebrows of the elderly grow out of their longevity. In fact, the eyebrows of young people are long and delicate, and they are a good sign for wealth. Don't pull them out deliberately. It is a good thing in terms of easy learning to have the image of physical and mental harmony and refreshed spirit. Is there such a person in your village?
