As the saying goes, 'If you want to know whether you are rich or poor, men look at their waists and women look at people.' What does this mean? Does it make sense?

No matter in which era, there are rich and poor, but the gap between rich and poor is obviously not obvious. Now, the economy is open and the ways to make money are diverse. Most people live a prosperous life. They wear bright clothes when they go out. They buy what they want to eat. It's hard to tell if a person is rich or poor if they don't go to their home to learn about it in person.

As we all know, common sayings have certain times and limitations. Many proverbs are like this. It might not make sense now, but it certainly made some sense at the time.

Otherwise, in China's long-term cultural heritage, it is impossible to continue to spread. As the saying goes, to know whether rich or poor, men look at their waists and women look at people. What does it mean? Does it make sense? Can this be seen? Let's take a look together.

Can a man see if he is rich or poor by looking at his waist?

The waist refers to the part of the crotch and ribs of the human body. what can you see? If you see power and power, you can see it to a large extent. Generally speaking, a person with a thick, straight and strong waist is definitely not as good as a person with a thin and soft waist. But what do you think about having a waist on the outside?

In fact, what the ancients said men look at waist is not the thickness and strength of the waist, but the things and decorations on the man's waist. In ancient China, people wore very delicate clothes. Ancient clothes are not like today, want anything.

In movies and TV, we often see rich people in long robes and big shirts, and poor people in short skirts. However, while the people of the past were civilized, their backwardness in the feudal era is understandable. They don't have the gleaming belt they do now. The pants they wear also need a belt, but the belt does a different job. Not only do they want to keep their pants from falling, but they also want to bring something.

In different eras, banknotes are now easy to carry, and smartphones do not need to be carried at all. This is the development of the times. In ancient times, it was different. In the past, the circulation of paper money was mostly limited to officials, while ordinary people were copper, gold, silver, etc.

When people go out, because it is inconvenient to carry, the belt also becomes a place to hang and store valuables. Most people will hang their wallet and some valuables around their waist, which is much more convenient. This is caused by the times. In ancient times, there was an old saying that one's waist is full of wealth, and this is also the result of an idiom.

Men look at the waist is actually these. In ancient society, judging a person's wealth can really be seen from the waist. The belts of the poor are basically ropes or strips of cloth without special decorations. The rich have special decorations and decorations. Martial arts practitioners wear swords and knives on their waists, and officials wear jade belts and wallets on their waists. Outsiders can see the identity and status of this person at a glance.

Therefore, some people say that men look at the waist. It is no exaggeration to say that ancient men's belts represent a lot of information. So, what do women say about people?

What can a woman see?

It is well known that the status of women and men in the old society was different. Women can be said to be the appendages of men in feudal society.

A woman looking at people doesn't mean looking at herself. Seeing yourself is only one aspect. This is also the subtlety of colloquialism. You can only see how you dress. In fact, what this woman looks at is the people around her.

Generally speaking, women have to go out when they go out or buy daily necessities or emergencies. After all, there were strict requirements for women in the feudal era. It was a woman's request to not go out through the door and not leave the door. Women in wealthy families will definitely have maids, while peasant women have no conditions to do so.

Women look at people and see people as people around them. If there is a maid servant out there, it can be concluded that this is a wealthy family. If a woman goes out without seeing anyone with her, she can conclude that she is a poor woman. After all, poor families have a difficult life and cannot afford maid servants.

In the society at that time, this is the summary and truth of ancient wisdom. Women can really see the difference between rich and poor by looking at people. In the age of equality between men and women, it might not make sense, but in ancient feudal times, it was not too much.

As the saying goes, you need to know whether you are rich or poor. Men look at their waists and women look at people. In the society at that time, we can see a lot of information, and it also makes us feel some unfair treatment of the feudal ritual system.

So, as the saying goes, even though there seems to be no reason to say it now, in the society at the time, it really made perfect sense. Thanks to the progress of The New York Times, the gap between rich and poor is gradually narrowing.

In short, we can look at the proverbs correctly, after all, the proverbs are not the truth, they are produced in the historical era, and only when we understand and understand correctly, can the proverbial culture develop and inherit healthily. I don't know if you think the little side's statement is correct?
