I am sure everyone has heard many proverbs about China. These proverbs also have their own unique meanings. So what do you understand by the phrase "the blessed have the legs, and the unfortunate have the legs"?

The literal meaning of the phrase is that those with long hair on their legs are blessed, while those who are not blessed with hair on their legs are very rare. In ancient times, one of the main sources of income for people was farming, so many people stayed in the fields all year round to work. Long hours of wind and sun make them sweat a lot while working, which will make people's hair very strong. Therefore, in ancient times, these people with long hair on their legs were called happy people because they worked hard and fought for their lives.

For some ordinary people with very tender legs, they have no experience working in the fields. In other words, they don't work hard. These people only want the pie to fall from the sky, and can't work by themselves, so they are called "the unfortunate people with hairy legs" by the ancients. This sentence implies the hard work of the ancients. Only hard work can bring the joy of a good harvest. That's what people thought at the time. So far, many farmers think so too.

With the constant changes in today's society, many proverbs handed down from ancient times to the present are no longer popular, but their meanings are still worth thinking about. For example, this sentence contains the wisdom of the labor of the ancients, and there is no disobedience even now. We should acknowledge the views of the older generation of ancestors. Although they are not as developed as they are today, their perspectives are well worth learning.

The saying "the blessed have the legs, and the unfortunate have the legs" is very applicable now. There are many workers building cities now. They sweated and built us tower after tower. The hair on their legs is also a symbol of their work. This is a blessed man; for some people sitting in the office, some of them have no conscience to make money. Their legs don't grow lush leg hair because they don't need work, but they end up being punished. This is an unfortunate person.

At this time, some people say that whether there is leg hair on the legs depends on the person's physique. For some people, even if they work hard all day, they don't grow a lot of leg hair, and some people are born with thick leg hair, so this statement is not accurate. But in fact "hair" on the one hand, it's about leg hair, on the other hand, it still means busy. Because people spoke their hometown dialect at the time, it could sometimes be because of the dialect difference.

At that time, the ancients believed that hard work was a traditional virtue, and not many people possessed this quality. This is the so-called "rare is precious", and hard-working farmers will be called happy people because they desire a better life. At the time, farmers would rub their leg hairs because they were working on the ground, and officials because they sat for a long time, but this is just a statement, after all, we can't quite guess what the ancients thought at the time.

For these ancient proverbs, they have been passed on to the present through the accumulation and honing of time. Most of these proverbs have special meanings. Because in the process of spreading, some people will question this sentence. If anyone thinks this is wrong, it will be impossible for this sentence to continue in the future. These proverbs are also the experience of the ancients, such as the twenty-four solar terms, which are the result of the accumulation of the ancients. Their appearance can also bring some inspiration to the lives of future generations, allowing us to avoid detours.

"Blessed people have hairy legs, and unfortunate people have hairy legs." Although the saying has been passed down to the present, it seems that many people no longer "like" leg hair. Many hair removal creams are popular in the market right now. Its main function is to shave off excess hair on the human body. Our main concern is leg hair. This phenomenon is common among girls. Now in summer, girls wear miniskirts. If they show leg hair, it will affect their beauty, so they don't grapple with whether they are happy or not. There is only beauty in their eyes.

Conclusion: Times are changing now. Although the proverbs handed down from ancient times are welcomed and "pursued" by everyone, mainly because they have their own meaning, the old people will say some proverbs at the right time, it will also give us some inspiration to the young people, and then we will continue this tradition . Everyone should know the meaning of the phrase "the lucky ones have hairy legs, and the unfortunate ones have hairy legs"!
