There are many sayings in life, the language is simple and the content is appropriate, and it is catchy to say, but it also contains profound truth. There is a saying that goes, "Pigs come, poor dogs come, rich cats come to open pawnshops." What is the truth behind this saying?

First of all, let's look at "pigs are poor", which literally means that if a pig suddenly comes to the family, then the family may have to live in poverty in the future. We all know that the character of pigs is to eat and be lazy. They either eat or sleep all day long, and they are very sloppy. We sometimes describe a lazy person as a pig. If a person's personality is like a pig, then his life will only get poorer and poorer. That's why there is the saying that pigs come to be poor.

There is also "dogs come to get rich". In ancient times, only rich families had dogs. Ordinary poor families could hardly afford to support themselves, let alone have extra rations to raise dogs, so dogs were also a symbol of wealth. And the dog itself is also very loyal, very sensible and able to guard the house, and sometimes protect the safety of the owner when it is in danger. If a dog comes to a family, it will bring a lot of help to the family, so it is said The dog comes rich.

Finally, let’s talk about cats coming to open pawnshops. Rats are animals that harm food in daily life, and their nemesis is cats. They can help people eliminate rats and protect their property from damage. It also means "to protect wealth". Cats are also well-behaved and smart animals, so people regard cats as objects of prosperity. Many business people will put a beckoning cat at the door, which means to attract wealth and treasure.

Of course, the sayings left by the ancestors may not be fully applied in life. No matter what animals come to the house, if you want to make a fortune, you still have to rely on your hands and work hard. This is the end of the content of this issue.
