As the saying goes in the countryside, what does it mean to add people without dogs? Is there any reason?

In recent years, there has been a constant debate about folk culture. Some people think that today's technology has developed very well and society has made rapid progress. Most proverbs are no longer suitable for use in today's era, so more and more proverbs will be eliminated and forgotten by people. Some people think that although many proverbs are gradually eliminated and forgotten by most people in this era, in any case, this culture is also one of our national traditional cultures and the wealth left by our ancestors. We should continue to inherit it.

Of these two views, I agree with the second. Let alone folk culture is one of our traditional cultures. First of all, we should not look at things one-sidedly, let alone in general. Some proverbs are no longer suitable for the current social development and people's lives. However, if we can understand these idioms from another angle, another way of speaking is different meanings, and the key point is how we look at and understand them.

For example, as the saying goes, "dogs have no canine teeth", let's first look at what our ancestors said and what he said. First of all, "adding a person" means adding a new child to the family, so the general meaning of this sentence is: if a person adds a new child to his family, he can't keep a dog any more; Dogs eat too much, which will lead to no food at home, and everyone will eat less on average.

In the past, there were two versions of this sentence. First of all, in the past, every family had relatively little food. Many people often don't have enough to eat and often don't eat their last meal. If there are newborn children at home, the population has increased and there is not enough food at home. If there is a new dog, the family will not have enough food.

Secondly, in the past, dogs were considered to be very spiritual animals. People think they can see gods, ghosts and other things. At that time, in people's minds, both gods and ghosts were afraid of dogs. So we think that if we have a new baby and a dog at home, we will bump into and scare away those immortals. Children are likely to be killed by the devil, which will be very dangerous.

No matter which of these two statements is no longer applicable, it does not mean that this sentence is useless now and should be eliminated by people and society.

We can understand this sentence in another way from another angle. In other words, there are many parasites and infectious diseases in animals such as cats and dogs, and the immunity of newborns is generally weak, so they are easily infected by these parasites or infectious diseases. Therefore, if there are newborns at home, it is best not to keep small animals such as cats and dogs.
