Poor people don't tell fortune.

The ancients often said that "the poor love fortune telling and the rich love burning incense". What is the reason?

There are many proverbs circulating in ancient China, some of which are quite interesting, such as "the poor love fortune telling, and the rich love burning incense". But why is there a saying that the poor tell fortune and the rich burn incense? Smart netizens did some exploration and pointed out the doorway.

First of all, some netizens think that the poor love fortune telling mainly because the poor have financial difficulties, and some things encountered in life may be quite unsatisfactory in many cases, so they are more inclined to go to fortune tellers to calculate why they are so unlucky.

After all, in ancient China society, many resources were in the hands of the rich. Even some talented poor people, because they have no power or potential, will hit a wall more or less. So the poor may be more inclined to think about such a question: "I work so hard, I have talent." Why am I so unlucky? Is this fate? " So many poor people tend to tell fortune.

Secondly, because fortune tellers don't receive much money each time they look at their hands, the poor can afford it, so the poor love fortune telling more.

On the other hand, the rich are richer themselves, so what they want is to keep their power and wealth, or to become richer. Then rich people are more inclined to pray to God and worship Buddha. Please bless them to be richer. Moreover, rich people burn incense because they have money.

Because the rich have more resources in their hands, generally speaking, they don't encounter too many worrying things, and they don't reflect on whether their lives are bad like the poor who have been frustrated repeatedly, so there are relatively few fortune tellers.

Of course, the old saying that "the poor love fortune telling and the rich love burning incense" has more than the above reasons, but the above reasons are more reasonable among many reasons.
