Why did the ancients say that the poor love fortune telling and the rich love burning incense?

The reason why there are such differences is that, first, the poor want to change their lives and gain wealth, and they urgently need the guidance of fortune tellers; Rich people are already very rich, burning incense and worshiping Buddha, hoping to get the protection of the gods.

Since ancient times, people have always yearned for a better life and future, and they all hope that their lives will get better and better. This is the common expectation of people.

In modern society, people increasingly expect to get rich through hard-working hands. However, in ancient times, when productivity was low, feudal superstitions still existed. People would choose to burn incense, worship Buddha, tell fortune and watch Feng Shui to realize their luck and dreams.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the poor love fortune telling and the rich love burning incense". This happens because:

The poor often have nothing. They are full of enthusiasm and hard work, but they often lack a clear goal in life, that is, the direction of life.

Fortune tellers always give people the impression that secrets can't be revealed, which is very serious among the poor. If you can avoid some twists and turns on the road through fortune telling, that is the best. That's why they go to them for fortune telling. On the other hand, fortune tellers also see that the poor are unrealistic and ambitious, and they please each other through words to gain their trust. This trick has always worked.

As a successful man, he went to burn incense and worship Buddha because he achieved great fame, and many of them made great contributions, and were conferred titles and money by kings, such as Han Xin, who was named King of Qi. What they expect is no longer the direction of life, but more that the family can prosper day by day, full of children and grandchildren, and the times are prosperous, not affected by disasters.
