Why do you say three generations of poor fishermen?

In the previous agricultural era, social productive forces were extremely underdeveloped and basic production tools were also scarce. People have to spend a lot of time working in the fields just to get more harvest, but fishing and bird shooting are unnecessary for many people.

More interestingly, fishing may exert a subtle influence on the next generation. If parents like fishing, so will their children, so people will say that fishing is poor for three generations.

Ancient fishing

In ancient times, especially in Qing dynasty. After the Manchus entered the customs, the emperor took great care of the Manchus who stayed in Beijing. Even if you stay at home all day and do nothing, you live better than ordinary people, let alone the son of princes and nobles. Unlike today's people, ancient people didn't have much entertainment in their lives, and their entertainment activities were few, so in order to pass the time, they passed the time by fishing, shooting birds, catching rabbits and flying eagles.

But this time-consuming entertainment is not suitable for those young people, and this kind of activity will only ruin their good time in vain. Therefore, some elderly people want to persuade them not to indulge in these recreational activities, spend more time studying and do something meaningful. Only when you have a successful career can these activities be called entertainment. Although fishing and falconry can cultivate people's sentiments, they should be carried out without delaying business.
