Salty wisdom reminds you of an old saying

I eat more salt than you eat rice, and I have crossed more bridges than you have walked.

The last paragraph of Wisdom as Salt is the wisdom of the elderly and a summary of life experience. Although this wisdom does not have to be put forward scientifically, it conforms to the laws of nature. We should respect our elders and wise men, and don't jump to conclusions and blindly deny anything.

There is a story: the old man took the villagers day and night to transport salt to a place and replace it with barley for the winter. One night, they camped out in the wild and the stars shone. The elders are still using the method passed down from generation to generation, taking out three pieces of salt and throwing them into the bonfire to predict the weather changes in the mountains ... Everyone is waiting for the "weather forecast" of the elders: if you hear the salt in the fire making a "crackling" sound, it is a sign of good weather; If there is no sound, it means that the weather is about to get worse and the wind and rain will come at any time.

The elderly look serious because salt has no sound in the fire. He thought it was unlucky and advocated that it should be done immediately after dawn. However, another young man in the clan thinks that "peeping at the sky with salt" is superstition and opposes leaving in a hurry. The next afternoon, the weather suddenly changed and it snowed. Only young people who insist on leaving late can appreciate the wisdom of the elderly. In fact, according to today's scientific explanation, the old clan leader is also right. Whether the salt block makes sound in the fire is related to the humidity in the air. In other words, the wind and rain are coming, the humidity is high, and the salt is wet. If you throw it into the fire, you will naturally be dumb.

Young people tend to look down on the philosophy of the elderly and think that they are outdated and useless. In fact, some life concepts are like sea salt. No matter how old it is, it is still a crystal with the memory of the sea.
