    China has a long history, and in the course of thousands of years of development, many special cultures have been precipitated, and the proverb is one of them.

    As we all know, colloquialisms are a branch of the Chinese language and are widely spread among the people.

    The main reason why it is loved by the people of the private sector is that it is interesting and easy to understand.

    In fact, the proverb was summed up by the ancestors through the accumulation of social life experience, and they often have a certain truth.

    Some people think the colloquial is rough, indeed, but it's down-to-earth and able to get people to pass it on by word of mouth.

    As a person from a rural area, every time I go back to my hometown, I chat with the old people and listen to them talk about the "old words".

    Once, on the way home, a group of old men were chatting at the door, and suddenly saw a few swallows flying, and casually said "Yan knows the cold door, and the dog knows the new son-in-law". After hearing this, I was attracted by this sentence and stopped to chat with the old people for a while.

    At first, I didn't know what this sentence meant, but after talking to the old people, I knew what it meant, and it made some sense.

    In modern society, there are basically no young people who want to develop in the countryside, and they all rush to the cities. In the city life, it is actually difficult to see swallows, and dogs are relatively common.

    Literally, this sentence is: the swallow can tell which family is poor, and the dog can judge who is the new son-in-law.

    Why? This brings us to the habits of dogs and swallows.

    Swallows will build nests, and the nesting requirements are very strict, because swallows are very afraid of the cold, and generally choose some large families to build nests, because large households are generally brick houses, and poor families are generally thatched houses, and the better ones are earthen houses, so the protection of swallows in brick houses will be better, and the environment is more conducive to hatching young swallows.

    What must be said here is that the swallow knows which family is a poor family, which does not mean that he dislikes the poor family, but that the conditions of the poor family cannot meet the standard of their own survival.

    After understanding the first half of the sentence, the second half of the sentence is easier to understand.

    As we all know, dogs are one of man's most loyal friends, very human and spiritual. So why is it said that dogs can tell who the new son-in-law is?

    First of all, the dog is an animal with a very sensitive sense of smell, and is often with the family and is familiar with the smell of the family, and the daughter of the family is certainly no exception. And the daughter and son-in-law must have been together for a long time before they came together, and there was a residual smell of each other on each other, so that the dog could naturally smell the smell on the son-in-law and naturally be able to distinguish it.

    In general, the truth revealed by this proverb is that everything is spiritual.

    Therefore, if you have animals at home, you must treat them well.

    The meaning of this sentence means that the swallow knows who is poor in the house, and the dog also knows who the new son-in-law is, which is very reasonable, because the eaves of the poor family are not suitable for the swallow to build a nest, and the new son-in-law often goes to work for the mother-in-law's house, so the dog is very familiar with him.

    This is the ancients believed that swallows would not build a nest under the eaves of the poorer people at home, and dogs can play the role of housekeepers, but if they are new people in the family, they will not bite, so there is such a proverb, in fact, there is no basis.

    When swallows build their nests, they choose buildings with good shading, and they rarely go to poor homes to build their nests. The dog observes the owner's attitude and behavior to distinguish the owner's son-in-law. Explain that animals also express their emotions according to their surroundings.

    The swallow knows that a family is poor and wealthy, so it will choose the family that builds the nest according to this wealth and poverty. When the new son-in-law arrives home, the dog doesn't bark and bite much. It doesn't make sense that animals don't know about the wealth and poverty of human beings and their marital relationships.

    Swallows often nest under some sheltered houses, in ancient times, the houses of poor families are relatively dilapidated, always not, those who are cleanly dressed, more dignified people, so the swallow knows which people are rich, and the dog knows whether it is a new son-in-law.

    This sentence is to say that the swallow knows the poverty and wealth of a family, so it will choose the nesting family according to this wealth and poverty. The dog knows the new son-in-law means that the dog can recognize the new son-in-law who enters the house.

    It reflects the living habits of swallows, but also reflects the family that domestic dogs are familiar with throughout their long lives.

    It may be that the smell of this son-in-law is the same as that of the mistress, so the dog can distinguish the son-in-law by this smell.

    This is because dogs have a particularly sensitive sense of smell, and they can know that the relationship between the son-in-law and the family is particularly close by smelling.

    Because the dog's sense of smell is very keen, and the dog is also very sensitive to human emotions, it can distinguish the son-in-law.

    A divorced woman should not marry because her husband is still alive and there may be a lot of trouble after marriage. The meaning of the second sentence is that no matter how poor the family is, the swallow will fly back the next year, and the dog is very psychic, and it can meet the new son-in-law. The third sentence can be interpreted as the family members are very lazy, and the house is overgrown with weeds and wild flowers, which will ruin the family in the long run, or it can be understood that bringing the woman outside home will lead to the destruction of the family.

    There is indeed a certain basis for this, in ancient myths and legends, the swallow was called Xuanniao, which is a symbol of good luck. This must be summed up by the scum people through long-term labor experience. Even now, swallows are cherished by us as beneficial birds.

    However, when swallows build their nests, although it is the swallows that choose a good family, it is not the swallow that brings good luck, but the good karma that the family has cultivated itself.

    1. Yan Zhihanmen refers to the eaves of rich and poor families when they build their nests. In the traditional culture of our country, the swallow is a symbol of good luck and is called a lucky bird. Not only does it not steal the crops grown by farmers, but it also pests the people from time to time, such as eating pests that threaten the growth of crops, so it is also known as a beneficial bird.

    When a swallow enters the house, it is often considered to be an excellent thing and represents a succession of luck that will bring luck to the family.

    2. The dog knows the new son-in-law, which refers to the new son-in-law who will not bite the door of the dog. Puppies are very common domestic animals and our loyal friends. One of its family duties is to protect property or the personal safety of the owner by shouting at strangers when they arrive at the house to let their owner know that an unknown person has invaded.
