Zhang Shuo, a famous minister in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a wonderful article called Qian Bencao, which used money as a metaphor for medicine, with concise sentences and novel contents. He said, "Money is sweet, hot and poisonous. I'm partial to saving face, taking advantage, and I'm good at solving problems. Can benefit the country, pollute the virtuous, and fear honesty. If the poor take it, equality will be good; If it is uneven, it will be hot and cold, which will lead to cholera. If you don't take the medicine at all, unreasonable eating will hurt your spirit. This is popular, it can summon gods and drive away ghosts. If the products don't come loose, there will be disasters of fire and water thieves; If you don't accumulate, you will be hungry and poor. The way to disperse with one product does not think that Jane is virtue; Take the proper meaning, do not ask for the right gift, give it to the benevolence called by the masses, and give the letter without losing the time. People might as well call it wisdom. Only by refining these seven technologies can we take them for a long time and make people live longer. If you are unreasonable, you will be weak and hurt your spirit. You must avoid it. " The full text is full of praise and criticism, describing the nature, advantages and disadvantages, and the way of gathering and dispersing money incisively and vividly, which is thought-provoking.
In the Ming Dynasty, Li Zhi extended the word-splitting method to analyze money, which had different meanings. He said: money, with the word "brother" on it, really kills people, but people don't understand it; However, it is not "cheap" to compete with "elder brother" for "North". This is naturally a criticism of the oppression of money on people and the destruction of human nature. The same view is the dialogue between Wang Jie of A Qing Dynasty and Li Yuntian of Hanyang in Preface to Three Rural Surplus People. Tian Yun said: The ancients called money a knife, which can kill people by scraping profits. Wang Jie said, "Fighting two battles for' Jin' and ten battles for' Bei' is really a thief! It also shows a strong hatred of money.
"Qian" is also known as "brother" and his surname is Kong. Zhu Zaiyu, another Ming scholar, once wrote a poem "Yellow Sanqu" on behalf of Confucius. Scold money "to" Confucius ":"Confucius denounced money: dogs breed animals! The imperial court is ruled by you, and the general morality is corrupted by you. You kill people without paying for their lives. And the director, your repeated and unreasonable words have the upper hand, all of which are your money as a car bill. Our disciples are oppressed by you, and loyal and talented people don't need you. When the god of wealth is in power, you can do whatever you want and destroy what is fair. Think about it, chop the money, chop it, fry it, and steam it in a cage! " The expression of hating money is amazing.
There is no doubt about the role of money. Imagine, in real life, anyone can live without money. Ordinary people can't do without it, government civil servants can't do without it, big names can't do without it, and leading officials can't do without it. The consumption of tribute, the giving of reward, corruption and bribery are all related to money. Money can turn beauty into ugliness, humility into nobility, cowards into warriors and thieves into high officials. Therefore, more and more people are addicted to money. They believe in the philosophy of "people die for money, birds die for food", choose the lifestyle of "being slaves to money", misappropriate public funds, accept bribes, smuggle drugs crazily, steal shamelessly and engage in prostitution! However, history and reality tell us that money can sometimes turn freshness into corruption, beauty into ugliness, nobleness into meanness, courage into cowardice, and senior officials into thieves, beggars, prisoners and condemned criminals! "Tears are sour and blood is salty, and regrets are hot and sweet. I only know that there is no pain in the world; It is golden and silvery white, but I am jealous that it is black. I don't know that there is a blue sky above my head! "
Money not only plays an important role in our social life, but also profoundly affects our psychological activities and emotional life. But in essence, money only brings illusory happiness, and money must first bring truth in order to really benefit people's spirit. If money can buy what you appreciate and enjoy, then you are the owner of money. If a person finds that his money doesn't buy happiness, but constant fears and worries, and often feels that what he buys is overshadowed by something more valuable, making him feel inferior to others and not rich enough, it proves that what he needs is not more money, but a kind of wisdom that transcends money and material desires. This wisdom is an appreciation of the world. With this appreciation of the world, a person will feel rich under any circumstances, so as not to fall into endless ... all unfolding >

Money can give people material needs. Without it, they will be poor, without it, they will be very hard. However, once there is more money, there will be more people with red eyes and more troubles, so they are the devil between angels and demons.
