This is a folk proverb of China, which comes from a folk story. It is said that in the Zhou Dynasty in the late Five Dynasties, a man named Dou lived in Yanshan Mansion. His five sons are all excellent in character and learning, and they have passed the exam one after another, so they are called "five sons pass".
Dou himself lived to be 82 years old and died without a disease. Feng Dao, the imperial adviser of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem for him: "The fight against Shi Lang in Yanshan Mountain has taught the son a righteous side. Lingchun is an old tree, and Dangui has five branches. " Saint Amethyst has a saying: "Dou Yanshan, a righteous man, teaches five sons and is famous in the world" to praise him, teach his children to study hard and teach his father to teach their children well.

The irony of the times:
1, the "five sons" of the old bureaucrat: sell when you say it, put on airs at meetings, have a little fun, do nothing, and muddle along every day.
2. The "five sons" of international students: wearing a doctor's hat, driving a brand-name car, earning money, buying a mansion, and having a fat son.
3. "Five Christians": gentle and kind gentleman, brave pawn, kind and stubborn fool, earnest and diligent champion, repentant and reformed prodigal son.
4, the current new version: wife, children, house, ticket, car.
A proper noun: the Kuomintang's "five sons passed the exam." In the 1940s, as soon as Japan announced its surrender, Kuomintang officials took the opportunity to recover lost ground. They ignored laws and regulations, principles and the interests of the country and people, which brought a new round of catastrophe to the industry and commerce in Guangfu District.
