Why is Pu Songling's Wang Cheng the best embodiment of "industriousness, laziness and poverty"?

Among the contents of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio written by Pu Songling, the ghost fox story is the most frequently written. However, in one of his works, he wrote about how a lazy man named Wang Cheng got rich from business. Wang Cheng doesn't have a cornucopia, but only does small business, so how did he get rich? What does Wang Cheng's experience of becoming rich inspire us modern people?

Pu Songling himself is a poor scholar. He didn't go through the business sea, but he lived in a special era in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The commodity economy was quite prosperous at that time. Where he lived, the commodity experience of Qilu was the first to prosper. The Grand Canal passes through Shandong and can reach the capital in a few days.

Wang Chengzu was a bureaucrat in Pingyuan County. In Wang Cheng's generation, his family was getting worse every day because of laziness. In the end, there were only a few shabby houses left, and Wang Cheng could only sleep on the straw mat with his wife. But he doesn't know how to work hard. Instead, he often complains and blames each other with his wife, and his life is very sad.

At that time, it was midsummer, and the house of a family named Zhou outside the village collapsed, leaving only a pavilion. Many people in the village spend the night here, and Wang Cheng is one of them.

In the society where the commodity economy is playing an increasingly important role, people begin to seek new ways to get rich, re-plan their lives and maximize their potential. It is true that snakes have snake paths, birds have bird paths, and the Eight Immortals show their magical powers when crossing the sea. It is such a state that it has become an important material for Pu Songling to pay attention to and write.

Wang Cheng is such a lazy man who has neither capital nor ability to do business. He actually made 620 silver coins through an incredible transaction. But a family's living expenses are about 220 Liang a year, which shows how lucky he is.

He was originally the son of the eunuch's family, but because the lazy family became poorer and poorer, there was no quilt at home at last. It is such a person who easily won the first bucket of gold in life. Because of his good character, he got help.

This tells us all a truth about being a man and being an upright person. We should not only collect money, but also respect the old and love the young. Good people will eventually be rewarded, and maybe one day someone will come to thank you and support you.
