Rural elders love to tell old sayings, usually because these old sayings contain their life experience, wisdom and values. These old sayings may be about agricultural production, interpersonal relationships, moral norms, customs and habits, etc. After long-term inheritance and practice, they are considered to have certain truth and value.

By speaking old sayings, the rural elderly can pass on their experience and wisdom and provide guidance and inspiration to the younger generation. At the same time, it is also a way for them to interact and communicate with others, which can enhance the emotional connection between each other.

However, it should be noted that some old sayings may contain limitations of the times and personal biases, and may not necessarily be fully applicable to modern society. When listening to old sayings, we should maintain rational and critical thinking, and make judgments and choices based on our own actual situation.
