An old proverb “Có tiền đừng mua đất ven sông, giàu có cũng không lấy vợ tái giá” has undergone many changes when applied to modern life. Nowadays, hunting for riverside land and women remarrying is no longer rare.
Meaning of the saying: “Có tiền đừng mua đất ven sông, giàu có không lấy vợ tái giá”
According to the perspective of predecessors, riverside land is often low-lying and vulnerable to flooding during heavy rains or high tides. The danger from floods can cause significant loss of life and property for oneself and one’s family, creating hidden risks.
However, in reality today, this saying may no longer accurately reflect all aspects. Nevertheless, those who intend to buy land should still consider carefully. Places like hillsides and slopes should be given special attention, as they can pose geological risks such as landslides due to improper exploitation, causing significant environmental and property losses.
Moreover, buying land and building a house is not only a simple matter but also extremely important and cannot be done hastily. When choosing land and a house, homeowners need to consider carefully to ensure that they get a piece of land and a house that reflects their desires, is suitable for their personal destiny, helps them thrive, and avoid unfortunate risks.
The second meaning of the saying originates from the fact that people in the past highly regarded the “tam toàng tứ đức” (four virtues and three obediences) of women. They believed that a woman when getting married must be loyal and obedient to her husband, devote her whole soul to the family, and educate the children. At the same time, the honor of women is also placed first. Therefore, if a woman has divorced, society often evaluates them highly and considers them as people who have had to face significant challenges in life.
However, the case of “góa phụ” (widow) is different. These women often encounter unfortunate situations, and the loss of their husbands does not always reflect their virtue. Many widows continue to live their lives with courage and patience, working hard to raise children and support their mother-in-law’s family. They are respected and admired for their resilience and determination.
Therefore, the proverb “thà lấy góa phụ chứ không lấy nữ nhân tái giá” reflects the respect and admiration for women who have experienced difficulties and challenges in life. However, in modern society, this viewpoint has undergone many changes.
Gender equality and the divorce rate are increasing, allowing women after divorce to seek new happiness without facing the criticism of society. Divorce is not only the responsibility of women but also the equal right of each individual.
