The only interesting thing here is that a dead camel is bigger than a horse, and a molting phoenix is not as good as a chicken, which is quite thought-provoking. Because in reality, both situations can occur simultaneously. During the late Qing Dynasty, some banner people fell on hard times but could still sell some old family items to make a living. They were still better off than the average common people at that time. A dead camel is bigger than a horse. Later, when they started smoking opium, they quickly squandered the money. Since they didn't know how to do anything, even as laborers, nobody wanted them; a molting phoenix is not as good as a chicken.
