Fish left for three days smells, guests staying for three days are disliked.
No one is closer than parents, no one is closer than spouses.
Fishing impoverishes for three years, playing with birds ruins a lifetime.
Long gambling turns into enmity, long dancing leads to romance.
Marrying wrongly ruins three generations, marrying wrongly ruins a lifetime.
Keep your mouth shut to avoid trouble, keep your heart safe to avoid mistakes.
Better to eat without meat than to have rice without soup.
A bowl of soup before a meal prevents harm in old age.
Better to store in the pot than to let the stomach bloat.
