在民间有很多习俗，这些习俗代表了咱们祖先对美好未来的追求，也可以看出祖先的思维方式，研究这些习俗是一件很有趣的事情。不知道大家有没有听过铜缸里面放大米的和金币。

There are many folk customs. These customs represent our ancestors' pursuit of a better future, and we can also see their way of thinking. It is very interesting to study these customs. I wonder if you have ever heard of rice and gold coins in the same jar.

铜缸里面的粮食是钱币的代表，米不空，则家里钱财不缺，所以铜缸里面放入钱币也就不难理解了，要是铜缸里面有钱币，那就是代表家里的钱币不断啊。

The grain in the copper tank is the representative of money. If the rice is not empty, the family will have no shortage of money. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that there are coins in the copper tank. If there are coins in the copper tank, it means that the money in the family is constant.

为了吉祥，讲究的人还会在铜缸里面放入玉佩，玉佩代表金玉满堂；要是放入铜钱的话，代表金银珠宝；有时候还要放入红绳，这是代表咱们的日子可以红红火火啊。

For auspiciousness, people who are fastidious will put jade pendants in the copper jar. Jade pendants represent the full house of gold and jade; If copper coins are put in, they represent gold, silver and jewelry; Sometimes we have to put in a red rope, which means our days can be prosperous.

听到这里，我明白了，原来古人讲究铜缸不空，讲究铜缸里面放东西，这不是迷信啊，而是代表了人们对美好生活的向。据老人讲，要是放入铜钱的话，最好要放入三枚，三在古书里面说“一生二，二生三，三生万物”，放三枚寓意钱财生生不息源源不断。

After hearing this, I understand that the ancients paid attention to the fact that the copper jar was not empty and that there were things in it. This is not superstition, but represents people's desire for a better life. According to the old man, if you put copper coins, you'd better put three coins. Three says in the ancient book "life two, two begets three, three begets all things". Putting three coins means that money is endless.
