What does homelessness mean?

1. In ancient times, it refers to people who had no land to cultivate and were displaced.

Book of Rites: "There is no wilderness, no refugees, and when food is available, the people live in peace." "Biography of Kang Chengxun in the New Tang Dynasty": "Refugees often recruit soldiers with gold and silk." "Clear Draft and Food Record 1": "Although it is intended to clear the account, it is better to be more detailed than Jiabao, so that you can inspect the homeless without checking the account."

2. Today refers to people who have no proper jobs.

Ye Shengtao's Night of Diaphragm Terror: "How dangerous the present situation of this town is! If vagrants and hooligans take the opportunity to make trouble, who can deal with it? "

3. refers to people who have no fixed occupation.

Da Dai Cheng: "In ancient times, there were no vagrants. During the festival, the people live in their own homes, enjoy their palaces, offer letters, and deliver letters up and down. Local immigrants are there. " Wang explained: "vagrants don't learn agriculture, industry and commerce." Su Songzhe's "The Front Line under the People-friendly Policy": "Therefore, I want to collect the mediocrity of vagrants, so that there are no lucky people in the world, so as to solve the difficulties of farmers." Ming Lu Xiangsheng's "Tunzheng Book": "Be sure that there are no refugees in the countryside and there is enough food and grass." Rong's second poem "Cherish the Wild": "Wanderers go to the countryside and lie by the ditch."

A vagrant is a person who has lost his position in the mainstream society. The space they entrusted is called Jianghu, where the wind and waves are sinister and it is difficult to eat enough. What they are pursuing is "dividing gold and silver on a large scale and eating wine and meat in a big bowl", and one day they will be able to "get rich and become Thailand". "If you want to be an official, murder and arson are all embraced" is their good wish; "Emperors take turns to do it and come to my house next year" is their highest ideal. They have no principle, "milk is mother." On the one hand, they are very heroic, on the other hand, they are good at fishing, and they feel guilty without any contradiction. What they are obsessed with is lawless freedom and equality of "elder brother is not small, younger brother is not small". However, once organized, there is no room for any difference in the top spot of Zhongyi Hall. Their highest moral standard is "loyalty", "relying on parents at home and friends when going out". Whether friends are reliable or not depends on whether they are loyal enough. The god who represents loyalty is Guan Yu who is "loyal to the future".
