What does this Chinese character mean?
The talent in the eight characters refers to the talent of skills and abilities. In ancient times, education was not compulsory for everyone. Only when you have money can you afford to read and learn a skill to make a living. Do you have money with you? In ancient times, you fought for your father. Therefore, the eight-character talent also represents dad, and dad is good! My father is a local tyrant, so I went to an aristocratic school: my father is an Orion, so he taught me hunting skills; Dad is a blacksmith, so he taught me to strike iron; Dad is a farmer, so he taught me how to find food with a cow's ass. In a word, raising a father is a mistake, so a father should teach his children survival skills. The modern eight characters are more generalized, not only the skills handed down from the father, but also the skills that these eight characters can learn by themselves, all of which are considered talents. The eight characters represent the art of settling down.
