Reading guide: As the saying goes, "If you don't touch it when you go out, you will have a lot of trouble", which four things can't be touched? Does it still make sense?
From ancient times to the present, no matter who goes out, the most important thing is peace. The older generation often says that "peace is a blessing", and this is indeed true, only health and peace are the greatest blessings.
Now there are some old people, they often tell young people: "Don't touch when you go out, touch a lot of trouble", this is also a piece of advice handed down by the ancestors, saying that when you go out, you must control your hands, and you can't touch or play with everything.
In particular, there are four things that you can't touch, otherwise you will bring trouble or disaster to yourself. So what are the four things that can't be touched? Does it still make sense? Let's take a look!
"If you don't touch it when you go out, you will have a lot of trouble", which four things can't be touched?
This is a folk proverb that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has far-reaching meanings. It is not only a respect for the dignity of the ancient profession and personal boundaries, but also contains a profound enlightenment for interpersonal communication in modern society.
Among them, the "four do not touch" refer to the carpenter's axe, the chef's knife, the girl's waist, and the man's head.
(1) A carpenter's axe.
In the past, carpenters had many rules, for example, if the family was too poor, if the family invited a carpenter to help the family make furniture, the owner should respect and attach great importance to it, and in terms of food, he should take the best meal to entertain the guests.
But the carpenter has to abide by the rules, that is, he usually only eats ordinary dishes, and does not use chopsticks for good dishes. Fish, in particular, was scarce in those days, and it was generally not eaten until the day of the day.
For another example, carpenters also have rules for the placement of tools, and the serrations are all facing inward, and they are not allowed to "show their teeth". They have a mantra: "If you have a tooth open, you will have bad intentions when you look at it." ”
This is their graphic depiction of the dangers of jagged outwards. At that time, many people began to apprentice with carpenters since they were young, and if they were negligent in making the sawtooth "show their teeth" when doing things, they would be scolded by the master carpenter in the harshest way.
At the same time, there is also a very important one, that is, the carpenter's axe and other tools, outsiders are not allowed to touch, this is a taboo for carpenters. I remember when I was a child, my family also found a carpenter to make furniture, and when I came that day, my parents told us children that we should never touch the carpenter's tools.
Once, the neighbor's child was naughty, so he took the carpenter's planer to play, and then the master carpenter was very angry and lectured them in front of the child's parents.
In ancient times, there was a rule that carpenters' tools should not be touched, especially tools such as axes. That's because carpenters have strict rules for the placement and use of tools, which is not only a consideration for safety, but also a commitment to professionalism.
Outsiders should not easily touch the carpenter's axe, which is not only a respect for the carpenter's professionalism, but also to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by misuse or damage to the tool. For example, if you put it in the wrong place, the other party can't find it, and it's also very troublesome.
What's more, the indiscriminate use of other people's tools can easily lead to damage to the tools, which will affect their work, after all, these tools are very important to the carpenter.
This custom is still instructive in modern society: respecting the professional field of others, not easily interfering or questioning, is the basis for building good interpersonal relationships.
And the more professional the personnel, the more professional their tools tend to be, some seem ordinary, but they are valuable, and some still have special significance, so they can't be touched, even if they are curious.
(2) Chef's knife
The chef's knife, like the carpenter's axe, is an indispensable tool in their respective fields. For chefs, a sharp knife is not only a sharp weapon for cooking food, but also the key to showing cooking skills and conquering the taste buds of diners.
In ancient times, many chefs would have a knife pinned to their waist, and this is what it values the most, and it is also its most powerful tool. Don't underestimate this knife, it is sharpened and can be broken by blowing.
There are even many knives brought by chefs, which are handed down by their ancestors or passed down from their ancestors, which are extremely precious, so naturally outsiders cannot touch them casually.
A knife that is very ordinary outside of everyone may cost tens of thousands of yuan at every turn. And many of them are not necessarily available on the market, and if they are broken, it will be a big trouble.
Just as ancient chefs regarded knives as treasures, modern chefs take great care of them. Because, a good knife can not only improve work efficiency, but also ensure the quality and taste of dishes.
Outsiders are not allowed to touch the chef's knife at will, which is not only a recognition of the chef's skills, but also a respect for the fruits of his labor.
This principle, which is still applicable in modern society, reminds us to enjoy food while respecting the chef and his professional tools behind the scenes.
(3) The girl's waist
There is no need to explain too much about this, basically most people also know that when interacting with the opposite sex, if it is not a particularly close relationship, such as not a boyfriend or girlfriend, then "the girl's waist can't be touched", this saying directly reflects the respect and protection of women's body privacy in ancient society.
In ancient times, this aspect was taken very seriously, as the so-called "men and women do not kiss", I believe many people have also heard that in ancient times, women's bodies were regarded as sacred and inviolable, and even more important than life.
The waist, which is a very sensitive part for women, is also very private, and is regarded as a symbol of chastity and dignity. At that time, the clothes were all about wrapping the waist tightly, and it would be considered bad to be seen by others, let alone touched.
Although in modern society, thinking is not as conservative as before, for example, many women wear clothes, and most of their waists are exposed. But even so, you can't touch the waist of the opposite sex.
Because this is also respecting the physical boundaries and privacy of others, casual touch is disrespectful to others, and it is a violation of their bodies. With the progress of society and the popularization of the concept of gender equality, we should always remind ourselves that everyone should enjoy bodily autonomy regardless of gender, and should not be touched or violated by others at will.
(4) A man's head
This point, mainly for the majority of male compatriots, is talking about the fact that men's heads are also very sensitive parts, even if they have a good relationship, they cannot be touched at will.
This mainly reflects the importance that ancient society attached to the dignity and authority of men. In ancient societies, men tended to bear the heavy responsibilities of family and society, and their heads were seen as a symbol of status and status.
Therefore, touching a man's head at will is seen as a provocation and disrespect for his dignity. Although this concept has gradually faded in modern society, the principle of respecting others and not easily invading their personal space still applies.
Whether male or female, everyone should be treated with due respect and understanding, and should not be treated unfairly because of gender, status and other factors.
Seeing this, everyone should also understand that although the saying of the ancients "don't touch when you go out, you will have a lot of trouble" originated from ancient society, but the wisdom and truth contained in it transcended time and space, and still has profound enlightenment significance for modern society.
It reminds us that in interpersonal interactions, we should always maintain respect and understanding for others, and do not easily touch the bottom line and privacy of others. Only in this way can we establish a harmonious and stable network of interpersonal relationships in this complex and ever-changing society, and jointly create a better future. #夏日生活打卡季#
