Chinese culture is broad and profound, long-standing, all-encompassing, one of the branches, is the colloquialism, colloquialism is a summary of the ancient people's daily production and life, is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, some sayings, do not look on the surface looks easy to understand, read catchy, however, but concise, full of meaning. The field of colloquialism is extremely extensive, and some of them involve the wisdom of dealing with the world, such as the saying to be spoken today - "There is water on the road, and there are ghosts on the small road".
The second half of many sayings, in order to attract people's attention, enhance people's impressions, but also in order to better pass on, there will be exaggerated expression methods, the saying itself is containing the role of warning and admonition, if people can't listen to it, then there is no meaning, therefore, the exaggeration of the colloquialism, is excusable. The same is true of this saying, the second half of the proverbial phrase "there are ghosts on the path", not only for the "water" harmonic sound of the first half of the sentence, but also impressive.

Due to the inconvenience of transportation, it is not easy for the ancients to go out a long way, as the saying goes, it is recommended that people take the big road, the big road refers to the road with more pedestrians, the "water" here can be understood as the water source along the way, the tea house, they can provide resources for pedestrians, relatively speaking, it is much safer to take the big road.
In addition, water can also be rivers and lakes, which can be understood as obstruction, and it does not have much to do with taking the road to encounter these, because there are more pedestrians, and everyone is in the same boat, so naturally they can get through the difficulties.
In the eyes of the ancients, "water" represented wealth, and "great road" also referred to the kangzhuang road or the right way in the world, so the ancients believed that it was necessary to take the right path to success. Because of this understanding, "the road has water" has also evolved into "the road has water can make money"

Since there are big roads, there are naturally small roads, and since the big roads are wide and easy to travel, why do people take narrow and difficult paths? The answer is that trails are shortcuts and are considered to be the faster path to success. However, although the trail is short, the risk factor is high, the trail is inaccessible, and it has become a place where green forest bandits and mountain beasts are infested, so it is called "there are ghosts on the path", and finally evolved into: "There are ghosts on the path that will invite disasters"
In addition, the path is also considered to be the left side of the door, the evil door crooked road, good and evil will eventually be rewarded, through the ages, walking on the evil door and crooked road, to do things that have lost the conscience, will eventually be judged by justice.
There are no ghosts in the world, the body is not afraid of the shadow oblique, people do not do bad things, in the middle of the night are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, if in order to take shortcuts, and do things that are unconscionable, then the heart will not be at peace, such people, are ghosts in their hearts.
