When traveling, you should remember that "one person should not enter the temple, and two people should not look at the well." What is the reason for this?

There are many old sayings in China, which may seem simple in meaning, but they contain great truth. The complete meaning of this ancient saying is "One person should not enter the temple, two people should not look into the well, and three people should not hug the tree." Literally, it is very simple and easy to understand, that is, "One person should not enter the temple alone, and two people should not hug the tree together." When you go to see a well, three people should not lift the tree." However, it contains a profound warning to people.

First let’s talk about the origin of “No one can enter the temple”. The temple here does not refer to the temples that are popular nowadays. We can know from watching TV or reading books that in ancient times, there were many large and small temples. At that time, there were often some robbers or wanderers in the temples. Han went to stay overnight. It was very unsafe for a person to stay overnight in the temple. There was a high probability that he would be robbed and his life would be in danger. Women, in particular, are not allowed to enter and leave those wild temples alone. Think of Princess Tianzhu in "Journey to the West", who can only protect herself in the temple by pretending to be crazy and acting stupid.

Let's talk about "Two people don't look at the well", there is also an allusion in it. We all know that in ancient times, only by passing the imperial examination can one gain fame and have a chance to stand out in the future. What is said here is that two scholars went to Beijing together to take the exam. Due to the long distance, when they were walking halfway, they brought silver coins and There was not much dry food left. At this time, one of the scholars had evil intentions and wanted to kill the other person and take the other person's money as his own. Not long after, they met a well on the way, and the scholar went over to the well to get some water. At this time, another man pushed him into the well, took his silver and dry food and left. This story, think about it, is it similar to the King of Wuji Kingdom in "Journey to the West"?

In fact, there is also "three people don't hug the tree", which means three people should not lift the tree together. One thing we all know is that if three people lift the tree together, two people should be at the head and tail, and one person should be at the bottom. In the middle, the strength of the person in the middle is the most important. Whichever end he approaches, it will be much easier. If two people conspire to harm the other person, the middle person only needs to be close to his accomplice, and the other person will be very dangerous, ranging from being injured to being injured.

In fact, these are the warnings left by our ancestors: we must be on guard against others, and we must not have the intention of harming others! When you go out, especially when a girl is alone, you must be vigilant at all times and do not trust others easily!
