As the saying goes: 'No matter how hungry you are, don't eat a grave offering, and no matter how tired you are, don't sit on a human meat stool.' What is a human meat stool?

In fact, in ancient times, the dissemination and exchange of information was far less developed than today, and many people could not afford to go to school. The general low level of education makes them very superstitious about Feng Shui. From weddings and funerals to placing items at home, you must ask Mr. Feng Shui or look ahead for directions.

Moreover, many proverbs have been handed down from ancient times. For example, this proverb says, "If you are hungry, you will not make an offering at the grave, and if you are tired, you will not sit on a human stool." So what does this sentence mean, and what does a human stool mean?

01

Don't eat grave offerings if you're hungry

First of all, we need to know that there are many sayings after the death of the ancients, including cremation, children crying and so on. Some of these etiquettes have been eliminated or optimized with the development of society, and some have been preserved. For example, the ancients believed that people have souls after death, and the dead can also receive tributes from the world in another world, so we can see that some tributes will be placed in front of the grave for the dead to "enjoy".

The etiquette of this society has been passed down to this day. Not everyone is superstitious, but everyone would rather have a good sustenance than die like a lamp. I hope my dead relatives and friends can live a good life in another world. Therefore, in modern times, we can also see that every time we go to the tomb, the tomb will be filled with offerings.

But it should be noted that no matter it is ancient or modern, the tributes in front of the tomb cannot be eaten, even if you are hungry. why? According to the ancients, the dead are in another world, which is different from ours. Their Yin Qi is very heavy. If we eat them rashly and "eat" the tribute, then we will do some harm to our body.

In fact, the above are just the feudal superstitions of the ancients, but even in modern times, it is not recommended that everyone eat tribute in front of the tomb. This is because the tribute in front of the tomb is dedicated to the deceased. If we eat rashly, it is also disrespectful to the dead. We cannot overcome our inner barriers. Secondly, some tributes are placed for too long, which may attract some insects and other things, so the tributes are also very unclean, and we will inevitably cause stomachaches, physical discomfort, etc. if we eat rashly, so generally speaking, the proverbs of the ancients are reasonable, " If you are hungry, you will not eat the offerings before the grave."

02

No matter how tired you are, don't sit on the human stool

So what does the second sentence "No matter how tired you are, don't sit on a human stool" mean here? What does "human stool" mean? Actually, at first glance, I'm sure you'll find it a little scary. What are human stools made of? Isn't it... Actually, we really think too much. The so-called human stools are, to put it bluntly, other people's legs. The meaning of this sentence is literal, which is to say, no matter how tired you are, don't sit on someone's lap.

This is because it was very feudal in ancient times, especially some contacts between people, we should pay attention to etiquette and etiquette. For example, in ancient times, we paid great attention to the friendship between gentlemen, and even the best friends would not hook up. At most, we should drink tea, talk or eat together...

That's how it is with men, let alone women. In ancient times, women were generally not allowed to go out at will. Even if you need to go out under special circumstances, you should cover your face with a veil. Moreover, you can't talk to strangers at will, or even look at the other party as "disobedient to women". Therefore, we can also see how feudal the society was at that time, and how low the status of women was. Of course, this is all a later story.

Don't sit on human stool here means don't sit on other people's lap no matter what, women can't do this "immoral" Yes, men can't sit on other people's lap as a courtesy. So we can understand that ancient times don’t sit on human stools, but in fact, from a modern point of view, we can also understand, because sitting on someone’s lap can be said to be a very intimate gesture, even in modern times , same-sex fights are also good.

If the opposite sex sits on the lap, it will inevitably cause reverie, or make others misunderstand the relationship between the two people, so if it is not a relationship between a man and a woman, try to avoid sitting on a "human stool", which is also to avoid embarrassment yourself and cause some unnecessary troubles. misunderstanding.

From a scientific point of view, if we keep a posture all the time, it is not conducive to the blood circulation of the legs, which is why our legs always like to be numb. Nowadays, there are many young people who love beauty very much, and usually don't pay much attention to the warmth and maintenance of their legs. It happens that there are many blood vessels in the legs, so many people's legs are prone to illness or old cold legs, so we should also pay more attention to the warmth and maintenance of the legs.

So it is not recommended that you sit on someone else's lap, because it is equivalent to putting all your weight on someone else, which can easily cause blood circulation in the other's leg and light leg numbness. If the other party's leg has other diseases, then it is not clear. Therefore, for the sake of health and to avoid many unnecessary disputes and misunderstandings, even in modern times, it is not recommended to sit on other people's laps.

epilogue

There is an old saying that does not listen to the words of the elders, which means that there is some truth to what the elders say. After all, they have eaten more salt than we have traveled, and they have a lot of experience.

While most of their ideas are inevitably too old, we still need to learn from their ideas and ways of doing things. After all, we can learn different ideas and save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

It also tells us from the side that although we live in the era of rapid development of information explosion technology, we should not be blind and arrogant, learn to cover everything, learn from the thoughts of hundreds of families, and learn from the teachings of our elders. Only in this way can we go further and achieve greater success in our field!
