There is a saying that "men are afraid of having their heads touched, and women are afraid of having their waists touched." Literally, it means that men are most taboo about having their heads touched, while women are taboo about having their waists touched. It is not difficult to understand. China is a country of etiquette. Since ancient times, the head has been considered to be the head of the body and a symbol of a person's dignity and authority. Adult men have to pay more attention to face. They are the backbone and pillar of the family. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, their heads are more noble and cannot be touched casually by others. But parents or elders are excepted, because when parents and elders touch their own heads, they mainly express encouragement and love for their children. If friends who are close to each other touch their heads, there is no big problem, because each other We have a very good relationship, and no one would mind small things like touching our heads. But if a stranger touches your head, it is tantamount to a humiliation and is not allowed.

As for "women are afraid of touching their waists", in ancient times, it was important for men and women not to be intimate with each other. A woman's chastity is simply more important than her own life. The waist is a very secretive part of women. If someone touches it, It would look very shameful. Especially when a girl grows up, even her father and brothers are not allowed to touch their daughter's waist casually. Only her husband can touch a woman's waist, and no other members of the opposite sex can touch her, otherwise it would be considered unchaste.

Of course, these are superficial meanings that are easy to understand. As for the rumors and stories behind them, few people know. Let’s tell you about it today.

First let’s talk about the allusion of “men are afraid of having their heads touched”. It is said that in the Western Han Dynasty, there was a general who was invincible in a hundred battles. Everyone called him General Tietou because he had practiced Tietou Gong since he was a child, and his head was as hard as iron. , the iron-headed troops he led were simply invincible, making the Huns army frightened. Therefore, the Huns thought about how to kill General Tietou, and sent many masters to assassinate him. However, whether these detailed works or Deadpool, all ended in failure.

The one who succeeded in the end was a Hun woman who knew nothing about martial arts. Because she lived on the border and her father was a famous doctor, she had been proficient in Chinese since she was a child and was good at medicine. She pretended to be a medical girl and sneaked into General Tietou's military camp. Because she treated many soldiers, she gradually gained General Tietou's trust and gradually fell in love with her. While they were sleeping in the same bed, the Hun woman took advantage of General Tietou's uncontrollable mood and touched his head, muttering a spell... General Tietou's Iron Tou Gong was broken. It is said that his His head was hung at the gate of the military camp, and the Huns took the opportunity to sneak attack, and his army was instantly routed. Since then, the legend of "men are afraid of having their heads touched" has been passed down. Men are afraid of having their heads touched, especially by strange women.

Let me tell you another story about "women are afraid of touching their waists". According to legend, during the Tang Dynasty, women regarded fatness as their beauty. Slender women were not easy to marry. They must be round and plump to meet the aesthetic standards. A woman's waist size is the most important body review standard. When a matchmaker comes to talk to a matchmaker, he or she must use a soft ruler to measure the girl's waist size, which is what we now call her waist circumference. It is difficult to marry a woman who is too thin.

But because of such an ancient custom, it was taken advantage of by a villain with ulterior motives. According to legend, in a small town, young women disappeared one after another, and these women all met a matchmaker because they were said to be married. The matchmaker touched their waists and measured their measurements. According to legend, this matchmaker turned out to be a demon man disguised as a woman. Because he needed to collect yin and replenish yang for cultivation, he captured many young unmarried women and killed them all. After this tragic story, the rumor that "women are afraid of having their waist touched" gradually spread.

Perhaps these two stories are just rumors and have no basis. They are just for everyone to listen and chat to relieve boredom. However, among them, men should pay attention to dignity, and women should know how to be reserved and self-loving. This is something we should recognize and abide by.
