On the occasion of May Day travel, I am often repeatedly told by my parents and elders to remind me to pay attention to my words and deeds when traveling abroad to avoid unnecessary troubles and conflicts.
The old people often say, "If you don't touch it when you go out, you will have a lot of troubles".
Although this sentence is simple, it contains a profound truth.
What exactly do the "four non-touches" refer to, and what are the terrible consequences of touching them?
1
Men don't touch their heads, women don't touch their waists
The old man often said, "Men don't touch their heads, and women don't touch their waists." ”
The head and waist are important and involve dignity, privacy, and social etiquette.
The head is the "commanding height" of the body and is regarded as the most noble and sacred part of the human body.
Adult males, in particular, represent a person's dignity and authority and therefore deserve special respect and protection.
Touching a man's head in public is a violation of dignity and can lead to conflict.
The head is a symbol of spirit and vitality, and casual touching may affect fortune and is considered unlucky.
A woman's waist is also a sensitive and intimate part that should not be touched at will.
In ancient times, it represented feminine charm and chastity.
Touching a woman's waist at will, an invasion of privacy, can make them uncomfortable and embarrassed.
When traveling on May Day, be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't touch people's heads and waists at will to avoid offense.

Do not touch the carpenter's axe and the barber's razor
As the old saying goes, "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." ”
The carpenter's axe and the barber's razor, symbolizing skill, are tools for making a living.
Long-term use and honing make tools a part of their body.
If a carpenter's axe and razor are touched or used at will, it not only damages the tools and affects the effectiveness of the work, but also may cause safety problems and health risks, triggering their dissatisfaction and resentment.
"Don't touch the carpenter's axe and the barber's razor" is also a respect and inheritance of the craftsman's spirit.
To touch or use these tools at will is to blaspheme and destroy this spirit and morality.
When traveling on May Day, when you encounter carpenters or barbers working, you should keep your distance, be respectful, and do not touch tools.

Don't touch a bachelor's luggage
A bachelor is an unmarried or single man who lives a simple and independent life.
A bachelor's luggage is usually loaded with personal belongings and necessities and is an important part of the journey.
Not touching a bachelor's luggage is social etiquette and respect.
Bachelor's baggage may include clothing, personal items, documents, savings, etc.
These are the necessities of life, as well as privacy.
Bachelors generally travel alone, and their luggage is unattended, and they need to be respected and protected.
Touching or rummaging through a bachelor's luggage at will not only violates privacy and property rights, but can also lead to conflicts and disputes.
When traveling on May Day, respect the privacy and property rights of others, and do not touch or rummage other people's luggage.
If you need help or ask for information, it's okay to politely ask the other person instead of taking it personally.

Non-Mouth Bag
Pockets often hold important personal items such as mobile phones, wallets, keys, etc.
In public places, touching your pockets frequently can become an unsafe habit.
This kind of behavior can easily attract the attention of criminals.
Thieves tend to tell if they are carrying valuables by observing people's movements and habits.
Frequent pocket checks can attract thieves and increase the risk of theft.
In crowded public places, pocket-touching can also trigger unnecessary physical contact and friction.
When people are huddled together, one careless person may touch other people's bodies or objects, which can cause misunderstandings and can also lead to unnecessary disputes.
Old people often say "don't touch your pockets", which is not only a suggestion for safety precautions, but also a kind of wisdom to avoid trouble.
When you're out and about, try to avoid touching your pockets frequently in public places, especially when you're in a crowded or crowded environment.
You should also be vigilant and take care of your belongings.
