2. Don’t let water from a well interfere with water from a river. ——From the 69th chapter of "A Dream of Red Mansions" by Cao Xueqin of the Qing Dynasty: "He and I are 'well water does not interfere with the river water', so why did we rush him?"
Explanation: It is a metaphor that each mind his own business and does not care about each other. Offend each other.
Origin: Well water and river water do not refer to water on the ground, but to the stars in the sky. Jingyuan refers to Jingsu among the twenty-eight constellations, also called Dongjing, which is the Gemini constellation in Western astronomy theory, which is near the Milky Way.
The river refers to the Milky Way. In the northeast and southeast of Dongjing, there are two famous constellations named Beihe and Nanhe. They were regarded by the ancients as the guardians of the Milky Way. Once something strange happens, If it changes, the world will suffer. In ancient times, people said that water in a well does not interfere with water in a river, which refers to the astronomical phenomenon that the three constellations of Dongjing, Beihe, and Nanhe do not interfere with each other and coexist harmoniously. In other words, the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river. It was originally a method used by the ancients to predict misfortunes and fortunes by observing the sky.
