Many people have lived in cities since childhood, and when they go to rural areas, mountainous areas and other places to play, they will hear many local people say some common sayings to us, sometimes they don't know what they mean, such as "the tortoise goes up the mountain, but the pheasant can't touch it when it goes down the mountain". Many people may be at a loss. What does this mean? Why can't they touch them? What happens if they touch it? So let's talk about it today. What do you mean, "the tortoise goes up the mountain, but the pheasant goes down the mountain?" Does it make sense? Might as well know.

Why can't you catch turtles on the mountain? In fact, this has something to do with the traditional culture of China. I believe everyone is familiar with the old saying, "A thousand-year-old turtle is a thousand-year-old turtle". A turtle can live for 1000 years, which is quite spiritual. In ancient culture, turtles were regarded as wild animals. Putting the tortoise and the tortoise together shows that the tortoise is also spiritual. Turtles belong to amphibians, but most of the time they are close to water sources, and there are few water sources on the mountain, so turtles going up the mountain are regarded as unlucky symbols.

Moreover, we all know that soft-shelled turtles are amphibious things. They spend most of their time in the water and rarely go ashore. Then if they go ashore, there must be a last resort, and that is to lay eggs. Although the turtles are easy to catch at this time, the turtles caught at this time are a nest, not one. Many soft-shelled turtles will be eaten before they are born in their mothers' stomachs, so many people will not catch soft-shelled turtles in this situation, but actually do good things for themselves.

We can't touch pheasants when we go down the mountain, actually for our own safety. As we all know, pheasants are different from domestic chickens. Although they can't fly, their wings can glide far. The terrain under the mountain is more like a duck to water for pheasants, but it is somewhat difficult for people. The so-called uphill is easier than downhill. If you do see a pheasant, don't chase it, because it's easy to fall if you don't pay attention. Don't hurt yourself for catch the pheasant. That's not cost-effective.

Don't stretch your hand ashore, the pheasant can't chase down the mountain! Although this sentence is an exhortation to human behavior, it hides the wisdom of being a man: you can't covet immediate interests and give up long-term interests; If you don't see the benefits, you will disregard your personal safety. Therefore, the wisdom left by our ancestors through experience and lessons is the wisdom of Chinese civilization for thousands of years.
