(Things), I will not wait any longer and forgive.

This is a custom among Chinese people, who like to use "three" as a checkpoint.

This custom is widely used. Take the characters as an example: three people are "zhong" (note that this character is not the current simplified character, it has existed in ancient times), three trees are "sen", and three waters are "miao" ...Use "three" as a boundary to distinguish individual people and masses, individual trees and forests, individual water flows and vast marshes... Take words as examples: think three times, repeat three times, three volts, three armies, three fresh things, three possessions, three hands, Three no matter what, three villages, three jumps, three moves of Mencius' mother, three obediences and four virtues, three longs and two shorts, three aunts and six wives, three silences, three visits to thatched cottages, three dynasty elders, three religions and nine streams, three heads and six arms, three lives of luck, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets... I can write the above. Bai emphasizes the "three" big boundary words, changing it to two seems too little, and changing it to four seems too much.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius quoted "I examine myself three times a day" in "The Analects of Confucius", saying that I should examine my faults three times a day and set three as an appropriate number; Confucius also said The famous saying is "If three people are walking together, there must be my teacher", so limit it to three people. If there are two people, it is a bit far-fetched that the other person must be a teacher. More than three people are not enough to show the widespread existence of teachers. Therefore, if there are three people together, there must be someone among them who can be called his teacher in some way. If you think about it carefully, it makes sense to teach people to be humble and respectful to others.

“There are only three things that can be done” is still often talked about.

If a friend misses a date three times or speaks harshly to you three times, it probably means that he doesn’t value your date or is no longer a close friend
