In ancient times, there was an upright official named Ye Cunren. When he retired in his later years, his subordinates gave him a boat, expressing his praise for his clean politics and respect for his character. However, Ye Cunren refused the kindness of his subordinates. "I am not afraid of others knowing, but I know" is the reason for his refusal.
The real God is not where you hold your head three feet high, but in your heart and mine. Only by being upright can we be upright and not afraid of shadows. People are human because we know how to control our desires and abide by the rules in our hearts. These are the basics of being a man.
Therefore, even though thousands of years have passed, modern people have long believed in the ghost wheel, but they still regard this sentence as their own warning and always remind themselves to be aboveboard.
The connotation of holding one's head three feet high is:
As the saying goes, "Hold your head three feet high, with God's help", the connotation is that if human beings do bad things against their conscience, even if they can escape the punishment of laws or rules, they can't actually escape the constraints of the gods. It is said that many things are not reported before the time.
As long as you do something bad, you will be punished, which is basically the same as the causal theory of Buddhism. Because the ancients believed in God very much, they would go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha once things went wrong in their lives.
According to the ancient rules of worshipping Buddha or God, God is usually three feet above the altar. As long as you sincerely pray and worship, it will appear. Later, it was extended to advise the world not to do bad things, because God is everywhere.
Later, there was another saying, "Look up three feet to see clearly." . In fact, the phrase "people can be deceived, but the sky can't be deceived" is also to advise the world that everything will be seen by the gods in heaven, so don't do bad things, don't do evil things. Only Kidd can do good deeds and avoid being punished by the gods.
