Because some people are jealous of writing with a red pen, which leads to friends breaking up, there is also a saying that writing with a red pen is breaking up. But personally, I don't think it is necessary to write a dear John letter in red. Isn't there a saying that "it's good to be apart"?
The ancients also said, "A gentleman should break up with you, and you should not make an ugly voice." After all, friends are friends, so why not be generous?
In ancient times, people wrote letters in red pen to prepare for urgent or important things. Cinnabar was used at that time. Now, one is for beauty, and the other is that writing a letter with a red pen means breaking up.
Why do some people think it is not appropriate to write their names in red ink?
Usually, people who die will write their names in red, just like on a tombstone, and always draw them in red. Even death row inmates who are about to be executed write their names in red ink.
For this reason, writing someone's name in red in normal life is an infringement on others.
Why can't ordinary people's names be in scarlet letters?
If you search "Why can't people's names be written in red", there will be a standard answer, which can be summarized as follows:
1. In the past, the emperor approved the memorial with a scarlet pen called Zhu Pi. No one can give instructions in scarlet letters except the emperor.
2. The person sentenced to death will write his name on the betting number with chicken blood, which later evolved into writing in red.
There is a folk saying that "Dan Shu is ominous". In addition to the above, there is a folk saying that Yan Yan crossed the book of life and death with a cinnabar pen, and those who were crossed by cinnabar strokes were undoubtedly sentenced to death.
You can't write a letter with a red pen. The scarlet letter means to sever diplomatic relations. If you write someone else's name in red, it is also a curse to others to die.
Similar to the above, you can't circle other people's names. In the list of names in books and newspapers, if the name is marked with a black box, it means that it is dead. )
These are not feudal superstitions, but folk taboos. This taboo is nothing if the people of the whole country don't know it, but it is usually: some people know it, and some people don't know it. If people who know this practice see it, they may understand that the writer doesn't know it, or they may think that this person is uneducated or malicious. It is embarrassing and rude to write the name of a client or teacher in red and point it out.
Many people will have the experience of writing someone else's name in red pen but being corrected by their parents or teachers. Sometimes they may be told clearly why, but more often they are just told that it is impolite or bad to write like this, so they know why.
Parents or teachers may know it without saying it, or they may not know it themselves. The reason why I ask everyone to find out the answer by guiding is that I hope I can thoroughly understand the cause and effect, so that if I encounter similar situations, especially when educating children or students in the future, I can explain the reasons in detail.
