    In ancient times, socialization was also a headache, and after many generations of summary, many sayings have been handed down about teaching people how to deal with interpersonal relationships.

    As a vein of traditional culture, the proverb is a summary of the folk people through their own life experience, some are descriptions of folk life, and some are thinking about life, because they are easy to understand and catchy, so they are widely spread among the people.

    There are many proverbs behind them, which are still out of date, and mastering the essence of these sayings may be helpful to our life and work.

    As the saying goes, "the back of the turtle and the snake waist cannot be crossed, and you don't need a knife to look at people", the ancestors' skills of recognizing people, but if you don't investigate deeply, these two sentences are easy to misunderstand.

    The so-called "turtle back" is thought by many people to mean "hunchback", but in fact, there is no connection between the two. Hunchback is caused by the curvature of the spine, and it has nothing to do with human character. Turtle back, on the other hand, refers to the unnatural arching of the back when talking to others.

    From the ancestors' point of view, if a person talks "on the back of a turtle", this person is either flattering and pandering, or he is calculating something bad in his heart, he is either calculating something or calculating someone. Therefore, such people should not be associated, because they are not sure when they will be calculated.

    The main meaning of this sentence should be, let's not be around people with twisted minds.

    The so-called "snake waist" usually refers to a woman with a slender figure and a graceful figure. Don't think of it as a thin and soft waist like a snake, many beauty-loving ladies have a water snake waist, and they can always attract the attention of men, from ancient times to the present.

    In ancient times, women from normal families wore relatively strict clothes, and they were not likely to expose their body curves and walk up, nor were they likely to deliberately walk catwalks.

    There is only one exception, and that is the Qinglou woman, if the woman behaves like this, she is considered to be suspected of seducing a man, and people will say that such a woman does not abide by women's morals.

    Such a man is scheming, left and right, and is good at taking advantage of the people around him, and too much contact with this kind of person will only make him suffer.

    The same kind of woman is often very feminine and will not hesitate to "stab a knife" in the back of others for her own interests. In other words, "red face and trouble" should be "retreated".

    In the eyes of the ancients, people with "turtles and snakes" are likely to be psychologically distorted, although they only account for a small part, it is better not to contact them.

    And those who like to show off themselves when they walk are not good people at first glance, so they must also cut off contact.
