Why can't men touch their heads and women touch their feet? What does this have to do with Huangdi Neijing?

"Men don't touch their heads and women don't touch their feet" has a deep meaning. There is an old saying in ancient China: "A man's head and a woman's feet can only be seen, but not touched". This sentence also has profound meaning, so why is this? Today I will take you to interpret the origin of this statement.

In ancient China, men had long braids, and women's feet needed to be tied. It is said that feet are wrapped in layers of cloth, but in ancient times, women's feet and private parts were treated equally. If a boy touches a woman's feet casually, or a woman touches a man's head, it is an unusual relationship, which is why men can't touch their heads and women can't touch their feet.

A man's head is the most important part of his identity. Generally, only elders will touch the head of a child or a man. Others will show disrespect when they touch it, which is also a contempt for men. Ancient times was a patriarchal society. Seeing a person's status is reflected by wearing clothes and hats. The hat here means head.

The average woman's feet can't be touched without special intimacy. We often see it in ancient TV dramas. Because a woman is hurt, if a man looks at her or touches her, then the man will marry her. Ancient women also paid great attention to her feet. Three-inch golden lotus is an aesthetic.

From a physiological point of view, why men can't touch their heads and women can't touch their feet is well-founded, not just nonsense. This theory comes from the theory of yin and yang. It is mentioned in Huangdi Neijing that the male is yang, the female is yin, the upper abdomen is yang, and the lower abdomen is yin ... "So the human head is also the yang in the yang, that is, the top of the yang; A woman's feet are the yin in the yin, the extreme of yin. The old book says, "Although your feet are at the bottom, you can relax. "

In fact, another most important reason is the close relationship between feet and sexual organs. The vulva in the lower part of the human body belongs to the foot and is close to the vulva. Generally, women will feel electric shock during orgasm, which generally radiates from the inner thigh to the feet. So men can't touch their heads and women can't touch their feet.

My mind is full of Yang Jing. "The head is the head of a hundred skeletons, the meeting of the whole yang, the Sect of the five elements, high and round, like Tiande." Because it is a "all-yang meeting", we sometimes get angry, get acne, have a fever, have a toothache and so on. It is on our heads and faces, so we also advocate washing our faces with cold water in health care, which aims at the place where the yang meridian meets, which can resolve the cold.

The foot is just the opposite. We have never heard of anyone whose feet will get angry, but we are afraid of the cold. We can always hear that the cold starts from the feet, so it is also the reason that we need to soak our feet with hot water in health care. Therefore, the concept of washing your face with cold water and washing your feet with hot water is advocated in health care.

Conclusion: With the development of society, people's minds are now open, which is gradually fading between men and women. Personally, I think it is necessary to keep these old traditional things. Unfamiliar people should pay attention to it, which is also a kind of respect for people.
