What is the meaning of the sentence "don't pick up meat on the mountain, don't touch fish in the water"? Does the ancestor's words make sense?

There are many proverbs in life, which were summed up by the ancients through experience, and some experiences still have certain reference significance until now.

In this article, I want to tell you that the proverb "Don't pick up meat on the mountain, don't touch fish in the water" is easy to explain literally. It can be understood that you can't pick up meat on the mountain and fish in the water. Why? There are many reasons. Besides, what does this proverb mean? It is also worth thinking about.

The following is divided into two aspects to talk to you about the reasons and implications of "there is no meat picking up on the mountain and no fish picking up in the water". After reading it, everyone will have an answer.

From the point of view of safety and hygiene.

You can't pick the meat on the mountain, and you can't pick the fish in the water, mainly for hygiene and safety, for health.

The proverb uses the word "pick up". What does this mean? Under normal circumstances, only dead animals or dead fish can be picked up.

If it is alive, it is "grasping" or "grasping".

Besides, the animal carcasses on the mountain may have died of illness or external causes.

Don't think too much about carrion, you must not eat it.

Even if it doesn't look rotten, you can't eat such meat when you take it home, because you don't know what caused the death and how long it has been dead.

Eating it will cause discomfort and even hospitalization in severe cases.

Let's talk about fish in the water.

When a fish dies, it will float on the water and can be fished up. Otherwise, catch fish, fish, or scatter fish.

Fish float on the water for no reason. In general, it is caused by poor water quality, or it is maliciously drugged.

Fish floating on the water will have many flies and other flying insects, especially rotten fish, which can't be eaten.

Not only that, for fishermen, if they see dead fish floating on the water, they will change their fishing position. If a dead fish drifts from a distance while fishing, they will take the fishing rod home and fish another day.

Now, I believe many people understand that few people will eat the meat picked up in the mountains and the fish picked up in the water, and even no one will pick it up, and they will avoid it when they see it.

However, in ancient times, because food was relatively scarce, many friends would get food by hunting and fishing.

Meat found in the mountains and fish found in the water may be eaten at home, which will lead to physical discomfort and health problems.

There is another explanation besides health and safety.

The reason why "the mountains don't pick up meat" may be a trap, such as hunters hunting. In order to attract prey, the hunting device placed on the mountain will put the meat on the trap, and when the prey eats the meat, it will trigger the trap to achieve the purpose of catching.

If people go to pick up meat, it will also trigger a trap, leading to accidental injury.

The saying "no fish in the water" is superstitious. According to the old people, if you suddenly see fish floating in the water, especially big fish, don't pick them up. It may be the lure of "water ghosts". Once you reach out to pick it up, you will be dragged into the water and drowned, so you can't pick it up when you see fish in the water.

Seeing this, I believe everyone has a general understanding of the sentence "Don't pick up meat on the mountain and fish in the water". Personally, I prefer the first statement, that is, safety and health issues.

Don't eat meat and fish you don't know. Besides, the economic conditions are getting better and better now. If you want to eat meat and fish, just go to the market and buy them. As for what you found, the best way is to throw it away or even pick it up from scratch.

Through the content of the above proverbs, there is a deeper meaning by extension.

No matter in life or work, what you get for nothing is not necessarily good, but it may have a bad influence on yourself.

And if you want to get the desired result, you need to work hard and struggle, which is the best result.
