Why does it say no spitting or someone does it outside, but the house is clean?

I remember when I was in junior high school, I met a teacher. Every time I talk about vomiting and thirst in class, I suddenly cleared my throat hard, and then I got up the strength to vomit hard outside the classroom window (please note that our classroom was on the third floor! )。 I often think that if someone is unfortunately standing downstairs, won't it be painful? Speaking of why people in China like spitting so much, as we all know, this bad habit is extremely despised by foreigners in today's internationalization, leaving China citizens with the title of poor quality and uncivilized internationally. I stayed in the United States for some time, and what impressed me the most was in public places. Basically, the slogans reminding people not to spit and litter were all in Chinese, but few in foreign languages. This can only prove that the image presented by China people needs to be improved. In some national forest parks, such as Yosemite National Park, the maps distributed by tour guides have annotations in Japanese, Italian, German, French and so on, but there is no Chinese. When can China talents really enhance the national image, and let our international students say, "I'm from China!" More confident? Most of the embarrassments I encountered abroad were curious questions from foreigners. For example, when chatting with you, they will ask, "Hey, Rita! Why do people in China like to eat dog meat? How can they be so cruel? " Or "China people like to spit everywhere! (If someone is found spitting in a foreign country, if that person has an Asian face, he will be accused of coming from China.) "When I was buying fruit in the free market, I saw a China person picking and picking off bad leaves or roots while buying food. As a result, everyone greeted me with malicious eyes, and even an old American lady shouted at her from a distance in English. In this case, I often answer: "Most people in China are very disciplined, and only a few people have not got rid of that bad habit." When they ask about eating dog meat, I will probably say, "Most people in China have dogs, and they will hardly eat their own dogs if they regard that dog as their own. Some people really eat dog meat, but those dogs are specially raised to eat. . . "At this time, most foreigners nodded in confusion, and I was probably dizzy. As for the problem of spitting, I have to blame environmental pollution, more people smoking and so on. . . I have a deep feeling here, because I found that most people in China, especially many rural people and low-income and low-security classes, simply don't care about spitting. Some netizens even raved on the forum, saying, "Don't let people spit everywhere, can you swallow it?" ? ! "Some netizens kindly remind everyone that you can bring paper towels when you go out, or you can cut a hole in the empty biscuit bag in case there is no place to vomit, and then throw it into the trash can. As a result, this kind of goodwill has ushered in the unreasonable troubles of some people with no quality: "What a scandal when I go out with paper towels?" " !" According to these people, shouldn't the so-called "big shots in China" be law-abiding, virtuous and civilized? Is it cool to spit? I don't think the generous performance of the so-called "big masters" should be equated with lack of quality and lawlessness! ! Imagine that when you are riding for a ride on a cool summer evening, suddenly someone throws a thick sputum on your face. what do you think? China people have always paid little attention to public morality. One can litter and spit outside, but never at home. I think what everyone lacks is a spirit of "for the small family, for everyone". I have read some books about history in the past. Interestingly, people in China have a long history of spitting. It is said that when Li Hongzhang met with the foreign minister, he spit in front of everyone, regardless of the occasion. It can be seen that this impression of China people on foreigners will not happen overnight. Of course, I say so much here, just hoping that more uncivilized phenomena can be improved. After all, Beijing will host the Olympic Games, and more and more foreigners will come to China. International students like me will feel a special sense of pride when they mention the Olympic Games abroad. So I think as a China person, I have the responsibility to make my country stronger and stronger, and my international prestige will be better and better. I quote a netizen's article: Having lived in China for 12 years, I think I should be used to people spitting in the street, but I'm not. Most people from West Renye Fang who come here are not used to it. Nowadays, in the countries I have been to, the phenomenon of spitting has disappeared, but historically it is not the case. For example, in Canada, when I was a child, I saw someone spitting in public places or spitting in spittoons at home. Spitting is mostly related to smoking, both of which are regarded as bad habits by women. Seriously, I still have a souvenir of that era-a dark green hexagonal glass spittoon. Now, it has become a very unique flowerpot for me. In those days, spittoons were placed next to rocking chairs in the kitchen and even in the living room for the elderly who smoked or chewed tobacco. Every time I see a spittoon, I lament for the housewives who clean the spittoon every day. I still remember that the boys at school began to spit everywhere at the age when they started to smoke secretly, to show that they had grown up and were rude boys. But families and schools can usually convince them that spitting is not good, so in most cases they will abandon this behavior. The habit of spitting became the eradication goal of public health institutions, after German biologist Koch discovered Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 1882. Spitting is illegal in many countries because saliva is an important infectious agent and Mycobacterium tuberculosis can survive in saliva for a whole day. Signs prohibiting this behavior are posted in shops, theaters, bars, parks and other places. Women are warned not to wear long skirts in cities, because skirts that mop the floor may get phlegm stains and bring tuberculosis home. Around the world, there are warnings on news bulletin boards and newspapers: "Don't spit everywhere for our children!" " ""gentlemen, look at us! Spitting spreads diseases, and ladies should not spit everywhere! " (Of course not in China) "Beware of careless spitters! "In medieval Europe, people were allowed to spit under the table, but they must never' shoot' the sputum to the other side of the table; You can spit on the ground while standing, and then wipe your feet immediately, but as early as the15th century, an anonymous French writer denounced this behavior as "indecent". Spitting was ridiculed as "indecent" by Erasmus, a great Dutch humanist, and Casa, an Italian etiquette writer, in their works of 1530 and 1558 respectively. They think this behavior is rude and uncivilized. Among farmers and workers, spitting seems more acceptable. /kloc-In factories, hospital waiting rooms and barbershops in the 0 th and 9 th centuries, people tolerated spitting. " Where do you want them to throw up? Spit it in their pockets? "This is the attitude of people at that time. However, if a servant, tram worker or salesman at home is found spitting, he will be fired immediately. Some people can only control themselves if they are fined for bad behavior. Thus, in 1886, the French Ministry of Health promulgated the first law prohibiting spitting, and later, in 1896, new york promulgated a more stringent law. As of 19 16, out of 2 13 cities in the United States, 195 have enacted laws prohibiting spitting. However, if the law enforcement is lax and people are indifferent to it, the law will have no effect. Generally speaking, almost no one was arrested for spitting; The police are too lazy to pay a fine for "such a light violation of the law", but slogans that have psychological effects on the spitter have begun to appear. For example, "If you spit everywhere in your own house, spit here!" "Educated people consciously don't spit, uneducated people must force him not to spit. However, by the mid-1930s, spitting was still very popular in Britain. Unlike the United States (spitting was extremely common even in the White House for most of the19th century) and several European countries, the anti-tuberculosis campaign in Britain failed to make spitting illegal in this country. You see, western countries also have their own history of spitting. They spent time and energy to eradicate this bad habit.
