Folk things folk say, it's time to share with you that little thing about the folk, and today I'm talking to you about the problem of stepping on the manhole cover and being unlucky. The old man often says that "you can't step on the manhole cover on the road, and if you step on it, you will be unlucky", is it true? What should I do if I step on it?

In our daily life, manhole covers on the road can be seen everywhere, and under these manhole covers are underground pipes in the city and water supply pipes in the countryside. Although these manhole covers are inconspicuous to people, there has always been a saying that the older generation often said that "stepping on the manhole cover on the road will be unlucky".

I believe that many people have heard this sentence when they were young, and the old people will also warn us that once we accidentally step on the manhole cover, we must immediately say "bah bah" three times to the big one, so as to remove the bad luck on the body.

So, how did this claim come about? Does that make sense? Is it really bad luck to step on a manhole cover? Today, let's find out with you with questions.

The old man often says that "you can't step on the manhole cover on the road, and if you step on it, you will be unlucky", is it true? What should I do if I step on it?

First, let's take a look at the ** of this statement. It is understood that in ancient times, it was generally believed that the entrance to the underworld was under the manhole cover, and stepping on the manhole cover would alarm the ghosts below, thus bringing bad luck. In addition, some folklore also suggests that stepping on a manhole cover can upset the balance of different worlds and lead to unfortunate things happening. However, none of these claims have a scientific basis, and are just a psychological effect and superstitious notions of people.

In addition, the underground pipeline system in the city was not as complete as it is now, and many places required manual maintenance and repair. At that time, manhole covers were mainly used to prevent carriages and pedestrians on the road from falling into the wells. However, due to the relatively rudimentary workmanship and materials at that time, the quality of manhole covers was also uneven, and often broke and deteriorated. If someone accidentally steps on such a manhole cover, there is a risk of falling into the well or even being injured or killed. Therefore, at that time, it was believed that stepping on such a manhole cover would bring misfortune and bad luck.

Over time, this superstitious saying gradually spread and was accepted by more and more people. Especially in some places where traditional culture and Xi are relatively strong, this statement is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

However, in modern society, this argument has long lost its practical basis for existence. Because the materials and processes of manhole covers have been greatly improved, there will be basically no damage and aging. Moreover, people's increased awareness of safety has also greatly reduced the possibility of stepping on manhole covers.

In this way, stepping on the manhole cover is just a folk superstitious saying that it will not lead to any misfortune. This claim exists mainly because of people's fear of the unknown and concerns about safety.

Although science has proven the absurdity of this superstitious claim, it is still deeply ingrained in the minds of some people. Because this part of the people believe that there are some unexplained phenomena and forces in this world, and if you accidentally violate them, you will be punished. Therefore, even if they know that there is no scientific basis for this claim, they will still try to avoid stepping on the manhole cover.

So, what should you do if you accidentally step on a manhole cover?

First of all, you have to know that it's nothing. And give yourself a psychological hint and tell yourself not to think blindly.

Secondly, if you feel a little unlucky or worried about bad luck, then you need to use the Xi of the older generation to resolve this psychological pressure. For example, our Xi is often to slap ourselves three times at once, and then say "Bah, Bah, Bah" to the land. In some places, you have to hit your butt three times when you step on a small manhole cover, and you have to hit your butt five times when you step on a big manhole cover. These are all Xi that resolve bad luck by stepping on manhole covers.

Finally, you can also apologize to it or recite some auspicious words after stepping on the manhole cover, which can resolve the embarrassment.

In conclusion, there are many different interpretations of the claim that stepping on a manhole cover on the road will be unlucky. Although this claim has no scientific basis, it is deeply ingrained in the minds of many people. This may be because this statement has been ingrained in people's minds for many years and has a strong relationship with people's cultures, traditions, and beliefs.

However, regardless of whether this statement is true or not, we should maintain a rational and scientific attitude, and not blindly believe or be overly superstitious. In our daily lives, we only need to pay attention to whether our actions are safe, legal and reasonable.

Of course, although stepping on the manhole cover will not be unlucky, but when encountering the manhole cover, it is recommended not to step on it, for the sake of safety.

Well, the above is what I told you about stepping on the manhole cover today. In other words, do you think it makes sense to step on the manhole cover and be unlucky? You can leave a message, comment, and share with you what you say.
