A fire, three cigarettes, whether evil or blessing.

A fire and three cigarettes will bring bad luck. Feng Shui fortune stresses running through our lives, and we can see the shadow of Feng Shui around us bit by bit. Pay attention to smoking when burning incense and worshipping Buddha. I would like to share with you the relevant contents of a fire and three smoke.

A fire and three cigarettes will bring bad luck. 1 Bad luck. When westerners light a cigarette, they always put it out after lighting a cigarette for the second person, stop for a while, and then light a cigarette for others, instead of lighting a cigarette for three people in a row.

Small details are puzzling. It is said that in the Boer War of 1899, many soldiers were killed one night because of smoking exposure, most of them were killed when lighting the third cigarette. Because the first two cigarettes exposed the target and gave the enemy time to find the target, aim at the gun and pull the trigger, the third cigarette was just hit. Therefore, people are still taboo to light this unlucky "third cigarette". The same is true of Russia. But when I arrived in China, I made up another story, that is, three fires are homophonic.

What's the point of not lighting three cigarettes in one fire?

When three people need to light a cigarette, they usually light the first cigarette with a lighter, then turn it off after lighting two, and then light the third cigarette after lighting the second. If you use a match, throw it away after lighting the second cigarette, and light the third cigarette with a match. This is the legendary "a good fire doesn't light three cigarettes". What does a fire without three cigarettes mean? Regarding this taboo, both the East and the West have their own reasons:

East:

1, disaster-disaster:

Traditional Chinese character disaster-"disaster", three objects on the fire are combined into a disaster, so there is a taboo in Southeast Asia (such as Singapore) that lighting three cigarettes with matches will be a disaster. In China, the homonym of "Three Fires" has the same bad meaning as "Dismissal", so it is also taboo. In retrospect, I think "lighting three cigarettes in a row" and "lighting three cigarettes in a row" should be different. However, everyone just needs to remember that after lighting two cigarettes, the fire must change.

2, but three things:

According to China people's sayings and habits, there are no more than three things. In the end, it is not very respectful for you to give me some. The second and third person will think that you have a little disrespect for him (after all, this match has been used by others). So it is impolite to light three people's cigarettes at the same time with matches.

3. Yin and Yang are different:

The so-called one fire without lighting three cigarettes is about the difference between yin and yang. Why can't a person light three cigarettes? As we all know, when Tomb-Sweeping Day visits graves and worships Buddha and Bodhisattva in temples, should he burn three incense sticks to show his piety and respect for his ancestors and Bodhisattva? So a fire with three incense sticks, smoke lingering in the sky, and a fire with three cigarettes soaring into the sky. Therefore, a living bodhisattva is different from a dead bodhisattva. Making a fire with three cigarette sticks is actually a folk taboo and has no other purpose.

Western "small superstition"

Westerners are forbidden to light cigarettes for three people in a row, because the first world war, which is said to be 1899, was fought between Britain and the Netherlands. As night fell, many Dutch soldiers were tired and began to smoke in the trenches. The fire of cigarette butts was seen by British soldiers, and a bullet flew past, so someone was killed. It is said that coincidentally, all the dead were soldiers who lit the third cigarette. Since then, this taboo has appeared in the western concept. Even today, when westerners light other people's cigarettes, they will stop lighting the second one and light a match again when it is the third person's turn. From now on, you can't light more lamps for two people. If you order more than three people, it will be considered to bring bad luck to the third and the people behind, which is very impolite.

Finally, friends who like smoking should know that there is another habit of smoking, that is, when handing cigarettes, one end of the cigarette end of the sponge mouth should be pointed at each other, and the other end should be pinched with both hands to show respect.

A fire and three cigarettes will bring bad luck. Everyone living in the countryside knows that the old people in the countryside have left us many proverbs full of wisdom. Many people may think that these proverbs are no longer helpful to our lives, but they are not. It still makes sense to savor the proverbs that these old people often say. If you don't believe me, let's move on.

The literal meaning of this sentence is simple. Some people like to ask a few companions when smoking. When lighting a cigarette, not only give yourself a cigarette, but also give others a cigarette by the way. However, there is an old saying in the countryside that a match cannot light three people in a row. Perhaps this statement is really rare. Even some people who like smoking don't know what this means or what they are particular about.

Generally, when a group of people smoke together, two people can share a match to light a cigarette, but people who know the doorway will throw away the match in front and take out another match to light a cigarette when lighting a cigarette for a third person.

This statement was originally circulated in western countries. They think that lighting cigarettes for three people in a row will bring disaster, which is very taboo for smokers. After being introduced to China people, this statement has changed a little, but its core is still there.

Even in modern times, when many people smoke, it is enough to light a second cigarette. When the third cigarette is lit, they either pick up the lighter again or strike a match again. When two people are together, it is best not to get angry. This means that it will bring disaster to their families. Lighting three cigarettes is three fires and its homonym is breaking up, which is something that some people are afraid of.

After understanding, if you need to light someone's cigarette, you should remember these things that need to be avoided to avoid embarrassing scenes.

A fire and three cigarettes will bring bad luck. Living in the countryside, especially our hometown, is known as "the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, the birthplace of Sang Zi culture", and there are many exquisite ways to entertain guests! After all, the sage once said, "It's a pleasure to have friends from afar"! Influenced by the culture of the sages, the countryside is full of the experiences and lessons of our ancestors in our daily life! It is also often called "rules" by villagers. For example, the most common "visit" in our life is also exquisite, and we should not visit our neighbors while they are eating. For receiving guests, the placement of teapots is also particular. If the "spout" is impolite to the guests, the old people think that the homonym of "pot" and "tiger" is not good!

In rural areas, people's living habits are often "agreed into custom" with strong regional characteristics, which is also the truth of the so-called "different customs in a hundred miles, different winds in ten miles"! Among them, the habit of "stopping three cigarettes with one fire" is in the countryside, which means that in the old society, people lit cigarettes with matches. If there are many guests, it is impossible to light three guests with a match! In the old farmer's view, this is also a "three fires." Because many villagers pay attention to homophonic, "three fires" is like "breaking up"! However, although this explanation is in line with the habits of many rural people, it is somewhat inappropriate!

The so-called "one fire doesn't light three cigarettes" is actually "imported"! This sentence comes from a war in the west. Many soldiers are under the bunker. A soldier struck a match and lit cigarettes for two comrades in arms in succession, but when he lit the third cigarette, he was killed by the sniper of the other side. So it has been handed down and has become a famous sentence that indicates "death"!

As we all know, the dangerous rebirth in the battlefield may be in an inconspicuous place, hiding many snipers. For the process of lighting a cigarette, it not only provides the sniper with aiming time and accurate position, but also exposes himself naturally, so it becomes a "rule" or discipline! I don't know when this sentence spread in our country, probably during the anti-fascist war! With the liberation of the whole country, this proverb has spread to many farmers and has become a kind of "hospitality" courtesy in cultural integration!
