As the saying goes, "Try someone else's coffin, it is better to try someone else's shoes". What do you mean? Why can't others' shoes be worn?

Try someone else's coffin instead of their shoes. First of all, literally speaking, you can try on coffins, but you can't just wear other people's shoes, and you can't just let others wear your own shoes. Some people may have questions. The coffin is obviously a symbol of death and should be more terrible than wearing other people's shoes. Why is there such a statement? At first, this proverb was popular in rural areas. In rural areas, birth, old age, illness and death seem to be common, and we are not afraid of such things. In ancient times, people thought that shoes were personal items, stained with aura and could not be easily lent to others.

In the countryside, coffins are not unlucky things. Moreover, there are many elderly people in rural areas, and there is not so much fear of death. When some old people are at home, they will prepare coffins for themselves in advance so as not to disturb their children. Because they think it will bring good luck to their children. Borrowing coffins can also happen when someone dies suddenly in the countryside.

Why can't you wear other people's shoes easily? It turns out that in the ancient people's concept, shoes will have aura if they are worn for a long time. Sometimes a person's good luck is accumulated on his feet, so let others try on your shoes casually, and then they will take all your luck away. Imagine such a thing is really horrible.

Moreover, from a scientific point of view, shoes belong to personal items after all. Wear other people's shoes at will, or let others wear their own shoes. Not only unsanitary, but also contagious. When we wear shoes, if we exercise, there will inevitably be no unpleasant smell inside the shoes. And if you don't change your shoes and socks often, you will easily get beriberi. In this case, you can't just wear other people's shoes.
