What does the rural saying "Men don't touch their heads and women don't touch their feet" mean? Why can't you touch it?

A man's head symbolizes status. Usually a child's head or a man's head can only be touched by an elder. Because the head is a very important part for men, it is related to personal dignity. If someone touches it casually, it means that this person is despised and will violate this dignity, which every man can't stand anywhere. Moreover, in ancient times, we looked at a man's status and dignity from the beginning. What hat he wears determines his dignity, and the hat is also worn on his head, so a man's head is very important and cannot be easily touched by others.

If a woman's foot is touched casually, it shows that the relationship between the two people is extraordinary. In ancient times, women's feet were called "three-inch golden lotus", and they were also very particular about feet. If someone touches her feet, it means they are close. Especially in ancient times, that feudal era, people paid more attention to these things, especially women, and paid more attention to honor. Once you have contact with other men, you are said to be indecent, not to mention the parts that your feet pay so much attention to.

With the progress of society, these things are not very concerned now. However, the head will not be easily touched by others, both men and women. Especially children, pay more attention to their heads. There is also a saying that the head is also the most important place in the whole body, where wisdom is gathered, so people attach great importance to this part of the head. Children's heads can generally be touched by elders, but adults' heads are generally not touched.

Although there were many bad habits in ancient times, some things have been passed down to the present for a reason.
