What does it mean for a person to cross a well?

1, wear: verb, meaning to fight and dig.

2. Digging a well in their home means waiting until their home digs a well. "One person can dig a well" comes from Lv Chunqiu, which means that after digging a well, one person's manpower can be obtained without sending someone to fetch water from the outside well; Outsiders misunderstood the meaning and thought it was "crossing the well to get the living" and spread rumors everywhere.

3. The full text is as follows: The Song family has no well irrigation and often lives outside. His family crossed the well and told people, "I crossed the well alone." The person who heard about it said, "A man has gone down the well in Shi Ding." The people of China know that they have heard from Song Jun. Ding asked. Shi Ding said to him, "If you want to be alone, you have to be alone in the well." Smell it if you want, and don't smell it if you don't smell it.

4. Vernacular interpretation: There was a family named Ding in Song State, and there was no well at home. To go out to fetch water and paddy fields in the distance, I often stay outside alone. When their family dug a well, Shi Ding told others, "My family dug a well and got a man." The listener sent a message: "Shi Ding dug a well and dug a man." People all over the country are talking about this matter, so that the monarch of Song State knows about it. Song Guojun sent someone to ask Shi Ding about the situation. Shi Ding replied: "Saving the labor of an idle person is not digging a living person in a well." It's better not to listen to such rumors.
