The most common saying of sneezing in China is "think twice, scold three times", which means that once you sneeze, someone will think of you, twice you sneeze, someone will scold you, and three times you sneeze, someone will say something.
In fact, this statement has been circulating for thousands of years-it can be traced back to the Book of Songs at the earliest, especially this "one thought", which brought the romantic feelings of the ancients to the extreme.
The Book of Songs is a poem describing the love between men and women. There is a sentence in it, which means "I miss you so much that I can't sleep." If you miss me as much as I miss you, then I will sneeze. "
The seemingly unsightly "sneeze" here is comparable to spinach in autumn, which maintains similar sufferings for men and women.
I hope I sneeze, which means my lover likes me, too. Ancient people cared about intimacy with their children, just like modern people.

In the eyes of westerners, sneezing is a contest between God and the devil.
There are several theories about the origin of westerners' habit of saying "God bless you" after someone sneezes. One is that this behavior can be traced back to Rome in the sixth century, when sneezing was a major symptom of the Black Death. It is said that the phrase "God bless you" originally came from Pope Gregory to protect people who sneeze from death.
Similarly, many countries have their own unique expressions to express their health wishes to sneezers. Germans can say "Gesundheit", which is now adopted by English speakers.
