Origin and Story of 戴笠乘车
It is said that in ancient times, the region of Su-Yue had simple and honest customs.
When people first met and formed a friendship, they would build an earthen altar, offer sacrifices like chickens and dogs, and pray to heaven, saying: "You ride in a carriage, I wear a bamboo hat; when we meet again someday, you will step down from your carriage and bow. I walk, you ride a horse; when we meet again someday, you will dismount."
This expressed their hope that when they met again in the future, regardless of changes in their social status, they would not forget their humble friendship.
