Knocking on the door a few times is a big taboo for ghosts to hear knocking at the door in the middle of the night.
As the saying goes? Do nothing wrong, not afraid of ghosts knocking at the door? Although this statement is strongly superstitious, there are still people who are afraid of ghosts, which has not been scientifically proved. People who are particularly timid, if they live alone, will feel scared when someone knocks at the door at night.
According to folk feudalism, if there is a knock at the door outside between eleven o'clock in the morning and one o'clock in the morning, it means that it is not necessarily a person knocking at the door. Because in superstitious rumors, people knock three times and ghosts knock four times.
Of course, there is no need to really believe this rumor. If you are alone at home, if you hear someone knocking at the door, especially at night, no matter how many times you knock, make sure who is outside in advance. You can look out through the cat's eye on the door first, or ask who the other person is, and then open the door for him if you know someone you know. People you don't know should be vigilant. After all, sometimes people's hearts are more terrible than ghosts and gods.
In addition, there is no hard and fast rule on the number of knocks, but generally everyone is used to knocking three times as the most polite way. Because if you knock on the door too fast and don't stop too much, you will get bored with the people who hear it and disturb the neighbors around you. The correct and polite way to knock is to bend your fingers, palm towards yourself, and knock with the second section of your middle finger. No hurry, no delay, no light, no heavy knock, pause for a while, and no one responds to knock again. This is polite and won't make the owner of the house feel disgusted.
