People say.../Народные приметы

We were talking about japanese traditions today and two random people told me that there is a tradition in Japan that states that sleeping in red cotton underwear will make you healthy. I checked several sources on the Internet, and I found out that red color in feng shui is believed to be a powerful source of energy capable of scaring away bad stuff.

Сегодня разговор зашел о японских традициях и два человека, не сговариваясь, сказали что есть традиция, которая заключается в том, что если спать в красных хлопковых трусах, то будешь здоровым. Проверив интернет, оказалось что красный цвет по фен-шуй обладает большой энергией и способен отпугивать зло.
