Rashomon was originally Japanese, Luocheng Gate or Rashomon, and was originally the gate of Luocheng, Kyoto, Japan. Later used to refer to the boundary between human and hell, the difference between fact and illusion. Now it usually refers to: the parties to the incident hold their own words, express and prove or weave lies in a way that is beneficial to them, and finally make the truth confusing and difficult to get to the bottom. Such as "rashomon event who helps the elderly in Bazhong" and "rashomon event who is married in Alyssa Chia".

Original intention: "Rashomon" was originally written as "Luochengmen" in Japanese, which originally meant the gate of "Los Angeles", that is, the gate of the capital. Due to years of war in ancient Japan, corpses were everywhere. Many unknown bodies were dragged to the tower and discarded. After years of disrepair, they became desolate and gloomy. Over the years, people have a gloomy and haunted impression of Rashomon, so there is a myth that Rashomon is the gateway to hell.

Moral: Since the word Rashomon was born with the meaning of "life and death", it later evolved into the fact that the truth hovers between "truth" and "illusion": the parties to the incident hold their own words, express and prove or weave lies in a way that is beneficial to them, and at the same time, it is difficult to produce strong evidence notarized by a third party, which makes the truth confusing and eventually falls into endless arguments and repetitions.
