What's the name of the sword hanging over your head?
The name of the sword hanging on the head is called: Sword of Damocles, or "Sword Hanging on the Top" in Chinese, and the corresponding English is Sword of Damocles, which is used to indicate the ever-present danger.

Origin: Sword of Damocles. This story is based on a historical story in ancient Greece. King theseus of Dionysus invited his friend Damocles to a banquet and sat him under a cold shiny sword with a horse's mane. The resulting foreign story means that people are in a state of crisis, and "the Jedi survive and submit to humiliation". Or have a sense of crisis at any time and sound an alarm in your heart.

Extended data:

Damocles is a figure in an independent moral anecdote, which was later added to the ancient Greek culture.

This image is a legend, not a Greek myth. Anecdote appeared in the Lost History of Sicily written by Timaios of taormina (356 BC-260 BC). Cicero may have read about it in the works of Diodoros Sikus, and quoted it in his book Tuskulan Argument V.2 1.

The sword of Damocles is a very famous story, which is worth knowing deeply. Its core truth is that risk and power coexist, and status and ability match. Accordingly, it has profound significance to the essence of modern society: people should always be vigilant.
