请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
In Chinese, the idiom "taigang" describes arguing with others on purpose. Where did it come from?
"Tai" means "carry". "Gang" means a pole that people use to carry things.
There is a custom called "taiganghui" in northern China. During the Lantern Festival, people use poles to carry a sedan chair. A clown sits in it. People can argue with the clown for fun. This is where the idiom came from. In English, the phrase "argue for the sake of arguing" has the same meaning.
You can also find this idiom in ancient Chinese books. Sometimes, it was used in a different way. For example, in A Dream of Red Mansions, there is a line that says, "Three people carry no more than a truth." It means that no matter how many people argue over one thing, they still need to respect the truth.
If you know someone who loves arguing for the sake of arguing, you might say they are picky or fussy. You can also call the person a troll if they do so online.
1. Where did the "taiganghui" custom start?
2. In which book can people find the line "Three people carry no more than a truth."?
3. What will you do when you argue with your friends?
