Why don't Manchu people let their guests sit and rest on the Xikang?

Manchu people are a minority in the north. People who visit them are also hospitable. They sit on the kang in winter, but they can sit anywhere when they go there in winter, except Xikang. Why? Why can't guests sit on the west kang? Let's take a look at it.

In Manchu families, they let others sit on the Xikang, and then a wooden board is hung on the wall of Xikang. This board is called the old Buddha board, which is used to worship ancestors. There are also seven incense burners near this board, which symbolizes the Big Dipper. Some people say that this indicates that Manchu ancestors used to come from the black water of Changbai Mountain, among which seven ravines.

Westinghouse, where Manchu people live, is also very particular. They are not allowed to put things there, which will destroy the geomantic omen. Therefore, there are many things that they can't do. We should know in advance, otherwise it will be easy to touch. At the same time, family and guests are not allowed to sit in Xikang. When visiting the Manchu family, you can't put the dog skin hat on the west pit, because Manchu people often use the west kang to worship their ancestors, and it is customary to have the north kang as their husband and the west kang as their price.

In the big family of the Chinese nation, each nation has its own customs, etiquette and culture, which is different from others, and indoor culture is the symbol culture of each nation. Among many ethnic groups, Manchu customs show distinctive features of the West. Therefore, we should respect their culture and avoid touching their taboos. The formation of Manchu custom of respecting the West is a kind of cultural inheritance and accumulation, not a simple practical purpose, that is, the warmth of Westinghouse. ?
