Some people say this is superstition, others believe it, but you don't believe it. There is no right or wrong point of view.
There are also many sayings about building houses among the people. The meaning of the sentence "two highs and one low, being bullied all your life" that this article wants to say is recognized by many friends at present. Of course, some friends disagree with this statement.
What the hell is going on? You will understand after reading this article.
As the saying goes, "two highs and one low, you will be bullied all your life". Literally speaking, if your house is not as high as the houses of neighbors on both sides and is caught in the middle, you will be bullied in your later life.
Literally expressed meaning seems meaningless, but folk sayings are different.
The first statement: the house is high on both sides and low in the middle, and the lighting is not good. It was blocked by the house in the east in the morning and by the house in the west in the afternoon. It's only noon, and there may be a little sunshine. In this case, the middle house is prone to tides, and people who live in it for a long time are sickly and vulnerable to bullying.
In addition to the obstruction of lighting, there is also a situation that will cause the lower house in the middle to be prone to moisture.
As we all know, when it rains in the countryside, the water on the house will flow down with the eaves. When the sides are high and the middle is low, the rain on both sides will flow into the yard below the house. There is no sewer like the city in the countryside.
So if there is too much rain in the middle yard, it is easy to get wet.
Another way of saying it: from the perspective of folklore, the East stands for "Qinglong", the South stands for "Suzaku", the West stands for "White Tiger" and the North stands for "Xuanwu".
There is a saying in the countryside that "if you are not afraid of Qinglong, you are afraid that the white tiger will turn back." If it is the other way around, it is a bad sign. Some people say that wealth is gone.
According to this statement, the house in the east can be higher, and the house in the west can't be higher than its own house. If there is a situation where both sides are high, the saying that "the white tiger turns back" is formed.
When bad omens happen, it is easy to be bullied by others. Therefore, there is a saying that "two highs and one low, people will be bullied all their lives."
The third statement: proceed from the actual situation.
In rural areas, the psychology of comparison is more serious. If tall buildings are built on both sides, the family in the middle will be looked down upon.
After all, building a house now costs money. Whose house is tall means that he has money. If he doesn't build a house, he has no money.
Lack of money also shows that family members are not competent enough. Living in an old house and walking in the village may also lift your head and be gossiped by the villagers. What happens in the village will also be bullied. It is said that incompetent people are easily bullied. That's what I mean.
The fourth way of saying it: There is a well-said saying that man struggles upwards and man flows downwards. People who live in high-rise buildings often feel superior and look down on people who live in dilapidated old houses (only some people, not all). If something happens to them, they will feel very powerful and bully others.
Through the above four statements, I believe everyone has a clear understanding of the sentence "two highs and one low, and they will be bullied all their lives".
However, with the continuous development of society, everyone's cognition is also improving, and many friends hold different views on this.
For example, some people say that "people who don't build houses in rural areas now often have bought houses in cities, and there are not many days to live in their rural hometowns. There is no need to build houses in rural hometowns, even if both sides are taller than their own houses, it doesn't matter."
","according to the ancient occupation, officials sit in the middle, and the guards on both sides are higher. So it is actually better to say that the two heights are sandwiched between one and the other.
"
In my personal opinion, the phrase "two highs and one low, being bullied all your life" may be applicable to many situations in the past, but it is completely different now.
It doesn't mean that anyone whose house is built high will be very powerful, nor does it mean that anyone whose house is built low will be bullied.
Some people just don't like living in buildings. They just think the house is enough to live in, so there is no need to compare it.
Of course, some people are really lazy. They are jealous that other people's houses are built too high, or privately say that others are not good. For yourself, work hard, find a job, work hard, dream at home every day, and wait for the pie to fall from the sky. Such people may be mediocre all their lives, and winning money is the real skill.
To sum up, the saying of "two highs and one low, being bullied all one's life" left by our ancestors, or the experience summed up, is really worth learning, and of course there are views that need to be eliminated.
In any case, it is more important to be yourself, not to bully others, and not to be bullied by others.
Personally, I prefer the third statement above. what do you think of it ?
