As the saying goes, "No windows can be left behind the house". Are these stresses about building houses superstitious?

These remaining statements and stresses are not superstitious, on the contrary, they have certain scientific truth. After thousands of years of precipitation and accumulation, Chinese civilization has left many customs and folk proverbs. In ancient times when science and technology were underdeveloped, people lived by these proverbs. Although many proverbs are regarded as superstitious in modern society, many of them have some common sense of life and are worth learning from. For example, building a house without leaving a back window.

First, ensure the safety of the building structure. In the 1980s, the main raw materials for building houses were adobe and wood. Adobe is made of loess and straw mixed with water and put in a special wooden frame. After drying, adobe is formed. Although the cost is low, the safety is not high enough, and it is easy to be hit by wind, rain, sun and rain. Therefore, in the process of building a house, in order to ensure safety, one less window was left, and even the front window was rarely opened, in order to reduce the weathering degree of the house.

Second, ensure good health. When building a house, you should pay attention to sitting facing south and let the house face the sun. Open the window, the sun can sterilize, and the north is cold. If you leave a rear window at this time, the wind blowing in is very cold and easy to cool. In the past, medicine was underdeveloped, and it was easy to die of cold and cold. Although there are windows in the north, it will be cool in summer, but if the elderly blow through at home, they are still prone to get sick.

Third, protect privacy. When we build a house, we always leave a yard in front. The back of the house may face the street, or it may be back to back with the neighbor's house. If there is a back window, everyone's every move in the house will be exposed to the public, and privacy will not be protected. And the window facing the street is also prone to danger, so in summary, try not to leave the rear window. Of course, this emphasis is not important in modern society, but it is still very practical in many remote and backward rural areas.
