In rural areas, many people have certain manners in doing things. In order to win a good lottery, they often wait for a few days. Rural housing is no exception. Some people will ask to sit facing south when choosing a building location, and try to let the sun shine in. Others built their homes at the foot of the mountain, with a good environment and a small fish pond in front of the door.
However, this does not take into account the impact of natural disasters. The house is dangerous because of natural disasters. These are all for good luck, family safety or career prosperity.
So what is the truth that "the door is too big, and the family is ruined"? Seeing this sentence, everyone's first concern is the word home. Yes, this sentence has something to do with home. In rural areas, every household attaches great importance to the house they live in. The door of the house is also important. Doors are often noticed by passers-by, so they symbolize the face of the family.
We are also very particular about the selection of gate materials. We can't choose mulberry. In this case, it is naturally unlucky for us to open the door and see "Sang (mourning)". But the more luxurious the door, the better, because in the eyes of rural elderly, the hall symbolizes parents, while the door symbolizes future generations.
This proverb means that the door must not be higher than the hall, because in rural areas, the order of generations is emphasized, otherwise children and parents will be offended and awkward. In this way, in the eyes of others, children and grandchildren are unfilial, and the whole family will be disharmony and decline.
Besides this proverb, there are many proverbs about building houses in rural areas. These proverbs can be preserved today, not only because they have certain truth, but also because they are the crystallization of the wisdom of the elderly in rural areas.
