Speaking of proverbs, I believe everyone is familiar with them. This popular culture, rooted in the people, has been highly praised by people for its unique cultural charm and has been popular around the world for thousands of years. Especially in rural areas, proverbs are more familiar, and men, women and children can say a few words, which shows their wide spread. The cultural wealth handed down by these ancestors is exquisite in every word and contains profound truth in every sentence. Keep it in your heart and practice it in your life, and your life will be suddenly enlightened and smoother.
What does the old rural saying "no trees are planted at the front door and no windows are opened at the back door" mean? Why do you say that? There is some truth in why trees can't be planted in front of the house, but this statement illustrates the problem from the light. Because if you plant trees in front of the house, it will block out the sun, so the home will be very dark and humid, so in rural areas, you can't plant trees in the front door.
The front door doesn't plant trees, not shade it. There is a saying in the countryside that when a tree grows bigger, it becomes thinner, and there will be immortals or ghosts living on it. Once they occupy these big trees, they will disturb the peace in the home. Also said that there is a fairy road, give him your door. In rural areas, there is often a phenomenon of burning incense when cutting down trees, and people will also talk about letting the immortal family make way.
Of course, this is just a superstition. In fact, it makes sense from a scientific point of view! Trees block the sun and keep the house in darkness all day. Long-term lack of sunshine will definitely make people sick. In addition, the tree is too high, and it is easy to be struck by lightning in a thunderstorm, which poses a threat to the safety of this family!
There are two reasons why there is no window at the back of the house. The first reason is that the ancients were very concerned about the theory of geomantic omen, so if they opened the back window of their home in ancient times, they would expose their wealth to other people's homes, so that their wealth would collide with other people's homes and bring a lot of trouble to their homes. Therefore, for the sake of their own harmony, the ancients warned future generations not to open the window behind the house.
There is also a saying that if there is no window at the back of the house, it can play a very good anti-theft role. If you lock up your house, thieves can't come in from behind your house, and they can also play a role in preventing theft. In fact, they are all life warnings.
Having said that, what do you think of the above two sentences of our ancestors?
In addition, a new pond was opened in front of the door, and my family died.
There are no trees in front of the door and no flowers behind the house.
It's all a summary of experience, study hard and make good use of it.
As the saying goes, "Don't plant trees in front of the door, and open the window less at the back of the house". In fact, many people can understand the meaning between the lines without carefully reading this folk proverb, but if we go deep behind these two sentences, it contains the ancient people's warnings about some details in life, and each sentence makes sense.
Let's first interpret the so-called "no tree in front of the door". In fact, this statement is invisible in the city. If you put it in the city, it is tantamount to saying that there is no pile of things in front of the door. If you don't plant trees, you can't plant trees in front of the door, even bamboo.
Planting trees can prevent wind, and you can wait until the trees grow up before selling them home. But why didn't the ancients support or oppose this simple truth?
In fact, "no trees are planted in front of the door." The problems that the ancients saw were in the following two aspects. First of all, from the perspective of folk geomantic omen, the door belongs to the vent in a house and is also the fortune of a family. If there is a big tree in the middle, then waiting is to block wealth and happiness. It is even more troublesome to block the light. Waiting is to block the yang of heaven and earth.
Although there are some unreliable geomantic omen, the ancients wrote about the practice of planting trees in front of the door through this taboo statement.
Another reason is that planting trees at the gate not only takes up space, but also leaves on the roof yard when the wind blows, which is inconvenient to take care of and even causes some trouble to the family, so the ancients naturally won't allow planting trees in front of the door.
What do you mean by "there are few windows behind the house"? What's wrong with opening the window? First of all, from the structure of the house, there is actually a back window behind the house. The function of the rear window is ventilation and lighting, but the ancients said that opening windows less is actually a hint to prevent neighborhood conflicts.
Daylighting is a very important practice in rural areas. When the window is opened in the back room, many houses inevitably face other people's doors. Here, this practice is actually taboo. According to the understanding of the ancients, it is unlucky to wait for the front door to make money and the back window to make money.
And facing other people's doors will affect the harmony between neighbors over time. For these reasons, the ancients warned everyone to open fewer windows behind the house, which also made sense in life.
In fact, there are a lot of warnings about life. Many times we don't quite understand the meaning beyond this sentence, but if we really go deep into the lives of the ancients, this is a great wisdom summed up after life.
Although sometimes we think it is insignificant, from the practical point of view of life, these folk culture words have solved the big troubles in our lives and improved our quality of life.
Building a house in the countryside has been a great event since ancient times. Building a new house in the countryside, everyone has to worry about it. Therefore, houses occupy a very important position in people's minds, so there are many studies on building houses in rural areas. Today, let's learn the proverb "Don't plant trees in front of the house, don't open the window behind the house".
No trees are planted in front of the door and no windows are opened at the back of the house, that is to say, when building a house, no trees with tall and lush crowns can be planted at the entrance of the hall, and no intruders can be found on the back wall of the main house.
The specific reason is that the houses used to live in the countryside are all adobe houses, and the houses themselves are not strong enough, even if it is cloudy, it leaks rain, which is particularly easy to collapse when it is old. If a tree is planted in front, as the tree grows. Its roots and branches are a safety hazard to the unstable adobe house when it is windy and rainy. Moreover, its leaves will also affect the sunshine and make the house dark and humid. Therefore, it is not advisable to plant trees in front of the door.
Secondly, people in northern rural areas don't like to leave windows on the back wall of their houses. There are several reasons: 1, leaving windows on the back wall will cause poor ventilation before and after, and the house will be particularly cold when the north wind blows in winter. 2. Poor privacy. So I don't want to leave a window, and the neighbors in the back are also very taboo. So these proverbs are all summed up by our older generation and continue to this day.
I'm glad to answer your question.
"There are no trees in front of the house and no windows in the back" means that when building a house, trees with tall and dense crowns cannot be planted in front of the main house, and it is best not to open windows in the back wall of the house.
Let's first see why we can't plant trees in front of the door. In the past, houses in rural areas were all adobe houses with poor quality. Especially in the case of continuous rainy weather, rain leakage often occurs. Old houses in disrepair are particularly prone to collapse in long-term rainy weather. If you plant a tree with a big crown in front of the house, as the tree grows, the crown will slowly cover the roof. When it is windy and rainy, the branches are easily blown off the roof, which makes the houses that are not very strong again hit hard and the quality of the houses is getting worse and worse. Although the life of rural people is getting better and better now, houses are being built better and better. Although there is no need to worry that the branches will blow off and damage the house, planting trees with dense crowns in front of the main house will affect the lighting in the house. If the house is not exposed to the sun for a long time, it will become cold and humid, which will have an impact on people's lives.
Let's look behind the house without windows. In the past, building houses in the north didn't like to leave windows on the back wall. The reasons are as follows: first, leaving windows on the back wall will form convective wind. Although it will be cool in summer, it will become very cold when the north wind blows in winter, which will affect people's heating. Second, privacy will get worse. In our family, not only do we have to leave the back window when building our own house, but the neighbors behind us are also taboo, because we live in a relatively dense area, and every household is very close. If the neighbors in front leave the back window, their every move at home will be seen by the neighbors in front, which is very inconvenient. The same is true for families with rear windows, so for the privacy of their own homes and each other, few people will leave windows on the back wall, and generally only families facing the street in the back will leave windows on the back wall.
The rural saying "no trees in front of the house, no windows in the back" is the experience summed up by the older generation when building houses, and it is still helpful to people's lives. But many proverbs only apply to the environment at that time and should be treated dialectically.
I hope my answer can help you [smile]
I'm glad to answer your question. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, many proverbs have been forgotten. For example, there is an old saying in rural areas that no trees are planted in front of the house and no windows are opened behind the house. In fact, this old saying means something on the surface, but not planting trees in front of the door really means not planting trees? Many people have misunderstood this. Trees can be planted, but they should be planted reasonably and properly. If you don't open the window behind the house, it's true. Are you sure you can't open the window behind the house? The answer is definitely that windows can be opened, but the location of windows should also be planned according to the structure and materials of the house. So is there any basis or reason for this proverb? And look at the following analysis.
When building a house in the countryside, the first thing to consider is to ensure sufficient light. Especially in the past, the living conditions in rural areas were not very good, and most people's houses were made of wood or adobe. But these houses have one thing in common, that is, the structural materials are very simple and rough. If you plant trees in front of the door, it is easy to block the indoor light. It may even cause inconvenience in getting in and out. If the trees planted are relatively large, it will make the house wet all the year round or have potential safety hazards. Because the structure of the previous house was simple and rough, accidents often occurred in storms, and branches broke and hit the house, causing the house to leak rain. This happened when I was a child.
Not opening the window behind the house may remind people of superstition, but it is not the case. In many places, ventilation or privacy and theft prevention should be considered when building houses. In the past, houses in rural areas were all door-to-door, and the houses were close together. Some of them are even stuck together by two families. Besides, the house is short. If you open a window at the back of the house, the indoor situation will be clearly observed by neighbors or passers-by, especially in terms of theft prevention. In some areas in the north, the defect of opening windows behind houses is particularly prominent, and the indoor temperature drops very quickly in winter.
The above is my personal understanding, no trees are planted in front of the house, and no windows are opened behind the house. I think everyone born 85 years ago has encountered this situation. When I was a child, my family planted trees in front of the house. It is dangerous to rain on cloudy days, with light rain outside and heavy rain inside.
I hope the above answers are helpful to the subject!
No trees in front of the door literally means no trees at the door! There are many sayings in the countryside about not planting trees in front of the door. It is inevitable not to lift mulberry trees in front of the door. Mulberry and mourning are homophonic and unlucky. Fruit trees can't be planted at the door, especially those facing the door must be cut down, which is a big taboo in rural areas. From the perspective of modern health, trees tend to block the view of houses, resulting in darkness and humidity. But this may not be a problem for modern families. Now the doors and windows are bigger than before, and the light of the small window home itself is not good. In fact, there is nothing wrong with planting trees in front of the door, but it depends on what kind of trees are planted, which is easy to grow into towering trees. This kind of tree is really not suitable for planting, especially in the south. It is rainy and rainy, and a typhoon and rainstorm will blow the tree down. If you hit the roof of someone's house and the house is damaged, someone may get hurt, which is a big crime. There are also willow, locust and cypress trees, which are not suitable for planting. It is not because I am afraid that I will easily fall down and bring losses. The main reason is that morality is not very good. Old people in rural areas say that planting willows is easy to "flow money", planting locusts is easy to attract bad things, and planting cypresses is not suitable. But if you plant a jujube tree, pomegranate tree and Toona sinensis tree at your doorstep, there will be no problem. First of all, these trees generally don't grow thick and tall. Secondly, fruits can be eaten in the harvest season, which is very suitable for planting at home. So it is not entirely correct to say that no trees are planted in front of the door. We should look at it in two.
There is no such thing as "there are no windows behind the house". If there is no window behind the house, the whole house can't be seen from north to south, so the air in the house is not circulating and it is not very comfortable to live in. The buildings sold in the city are all the same. Only the middle households with rooms and windows facing south have lower prices, while the houses with transparent north and south have higher prices. Although there are more windows behind the house, the price has doubled. However, people who have seen very old houses in the countryside do find that there are no windows behind their houses. Even if there are windows, they are very small windows. Old people in rural areas explained that the main reason for opening the front hall is for safety reasons, because they all have courtyard walls, so there is no potential safety hazard in opening the front hall. The back of the house is different. If someone comes in through the window, they can easily spy on everything in the house, and they can hear people talking to the wall. It's not safe and there's no privacy, so everyone doesn't leave the window behind the house. Now there is no family without windows behind the house, and the windows are getting wider and wider, so that the ventilation in the house is difficult to get wet. As for planting trees in front of the door, there is not much stress, but no one will plant tall and stout trees, and all kinds of practical fruit trees will not be unsafe, and there are fruits to eat, killing two birds with one stone.
PS: Generally speaking, no trees are planted in front of the house, and no windows are opened behind the house. In ancient times, the relationship with the living environment and social environment may have some truth, but now many proverbs have changed with the development of society, so we should look at them from a developmental perspective.
In the former countryside, many people's houses had the same characteristics. They will neither plant trees in front of the door nor open windows on the wall behind the house.
Look at the first half. In fact, the custom of planting trees in front of the door has many reasons, one of which is superstition. You know, in rural areas, the degree of belief in Feng Shui can be seen. If you plant trees in front of the door, with the growth of the trees, they will eventually be lush, blocking the sunlight and directly blocking the sunlight from being projected into the yard. In geomantic omen, if the courtyard at home is in such a state, it will block good luck and finally gradually affect the development of the younger generation. Eventually, the family will decline. If this situation is not changed, it is difficult for this family to have a chance to turn over.
Another statement is more in line with the reality of life. After years of growth, trees will eventually block the sunlight projected into the yard, and people can't live without sunshine. Sunlight will supplement many nutrients that cannot be ingested in human food. If it is a humid area, there is no sunshine all year round, which is very humid. If you still keep out the rare sunshine, people's life will be shortened after a long time. Most of the younger generation are weak and sick. Looking at the second half of the proverb, I also introduced it from the perspective of feudal superstition and objective facts. From the feudal point of view, if a window is opened at the back door of a family, it will directly affect good feng shui. In feng shui, we should pay attention to hiding wind and gathering gas, so as to gather wealth and luck. However, if a window is opened at the back door, it will lead to a transparent accumulation state in the house, which will directly let wealth and luck float out of the door along the window and even directly affect the well-being of the family. Objectively speaking, rural people are talkative, and many middle-aged women, like their parents in the east and their families in the west, are short and never consider other people's feelings. The gift of gossip is used to the extreme. No matter what happens in the village, good things don't go out, and bad things spread directly. In order to prevent some people who love to break their mouths from listening to the wall and talking nonsense, people in the village generally don't choose to open windows at the back door of their rooms, which is a way to prevent others from eavesdropping on their privacy. Of course, in addition to this reason, many rural areas in the north also use this way of not opening windows to resist the cold in winter. But now people are not so superstitious. They all put curtains on the back wall, which can ventilate and circulate the space in summer, which is good for people's health. Just close the window in winter.
First of all, rural proverbs are a kind of culture. China's culture is rich and colorful. Among many cultures, rural folk culture has been handed down from generation to generation, and it has been highly respected by working people and has its own charm. Common saying culture is rooted in rural areas, flourishing and enduring. These are the precious wealth left by our ancestors, but the simple language contains profound truth and provides valuable life experience for the working people.
House is an important event in people's lives. Building a house in the countryside is a big expense, so everyone attaches great importance to building a house. After the house is built, they all hope that the environment will be more beautiful. So they planted some flowers and plants, which looked like a vibrant scene, and instantly made their mood suddenly clear, which not only beautified the environment but also cultivated their sentiments. However, our ancestors also paid attention to these things, saying that no trees were planted in front of the house and no windows were opened behind the house.
Why can't we plant trees in front of the door? There are many opinions in the countryside. One is that planting trees in front of the door will affect the lighting of the courtyard, especially some trees with large crowns, which will have a great impact on the environment of the courtyard, and it is easy to make the house lack of light, thus becoming dark and humid, which is not in line with our living environment. Therefore, it is generally not suitable for planting trees in front of the door. Choose some highly suitable trees to plant trees.
Secondly, the gate should be smooth and transparent, without obstacles and obstacles. According to folklore, it is also beneficial for wealth and good luck to go home. If trees are planted in the direction of the gate, it will block some wealth and hinder wealth.
There is also a saying that there are no windows behind the house.
Self-built houses in rural areas have few windows behind them. First, it is habit. Most of the self-built houses in rural areas are built facing south, and opening windows at the back of the house will not have much lighting effect. On the contrary, it will cause the north wind to blow into the house in winter, resulting in the indoor temperature being too low. Secondly, it is easy to attract the attention of thieves. Therefore, not opening the window behind the house is also a security measure. Third, there is a folk saying: "
Fourth, don't leave windows behind the house, which is also a good privacy protection function. If your house is too high and there are windows in the back, even if you like it, it seems that the neighbors in the back will not agree. Leaving a window like this will have a certain impact on the residents living in the back, so they will not agree to leave a window. My house is too low to have windows, which makes it easy for people to spy on the indoor environment and is not conducive to living.
This is an old saying, it is not safe to plant trees in front of the house and open the window behind it. When the tree grows up, it is easy for people to climb the tree and steal things in the hospital. The window at the back of the house is not easy to manage and is prone to accidents.
Nowadays, social security is getting better and better. In fact, the countryside has also changed. Planting trees and making windows transparent are becoming more and more common. In particular, the installation and use of cameras make the countryside quite safe.
The old saying makes sense, but in the historical stage, in the rural areas of China now, such an old saying will have no market and become unfamiliar.
