What does the old rural saying "the mountains are far ahead and the mountains are near behind" mean?
This sentence is actually about the location problem when building houses in rural areas. It is said that when building a house, the site should be far away from the front hill to prevent it from being blocked and too depressing; A little closer to the back hill means "there is a backer behind". In addition, if you choose this place to build a house, the sunshine will be more abundant in winter, the wind will be much smaller and the temperature will be higher, which is more conducive to spending the cold winter.
In addition, this sentence is somewhat feng shui-oriented. If the house is too close to the front hill, it will block our financial path, that is to say, it is difficult to get rich if the money from afar can't come in; On the contrary, building a house with a back hill just shows that there is a backer behind it and it also blocks the evil wind behind the house. Building a house behind the mountain "has a close influence on the physical and mental health and career development of the owner." Auspicious qi can bring the homeowner a smooth career and extensive wealth.
Different regions may have different interpretations of this old saying. Let's see what netizens say:
This sentence clearly tells us that to build a house in rural areas, we must first choose a good geographical location, at least to meet the requirements of the living environment. In fact, there are many stresses on building houses in rural areas, not only related to mountains, but also related to roads, water and gas fields. If when choosing the foundation of a house, there are mountains behind the house, water beside the house, broad vision in front of the house, comfortable and livable environment, pleasant mood and auspicious atmosphere, this is the land of Feng Shui.
The rural old saying "the front mountain is far away and the back mountain is near" is a geomantic pattern, and it is also the basic requirement for people living in mountainous areas to build houses. Building a house in a mountainous area is often at the foot of a mountain or in an open space between two mountains. The mountain in front is far away, that is, the mountain facing the front door is far away. From the perspective of geomantic omen, Qianshan Mountain is also called an Mountain, and there are several situations. The meaning of the desk in front of the door is very awkward. If you are far away, you will feel low. The front door is open and empty, and the mountain behind it is close, so you can rely on it for the wind.
