Why is there a saying in ancient times that "people live in graves instead of temples"? What is the secret?

When I was a child, I was most afraid to go home at night, because the most places on the mountains in rural areas were cemeteries, not afraid of ghosts, but this silence was still creepy with a little evil wind. However, I tried to hear the old man say that when there is no place to live outside the village base, even if you live in a graveyard, you should not live in temples such as the Land Temple and the Longwang Temple. At first, I thought there was such a big gap between the two environments. Why choose a bad cemetery? Later I learned that the temple was a town demon, so I couldn't live there. Of course, there are other reasons.

First, the reason of Feng Shui theory In fact, although the cemetery looks terrible, it is almost a treasure trove of Feng Shui. Because what the ancients want most is the protection of their ancestors, it is natural for them to choose an auspicious place that can bring good luck. So, this is why in Macau, many giants are willing to build luxury houses on Fanshan. Then the temples in rural areas are not well located, mostly in the shade, that is, where the yin is particularly heavy.

Second, the reasons for believing in gods and buddhas For most rural people, the temples where gods and buddhas live are not allowed to be disturbed at night. Because these gods and buddhas are guarding the peace of one side, their peace cannot be disturbed. Otherwise, there will be a natural punishment. In addition, because the gods and buddhas do not only bring peace and blessings to one party, but also have the responsibility to kill demons and exorcise them, and when monsters travel at night, the gods and buddhas are also places where demons gather, so it is not advisable to stay for a long time.

Third, the reasons for the natural environment In addition to these superstitious factors, there are also natural environment factors. In rural areas, the choice of cemetery is to sit south facing north, which is just the opposite of the house we usually live in. This place will be cooler in summer and warmer in winter, so it is also suitable for staying at night. The temple is not too high. They are not only prone to water and humidity in summer, but also prone to wind in winter, which is very unsuitable for staying overnight. Finally, whether it is superstition, geomantic omen or scientific argumentation, try not to spend the night in the temple unless absolutely necessary.
