This is also the requirement of the ancients for the location of the house, or a method of choice.
Then some people will ask that some plains have no mountains and ridges, which is useless.
It is true that this sentence is useless to the plain area. In ancient times, we called the plain "Pingyang" and the mountains and hills "mountains".
Of course, the address and location of plains and mountains are different. The requirement of the mountain is to look up, and the plain is to look up.
In other words, the mountainous area requires that there must be a mountain behind to build a house, and the plain requires a river around it.
Is it true that the ancients said that "the green hills are there, and there is no fear of burning without firewood"? What's the point?
I believe that people who have been to the countryside will find that this sentence will be written on the Spring Festival couplets in front of many villagers' homes, "Facing the green hills, giving birth to filial sons, facing the flat mountains, giving birth to saints."
So what does this sentence mean?
First, it is people's yearning and expectation for good things.
Every family wants their children to be filial. Of course, China has attached great importance to filial piety since ancient times.
Therefore, the filial piety of all virtues comes first, and China has also produced many dutiful sons since ancient times.
For example, the achievements of "pregnant chrysanthemum" and "crying bamboo shoots" during the Three Kingdoms period are well-known stories.
In the Qing dynasty, people regarded braids as more important than anything else. It is because of that sentence that the body is influenced by parents.
It can be seen that China has attached great importance to filial piety since ancient times.
Rural people regard this sentence as "a dutiful son in front of the green hill and a saint after the flat ridge."
I really want to express my expectations for my children and grandchildren and hope that future generations will be more filial.
Second, this sentence has some truth besides expectation.
Building a house in rural areas generally has important requirements for the sitting direction and orientation of the house. For example, in Feng Shui, you are required to sit facing south.
Of course, this also has certain significance. You know, no animal or plant in this world can leave the sun, and a house facing south can make good use of the sun, because the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west.
As for why the house is required to face the castle peak, it is also related to sunshine.
Imagine that if your back is facing the green hills and the sun shines for too long, it will lead to too long sunshine every day. If the house is too dry, it is easy to cause a fire.
Furthermore, due to long-term exposure to the sun, especially in summer, people's skin may get sunburned due to excessive exposure.
If you face the castle peak, the sunshine will be blocked by the mountain for a period of time, so that people in the house can receive proper sunshine.
Of course, in addition to the sunshine problem, facing the castle peak has another advantage.
You know, looking at that blue mountain every day will make people feel better.
And when you open the door in the morning, you can see a lush landscape, which is a happy thing for a person, so the mood of this day will be very good.
Moreover, the meaning of Castle Peak has been a symbol of filial piety and loyalty since ancient times, so Castle Peak has the honor of burying loyal bones, and white iron casts innocent courtiers.
So the ancients faced the castle peak in the same way.
Third, why did the ancients ask to return to Pingling?
Compared with Castle Peak, Ping Ling Mountain is not so high, so facing Ping Ling Mountain can't block too much sunshine, so facing Ping Ling Mountain is not so important for blocking some sunshine.
Then why turn your back on Ping Ling?
Because the embankment is relatively flat, it can't keep the rain well when it rains, so the rain can only flow downwards.
If you are facing Ping Ling at this time, then rain can easily enter your home. Imagine that your home is wet when it rains heavily. what do you think? So if your back is to the flat ridge, you can prevent rainwater from entering the house.
The back-to-back ridge has some advantages besides preventing rainwater from entering the house directly.
Generally speaking, Ping Ling is so flat that many animals, such as snakes and mice, will climb down directly from it.
Therefore, in order to prevent these animals from running directly to farmers' homes, they should turn their backs on the flat ridges. After all, these animals will affect the lives of farmers when they get home.
The mouse is fine. If it is a snake, the risk factor is very high.
Of course, I think the moral of the wise man with his back to Pingling is that because Pingling is flat and has no peaks, people look honest and honest, and then the moral is extended.
Generally speaking, for "facing the castle peak, a dutiful son is born, and facing the flat ridge, a saint is born."
"It is not only the requirements and methods of building a house, but also a kind of high hope that people give to future generations.
After all, parents want their children to be successful and filial.
