Why are the doors and windows of ancient houses, this house and that house facing each other?

As the saying goes, "At the entrance of Lu Yu, the population does not exist; Many roads have been met, and there are no old people at home. "If you can't avoid it, you can hang gossip at the door, or erect exorcism objects such as Mount Tai Shi Gandang to solve it. In front of the door, avoid the trees and rush forward. As the saying goes, it is easy to attract plague. If the door is facing the neighbor's house, don't go straight at it, and don't close the door. It is generally considered that two doors are opposite and both sides are unlucky. Especially if the door is small, it will suffer more, which is commonly known as "big mouth". If you can avoid it, you need to build a shadow wall in front of your home to stop the invasion of evil things. Yao people have similar customs. The Yao family's houses are all rows of buildings, because there are no opposite doors and objects in front. This taboo is very strict and originated very early. At first, it was said that there was a record that "the door was not opposite" in Jing Yao. The door also avoids the gable or roof of the house next door. Secularity is unlucky, but we must try our best to break it. The door should not drip directly on the eaves.

In the past, the folk houses were very particular about the pattern. Generally, one hospital and four houses are fixed, and the main room, wing room, gatehouse, kitchen and toilet have their own positions. They should not be confused, otherwise it will be unlucky. As the saying goes, the house is easy to build and avoid being empty. There are five realities and five vacuities. Five realities make people rich, and five deficiencies make people poor. The five facts are: (1) There are many small people in the house; (2) the door of the house is small; (3) the wall is complete; (4) Six livestock are complete; (5) The water flows to the southeast. Five shortages: (1) There are few people in the room; (2) The doors are large and small; (3) the courtyard wall is incomplete, (4) there is no well stove; (5) More land and fewer houses. On the one hand, the contrast between the actual five realities and five virtual demands that the architectural pattern should be real and not virtual; On the other hand, it is also an inevitable manifestation of the rich and poor in the family. ?

As for the shape of the homestead, it is generally believed that the housing base should be low before and high after, and it is forbidden to be high before and low after. In Linxian County, Henan Province, there is a "young son Sun Yinghao, whose front is low and then high"; The saying that the former is high and the latter is low, and the descendants are not prosperous. House taboo dustpan shape, is to accompany the house to the outside, is considered to be losing money. Therefore, when building the left and right escort rooms, we should pay attention to the inward collection of three points in the outer section. People think it can gather wealth and treasure. The house is not square, especially triangular, commonly known as the "three-legged courtyard". To build an east-west house, "it is better to call a white tiger to open its mouth than to call a green dragon in its early days", and "it is better to call a green dragon a foot taller than a white tiger to press a head".

That is to say, the number of rooms in Westinghouse cannot be more than that in the East Room. The number of rooms to build a house, to avoid repeated learning. Usually single room, three rooms and five rooms are used as one. A house without even a room. As the saying goes, "Four or six grades can't pass the spine, and the spine will kill the girl." I also feel that "four or six don't take charge". After building four or six houses, I can't live in the main house, and my family is fine with it. This phenomenon of using even numbers in architecture and housework is probably also related to the habit of voting and political affairs.
