Especially in rural areas, choosing a good location to build a house can not only build a happy new house, but also seek more wealth and blessings for the family.
It sounds superstitious, but in fact, there are many sayings about building a house.
For example, in many rural areas, people have heard the saying, "It is better to have a small facade than a field in front of the door."
This statement makes sense at first glance, but after careful consideration, some netizens have put forward different views.
They don't think this proverb is correct.
The correct statement should be "I would rather have 10,000 mu of farmland than mountains" and "I would rather have paddy fields than dry fields".
The last two sentences fully show that it is a good thing to have fields at home.
Such a contrary statement makes people wonder, which sentence is right? In fact, in order to understand the meaning, we must first correctly interpret the meaning of these three proverbs.
First, what is better than ten thousand mu of land in front of the house, not a mountain in front?
Many old people in the village understand the folk saying that "there are ten thousand mu of land at home, not as good as a mountain in front of them".
Literally, this sentence means that if you build a house, you would rather have 10 thousand mu of fertile land in front of you than go out to back the mountain.
First of all, in this sentence, ten thousand mu of land is an exaggeration.
You know, it is very rare to have 100 mu of land in the mountainous area before, and it is impossible to save 10 thousand mu.
As people say, there can't be mountains in front of us, mainly because if the front of the room is high mountains, then the building address will be narrow and the vision will not be broad.
Choosing such a location to build a house not only affects the line of sight, but also is very troublesome to go out.
Because going out is climbing a mountain, which means that people's lives will be affected and become very difficult.
As for the sentence that everyone cares about and the sentence that "there is a field in front of the door is not as good as a small facade in front of the door", which sentence is more correct, in fact, there is no clear conclusion.
Because the two proverbs are used in different occasions, they are not suitable for comparison together.
2. Is it better to have paddy fields in front of the house than dry soil in front of it?
Apart from the last proverb, this proverb is also very common among the people.
It means that residents would rather have paddy fields in front of their houses than dry fields.
This sentence generally applies to southern rice areas, which means to explain three problems.
1, management problem
In rural areas, most families have the habit of raising poultry and livestock.
Compared with the planting methods in the north, there are some differences in the planting seasons of rice in the south.
If residents have poultry and livestock at home, it is often more conducive to life to have paddy fields in front of their houses.
Because paddy fields are seasonal, it is beneficial to the management of poultry and livestock.
If the soil in front of the door is dry, crops will be planted almost all year round, and livestock will be difficult to manage.
2. Health problems
In addition to the management of poultry and livestock, people have such a saying because paddy fields are more conducive to life at present.
You know, fertilization is often needed in the process of farming. If it is paddy field, the taste of fertilizer disappears after it is mixed with soil in water.
But if it is dry land, the taste of fertilizer will stay for a long time after fertilization.
This will affect life to a certain extent, even because these smells affect the surrounding environment.
Third, is it better to have a small facade at home than a field at home?
When we understand the first two idioms, we should focus on the idiom mentioned at the beginning.
You know, the existence of this proverb has certain significance.
The appearance mentioned in this proverb refers to some empty places.
Artificial fields refer to paddy fields and paddy fields planted in general.
The reasons why people can't fill the front and back of the house mainly come from these two points.
1, security issues
In some people's minds, it is not a good thing to have a field at home, mainly because of the deep impression left by early history.
In the old society, soldiers and bandits were often rampant during civil strife.
If there is a field in front of the house, then the family is usually in the outermost or front position of the village.
Once villains and gangs appear, they have no chance to escape.
In contrast, farmers who have open spaces in front of their houses and are not adjacent to the fields are mostly located behind the villages.
When the bad guys attack, they can escape and survive for the first time.
2. Feng Shui problem
In addition to the security concerns left by the old society, people are so obedient to such proverbs because of some geomantic sayings.
In the process of building a house, some people think that residents who build a house in front can block some unfavorable factors for the house behind.
In this way, there are naturally some bad views on the peripheral houses.
In order to avoid the influence of fortune and good luck, it has become a well-known thing to be unwilling to build outside the site.
Summary:
Although folk proverbs have many feudal meanings, when we understand them carefully, we will find that they are not all meaningless.
Many of these remarks are worth pondering.
Therefore, it is suggested that in the process of understanding proverbs, we should not understand them literally, but make effective inferences based on the social background and people's lives at that time.
Blind understanding and taking words out of context will not only misinterpret the meaning of common sayings, but also have a bad influence on personal life.
