It can be said that these proverbs are the crystallization of predecessors' wisdom under the background of the times. In modern times, we can scoff at the feudalism of the ancients, but we have to admire their wisdom.
People sum up their experiences into easy-to-understand sentences for people to understand and remember.
As long as it is related to daily life, whether it is weddings, funerals, or food, clothing, housing and transportation, we can all feel something.
Today, I will introduce a proverb to you, which is called "when the pond opens in front of the door, the family will be ruined."
This proverb sounds scary. What were we warned not to do? Let's listen to how the old people explain it.
1. Why do you say that you can't open a square pond at home? Is this a symbol of bad things?
1, open a square pond at the door, mosquitoes are more worried.
Because the square pond is open at the door, that is to say, it is similar to a pond. People often raise some fish, lotus flowers and the like in it, but such ponds are generally stagnant. As long as people don't change water actively, the water inside will be filled with more and more bacteria and sundries.
It's okay to freeze directly in winter, but bacteria multiply very quickly in summer. This stagnant water will soon attract all kinds of mosquitoes and have an unpleasant smell.
In the past, people's immunity was weak and medical technology was not very developed. At that time, many diseases of people were infected by mosquitoes. Digging such a stagnant pool at home will undoubtedly lead to many disasters.
Therefore, opening a square pond in front of the door was a harmful thing in the eyes of people in the past, which would attract many mosquitoes and the worst result would be toxic pests.
Open a square pond at the door, the children are in danger.
Open a square pond at the door. For children, they can skate in winter and play in the water in summer.
If the square pond is big enough, there may even be some small fish and shrimp in it, which will attract children more.
But when children play in the square pond, danger comes with it.
Once a child accidentally falls under the ice while skating, it will be over if he can't swim. Even if he can swim, he may not find the exit. If it is summer, it is also dangerous for children to fall in.
Even if there is nothing in it, the child may fall on his legs and arms.
Digging such a big pond is very harmful to children. Don't do it. The child is as delicate as ever.
3. Superstition of opening a square pond at the door
In addition to the first two hazards, it is absolutely forbidden to open a square pond at the door.
There is an old saying that "the mountain is the master and the water is the master of wealth", that is to say, the feng shui of the mountain affects family members and the feng shui of the water affects wealth.
In people's understanding, flowing water means rolling in financial resources.
But the pond is full of stagnant water, which not only means that the family will be lifeless, but also has no prospect of making a fortune.
In the concept of the ancients, the mirror is an object with heavy yin.
Because ancient people felt strange and horrible about themselves in the mirror, horror stories about the mirror emerged one after another at home and abroad.
The water is like a mirror. Paving such a huge "mirror" at home is also a thing that will bring a lot of yin to the home. People think it will bring unclean things.
Although all the above is nonsense for modern science, the so-called yin and evil are actually closely related to the reflection of the human brain.
A square pond at home, a combination of various factors at some time, may really make the brain feel terrible, so that people think it is supernatural.
Although ghosts and gods do not exist, but feelings are real, it is better to avoid them.
Summary:
Therefore, the old people will say such threatening words as "the square pond opens in front of the door and the whole family dies". For people in the past, digging a square pond in front of the door was really unlucky and unacceptable in all aspects.
Now many developers will also build some small ponds in front of their homes when building houses. Although it also violates this proverb, these ponds still have safety facilities after all.
Besides, these ponds also look like stagnant water. In fact, water is also flowing and will be replaced, which is different from the concept of square pond in the proverb.
Instead, you can add some features to the community and beautify it.
