When building houses in rural areas, it is often said that "it is better to let the white tiger look up than let the green dragon take off". What does this mean?

When building houses in rural areas, people often say that "it is better to let the white tiger look up than the green dragon", because the houses in our northern rural areas are basically in the pattern of facing south, east and west in rows, and north and south in rows. So when building a house, the neighbors all face south, that is, the east neighbors on the left and the Westinghouse on the right. However, in the traditional exquisite, there is a dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right, so it doesn't matter that the house of the east neighbor is taller than his own house, while the house of the west neighbor can't be taller than his own house, otherwise it means that he is overwhelmed. If the houses adjacent to the countryside, especially the mountain houses, cannot be higher in the west than in the east, it will cause neighborhood disputes.

In addition, the "wood of life", which represents life, grows vigorously and needs not only water but also some light. The sun rises and sets in the direction of "east (southeast) west", and the east (Qinglong) is higher, which makes you bathe in the sun earlier, grow more vigorously and have better significance. On the contrary, it has inhibitory significance, and the west (white tiger) is shorter and less sheltered. The sun sets in the afternoon, and the house can be illuminated by lights for longer at night. Generally speaking, there is plenty of light during the day. The house is dry but not wet, which is beneficial to human health and people's lives are more comfortable.

In recent years, there is another saying in rural areas that houses in the west are too high, which affects their own drying of grain. As we all know, after the grain is harvested, the roof of one of our bungalows will be ventilated. The sun is strongest from noon to three or four in the afternoon, and it is located in the southwest. The sun shines from west to east. If the houses in the west are too high, it will affect the grain drying.

As for whether it makes sense, it is because of the lighting problem, which is enough to show that this sentence makes sense. However, every family now has a unified plan for height when building a house. This point need not be emphasized. Now building a house pays more attention to safety first, and waterproof, shockproof, fire prevention and theft prevention have become the top priority. It is enough for us to know these ancient sayings handed down from the people.
