It's from the second book of The West Chamber: "It's better to be caught in a thief, though it's not suitable".
what the ancients meant was that the social and political status and economic situation of the families of men and women were equal, and it was suitable for marriage.
actually, there is a difference between a door and a household.
doors generally refer to the front door, the front door and the front door.
After all, the door is the face of the house, and it is also a place where wealth and blessings gather. Now it is an entrance, which is very important.
The "household" refers to the back door and doors of other rooms planned during building construction, which are different from the main door and are called "households".
There is a folk saying: "Doors should always be open and households should always be closed". What does it mean? If understood literally, the front door of the house should always be open, while the back door and the doors of other rooms should always be closed.
as for the reason, there is the following statement.
"The door should always be open" because the door is the "face" of the house, and it is also the entrance to receive relatives, friends and guests.
As the song goes, "My door is always open, waiting for you with open arms.
We are friends all over the world, please don't mention it. "
The constant number of guests at home shows that people have good connections and are of great help to life and work.
As the old saying goes, "With many friends, the road is easy to walk", which is also the expression.
The scene of "crowded doors" is not something that ordinary families can do. No matter in that era, such families were either rich or expensive.
of course, the door is always open, which is also a sign of hospitality.
From the perspective of geomantic omen, the gate, which is the entrance of wealth and good fortune, is always open, which is more conducive to the prosperity of wealth.
When other people hold weddings, they can also get a little happy by the way.
"The account should be normally closed", which is actually very easy to understand.
For example, our private rooms, bedrooms or other rooms need to be closed from time to time.
First, everyone wants to have their own private space. After all, everyone has privacy.
Second, for the sake of safety, the back door and the doors of other rooms are all open. Once a thief or someone with ulterior motives finds out, the property will be lost more or less.
There is actually a third reason, which is to look at the problem from the perspective of Feng Shui.
Wealth and blessings that come in through the front door will slip away directly through the open back door, which is what no one wants to see.
The last thing I want to mention is that "going through the back door" has become a derogatory term, which is a very bad social state.
in the days when the ancients lived, when the family held a funeral, they also went out through the back door.
That is to say, if the back door is always open, there is an unlucky meaning in it. Only when people leave home all the time will the back door be kept open.
Conclusion
The saying "The door should always be open and the household should always be closed" is a description of a state of life.
In the mansion where princes and princes live, there will be many courtyards, large and small, with too many doors and households, which are dazzling.
The more door and household groups there are, the more it can reflect the identity and position of the family in the industry. Of course, such a family must be a rare "aristocrat" in the local area.
At the same time, our ancestors also advised us not to think about "going through the back door" all the time, which is not only irresponsible to ourselves, but also unfair to others.
to be a man, you have to do the right thing before you can sit still.
