As the saying goes, "The white tiger covers the dragon, and some people are poor." Is it really reasonable to pay attention to building houses in rural areas?

There are many proverbs circulating in rural areas, which are produced by the older generation of farmers summing up what they have seen, heard and felt, and expressing profound truth in plain words to guide similar situations that may be encountered in the future. In rural proverbs, farming arrangements and rural life are the most common. Among them, in addition to weddings and funerals, the most important thing in rural areas is to build houses, which are often built by themselves to settle down. So there are many proverbs about building a house. "The white tiger covers the dragon, and some people are poor for generations" is about building a house. So what does this proverb mean? Does it make sense?

Literally speaking, if the white tiger overtakes the green dragon when building a house, it is definitely not a good thing for the family, which may lead to poverty for every generation. Although exaggerated, it also shows that farmers are very concerned about the white tiger and the green dragon, and this situation should be avoided when building houses.

What about the white tiger and the green dragon? We all know that there are four great beasts in China, namely, Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu. At the same time, we also know our respective positions. Zuo Qinglong and you Bai Hu go up to Suzaku and down to Xuanwu. So the white tiger covers the green dragon, that is, the house of the white tiger on the right is higher than that of the green dragon on the left. To put it bluntly, the roof of your right neighbor is higher than your home.

According to the principle of building houses facing south, the dragon is in the east and the white tiger is in the west. The reason why the white tiger is not allowed to cover the dragon also means "purple gas comes from the east" For rural people, dragons represent good luck. If it is covered by a white tiger, it will be bad for the main family. In addition, according to the rising sun and the setting sun, the green dragon is taller than the white tiger, which is also conducive to lighting. Also, when it rains, it is high in the east and low in the west, which is also conducive to drainage, so that rainwater will not be discharged into the house. Therefore, there is a saying in the countryside that "it is better to let the white tiger look up than the blue dragon", which means not to let the white tiger cover the blue dragon.

In fact, there are many common sayings about building houses in rural areas, but they are all similar, such as "planting flowers before planting trees", "adding walls to walls, destroying families", "being empty before being tall, not being alone" and so on. Of course, there are also "white tigers cover the Qinglong, and some people are poor" and "It is better to let the Qinglong take off than to let the white tigers look up". But there is still a saying that "a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor", and everything is concerned and annoying.

To sum up, there are many proverbs about building houses in rural areas, which fully embodies the importance attached to building houses. If the topic, don't let the white tiger cover the dragon. In fact, sometimes it is just an ideal state. Whether it is feng shui or morality, it is a yearning for a better life. If it is really linked to "that generation is poor", then there is really no need to be superstitious. According to the current housing layout, it is difficult to fully realize it. Therefore, proverbs have their significance and value, but with the development of the times, they are sometimes eliminated, so don't blindly believe them.
