They think it is unlucky to dig a pool in front of the door. Although digging a pool in front of the door can make water flow to vegetable gardens and orchards for watering vegetables and fruit trees at the first time, digging a pool in front of the door destroys Feng Shui.
Many people say that it is superstitious to "open a square pond in front of the door and ruin the family." Even if a pool is dug in front of the door, it is not necessarily that the family broke up and people died.
Although this proverb is superstitious, it makes sense to think about it carefully.
Listening to the proverbs of the old population and following them may bring us many benefits.
What is the meaning of the sentence "a square pond opens in front of the door, and the family is ruined?" ? What truth does it contain?
First, superstitious explanation
According to Mr. Feng Shui, it is unlucky to dig a pool in front of the door.
Ancient people thought that Feng Shui was a symbol of wealth. If a pool is dug in front of the door and the water in the pool is running water, it is naturally lucky, but if the pool in front of the door is stagnant water, it is a symbol of wealth destruction.
So the ancients thought it was unlucky to dig a pool in front of the door.
In addition to this explanation, people think that water can illuminate people's shadows and surrounding buildings, and the pool is like a mirror.
Digging a pool in front of the door is equivalent to putting a big mirror in front of the door, which looks extremely unlucky. Ancient people didn't dig a pool in front of the door, let alone do things that broke money.
Second, the actual explanation.
It is not entirely superstition that the ancients came up with such proverbs.
The reason why they attach so much importance to Feng Shui is because the consequences of digging a pool in front of the door are extremely serious, and it is also to scare people not to dig a pool in front of the door.
If this proverb is turned into today's life, it actually makes sense.
First of all, dig a pool in front of people's house, because the water inside is stagnant, and it will stink if it doesn't flow for a long time.
If there is such a smelly pond in front of our house, people will live in a stinky smell every day. When guests from afar come home, they will smell an unpleasant smell as soon as they enter the door, which will make them uncomfortable.
When we sat down to eat with the guests, we smelled an unpleasant smell, and everyone was very unhappy.
The stench of the pool has been emitting, which will not only bring more inconvenience to the host family, but also embarrass the host and guest.
Secondly, if there are children at home, children are naughty by nature, either like to touch fish or shrimp.
Summer is coming, the weather is hot, and they also like to play in the water.
If the depth of the pool in front of the door is high, or the accumulated water does not flow for a long time, there will be more and more silt in the pool.
If children play in the water when adults are not looking, and their feet are badly welded by mud, they will be in danger, or they will lose their lives because the water is too deep to swim ashore.
Therefore, in order to avoid these unlucky things, the owner will not dig a pool in front of the house.
Furthermore, with the arrival of summer, the temperature is gradually rising and there are more and more mosquitoes.
When the water in a pool stinks because it doesn't flow for a long time, mosquitoes will follow.
Ancient medicine was not very clever, and too many diseases were spread by mosquito bites.
If a pond is dug in front of the door, this paddy field will attract countless mosquitoes and bring danger to their lives. In order to protect their lives, they won't dig a pond in front of the door.
Finally, many people like to drink. Every time they eat or have guests at home, wine culture must be indispensable at the dinner table.
Wine will paralyze people's brains and slow them down.
If a pool is dug in front of the house, the host will faint while drinking with the guests. At this time, the guest or host will run around under the action of alcohol. If he accidentally falls into the pool and has no ability to save himself, he may die.
For the sake of safety, it is not suitable to dig a pool in front of the door.
It seems that the ancients had great wisdom. The reason why they add too much superstition to common sayings is to scare people not to do dangerous things.
Ancient people didn't build pools in front of their doors because they paid attention to geomantic omen. Modern people don't build a pool in front of the door because they pay attention to the word "Geely".
No matter from which angle, this proverb has a deeper meaning.
Summary:
Although the phrase "the pond in front of the door opens, the family breaks down and people die" doesn't seem so serious on the surface, but after careful understanding, you will find that there are many reasons in it.
For the sake of people's safety and comfortable living environment, neither ancient nor modern people should dig a pool in front of their homes.
Modern people should also listen to these proverbs among the old population, which contain too much truth.
If we can seriously understand the meaning and apply it to real life, our life may be smoother and smoother.
