There are many common sayings that have been passed down in the countryside for thousands of years. The so-called "vulgar" means easy to understand. Centenarians and children who can talk can all learn about the countryside through these common sayings. traditional culture.
Chinese civilization has lasted for five thousand years. In this long history, there are both dross and essence. According to the characteristics of the evolutionary development of species, the dross will eventually be eliminated, and most of what is left behind is the essence of the wisdom of our ancestors. In rural areas, two things are very important. One is having a place to live, and the other is having fields. These two points can ensure the smooth progress of farmers' lives and production. Therefore, building a house has become a major event for farmers, and it requires a lot of attention.
Two halls and one room, a broken family. In the past, rural families with three brothers would build a new house after they got married and live independently. Although the families are separated, the brotherly bond remains unchanged, so they choose to build houses next to each other. When building a house, the most important thing is to plan the layout and then start laying the foundation.
When farmers plan the layout of their houses, they pay great attention to one thing, that is, there cannot be a room in the middle of the main room (now called the living room) of two families. The layout of two adjacent houses must be that the main room is next to the main room. Or room by room. So even laymen will pay special attention to whether they have made this mistake when inspecting the foundation. Why is this?
Some people will say that this is caused by feudal ideas in rural areas. Who in the modern world would pay attention to this? In fact, this is the house building experience summarized by ancestors of all generations. Although it is somewhat exaggerated, if you think about it carefully, it still has its scientific truth. If the layout of two halls and one room is really used, the room sandwiched in the middle will inevitably be disturbed by the halls on both sides. Whether it is eating, watching TV, talking, or children making noises, the room in the middle will be disturbed.
What's more, if the two main rooms make noisy noises at the same time, it will be difficult for the people living in the middle room to have a good rest. Over time, people will feel in a trance and feel uneasy. That's why people have such a saying.
So the sayings passed down by our ancestors are still very wise. I don’t know how many ups and downs it took to get this experience. So what is the general plan for building houses in rural areas? The best choice is to place the main room next to the main room and the rooms next to each other. This way, it is atmospheric and will not affect each other. It is in line with the Chinese culture of harmony and prosperity. Mainly, it is said that the orientation of the door is best to face south, because the north wind blows through the north-facing house in winter, which can easily cause illness, so there is this saying.
