In this way, the crops planted in front of and behind their house can be watered with water as quickly as possible.
Only when there is enough water for irrigation can crops have a good harvest and farmers will not go hungry.
The ancients lived by mountains and rivers, and they opened up more land to grow snacks. When snacks are harvested, their families will gradually become rich.
In ancient times, farmers were mostly suppressed by the top because of their ideological limitations, so they would pin their rich lives on the gods.
They believe in ghosts and gods and believe that as long as they keep praying to God and worshiping Buddha, they will one day get rid of the control of the upper class, find freedom and usher in wealth.
Now some old people will pop up a few common sayings.
They think there is some truth in these proverbs. Even in the era of advanced technology, some old people will still believe them.
Do you know what the old people mean when they say that they are afraid of the sedan chair house instead of the pond behind the house? Is there any truth in this?
First, "not afraid of the pond behind the house"
If you want to know the meaning of this proverb and whether it contains some truth, you must first know what "the pond behind the house" means.
As we all know, the ancients paid attention to geomantic omen in building houses, and the houses should be built beside the water.
It stands to reason that people should build their houses where there is water, which should mean making money, but why do people say that "the pond behind the house" is not good? The geomantic omen mentioned by the ancients refers to the water flowing in front of and behind the house. The water mentioned here is flowing living water, not stagnant water.
If there is a slowly flowing river in front of the house of ancient people, the water in it flows all the year round, which naturally means making money. But if there is a pool behind the house built by ancient people, the water in it is stagnant water, which is an unlucky symbol.
The stagnant water in the pool is easy to deteriorate, and it begins to stink when the temperature rises gradually.
Living in such an environment, the ancients not only had a bad mentality, but also had a hard time welcoming wealth.
Not only that, when summer comes, countless mosquitoes will surround the pool behind the house.
These mosquitoes will threaten people's lives. Ancient medicine was underdeveloped. A bite from a mosquito is enough to infect people with some viruses and kill them.
Therefore, it is unlucky to have a pool behind the house built by the ancients.
Second, "I'm afraid of sedan chair room"
Although there is a pool behind the house built by the ancients, it is unlucky.
But the ancients thought it was nothing compared with the sedan chair house.
What is a sedan chair room? In the eyes of ancient people, a house with incorrect location was called a sedan chair house.
At first, people thought that when building a house, if only one layer of foundation was planned, it was impossible to build another layer on top of the house.
If you violate this practice, the foundation people choose can't keep up with the bearing capacity of a two-story building, and it is easy to collapse.
Secondly, when people choose the address of a building, they should not choose between two mountains.
Although people pay attention to mountains and rivers, if the house is built between two mountains, people living in the house will often be blown away by strong winds.
No matter how healthy a person is, people will have physical problems if they are blown by strong winds all the year round.
In addition, people think that building a house between two trees will also bring some dangers to people.
If the house is built between two trees, and these two trees are particularly big, it will undoubtedly block the sun.
Houses that don't bask in the sun are in a wet state for a long time, which may attract some mosquitoes or snakes and mice.
A person who lives in a dark house for a long time will get worse and worse without sunlight.
Snakes and mice attracted by humid environment may attack humans, leading to human death.
This is what the ancient population called "sedan chair room". When building houses, the ancients always pinned some hopes and dreams on ghosts and gods. Building houses in strict accordance with geomantic omen does contain some superstitious colors, but the wisdom of the ancients is really extremely powerful.
They know that to build a house, it is necessary to choose a good address, and a bad address is easy to build a "sedan chair room."
People living in such a house for a long time will get worse and worse.
After our ancestors discovered this problem, in order to convince future generations to build houses according to the address of a capital with good geomantic omen, they fabricated some superstitious statements.
Use superstitious language to warn future generations not to choose the wrong position, otherwise they will lose some health and wealth.
After hearing these warnings from ancestors, future generations are also worried that their health will be unhealthy and their financial path will be blocked, so they will follow their proverbs when building houses.
Summary:
Until 2 1 century, these proverbs can still be used in housing construction.
It's just that when we interpret proverbs, we should interpret them in a scientific way, not in a superstitious way.
