Wealth and feng shui are passed down from generation to generation.

People who have lived in rural areas basically feel that some rural areas are very particular about Feng Shui ethics. There are many ceremonies for building houses, weddings and funerals, so there are not many proverbs derived. Today is a common saying about building a house: "White tigers make green dragons, and some people are poor for generations." What does this proverb mean? Does this make sense? Let's crack them one by one.

"The white tiger covers the dragon, and someone replaces the poor" refers to the layout of your house.

Every household in rural areas has a homestead, so it is much easier to build a house with land, so we pay more attention to the geomantic omen and layout of the house. Generally speaking, when building a house, the white tiger overshadows the green dragon, which may lead to every generation in the family being poor.

So what is a white tiger and a green dragon? Qinglong and Baihu are two elephants in the ancient astrology of China, representing the east and west directions respectively. The white tiger covers the green dragon, that is, the house in the west is taller than the house in the east.

According to the principle of building houses facing south, the green 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" Qinglong represents 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 also a saying in rural areas that "it is better to let the white tiger look up than let the green dragon take off", which means not to let the white tiger cover the green dragon.

Then, does it make sense to say that "the white tiger covers the green dragon and someone replaces the poor"? As an atheist, I think this is a feudal superstition and unreasonable, but if your western house is taller than you, it is true that you have poor lighting and drainage.

People attach great importance to building houses, which leads to many proverbs. The geomantic theory and moral theory of these proverbs are all yearning for a better life. Proverbs have their significance and value, but with the development of the times, they will sometimes be eliminated, so don't blindly believe them.
