The ancients advised: there is water behind the house, open the door and see the grave, and don't return home. What's the point?

Many rural old sayings should be treated dialectically. There are many essences, but there are also quite a few dross, because some folk songs and proverbs have their own use environment and history. More importantly, some folk sayings even have feudal ideas, which are even more undesirable, but these are the crystallization of thousands of years of wisdom of our ancestors and deserve our understanding. For example, the saying of building a house in rural areas is that "there is water behind the house, open the door and see the grave, and the home will not return." Next, let's see what this means. What's the point? Actually, this is the advice of the ancients, great wisdom!

The so-called "there is water behind the house, open the door to see the grave, and the loser will never return" means that if there is water behind the house (including rivers, ponds, reservoirs, ponds, etc.), or a mound appears in front of the gate, it is very unlucky. In fact, the phrase "there is water behind the house, open the door and see the grave, and the loser will never return" is a typical rural proverb about building site selection. Let's talk about why "there is water behind the house" will lead to "the family is broken and people die."

This is because the pond they live in is too close, and the young and ignorant children at home often jump into the pond to take a bath crazily, and will be drowned if they are not careful. Even if you don't jump into the pond for a wild bath, you will often play by the water, which will have security risks in the long run; In addition, "there is water behind the house" also has an impact on the building safety of the house. To build a house by the river, the foundation should be laid on the river bed, which is soft in geology. Even if reinforcement measures are taken, it can't guarantee that the river will be washed year after year, and it is easy to be wet and easy to breed mosquitoes. In the long run, the foundation of the house will also be damaged, which is the biggest safety hazard. So it is not recommended to build a house by the water.

Secondly, let's see why "opening the door to see the grave" will also "lose home". We know that the grave is a place to bury the dead, and it is a gloomy and obscure place. Most people are not in a good mood when they see the grave, especially the timid people, who will have many associations and be afraid; It turns out that the front door of the house is a place to gather money. "Opening the door to get money, opening the door to get money" was replaced by burning paper in front of the grave. Too much yin will inevitably affect the yang and magnetic field of the house, and then affect the health of the family. As for the "failure to return home", it is actually an exaggeration.

In fact, it is said that a family with "water behind the house, open the door to see the grave" will gradually decline, eventually leading to the separation of wives and children! Therefore, building a house is exquisite, and it should be considered from many aspects such as aesthetics, practicality and economy. After all, building a house in the countryside is a century-old project, and it is still necessary to choose a good address, such as north-south orientation, transparent north-south, open terrain and good vision. It is safe and comfortable to live; In this respect, proverbs left by our ancestors have played a great role in our construction.
