"The white tiger covers the dragon and the phoenix, and some people are poor." Is it true or not?

The countryside is the source of civilization development. Perhaps the farmers' cultural level is not high, but there are some cultural essences passed down, which are of great reference significance. Generally speaking, most experiences, conclusions and warnings will be circulated in the form of proverbs and nursery rhymes. It is such an old saying that "white tigers cover dragons, and people are poor."

Friends who are interested in China's ancient culture and history know that abstract or real animals such as dragons, phoenixes and tigers were endowed with mysterious and awe-inspiring cultural colors by our ancestors. It is often said that we are descendants of the dragon, and we should have the spirit of dragon and tiger ... Qinglong and Baihu are both big names in their respective fields and symbols of strength and authority. So can they be born? Of course, it is also possible. Our ancestors had a profound understanding of the coordination of yin and yang in the world. Someone should have heard of the saying that "left green dragon, right white tiger". In fact, the ancient architectural forms in China were laid out according to this "law". Qinglong wants to move, on the left; The white tiger is quiet, on the right.

? 1. About "White Tiger Covers Qinglong"

Housing construction pays attention to good terrain, solid structure and beautiful layout, with the aim of living comfortably and not being depressed. There are similar experiences in the field of ancient architecture, among which the most influential is the architectural style "Water Morphology" founded by Yang, a water master in the late Tang Dynasty, which systematically optimizes and strengthens the Eight Diagrams and Yin and Yang instruments. The ancients demanded that the building should be smooth and smooth, and the living should be "smooth".

According to the Book of Changes, "Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four images, and four images give birth to eight diagrams". The site selection, orientation and construction of buildings have always followed this principle. So what kind of architectural style does "White Tiger Covers Qinglong" refer to? In fact, the roof on the right side of the main house is higher than the house on the left, which creates shade and wind protection. The poor permeability of the house may have a certain "stress reaction" on people's psychology and body, which will affect their mood or personality and is not conducive to personality development.

Another point that is easily overlooked is the terrain of the house location. The master who has been engaged in the construction industry for a long time may know that the Qinglong position is one foot higher than the Baihu position, and will remind the owners that this is professional ethics in actual operation. However, in addition to paying attention to the height of walls and ceilings, there are also requirements for the height of the terrain. Similarly, it is necessary to find out whether there are green dragons and white tigers. If there are both, it is planned according to the fact that Qinglong is higher than Baihu. Personal understanding is mainly to ensure a solid foundation and improve the ability to resist natural disasters, and it is necessary to do a good job in survey and calculation according to crustal movement and geological structure.

? 2. About "Some people have been poor for generations"

This second half sentence is both a true proposition and a false proposition, and its literal meaning is easy to understand. I am a rural person, many rural families are so "poor for generations", but some are rich; The understanding of "difference" and "not bad" in each period is not necessarily the same, and there is no standard. Will housing construction lead to poverty among residents? Of course, it is difficult to establish. If you are really poor, you may not be able to afford to build a house. It is obviously not feasible to rely too much on the style of the house to change the status quo of the rich and the poor. Every region, every family and even everyone can have a gap between the rich and the poor at different times; There is always a generation that is poor. To realize the dream of getting rich, we must work hard and give full play to our subjective initiative, so that we can really get rich.
