In rural areas, there are many rules for building your own house, not only to live comfortably, but also to pay attention to feng shui and the like.
This is because they think that the house can determine the fortune and population of the family.
For example, the orientation and direction of the house, etc., Mr. Feng Shui is usually invited to have a look and let him decide how to build the house.
First, money doesn't live in the east wing.
In this proverb, the east wing comes from the pocket room, which refers to the house with the main room as the top. Two wings are built on both sides of the main room, which looks like a big pocket, and the door is like the mouth of this pocket. Together, the two wings and the main room look like a big pocket, so it is called the pocket room.
This kind of pocket room style is very common in rural areas, and this layout is also very reasonable.
Although this pocket room has two wings, the east wing is a room that the villagers think is not suitable for living. Why? Is there any other explanation?
Comparing the East Wing with the main wing, the East Wing is far less than the main wing. The main house is warm in winter and cool in summer all year round, while the east wing is very cold in winter and very hot in summer, which is also the reason why the villagers think that the east wing is not suitable for living.
In the previous farming era, a family's most precious wealth was grain, and after harvesting, villagers usually put the grain in the east and west wings, because it was not suitable for living, and if they did not put grain, it would lead to great waste.
In fact, in the past, the East Wing had another function: it can be seen whether the children in this family are filial.
Because in the past, if the family had a large population and limited rooms, some unfilial children would arrange for their parents to live in the east wing. As mentioned earlier, the east wing is far less than the first wing, so it can be seen that their children are very unfilial.
Second, if you have no money, don't ask your family for help.
It is common not to ask her for help if you have no money, no matter in the past or now.
In fact, I think, not only can't you ask your family for help, but your relatives here sometimes have to look at the situation, because some brothers are not so friendly, and some can even be described as nervous, so if you go to your relatives in this situation, they will not help you, and may even laugh at you.
As for her home, it may be because she has backbone that she is embarrassed to look for it.
Because as a man, if I don't have the ability to ask my wife's relatives for help, I will definitely feel very timid, and sometimes I may make my wife feel embarrassed.
Sometimes relatives may not be as friendly as friends outside. If you are in trouble, go to your relatives, who may give you all kinds of excuses. If you go to a friend, a friend may help you.
Summary:
I believe that after reading the above, everyone has a certain understanding of the sentence "You can't live in the east wing if you have money, and you can't ask your parents for help if you have no money".
Finally, I hope everyone will honor their parents now, and wish the dutiful sons in the world a rich source of money and a safe life.
