These proverbs actually have certain scientific basis. Although the ancient ancestors in rural areas did not understand science, they accumulated experience from generation to generation and then reached a conclusion. Of course, these conclusions may not be amplified by ordinary words, but give mysterious colors to words and mythical experiences, which will make them more mysterious and convincing.
As the saying goes? Would you rather let the dragon fly high than the white tiger look up? , what does this mean? On the surface, this sentence may be related to some fairy tales, because there are dragons and white tigers on it. Although the white tiger exists, the green dragon is something in modern mythology.
Therefore, according to this sentence, we may think that the meaning of this sentence is that the Qinglong can take off, but the white tiger cannot rise. In fact, the true meaning of this sentence is not what we guessed.
As the saying goes? Would you rather let the dragon fly high than the white tiger look up? Its real meaning does not refer to the green dragon and white tiger, but to houses in general, that is, to build houses. Tsing lung and white tiger are also used to describe the location of the house.
Generally we say, Zuo Qinglong, you white tiger. So in housing, the left side of the house is like a dragon, and the right side is like a white tiger. If you build a house, you are in the middle.
Let the dragon soar, it is better to let the white tiger look up, which means that the dragon, that is, the house on the left, is taller than its own house, and the white tiger, that is, the house on the right, is taller than itself.
So, why? They are all houses. Why is the gap so big? The left side can be much taller than yourself, but the right side can't be taller?
In fact, there is a reason for this, because when building a house in the countryside, we will attach great importance to the location and orientation of the house, so generally the house faces south.
Because sitting in a house facing south, the lighting is very good, but if you build a house, the house on the right is higher than your own, and there is no sunshine at sunrise, the lighting of the whole house will be affected, which will make the house look damp and dark. However, if the room is not well lit for a long time and the environment is humid, then people will easily get sick, which is not good for their health.
And if the house on the right is taller than your own house, it won't affect the house at sunrise and the lighting of your home.
So, the rural proverb will say? Would you rather let the dragon fly high than the white tiger look up? . Although this proverb is literally a myth, its true meaning is indeed scientific.
Therefore, in our own countryside, we see many self-built houses, which are generally about the same height, and there will be no one much higher than one. Even if it is high, most of it can be high on the left and not on the right. Because it will affect the lighting of other people's homes.
