The house is where our body and mind rest, and it plays an important role in our lives.
For rural people, building a house is also a very important thing. I hope that everything will go well and their life will get better and better after living in the new house.
For this reason, before building a house, a plan will be made for the orientation, layout, and start date of the house.
In addition, you will also learn about the taboos about building a house, and be careful not to violate them.
So when building a house, what does it mean to "set the front but not the back"? This sentence is said slightly differently in different places.
In rural areas, building a house is a big deal. According to the old tradition, before building a house, you need to find a Feng Shui master to check the Feng Shui of the foundation, determine the time to start construction, and plan the orientation of the door. Because many farmers believe that these are closely related to their own destiny and the fortune of their families.
In addition, rural houses are not a generational thing. Normally, after a house is built, it may be lived in for several generations, and eventually it becomes an ancestral home. Just like Mr. Zhicha’s hometown, although it is a remote mountain village in the Dabie Mountains, there are still old houses that have survived hundreds of years of wind and rain. For a house like this, the first step is to choose a good foundation, followed by building materials and maintenance. Otherwise, it would not last for so many years.
Precisely because a house will be lived in for several generations, you must be more cautious. Sometimes when choosing a foundation, you are not familiar with the underground conditions, or the foundation is not solidly laid, and you can’t see any problems at first. But over time, ten or twenty years, or even longer, you will encounter rain erosion, Surface subsidence or underground movement, fault dislocation, etc. may cause tilt cracks or collapse accidents. Therefore, if the foundation is not chosen well and unfortunately it is built on a fault, it will affect future generations.
One potential danger of building a house on a fault is that the fault zone is prone to earthquakes. The editor learned from the information that "earthquakes are the result of material movement within the earth. This movement is reflected on the earth's crust, causing ruptures in the earth's crust and promoting the generation, development and activity of faults." There is a jargon called " If there are earthquakes, there must be faults, and if there are faults, there must be earthquakes." Fault activity induces earthquakes, and earthquakes promote the generation and development of faults. Therefore, earthquakes and faults are closely related. It can be seen that building houses on fault zones is very dangerous.
