It is actually a folk superstition to pay attention to "the height in the east is not high and the waist is broken in the west" in rural housing construction. The old people explained that the East is a lucky god, the West is a fierce tiger, and the East is big. Qinglong has to surrender to the white tiger to bring good luck, so the house in the east is better. It is this creed that makes the old people pay great attention to their neighbors' houses. The eaves in the west are a little high, and I can't wait to "come into the house and uncover the tiles."
Most rural people will discuss with their neighbors when building houses, because if the east side is high and the east side is high, the pattern of houses in the village will be chaotic. All the houses are generally high, and the neighbors will be harmonious. With the development of the times, the pattern of houses will not remain unchanged forever. Even if the new house in the west is a little high, the old house in the east is built on the eaves with several rows of bricks, symbolically maintaining the overall pattern.
Now that the living conditions in the countryside are better, many two-story and three-story houses have been built, and the old people have gradually accepted the comparison of houses on the same floor. With the unified planning and construction of the new countryside, the ancient custom of "the height in the east is not high, but the height in the west is broken" has gradually faded out of the minds of rural people.
What do you mean, "the east is not high, but the west is broken"? This sentence is about building houses in rural areas.
