Looking at the thousands of years of history in our country, you will find that no matter what the Chinese people do, they have corresponding common sayings. These common sayings are not only catchy to read, but also have a particularly profound meaning. And there are many common sayings that are still well-known in this era and are used in real life.
The common saying we are going to talk about in this article today is that there are common sayings about houses. You should know that the construction of housing has always been a very important matter. There are various statements in terms of selection of houses, orientation, and design and decoration. Of course, there are different sayings in different regions. Today, let’s learn about the meaning of the saying “I would rather live in a first house than a exposed elbow house”.
To figure out the meaning of this common saying, you must first understand the meaning of the vocabulary in this common saying. What are overhead houses and elbow houses?
"Overhead House" three explanations
The statement about overhead House has different explanations in different regions. The first meaning is that because the main house is too high, it blocks the sunlight, so that the courtyard or other houses cannot shine on the sun. Such a main house is an oversized house. Overhead houses like
are not advocated by people because no matter what kind of house it is, they basically pay attention to the saying of facing south. However, if the house is too high, so that there is no sunshine in other places and is in a cold and humid state all year round, this will also lead to the growth of bacteria, which will endanger people's health.
In addition, for houses like Siheyuan, there are people living in every house. But if someone lives in a tall house and someone lives in a short house, it will give outsiders a feeling that they are not a family. So such a top-notch house is also a bad symbol.
, but the second explanation of "going to the top" is exactly the opposite of what is mentioned above. This second explanation clearly shows that a side house must be shorter than a main house. If it is higher than a main house, then such a side house is called an overhead house.
This belongs to a ritual system. In ancient times, the most important thing was to pay attention to the superiority of the legitimate and illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illeg No matter what, you cannot take your status seriously. You are shorter than your main house. This is the face of the main house and the face of a family.
The third explanation of overt house is relatively broad. The first two explanations refer to being in a home, and this explanation is in all the houses living around. As the saying goes, "A gun hits the first bird", this over-the-top house is equivalent to a first bird. Among the houses where everyone lives, most people think that the house should be the same height. If some people's houses are taller than others, such a house is called a top house, and it is easy to find such a house because it is conspicuous.
Two explanations of "Exposed Elbow House"
After understanding the meaning of the overhead house, let’s take a look at what the saying of Exposed Elbow House looks like? There are two different opinions about the elbow room, so let’s learn about it separately.
The first statement is that the elbow is equivalent to the four corners of the house. If any of these four corners is protruding and like a human elbow, it is called a elbow room.
The second statement is that the elbow is equivalent to the back wall of the house. If the back wall of the side house extends more outward than the back wall of the main house, then this is also called the exposed elbow house. In ancient times, such construction had a bad meaning. The best way to build should be to have the back wall of the side house be a little closer, and at most it is justified on the same level.
In fact, these two statements about the elbow-exposed house have no practical and bad meaning. But it contains a concept that people have thought of buildings for thousands of years. In stereotype , standardized houses have already explained how to build them. If you don’t follow the rules, you will express a bad meaning.
"I would rather live in the first house than the exposed elbow house"
After understanding the meaning of these two words, you will be able to understand the meaning of this common saying.So, both of these houses are bad houses, but why don’t you live in a first house even if you live in a first house? Is it better to have an elbow-exposed house than a top-end house?
This is because the overhead house affects most of the elderly and children, while the exposed elbow house affects the men at home. We all know that in ancient times, men's status in the family was supreme, so things that were not good for men were naturally a big deal.
There are two other sentences about ancient Feng Shui saying, "This house is called the top house, with two surnames in front and lower back" and "Where there is a house with exposed elbows, the house will not be prosperous. People in Yang frequently slept, and the eldest son will also sleep in the room."
So living in a overhead house is just considered to be a family of two families, and the elderly and children have a disease that is not very serious. But living in a exposed elbow house will lead to the family's infancy. It will make the men in the family have no blessings. Therefore, the exposed elbow house is even more disgusted by people.
To sum up, this is the meaning of this common saying. Among them, most of this statement affects people's hearts and has no substantial disadvantages. As long as we are not led by this statement, the over-the-top houses, exposed elbow houses, etc. are just houses.
