Feng Shui is the crystallization of wisdom accumulated by the Chinese nation for five thousand years. Some people may interpret Feng Shui as feudal superstition. But it is undeniable that after such a long period of training and testing, the meaning given to Feng Shui is no longer a feudal superstitious legend.

It is a systematic theory, in which there is still a lot of knowledge that is valuable for research, and there are also many places worthy of our attention and learning. In Feng Shui, it specifically mentions various things that people need to pay attention to in their daily lives, including the furnishings in their homes.

With thousands of years of history, our predecessors have left us this poem: "If you want to be rich at home, put four things in the house." What are the four things in this poem, and what is hidden behind them? What about secrets and mysteries? Let’s talk about this topic today.

is a mascot and a daily necessities, but it has been forgotten by modern people.

This first thing is very common in our lives, but few people pay attention to it. People only occasionally notice it on specific occasions. This thing is a gourd. . In rural areas, gourds are the most common daily utensils and are usually used as kettles.

This object can also be split in half from the middle and used as a water ladle. It is this very simple use that makes the gourd's value become very low, and also makes people gradually forget the beautiful meaning of the gourd itself.

In ancient times, the pronunciation of gourd was similar to Fulu, and it was an auspicious object that symbolized good luck. We can now see that the royal nobles in ancient legends usually carried a gourd with them when they traveled, which was not only used for Holding water also means peace and success.

Similarly, in order to highlight the blessings and fortune of gourds, when craftsmen in ancient times painted portraits of gods, they would also paint gourds as elements of fortune and fortune into their works. Nowadays, gourds are no longer used as tools in modern people’s lives.

However, we can still see the shadow of many gourds in our lives. In order to pray for wealth and fortune in their homes, many people still use gourds as house decorations and place them in conspicuous places in their homes to show their beautiful meaning.

Nowadays, productivity has been greatly enhanced, and the ability to make handicrafts has also increased. The gourds made no longer look like huge water scoops in the past, but have become petite and suitable for playing with.

Therefore, modern people also carry the shrunken gourd with them in order to bless their lives with good fortune and smooth sailing. It can be seen that everyone has a beautiful yearning for the future life.

What is considered dangerous today was once a mascot?

The second item was known as the treasure of the house in ancient times. It was admired and pursued by everyone, and was even regarded as an auspicious omen. But now it is not so auspicious, and even has the connotation of disaster. This item is the bat.

In the cultural concepts of ancient people, the status of bats is no lower than that of Chunyan. We know that spring swallows building nests under the eaves have always been considered by us to be a symbol of blessing. It is a kind soul who has chosen our house as its own residence and will bless the family who built the nest.

In comparison, as long as a bat flies into people's homes, it will be considered a symbol of the arrival of good fortune. Because the word "bat" is homophonic to the word "blessing", so in ancient times, when bats flew into the room, people would not be as nervous as we usually are. Drive the bats away.

The ancients always prayed for bats to stay in their homes for a while, so that their happiness would last longer. Even in some ancient pavilions and pavilions with carved beams and paintings, you can see pictures of bats on the beams.

Nowadays, scientific research shows that there are many viruses in bats. If you are accidentally scratched by a bat, your life may be in danger. Therefore, modern people are afraid of living bats.

But this cannot stop the respect for bats in Chinese culture. Since living bats are in danger, people visualize bats and turn them into patterns to decorate their homes. They still take the beautiful meaning of happiness and bless their mansions.,

Although bats no longer fly into modern people's homes, the beautiful meaning symbolized by bats is still retained in modern people's living habits and has been continued by us, but few people know it.

A symbol of nature! This thing has always been worshiped by us!

The third item that symbolizes good luck is also very common in our lives, and it has been passed down as a symbol of good luck to this day. Modern people also use this element to give their homes a happy meaning. This thing is the deer that everyone loves.

In ancient times, deer were usually considered to be a symbol of agility. As the most dexterous creature that shuttles through the forest, people would be unconsciously attracted to the deer's dexterous figure after meeting it. Over time, they evolved to become obsessed with deer. of worship.

In essence, the worship of deer is a concrete expression of the worship of nature. While worshiping the deer god, people will also show their respect for nature. As time goes by, the deer becomes nature. As a symbol of human protection, it was honored by the ancients.

After urbanization, humans can no longer see deer appearing in their lives, so they make the image of this beautiful creature into various decorations and ornaments to decorate their homes and worship the god of nature. Able to protect one's home.

Therefore, it is easy for us to see some deer ornaments in modern people's homes. In addition to decorating the room and bringing beauty, these ornaments also show respect for nature. We pray that the nature represented by the deer can protect our homes and keep them in good weather. , extremely peaceful.

How did the mythical beasts in mythical stories become the treasures of our homes?

The fourth kind of auspicious object is the most common in our lives, and it is also an object that we modern people have always kept at home as a treasure of the house. Speaking of which, almost everyone does not know the meaning of this object, which is the golden toad.

For modern people, it is very common for the golden toad to be placed at home as a mascot. Among the tea sets we use daily, there is a golden toad for pouring water. In addition to being beautiful, the golden toad also has What does it mean?

In ancient mythology, Golden Toad was originally a god in the sky, enjoying the glory and wealth of the fairy world, being served by good wine and food, and living a very nourishing life. However, Jin Chan did not feel happy in this luxurious life, but felt extremely boring.

So, it secretly descended to the mortal world. The golden toad did not eat the fireworks of the mortal world for the first time, and caused a lot of troubles in the mortal world. Finally, it was captured by the heaven and punished by having one of its legs chopped off.

Knowing that he had caused great trouble, the Golden Toad gave up the superior life in the fairy world and voluntarily came to the human world to help and bless people in the world. From then on, the Golden Toad became a mascot for seeking protection and help in the world.

It was also because the golden toad had one of its legs chopped off after the rebellion, so the golden toad decorations we see today are all three-legged. This is also a tradition left over from ancient times. The tradition of the golden toad being regarded as the guardian animal of the human world has been passed down to this day.

Nowadays, with the development of productivity, people have made them into sophisticated decorations and placed them at the entrances of their homes to ward off evil and protect their homes, expressing the people's hope for a better life.

These four mascots have been passed down to this day, all of which reflect the wisdom of the ancients and the long history of Chinese culture. Among them, the yearning for beautiful things and the sustenance for a happy life continue to this day.
