There are many things to pay attention to when building a house in rural areas, especially the land edge and Feng Shui issues. Neighbors dispute over some land issues, which leads to conflicts between the two parties and affects neighbor relations. In addition to these minor problems, we also noticed that some self-built houses in rural areas do not have windows at the back. Why is this?
First of all, this is also a matter of debate between neighbors. In rural areas, households are basically next to each other, and the front and back yards are also very common. If there are windows on the back wall, the family behind or the family in front can see the neighbor's home, so the privacy between neighbors will be exposed.
Secondly, there is a folk saying that every household's wealth will come in through the front door. If there are windows on the back wall, it means that the wealth will flow out through the windows as soon as it comes in, which is not conducive to the family's wealth.
Then in a certain season, too many windows in the home also affect the thermal insulation effect. Although the conditions are better now, windows are generally sealed and will loosen over time. In this case, the thermal insulation effect will be very poor.
Finally, many of the rear windows are not soundproof. Talking at home is like talking outside, with no privacy at all. Although you can choose soundproof windows, there is always no soundproofing of solid walls.
The above analysis is the reason why rural houses are built without leaving rear windows. However, with the rapid development of society, these opinions have also changed. Having windows at the front and back also helps to ventilate the room and create a comfortable housing atmosphere for people. I wonder if in your hometown, rear windows are still left when building a house?
