From ancient times to the present, building a house and getting married are major events in life. With a wife and a house, this is what it means to have a home.
Oncestors believed that the door of a house is a gathering place for wealth and blessings, so the construction of the door is very particular. Whether it is in the direction, size, or even decoration must be followed, otherwise it will bring disadvantages to the owner and lose all wealth and blessings.
To put it more bluntly, our ancestors regarded the gate as the source of good and bad fortune. We had to rely on this gate to a large extent.
Therefore, we will find that there are many common sayings about the gate circulating among the people, one of which says: "There are 4 rushes at the door, and the poor family will not prosper." The meaning of the sentence
is not difficult to understand. It means that if there is such a "4-stroke" at the gate, everything will go wrong in the family and worry one after another. Even the house has an unlucky atmosphere.
So the question is, what exactly does the "4-rush" mean by the ancestors? Is this sentence reasonable?
"First rush" refers to: a straight big path rushed straight to the gate. There is a saying in rural areas like this: "If you want to be rich, build roads first."
With a spacious road, grain can be transported easily. With the developed transportation, more merchants will be able to purchase and farmers can make more money.
In ancient times, transportation tools were very simple and were transported by livestock. But now it’s different. They are transported by cars, and the noise and dust caused by this are really unbearable. This is not the most important thing. When encountering a driver with poor skills, he may drive the car directly into his home, and life safety and property safety are difficult to ensure.
Based on this, opening the door is a straight road, which is very bad. In the eyes of our ancestors, this is a taboo. This is a typical "road arrow evil", which is an unlucky representative.
"Second rush" refers to: opening the door is a big tree. The gate is facing a big tree. It is good to enjoy the cool air in summer and can block strong winds in winter. Logically speaking, this should be a good thing.
is not the case, the gate is facing the big tree. Although you can enjoy the cool summer, it is more of a disadvantage. The big tree itself will attract a lot of mosquitoes to gather. Because it grows tall, the root system will be very developed, which will destroy the foundation of the house that is not deep. The lush trees will block most of the vision, causing poor lighting in the house.
Living in such an environment is very bad for people's physical health. Because of poor lighting, it is dark and humid all year round, which will breed a lot of bacteria and also give people a depressing life atmosphere. Over time, it will naturally cause a very bad impact.
"Third rush" refers to: a pool of stagnant water facing in front of the door. The stagnant water here can be a small pond or any slightly larger puddle. Such a stagnant water pool faces the gate, which has a great impact.
For parents with children at home, they often have a heart hanging because children do not have a sense of safety and may drown in the pond if they are not careful.
Not only that, once it is hot summer, because the water source does not flow, many bacteria will grow inside and there will be a pungent smell. This will seriously affect the normal life of the homeowner. Over time, it will definitely affect your health.
"Fourth rush" refers to something with the door facing the animal's head or sharp edges on the roof. When the ancestors built houses, they all liked to perform some artistic processing, which not only looked beautiful, but also had many ancient priorities, such as the common " Five Elements Theory ", "Yin and Yang Theory", "Feng Shui Theory", etc., plus the theories of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches , forming a very large and profound science.
When the door is facing the head or some sharp edges of the roof, it will be considered that the fortune and wealth of the family will be damaged by the "evil energy", which is naturally undesirable. Going for good and avoiding bad luck is the nature of human beings.The yearning for a better life and the avoidance of disasters are all reasonable things.
Conclusion
The common saying "There are 4 rushes at the door, and the poor family is not prosperous." In the "4 rushes" refer to a straight big path that rushed straight to the door. When you open the door, you will see a big tree. In front of the door, facing a pool of stagnant water, and the door faces the beast's head or sharp edges on the roof.
Among many common sayings, this is the most common exaggeration method, the purpose is to exaggerate the results to achieve a warning effect. From a scientific perspective, this sentence has no basis and is unreliable.
But in the era when our ancestors lived, the material living conditions were limited, and science, technology and cognition were also limited. The yearning for a better life can only be based on these spiritual worlds, so these warning common sayings were born.
Although this "4-stroke" has no direct relationship with the family's economic conditions, the security issues mentioned in the article do exist. Therefore, among the old sayings said by our ancestors, we can extract many valuable things. Taking the essence and removing the dross is the most appropriate way to absorb traditional culture.
