From ancient times to the present, many people agree with the theory of Feng Shui, especially those with prominent families, who often look for people who understand Feng Shui to help them understand one thing before making a decision.
In ancient times, people had a very systematic funeral culture, and there were many rules for funerals. Many common sayings were left behind, but many people listened to them and few understood what they meant. For example: "A person will build another grave after five generations, and a house will leave after three generations." What does it mean? Many people don't know.
Ancients believed that the tombs of ancestors were related to their descendants. Due to the influence of ancient traditional ideas, the ancients felt that the direction of the tombs, etc. were also related to Feng Shui.
From the literal meaning, "A man has raised another tomb after five generations", that is, if the graves of the ancestors of the Five Generations are established in this cemetery, it is necessary to seek another place to resettle the tomb. But in fact, the meaning of this sentence is not that simple.
As we all know, our country attaches great importance to family culture, especially in ancient times, some large families even had ancestral temples to worship their ancestors. In addition, there are rules such as family precepts and the arrangement of names of descendants.
Although people today have extended their lives than the ancients, there are still very few families that can reach four generations of living together. If it were in ancient times, the average life expectancy of the ancients was basically around 30 years old. Not to mention four generations of living together, even three generations of living together are rare.
However, under the inheritance of family culture, the ancients of the big family would enshrine their ancestors in the ancestral hall, and they would always have incense. However, the ancients believed that the ancestors and ancestors only blessed the descendants of the Five Generations at most. If they continue further, they will become distant relatives. People like the ones who have never seen them before, so there is no need to worship incense.
Furthermore, some descendants will not stay in the same place to reproduce. Sometimes they choose to move to other places to settle down due to family needs or career rush, so they slowly cut off contact with their ancestors. Although fallen leaves return to their roots, sometimes they choose to be buried locally due to long distances and other reasons.
So what does "the house will leave after three generations" mean? Throughout history, home has been the most important place in people's hearts. When we are frustrated, if we have home, we will have a warm harbor.
In ancient times, the ancients also valued family very much, and many families lived in the same place for generations. But why did the ancients say, "After three generations, people will leave?" In fact, this is the experience of the ancients.
In ancient times, except for those ancient people with good family backgrounds, ordinary people live in houses that are not solid. Some generations have been farmers or poor people, and their places of residence are naturally not as good as those of the wealthy families, so some poor families have aging problems.
So, after living in a house for three generations, it is best not to live in it again. In addition, build a house or rebuild a new house, so as to avoid the aging of the house and avoid the risk of collapse.
Back to modern times, there are still many people in our lives following the funeral culture passed down from ancient times, especially in rural areas. Although the common sayings passed down by ancient people have certain truths, we cannot blindly believe them. We must also have our own cognition and judgment. What do you think?
