Chinese culture is extensive and profound, has a long history, and encompasses thousands of things. One of its branches is the common saying. Common sayings are easy to understand and concise. Many common sayings have been passed down orally from generation to generation and have been passed down to this day. Common sayings are also people's observations and summaries of daily production and life. They are based on life and have an impact on life. They cover an extremely wide range of areas and fields. There are some common sayings about the layout of houses. For example, the sentence we are going to talk about today - "With two doors in a house, it is difficult to save people and money." What does it mean? Does it make sense?
The construction of gates is very important in people's eyes. In ancient times, wealthy families would build their gates in a grand manner and considered them "facade". Therefore, some idioms were derived, such as famous family, high-ranking family, well-matched family, etc.
Feng shui is a folk knowledge with a long history. Feng shui is divided into Yangzhai Fengshui and Yinzhai Fengshui. Yangzhai Fengshui involves many aspects such as the site selection, construction and layout of the house, and the gate A building is considered to be a channel for attracting wealth and blessings, and for storing wind and energy. If a house has two doors, it will not be conducive to preventing wind and gathering energy, which is what people call "cannot hold wealth." In addition, if a house has two doors, it is believed that it will cause the aura to be dispersed.
Ancient buildings are "one door and one household", which is what people call a portal. You can open a side door or a "two doors" (i.e. the common ' hanging flower door ' in courtyard houses), but there is only one door.
In traditional customs, the gate plays a very important role. For example, ceremonies such as the introduction of a new daughter-in-law, worshiping ancestors, welcoming imperial edicts, etc. all have to pass through the gate. If a household has two gates, when these ceremonies are held, if there are two gates, it will cause trouble in the choice. In addition, people will place door gods on their doors, one for each household. If there are two doors, it will also cause confusion.
In many places, it is believed that the front door represents the elders of the family. If "one household opens two doors", it is considered to be indifferent and disrespectful to the elder and the younger. In the eyes of others, "one household opens two doors" means that the family members go their own ways, which has the implication of "separating the family."
When a house owner welcomes guests, he brings them in through the front door. If there are "two doors in one house", which one is the official "front door"? If it is "one house with two doors", no matter which door you use, it will be considered disrespectful to visitors.
As we all know, people like to build their houses in a "north-facing-south" layout. There is a certain reason for this kind of house layout. From the perspective of lighting and cold protection of the house, it has its scientific and reasonable basis. The so-called north-facing south means placing the door on the south wall of the house. If it is "one house with two doors", it will increase the pressure on the south wall. In the absence of reinforced concrete in ancient times, the stability of the house will be greatly reduced.
summary:
and above, this is the explanation of "if a household has two doors, it will be difficult for people and money to survive". This proverb points out the uniqueness of the door. A household has one and only one door. This door serves as the main and most formal passage for people to enter and exit the Yangzhai. This common saying also warns people that in addition to the uniqueness of the door, it is also important. The door is not only a passage for people to enter and exit the house, but also a boundary that separates the house from the outside world. At the same time, the door is endowed with many important meanings, especially in ancient etiquette, with outstanding dedication.
