Our ancestors are very wise. Some of the common sayings summarized are concise and word of mouth, but they reflect their practical life experience, which has benefited a lot from today's people, such as the following sentence: people have passed 5th generation , and a new grave will be set up after three generations, and a person will be left after three generations . Do you know what the meaning is? It sounds quite cruel.

is interpreted separately. People have raised graves after five generations, and the focus is on the five generations. To put it bluntly, it is the traditional clan relationship between us Chinese.

5 generations living together

According to the traditional ancestral system, our names are generally divided into nine generations, from "you" as the center, upward, your father, your grandfather, your great-grandfather, you have to call your grandfather; downward, you, your son, your great-grandson, and your great-grandson, any adjacent five generations are the five generations mentioned above.

The Chinese are not the most bloody family relationship. If the family is harmonious, everything will be prosperous. How could anyone say that "there is a new grave after five generations"? In plain language, if the family has more than five generations, or if the ordinary people have been tombs for five generations, the ancients would think that there is no need to continue to sacrifice, and future generations must set up another tomb for future generations to admire in order to continue to protect their descendants.

9 clans five-serge picture

This statement is also scientific, because in ancient times, such as medical conditions, war plagues, natural disasters and man-made disasters, etc., the situation where five generations are in the same family or five generations are in the same family. To be honest, there are not many.

In ancient times, it was a small peasant economy. Only by plowing the fields and plowing the land could the big problem of eating, which required a large amount of labor and more children. With generations of birth, male children were separated from their families and married women, and those who moved to other places in the imperial examinations and went out to work and do business, and those who were scattered and their offspring made a living, each of them took their own beaches, and their feelings became increasingly weak. I want to explain this, everyone has any feelings, right? The same is true in modern society. Not to mention that there are fewer exchanges in the five generations, I see that the generation has been separated from each other over time.

Sansu Temple

The ancients value blood ties more than us and have a stronger clan consciousness, but they use various etiquette and laws, sect law , folk customs are maintained, and there are no other branches, and the more they are divided. He can still keep moving within three generations, and his grandfathers and his fathers still know each other, but after three generations, it will not work. But in the fifth generation, it is a critical point, beyond that. Although his blood relationship is still there, it is almost the same as a stranger.

Take me as an example. My grandfather also has brothers, but my grandfather lives the longest. He often writes letters to his brothers in his hometown for five generations, and it has been hundreds of years since everyone is not so close, it is better to build another ancestral grave and reproduce a new lineage.

In addition, in ancient times, when people ruled the society, we often destroyed several clans after reading history books. After the Five Dynasties, a new clan was established. Even if it was a new clan, it would be possible to avoid disasters and avoid being beaten to continue the family incense.

For example, the most famous "release of military power with a glass of wine" in history, Zhao Kuangyin usurped Later Zhou Chai Rong's world, saying that he wanted to treat the descendants of the Chai family well. However, as a result, Chai Rong's seven sons, except for the eldest, second and third, were killed by Emperor Yin of the Later Han, and the sixth Chai Xijin Song Chu died inexplicably, the fifth chai Xirang and the seventh Chai Xihui are unknown, and they are likely to be killed by Zhao Song .

Little whirlwind Chai Jin

It was not until when Song Renzong that he slowly issued an edict to check the genealogy of the Chai family, and left the elderly in the rooms, and ordered him to worship the Later Zhou Dynasty at the age of 1.

So Chai Jin in "Water Margin" is simply impossible to be the direct descendant of the Later Zhou emperor. Chai Rong's branch should be the second generation. Although his bloodline was broken, Chai Jin was a side-line, and the bloodline of the Chai family could be broken. But if the Chai family lived in the Ming Dynasty, they would be destroyed at every turn by nine clans, 10 clans, and 3. Without five generations, the Chai family would be wiped out.

People have been in five generations to build another grave. After three generations, they must leave.

. Let’s take a look at the next sentence: After three generations, they must leave. .

This is very related to the obsession with the houses of Chinese people. There is a very interesting statement. Look at Chinese characters, a treasure veil means a house, and the mouth below means a population, and the word below is a character for field, which represents several acres of land. In ancient times, this was called enviable wealth.

Villages and community

So, from ancient times to the present, Chinese people have felt that only by owning their own house is truly their own home, and they feel at ease. However, I think the living conditions of the ancients are not as happy as we are. The quality of the house is not as good as today. There is no brick-concrete structure and , and there is no frame structure, but mainly wood, mud brick and thatch structure.

This leads to the fact that a whole family is crowded together to live together, one generation and two generations are OK. In the third generation, ordinary people have reached the third generation, and there are also decades when houses usually have safety problems, which is even more cramped. If you want to live in a house after three generations, it is not a problem that the space is really insufficient. It has become dilapidated, the dangerous house collapses, and the whole group is destroyed.

So, "A house must leave after three generations", one means to quickly build a new house, and repair it will not work. For safety and improve the living environment. Secondly, it is also to encourage descendants. Good men are determined to work hard, start a family and develop a family, and reproduce the population. Only by making contributions to society and family. Besides, if the family has more people, there will be more right and wrong and more conflicts. Once the gathering and breaking out, there will be big problems.

The most typical example is the ancient Emperor Shun, who lived under the same roof with his father, Yansou, stepmother, and half-brother. The conflict was very deep and he was almost done. Of course, he later made his past grudges, but who can achieve Shun's virtue?
