It is just a common saying, but it contains the wisdom and life philosophy of the ancients.
Under normal circumstances, a common saying can express at least two meanings: the literal meaning and the implicit meaning. The life experiences shared by the ancients here are very practical.
For example, this sentence: "If you don't put three things in the living room, you can't see three images on the bedside." It talks about daily life. There are two core keywords in it: "three things" and "three images". Do you know what they specifically refer to? Does what our ancestors said make sense?
Without further ado, let’s get straight to the point. The first half of the sentence talks about not placing the following three things in the living room.
The first thing that cannot be placed in the living room is: portraits of deceased persons. Although has inherited "filial piety" from ancient times to the present, it is a culture and a spirit. But it is really not good to hang a portrait in the living room.
There are two reasons. First, if the portrait is hung in the living room, the atmosphere in the entire home will become extremely serious, and living in such an environment will feel very depressing. Over time, it will affect your health.
Secondly, because the portraits are all in black and white, coupled with the lighting problem in the room, for children, this will be a kind of childhood shadow, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of the next generation.
In addition, it is also not good for friends and family to visit your home. Seeing a solemn portrait can make conversations very awkward, and it can also affect conversations and feelings between each other. Because of this incident, there may be no guests at home in the future.
The second thing that cannot be placed in the living room is: fierce wall charts and plants with thorns. This is actually easy to understand. There is a lot of time for activities in the living room, looking at pictures of beasts all day long, and there are a bunch of dangerous plants. It is unsafe especially for children and the elderly. It will not only be mentally stimulating, but also bring physical danger factors.
The third thing that cannot be placed in the living room is: umbrella. The term actually has some old ideas in it, and it can be regarded as a cultural factor spread among the people.
The ancestors connected "umbrella" and "san" and thought this had a bad connotation, just like the mulberry of mulberry tree is homophonic to "mourning". No one planted mulberry trees in the yard, even if mulberries were delicious, that would not work.
Next, let's take a look at the second half of the sentence "There are no three images on the bedside." The "three images" here also have special meanings.
The first image refers to: "Fire". The reason why is added with quotation marks and is because it contains two meanings. The first meaning is of course the literal meaning. There should be no fire at the bedside. This can easily lead to fires and have a great impact on the safety of life and property. The second layer of
means: red things cannot appear. This is because the ancients believed that the head is very important when sleeping. Because the head belongs to Yang in the body part and is the fire of the sun, the color of fire is naturally red. Therefore, it is best not to have red objects on the bedside, which will cause the situation to become more irritating and pose a threat to health.
The second image refers to: mirror. is actually very easy to understand. People can easily become confused while sleeping. If they suddenly open their eyes and see something in the mirror, they will be subconsciously frightened. In severe cases, it will cause mental illness. This is very bad.
The third image refers to: dirty things that are easy to breed bacteria . mainly talks about personal hygiene habits. Not to mention in ancient times, even now, who can tolerate the constant presence of dirty things in this special position at the head of the bed? Not only does it affect your mood;
After all, the bedside is where the head is, and inhalation and exhalation will be at this position. Even if there is dirt on the opposite side of the wall, it will not work. For example, behind the wall are garbage dumps and toilets, which will affect your health. This rarely happens in urban communities, but in old rural houses, the probability of it happening is very high.
Conclusion
I believe everyone has a new understanding of the saying "If you don't put three things in the living room, you won't see three things by the bedside". These life experiences mentioned by our ancestors are actually very practical nowadays.
The living room and bedroom are the two places where we spend the most time. These things must maintain a relaxed and happy mood, and they must be clean and hygienic. In this way, you can provide yourself, your family, and even guests at home with a comfortable environment, and at the same time maintain a healthy mood and body.
