Whether it was a poor or rich family, it was extremely important in the eyes of the ancient people to invite a Feng Shui master to look at the place of Feng Shui.

If the feng shui of the lot where people lived was not good, then they would be sick and suffer a lot.

If the graves built for their ancestors when they died did not occupy a feng shui place, then the ancestors were not doing well in the netherworld, and it would be difficult for people to get their ancestors to bless them with promotion and wealth.

While people believe in science in the 21st century, some of the more famous ancient sayings are still being passed down today.

What is the meaning of the saying, "The family opens the Qinglongmen Mountain and races past the ancestors' graves"?

First of all, "Qinglongmen" has the word "door", which is not difficult to explain, it is the door that people install when they build houses. It was the gate that people installed when they built their houses.

The Qinglong Dragon refers to the direction in which the gate was installed, and people in ancient times called the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu the four sacred beasts of ancient times.

The orientation represented by these four divine beasts is different.

The Green Dragon represents the east, the White Tiger represents the west, the Xuanwu represents the north, and the Vermilion Bird represents the south.

Anciently, the emperor lived in the palace, people often hear the Qinglongmen, Xuanwumen and so on.

The TV recognizes doors of various directions according to these ways.

Without explaining Qinglong as a direction, most people would mistake Qinglong for some pattern.

The Qinglong Dragon, on the other hand, is a pattern of green dragons carved into the gate.

In the ancient period, people pay attention to feng shui, when installing the gate, the direction of the gate is y concerned, must be based on feng shui.

Not only that, they were not allowed to have any patterns on the gates they installed in their homes.

Having more patterns on the gate would be called a temple by people.

Only the doors and windows of the temples would have too much copy on them, and the ancient people said that the gates installed on the houses would only need to be painted over with auspicious colors.

When installing gates, ancient people said that in addition to the direction of the gate, the height at which the gate stood must be higher than the fence on the side.

The fence on both sides of the gate must be the same height, otherwise it will bring disadvantage to the family.

Ancient people pay great attention to feng shui, people will be installed in the gate towards the east, according to the phenomenon of the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, people can open the gate every day to usher in the sunrise which is an auspicious thing.

The rising sun means hope, not only that, the gate will be installed in the direction of the east, every time the sun rises, people will be able to see it full of hope, the scenery is very beautiful.

People are in a good mood in the morning, and all the things they accomplish in the day go more smoothly.

What people call "Qinglongmenmen" is the gate facing east.

The meaning of "ancestors' grave"

In this proverb, the ancestors' grave is not difficult to understand.

Because people in ancient times were concerned about feng shui, they believed that when an ancestor passed away, they asked a feng shui master to come and see a piece of feng shui land.

As long as the location was well occupied and the ancestors lived comfortably, the ancestors would bless future generations with promotion and wealth.

So it seems that the feng shui treasure place where the ancestors were buried was extremely important to the ancient people.

Until the 21st century, some earth-buried peoples still retain the custom of reading feng shui.

They would ask a feng shui master to go to the mountains with a building to measure a piece of feng shui land in the hope that even after their ancestors passed away and became immortals they would be able to shelter themselves, so that they and their descendants would be promoted and become rich.

This is why it's so important to have a good feng shui master who can help you to find a place to live and work in the mountains.

The first half of the sentence is about the importance of the door's installation location, while the second half of the sentence is about the ancestors' graves, which is used to emphasize the importance of the Qinglongmen Dragon Gate.

When people in ancient times saw someone in their family pass the examination and become a big official, they would say that the person's ancestral grave was smoking, and it was a good blessing from the ancestors.

If a person did something wrong, as a punishment, some officials would choose to throw away the culprit's ancestral tomb.

In ancient times, it was considered a punishment to dig up the ancestral graves of those who committed crimes.

For the ancient people, the ancestors' graves were built in a feng shui place, the ancestors will definitely bless the future generations to be promoted and become rich, and the location after burial is not allowed to be changed.

The digging and moving of an ancestor's grave indicates the ungratefulness of the descendants.

So in the eyes of the ancients, ancestral graves were extremely important.

Understanding the meanings of Qinglongmen and ancestors' graves, and looking at a sentence side by side, you will realize that ancient people regarded the orientation of the gate as extremely important.

Nowadays, when people are building houses, which direction the gate should be facing is still a matter of concern and should not be ignored.

Summary:

"Home open Qinglongmenmen, more than the ancestors' graves", this proverb shows the great wisdom of our ancestors.

People in ancient times believed in superstition, so the construction of houses and the burial of the dead are concerned about feng shui.

Till the 21st century, there are still a lot of feng shui masters in our country, and they still look for a feng shui master to measure the feng shui location for building houses and downloading the directions of the dead.

Of course, there are people who advocate science, do not believe in superstition, but for the ancestors left behind some of the customs, the descendants will still be in accordance with the ancestors of the sub-formula to complete.
