But in rural areas, it is very important for farmers to have a decent house. Ordinary farmers may build such houses once in their lifetime, at most twice.
Therefore, building a house was very particular in the past. When to start construction and when to transport the beam, we must choose a good day.
So what does this proverb mean? Let's talk about it in detail.
The door faces south, and the child is not cold? The meaning of.
Building a house is not so particular now. As long as there is a homestead, even if it is not square, the door may only face east or west. It doesn't matter, as long as it can build a house.
However, in ancient times, building a house was very particular. First of all, it is required that the homestead should be square and the house built should face south.
Because our country itself is in the northern hemisphere, the doors and windows of the houses built face south, and the sun shines in from the south, so the lighting is particularly good.
There are four distinct seasons in the north. Spring, summer and autumn are easier said than done. In winter, the howling northeast wind blows from the north, which is particularly cold.
If the door of the building faces north, then the door of the main house faces north, so it is difficult to keep warm inside. If you light a charcoal stove in the same house, the difference between a house in the north gate and a house in the south gate can be several degrees.
If all the doors of the house face south, then the wall behind the main house will block the biting north wind, and the family living in the house will not feel cold.
Trees pass through the porch and people disperse? The meaning of.
This proverb means planting trees in the yard, not those trees that are too tall and have thick branches and leaves.
Farmhouse space is limited. There are many tree species, and if they don't come loose, life will definitely be affected.
To plant trees in the yard, the trees should not be too close to the house at first. Because as the trees grow taller every year, on the one hand, the dense branches and leaves will block the light in the house, making it dark and not bright.
On the other hand, there is too much rain and frequent lightning in summer in the north. If there is a strong wind, the branches and leaves on the trees will be blown to the house, and even the trees will be blown down, causing the house to collapse.
Another reason is that if the trees in the yard grow too tall and straight, the rural elderly say that trees are more prosperous than people, which is not good for this family. Building a house in the countryside is not a trivial matter. Even now, it is very important and costly for farmers. Some people even spend years of savings to build houses.
So it is not surprising that there is so much attention to the house. The ultimate goal is that the family can live happily together in the newly-built house.
