Why does the old saying in rural areas say "the front mountains should be far away and the back mountains should be close"?

What does the old rural saying "The front mountains should be far away and the back mountains should be close" mean? The text describes the distance from the mountain, but it actually refers to the importance of keeping a certain distance from the mountain when building a house.

Xiangju Xiaocai’s rural hometown is in a mountainous area. As far as the eye can see, there are mountains. But what is the layout of the houses in our local countryside?

Because there are many mountains and the mountains are relatively high, the houses usually built by people usually have two floors, or at most four floors, with a height of less than 15 meters, so they are still much shorter than the mountains; mountains and The relatively open areas between the mountains are fields, and our house is built in the mountains at the foot of the mountains. In front of the village is a canal, and beyond that is farmland.

Building a house at the foot of a mountain is relatively close to the mountain behind the house. For example, my grandfather’s house is the closest to the mountain behind. It is separated by a small road, and there are mountains and forests above it. And my house In places relatively close to farmland.

There are also mountains in front of our village, but those mountains are far away and behind my grandmother’s village. In other words, my grandmother’s village is also at the foot of the mountain, and my grandmother’s village is close to There are several kilometers between our villages. There are large fields there with nothing to block them. The sun usually rises from my grandmother's village and sets from our side. The rising and setting of the sun does not affect the fronts of the houses in our two opposite villages. Daylighting.

Because they are all at the foot of the mountain, they are blocked by the mountain. Sometimes like four o'clock in the afternoon, the backside of some houses cannot get the sun. For example, my grandpa's house is closest to the back mountain. His house After four o'clock, there is not much sunlight, but it doesn't matter much, the light is still very good during the day. "The front mountain should be far away, and the back mountain should be close" refers to the houses built by people in my hometown in the mountainous area.

And because it is at the foot of the mountain, you usually open the door into the fields with nothing to block it, which gives people a good feeling. Moreover, it is close to the back mountain and there are many trees and soil, so the climate will feel warm in winter and cool in summer. , if there is a strong wind, because the mountain blocks part of it, the impact will be relatively small, so it is still very suitable as a place to live.

Of course, the deeper meaning of "the front mountain should be far away and the back mountain should be close" also needs to be understood. The front of the house is the main entrance. In Feng Shui, the main entrance is used to gather wealth and energy. The front is far away from the mountain. Being far away is conducive to gathering wealth and energy, and the family will be more prosperous; and the back mountain is what people often call "backing and connections." Being close to the back mountain also means that your family has a backing and a wide network of connections, and things will be smoother and more prosperous.
