How to understand the old saying that "the poor look at the hall and the rich look at the kitchen"?

We ordinary people often say that the poor look at the hall and the rich look at the kitchen. This sentence is not unreasonable, because the kitchen is a very particular place for the rich. Now people may not have much idea about how to decorate this kitchen, bedroom and living room, and think that as long as it looks comfortable and beautiful, the whole will be coordinated. But it was different in ancient times.

We often hear old people say that the poor look at the hall and the rich look at the kitchen. This is very reasonable, because ancient people paid special attention to this point, and the food they ate every day was also very particular. We can all see in the costume TV series that the rich serve several dishes with sentences, and the placement is particularly particular. But if you look at poor people's homes, it's different. Simple food is not too particular, so the kitchen can see the rich and the poor.

Secondly, the location of the hall, the location of the hall, was generally a large family in ancient times, and the ruling team was their hall, so you can see whether the family is rich or poor by seeing the hall. Whether it is the placement of tables and chairs or the location made by the owner, including what kind of furniture to use, the rich are very particular about it, and the decoration is particularly beautiful.

Ancient people, including diet in life, paid great attention to special things. Especially the location of the living room and kitchen is their core pillar. Because in the eyes of ancient people, they were particularly afraid of others gossiping. Therefore, they will make people feel particularly solemn and dignified, especially comfortable, whether in terms of etiquette or home layout.
