"Don't have three legs in your house. If you have troubles, it will be hard to get rich." What does "three legs" specifically refer to?
Housing has always been a major event in our lives. Whether it is in rural areas or commercial housing construction, before starting construction, a respected master will be asked to help look at the location, orientation, and furniture. Feng shui issues with furnishings, etc.
It is precisely because of people’s emphasis on housing that some of the ancient people’s house-building experiences have been passed down to this day.
For example: "Don't build a house with three legs, because trouble will make it difficult to get rich."
1. What does "a house should not have three legs" mean?
This sentence means that when we build a house, we should not build three pillars.
Such a house neither has a solid foundation nor is it conducive to the owner’s fortune.
If we observe carefully, we will find that the old houses built with wood in the past used four pillars as their foundations. They looked square and square. Some families with conditions would also use mud to surround them. A circle of walls.
In ancient times, people believed that "3" was an unlucky number, and it could not bear the weight of the house itself and had poor stability. Not only that, but the appearance was not beautiful enough.
In Feng Shui, housing is the place where we live and rest. What matters is comfort and whether it can bring good news to ourselves.
2. What does "three legs" specifically refer to?
In ancient times, ordinary people did not pursue beauty like the royal family and nobles did when building houses, but more hoped that they could have a house. shelter.
But even so, ordinary people will still follow the principle of "a house should not have three legs" when building a house.
Nowadays, many young people believe that "triangles are stable", so they wonder, why can't we use three legs to build a house? The rooms we usually see have four pillars, but in fact the "three legs" mentioned here are not the pillars of the houses we see in our daily lives.
With three legs as pillars, it is difficult to support the entire house, which can easily lead to problems of imbalance and lack of stability.
Since "three legs" does not refer to the pillars of the house, what does it refer to? "Three legs" is actually just a pronoun here, but refers to the shape of the house. Some people have limited financial resources and limited building area, so they can only choose to build a house with three corners. That is to say , the house only has 3 corners.
The construction of this type of houses is mostly concentrated in mountainous areas or hilly areas.
In ancient my country, people paid great attention to the principle of "squareness", and both the exterior and interior of the house were required to be square.
People need to build the main house first before building a house, so that the house built sequentially will be square.
The reason why "three legs" is considered unlucky is mainly because it is very rare in daily life. Even if it is built, it will be different from the square house, which violates the "square" principle. principles of house building.
Moreover, in ancient society, people's minds were relatively closed-minded. When they saw different things, they would think it was bad or unlucky. It was difficult for people living there to get promoted and make a fortune.
But in fact, today, whether a person can make a fortune mainly depends on his efforts, otherwise it will be useless no matter what house he lives in.
Only by working hard and moving towards your goals can you achieve success.
3. A rational view of the experience of the ancients
Although the construction of a house is not directly related to whether an individual can make a fortune, whether a house is well built or not will still affect to one's mood.
If the house is tilted this way and that, people living in such a house will become worried, fearing that the house will collapse if it is windy or rainy that day.
In modern society, land is very valuable, especially in big cities, where it is extremely expensive.
And some people can only buy some small land because their economic income is not very optimistic and they want a place to stay in a big city.
Most of these plots of land are not very neat, so it is naturally difficult for the houses to be built to be square.
For them, who are tired from traveling to other places, they have no extra thought to judge whether such a house is suitable for Feng Shui and whether it is auspicious. They just hope to have a "safe haven".
Therefore, although there is some truth in what the ancients said, we also need to consider it in light of the actual situation of the current society and our own abilities, rather than copying it blindly.
Summary:
Our country is a country with vast territory and abundant resources, but the area that can be used to build houses or the area that can be purchased by individuals is limited. , which also determines that it is difficult for the house we build to achieve the consistent principle of "square and square".
Moreover, with the development of architecture and art, many people will also build houses in tourist areas into unique shapes to attract tourists.
“A house should not have three legs” is an experience summed up by the ancients based on the society and life at that time.
With the progress and development of society, we also need to learn to use a "dialectical" perspective to view the experiences of these ancients, rather than solidifying our own thoughts.
