There is a teardrop room at home, and two people cry for three years. What is a teardrop room?
There is a saying in my ancestors that "there is a teardrop room at home, and I cry once every three years". This sentence actually evolved from a feng shui. In the original words, it is called "the dripping room with big eaves", and the small room is called the teardrop room. If you build a house called a teardrop room, it will hurt your child and break your heart. Dad cried and cried. " Having said that, many readers may not imagine what the teardrop room looks like.
In fact, the so-called teardrop room refers to the low room next to the main house, which is slightly lower in height than the main house. This kind of house is generally lived by the younger generation. When it rains, the rain can slide along the eaves of the main house to the eaves of the low house, just like a tear falling on it.
That's why this short house is called the teardrop room. It's not good if someone lives in such a house. In most rural areas, the teardrop room is very taboo, and this kind of house is directly called the teardrop room. When building a house, you must keep a good space between houses, and never let the rain from one roof fall on another.
Now it seems that this sentence is full of feudal superstition. How can a person's life and death be influenced by a few drops of rain dripping from the eaves? But look carefully, this sentence still has some truth.
First of all, we can think about the structure of ancient houses. The houses of the ancients, especially those of ordinary poor people, are generally relatively simple. Tiles are laid directly on the roof without any bonding tools. So if the wind is a little stronger on weekdays, it is possible to blow off the tiles. If it is windy and rainy, tiles and bricks are more likely to fall off.
If there are low eaves nearby at this time, bricks and tiles can easily slide down the low eaves into the yard, or even directly smash through another eaves. People who live in such houses are also vulnerable.
If you smash it, you will die, and the family will definitely cry. If someone else's roof is higher than his own, it means that there is a sword of Damocles hanging on his head, and he may hit his head at any time. In this way, the so-called "teardrop room" is really bad.
On the other hand, the teardrop room is short and the main room is high. Coupled with the shelter of the eaves, the sun can't shine into the teardrop room for many years. Coupled with the continuous dripping of rain on rainy days, the walls of the house are inevitably wet. People who live in such dark, damp and poorly lit rooms are prone to get sick.
In addition, the tall main house blocked the flow of the wind, and the air circulation in the teardrop room was not smooth. After a long time, people are flustered and short of breath, and are prone to depression, which affects their physiology and psychology.
Even with the development of science and technology in modern society, people don't want to live in a low house in the shadow of other houses without worrying about getting wet. Mainly because of the long-term lack of sunshine, people's psychology is easily affected.
Therefore, although the ancestor's sentence seems feudal and superstitious, it still has some truth. Need to be treated dialectically.
