Why is there a saying in ancient times that "you live in graves but not in temples"? What's the mystery of this?

What I was most afraid of when I was a child in the countryside was walking home at night, because the most common places on the hills in the countryside were cemeteries. It was not because I was afraid of ghosts, but because the deathly silence and the slight gusts of wind were creepy. . However, I have heard from old people that when there is no place to live in the countryside outside, even if you live in a cemetery, you should not live in a temple such as the Tutu Temple or the Dragon King Temple. At first, I thought there was such a big gap between the two environments, so why should I choose a bad cemetery? Later, I found out that the temple was to suppress demons, so I couldn’t live there. Of course, there were other reasons. 1. Reasons for the Feng Shui theory

In fact, although cemeteries look scary, they are almost all Feng Shui treasures. Because what the ancients hoped for most was to be blessed by their ancestors, it was natural to choose an auspicious place that could bring good luck to their ancestral graves. Therefore, this is why in Macau, many wealthy families are willing to build luxury homes on tomb hills. Then the location of temples in rural areas is not very good. Most of them are in Yindi, that is, places with particularly strong Yin energy. 2. Reasons for belief in gods and Buddhas

For most people in rural areas, the temples where gods and Buddhas live must not be disturbed at night. Because these gods and Buddhas are protecting the peace of one party, their peace cannot be disturbed. Otherwise, divine punishment will be convened. In addition, because the things the gods and Buddhas do not only bring peace and blessings to a party, they also have the responsibility of killing demons. And at night, when demons and ghosts travel, the gods and Buddhas are also places where demons gather and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. 3. Reasons from the natural environment

In addition to these superstitious elements, there are also factors from the natural environment. In rural areas, the choice of cemeteries is to face south and face north, which is exactly the opposite of the house we usually live in, which faces north and south. This kind of place will be cooler in the summer nights, but warmer in the winter nights, so it is also suitable for staying overnight. Temples are just the opposite. Their locations are not too high. Not only are they prone to water accumulation and dampness in summer, but they are also prone to drafts in winter, making them very unsuitable for overnight stays. Finally, whether it is for superstition, feng shui or scientific argument, try not to spend the night in a temple unless absolutely necessary.
