Why did people in ancient times build such high thresholds on their houses? What is the implication?

The so-called threshold is a three-piece set of threshold, gate and door frame that block the city gate when ancient people built a house. In this way, the door can be closed tightly so that it will not be pushed open. In addition, ancient people also built the threshold very high. The reason is that ancient people were more feudal and superstitious. They believed in the existence of monsters and monsters. If the threshold was raised, it would make them trip over and make it difficult for them to enter the house. Moreover, raising the threshold can prevent dust from flying into the room and causing the room to be unclean. 1. The role of the threshold

Let us first put aside feudal superstition and talk about the role of the threshold from the perspective of manufacturing. The original intention of ancient people designing doors was to close the house to prevent thieves from appearing. So there can be no gap at the top of the gate, but if the bottom of the gate is in contact with the ground. This will cause noise when opening and closing the door, and will wear the bottom of the door. There is a contradiction in this. The door needs to be closed but cannot directly act on the ground. So people invented the threshold, so that the closed door can be in contact with the threshold and the door frame to form a completely closed space, which is exactly in line with the original intention of the ancients. 2. The meaning of the threshold

From the perspective of feudal superstition, the ancients believed that building a threshold at home could collect treasures and avoid the effects of ghosts and gods. If there is a gap in the middle, it will affect the luck of the entire house and the owner of the house. The threshold can make up for the lost wealth of the owner, so people in ancient times liked to build high thresholds. In fact, we modern people, especially businessmen, often ask about Feng Shui when buying a house, paying special attention to the influence of this luck. It can also be seen from this that in real life people's success often involves luck, so businessmen also rely more on financial luck. 3. The wisdom of the ancients was endless

Because there is a gap between the door and the ground, it does not look good at first glance, but the threshold plays a beautiful role. Moreover, in the minds of ancient people, the door was a symbol of status. The more beautiful the patterns carved on the door were, the more distinguished the status represented. Therefore, ancient aristocrats designed even the thresholds very wonderfully, just to ensure that their heirs would be prosperous and their branches would flourish.
