Building a house in the countryside, why do some people say that "the most taboo" neighbors are taller than themselves?
It is precisely because of this that people naturally pay attention to building houses in rural areas. Therefore, when villagers build houses, in addition to the traditional four images of "Zuo Qinglong, Right White Tiger, Former Suzaku and Rear Xuanwu", they also taboo proverbs such as "There is a blockage in front of the door, the future is uncertain" and "There is a pond behind the house, and the widow keeps the house". So when building a house, some exquisite rural people are.
Besides the above, when building a house in the countryside, what some people "are most afraid of" is that their neighbor's house is taller than their own. What's the matter? Is there anything wrong with the neighbor's house being taller than his own? Plum for a moment:
So why are some people "most jealous" that their neighbors are taller than themselves when building houses in rural areas? I think there are several main reasons. On the one hand, the reason is based on the statement left by our ancestors, such as "I'm afraid the dragon will take off and the white tiger will look up". On the other hand, the neighbor's house is too high, which causes great inconvenience to his life. In addition, there may be other reasons, but in general, these two reasons are dominant, and it is also easy to cause housing disputes. Let me introduce it in detail:
First, the "folklore" left by ancestors makes some people "most taboo" that their neighbors' houses are taller than their own.
In rural areas, some villagers attach great importance to the "Feng Shui" of building houses, which is a proverb left by their ancestors. After all, building a house in the countryside is a lifelong matter and requires a lot of manpower and financial resources.
Therefore, when building a house, villagers always find a "owner of the house" in a superstitious way, and then let the "owner" point out how to build the house in order to benefit the main family. It is also under the operation of the master that this rural proverb "not afraid of the dragon, but afraid of the white tiger looking up" came into being.
The phrase "if you are not afraid of the dragon, you are afraid of the white tiger raising its head" means that when building a house, your neighbor is not afraid that the neighbor's house is taller than his main house, because that is where the dragon is on the left, which conforms to the law of "four elephants". However, the owner of the house is afraid that the neighbor's house on the right is taller than his own. This is because the first position on the right is the position of "White Tiger", which is lower than the position of "Qinglong" and conforms to the law of building.
It is for this reason that many villagers follow the advice of "experts" and think that their neighbors' houses are taller than their own, which will be detrimental to them.
Second, the neighbor's house is too high, which brings great inconvenience to his life.
In the countryside, because the neighbor's house is too high, there are many examples of two families fighting. Let me tell you something true:
There are two brothers in my village, and their parents left them several houses. However, on the issue of housing allocation, the younger brother felt that the elderly were unfair, so the two brothers had a contradiction because of a tree.
At that time, my brother's tree was next to my brother's house. When my brother was building a new house, he offered to buy it because it was in the way. But because my younger brother hated the unfair distribution of the house, he told him not to sell it for less than 50 thousand yuan.
Of course, my brother won't spend 50 thousand yuan on a tree. In the case of no choice, my brother avoided trees when building a house. Originally, my brother planned to build a two-story building, but when he was cruel, he built a three-story building. My brother made the foundation of the building very high. And this three-story building is naturally much higher than the second floor of my brother's house.
It is precisely because of this that the lighting of this brother's home is blocked by his brother's building, which makes the home gloomy all day. More important things are yet to come. Whenever it rains heavily, the foundation of my brother's house is higher than that of my brother's house, which also leads to the water in my brother's house not being discharged.
In this case, the contradiction between brother and younger brother is even greater, and they often fight because of a little thing. No, my brother hit my brother with a stick the other day. My brother was admitted to the hospital, and my brother was also detained.
Therefore, from the real events of my brother in our village, we can see that even if one of the houses is built too high, there will be conflicts between the two families because of the inconvenience caused by lighting, dripping water, heavy rain and running water on the other side.
So brothers are still like this, not to mention the neighborhood relationship. This is the real reason why some people "most taboo" that their neighbors' houses are taller than their own when building houses in rural areas.
To sum up: in addition to the above two situations, there are of course other reasons. For example, some people think that the neighbor's house is higher than their own, which is the neighbor's intention, and the neighbor's purpose is to suppress his own head.
But on the whole, for whatever reason, many people in rural areas don't like their neighbors' houses being taller than their own. No matter from the countryside, or living habits, their psychological role and so on. Therefore, when building a house between neighbors, we must communicate well and not destroy the relationship between neighbors for our own convenience.
