Why does almost every household in rural areas have a big tank?

In the countryside, some people put large vats in front of their homes. This should be a custom in the past. Of course, there are some opinions on this, mainly for the convenience of some families and as a means of attracting wealth. However, large water tanks are placed at the gate of the house, which are not accessible to every family, and certain conditions need to be met before large water tanks can be placed.

As the saying goes, "a widow has a lot of trouble at her door", especially after young women have lost their husbands in the past, they usually will not look for another man. They all need to stay at home and must maintain their chastity, but because the children at home are small or their physical strength is insufficient, drinking water has become a big problem. Therefore, some widows put a large water jar on the door of the house. Some good people in the village or the head of the village would transfer the water to the widow's door and then pour it into the big water tank. First, it saves the widow's physical labor and ensures draft. The second problem is that it not only prevents gossip from entering the widow's home. Placing a large vat by your door is the best way to keep it clean. Therefore, placing a large vat at the door is not a casual meaning. This is the widow's child, a representation of one's own weaknesses.

Of course, for another way to enlarge the tank at the door, it is basically a rich one. Some Feng Shui masters, after seeing their house, put a large water tank to adjust the Feng Shui of their house, making the house more meaningful. However, this water tank usually needs to be filled with water, and some even have lotus plants planted there, which also play the role of decorating the door, which is indeed a good idea. Because for Feng Shui masters, water means wealth, so a large water tank at the door can collect more money, which means more income at home. After all, having a stream of water flowing into the water tank for storage is also great for the home.

Of course, in today's society, there is no such thing as placing a water tank at the door, because current homes are equipped with running water. Even if there is no water, they have a deep well at home with a pump. When it comes to drinking water, you don’t have to go out of your way to get it, and most drinking water sources are contaminated with fertilizers and pesticides and are no longer safe. However, in the past, some people in rural areas placed a large water tank at the door of their home. In fact, this is mainly because it is inconvenient to drink water at home. The good people in the village use it instead of fetching water. Even now, it is a very rare phenomenon to change the Feng Shui of your own house.
