You can’t be superstitious when building a new house in rural areas, but what must you pay attention to?
Don’t be superstitious, but you should be particular about building a house and pay attention to many details.
Our country has a long history and culture, and many cultural customs have been passed down. Especially in rural areas, many aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation are very particular. Some of these customs are superstitious, but most of them are very reasonable, but current science cannot explain its mystery.
This has to start with the living habits that have been passed down from ancient times in our country. Chinese people pay attention to facing south, mainly because in the past, most Chinese people lived in the Central Plains, with mountains in the north and water in the south, which was geographically called Xiangyang. This is beneficial to the lighting problem of the house. Moreover, places close to mountains and rivers are always desirable places for Chinese people to live. It is this kind of particularity that leads to the Chinese people's habit of building houses facing north and south. The south window is the front window and the north window is the rear window. The south window allows direct sunlight, but the interior will not be warm and humid.
When people in rural areas build houses, they don’t want to have water behind their houses or graves in front of their doors. The reason is: In ancient society, people did not have running water, so domestic water came from streams and rivers, so the choice of location was naturally to find a convenient place to build a house. If the water source is behind the house, people will have to go a long way to get water, which will take a lot of effort and is quite troublesome. Once someone drowns, it is easy to be discovered in front of the yard, but if someone drowns in the back of the yard, the chance of being discovered is much smaller, and the chance of the drowning person being rescued is also smaller. And once the rainy season comes, if flooding occurs, the first people who will be threatened are the people living in the houses behind.
When building a house, you should pay attention to details, but it is not recommended to be too superstitious.
