Why are there so many onions on the rafters?
Related to Feng Shui. In our traditional numerology and divination theory, whether it is the wealth official in the horoscope or the "turtle-backed nobleman" in face divination, there is a simple truth: Only when people can carry heavy loads can they go far and achieve great achievements. Gradually, this numerological concept of "he who bears the heavy burden is valued" has also penetrated into the minds of the people, thus having a positive impact on Feng Shui and construction studies. Putting money in the beams when building a house is an intuitive expression of the beautiful meaning that the house you built, or this home, can "carry money" and is a good blessing for prosperity. At the same time, putting money on the rafters also has another meaning: a simple idea to avoid attracting thieves in the home. In the history of human currency, gold and silver currencies have occupied a very long historical period. As far as our country is concerned, paper money began to appear only in the Song Dynasty: Jiaozi. In the process of using gold, silver, and metal currencies, there is an obvious disadvantage: it is inconvenient to carry, easy to be discovered, and easy to attract theft. As a result, storing currency has become a very important issue, so some people choose to place their belongings on the beams of the house, so that they cannot see the sky or the ground, so as to reduce the risk of being stolen. Gradually, this folk tradition also affected Feng Shui construction. When building houses, folk would like to put a copper coin in the beam to symbolize the safety of the property in the home and not attract outside thieves.
