As the saying goes, "A tree is sandwiched between a house and a hall is sandwiched between a house. If you are not defeated, you will perish." Does our ancestors' values make sense?
As the saying goes, "A tree is sandwiched between a house and a hall is sandwiched between a house. If you are not defeated, you will perish." This is quite reasonable, not just the wisdom of the ancestors.
The so-called "house between trees" means that no house can be built between two big trees. This is quite taboo. Because this is not only a feng shui issue, but also a house safety issue.
Because when the ancestors of the Central Plains built houses, they often built a platform with rammed earth, and then continued to build on top of the earth platform. There was no modern concept of piling foundations.
The advantage of using rammed earth to build a platform is that it cannot be flooded and can prevent settlement. Therefore, the requirements for rammed earth foundation are also very high. For example, the Forbidden City has stood for more than 600 years. The rammed earth layer underneath is 15 thickest, and it took more than 600 years for it to settle by 90 centimeters.
So what this rammed soil layer fears most is damage from external forces. However, since the rammed soil layer will add a lot of things such as crushed stone and quicklime, it is essentially equivalent to taking some preventive measures. Ordinary bugs, ants, and rodents rarely dig holes in rammed soil, which is a difficult and nutritious place.
But no matter how hard the place is, it cannot prevent the damage to the roots of the big tree. In order to absorb nutrients, tree roots will expand indefinitely, but there is no nutrients in the rammed soil layer itself, which will cause the tree roots to expand and grow even more in order to absorb nutrients. If two trees are squeezing each other, the house between the trees will suffer.
Once the foundation is destroyed, the house will collapse sooner or later. More importantly, the bigger the tree, the ancients believed that everything has animism. The sound of leaves rustling at night can have an impact on people's psychology and seriously affect their family's rest. In summer, big trees are prone to lightning, and there were no lightning rods in ancient times. Once struck by lightning, houses could be easily damaged and fish could be damaged. A hall with a house is also called "two halls with one room". This pattern is actually very rare, because traditional rural houses are "two rooms with one hall".
Because ordinary people in rural areas cannot have a courtyard that can be divided into many halls and halls like the wealthy families in the past. But the most basic places for worshiping and receiving guests are necessary. In our more common main hall, there must be a hall in the middle of the entrance, and the left and right wings are on the two sides. Moreover, the east wing can be divided into the honor room, where the elders or the head of the family live, and the west wing can be divided into the guest room, where the younger generations or guests live. This arrangement is particularly reasonable. Since there is a hall in the middle, the people living in the wing rooms on both sides will not be affected by each other, and they can live in peace with each other.
But there does exist a pattern in which brothers build houses regardless of homestead, and two houses are built on one homesite. Each of the two families must have its own hall, because having a hall can represent you as an independent portal.
So there will be such a strange layout, two halls and one room. ?But this wing sandwiched between two halls has doors on both sides, so it sometimes looks more like a corridor. Not only is it easy to be disturbed, but it also makes sleeping difficult, because if you close the door on the left, you don't know the door on the right. When may I be turned on by others, I will be in a state of nervousness every day. Therefore, this kind of room is actually not suitable for human habitation.
As time went by, the young couple couldn’t even have a baby. Without heirs to continue, this family will naturally not be too far away from ruin.
In fact, if a house is sandwiched between a tree and a house is sandwiched between a hall, if you don't win, you will die. It also has reference significance for us to buy and choose a house now.
When purchasing a house, stay away from big trees. There is no need to explain this again. When choosing a house type, it is best to have a separation between the master bedroom and the second bedroom, even if it is just the bathroom. For those with two bedrooms facing south and one bedroom facing north, it is recommended to convert a study room to the south and use one south and one north bedroom. If there is a room between the living room and the dining room, it is recommended to open the separation between the living room and the dining room, or change the room into a study.
