Why did people in ancient times not dare to offend the carpenters when building houses, but also provided good food and drink?

First, because building a house is a big deal.

Building a house is a big deal at any time. After all, every household saves money for a long time before they can build a house. And building a house is too professional. If you don't hire a professional carpenter, you won't be able to do it.

So, when building a house in the past, everyone was afraid that if the carpenters were not treated well, if the carpenters cut corners or deliberately left some small defects when building the house, then the house would be damaged in the future. It will be particularly inconvenient and uncomfortable.

It is precisely because of such scruples that everyone treats the carpenter like a guest, offering him delicious food and drinks. As for wages, I dare not default on even one penny.

Second, because of fear of Feng Shui superstition.

The ancient people believed very much in the Feng Shui of the house. They were worried that if the carpenter secretly hid something unclean in the corner when building the house, it would destroy the Feng Shui of the house. It may bring a lot of misfortune when you check in in the future.

It is said that someone offended the carpenter. As a result, the carpenter made a small move, which caused the family to lose money and eliminate disasters at first. Later, things became more and more difficult to deal with, and they almost fell into trouble. A family's life.

This incident serves as a warning, so when every household wants to build a house, they will politely invite a carpenter. They must be kind to each other throughout the process of building the house, until the house is completed.

Third, building a house is a professional matter.

Because carpentry is a very professional job, although there were many people learning at that time, there were very few who could succeed in it. However, there are many people who want to build houses, so there is a situation where there are too many people and too few people. It is very rare to be able to hire a carpenter.
