Why can't some people have millstones at home?
This is a superstition, which means that geomantic omen is not good for the family, but will bring disaster to the family. In feudal superstition, the stone millstone represents? White tiger? Although the white tiger is a god beast in ancient Chinese thought, it also represents an war. If the stone millstone is placed at home, it means that the killing gas is brought into the home, and the home will cause disaster sooner or later, which is in danger of casualties. Therefore, the ancient people said that the stone millstone could not be placed at home.
Although geomantic omen in ancient times was superstitious, it also represented people's wishes for a better life. The white tiger is one of the four ancient beasts in China. In mythology, the white tiger is the god of killing, and it is the most deadly god. In many industries, there is a worship of the white tiger, in the hope that the white tiger's fighting spirit can slay the demon.
But in ordinary people's homes, people don't need and don't want to slay demons. People don't have the ability. Ordinary people just want to live in peace and stability, just want to live in peace. Although it is generally a good thing to slay the demon, as long as you participate in this kind of thing, you will inevitably encounter accidents. Therefore, the best way to live a stable life is to stay away from these unstable factors. Therefore, even though the white tiger is a god beast worshipped by China since ancient times, it is rare for ordinary people to worship it. In fact, it's not just the white tiger, the green dragon and the suzaku Xuanwu. Basically, there are few ordinary people who believe in them.
In fact, there is another theory of ghosts and gods in the stone millstone, which comes from the regional culture of our country. In the legendary hell in our country, there are people who are guilty of the most heinous crimes. They will suffer in the hell after they have done all the bad things before they die. Among them, there is a kind of punishment in hell related to the millstone, which is roughly to put those who are guilty of the most heinous crimes into the millstone and grind them over and over again to punish them. Therefore, the millstone brings the horror of the underworld to people's hearts. If it is placed at home, it will make people feel uneasy, so it can't be placed at home.
On the whole, this statement has no scientific basis. It is an ancient feudal superstition, but it is also a wish for a beautiful and peaceful life.
