If you can see nine yangs, don’t look at one yin; if you can touch nine tombs, don’t touch one door. What does this saying mean?

Many of the common sayings that have been passed down to us cover a wide range of areas. Although some of the common sayings sound unpleasant to the ear, they also contain many philosophies of life. The charm of these sayings does not lie in how gorgeous they appear on the surface. In fact, they reflect the wisdom of our ancestors. Some of them reveal common social phenomena, and some tell us their meanings. Some common sayings are like textbooks in life. For example, the saying "If you can see nine yangs, don't look at one yin, and if you can touch nine tombs, don't touch one door" means Feng Shui.

The yang in the first half of this sentence refers to the house, while the yin refers to the tomb. We all know that the Feng Shui of the tomb is very important to us. Sometimes the location of the tomb can determine the fortune of our descendants, but it costs a lot of money to ask a master to look at the Feng Shui of the tomb. So the meaning of the first half of this sentence is that for some people who don’t have that much money, it is better to ask a master to come and see the feng shui of the tomb than to ask the master to come and see the feng shui of their own house before building a house. What are the things to pay attention to.

The second half of this sentence means that when we build a house, the location of the door is very particular. For example, the door threshold must not be made of locust tree. Because the locust tree has a homophone of "bad", it is a bad sign. At that time, people often thought that the gate was a place that must be passed through in daily travel, and it was a very important place. Therefore, even if the grave needs to be moved sometimes, the location of the gate must not be changed, otherwise it will affect the owner's fortune.

Many of us are no longer so superstitious. Compared with Feng Shui issues, family tradition issues are actually the most important reason for the decline of a family. Therefore, we cannot rely solely on Feng Shui, we must also make certain efforts ourselves. We must also believe in science and not rely solely on superstition to achieve our needs. After all, we are now a scientific society. Many good wishes can no longer be achieved solely by superstition, but must be achieved through one's own efforts.
