People often say: "It is better to have a small presence in front of the house than to have a field in front of the house." What is the truth?
This sentence was learned through blood lessons from our ancestors. It still has vitality to this day and still has a certain guiding role for us in building houses and planning courtyards. Why do you say this?
More than 30 years ago, the roads in my hometown village were basically unplanned. They were just narrow paths. Because large cars did not often pass by, the roads were very narrow.
There was a family, and a path happened to pass in front of his door. On the other hand, when he built his house, because the homestead was short from north to south and he had to build a courtyard, he basically built it directly next to this path. You can step into the path when you come out of the gate, without any depth.
This path is not wide, only three meters at most. Neighbors often get together, so it's not without some contradictions. But maybe it was because the children were playing together and there was a festival. From then on, the two families stopped talking and developed a hatred.
From this incident on, the owner of the land opposite would plant trees on the roadside and even touch a layer of cow dung on the trees; sometimes, I don’t know whose sheep or cows Something came out and chewed up his tree. The owner of the house was near this land, but he was swearing loudly.
Not only does this neighbor see cow dung when he goes out, but the tree opposite the door prevents him from pulling the cart out, which is really inconvenient and awkward; not to mention, the guy opposite is always swearing in front of the door if he has nothing to do. , I really can’t stand it.
Because of this, the two families would fight every now and then, making other neighbors laugh, and both families were unhappy.
The fundamental reason for this is that there is no space in front of the house and the road in front of the door is narrow, making it inconvenient to do anything.
There is another custom in rural areas, that is, if there is a funeral in the family, neither the coffin, the coffin, nor the guests participating in condolences are allowed to step on other people's fields and homesteads. Even if this homestead is an open field with nothing planted, the owner of the land will block it with a rope, and some will still watch from the edge of the field. If they see someone unruly, they will even hurt others.
Rural people believe that funeral arrangements are inherently unlucky. If the people involved in the funeral or related tools are placed on their own land, it will be harmful to the land owner. No one knows the specific disadvantages. It must be superstitious.
Therefore, if the land in front of the house is not your own, or the venue is too small, it will be inconvenient to handle weddings and weddings, and you will be severely restricted by others.
It is better to have a small space in front of the house than to have a field in front of the house. This field is not necessarily the basic farmland for growing crops, but mostly refers to homesteads, woodlands, etc. If it is basic agricultural land, a long time ago, before chemical fertilizers appeared on the market, everyone used farmyard manure. Then, every time the farmland is cultivated, the owner of the field will spread manure on the ground, and the smell will drift into the yard. It is not only psychologically disturbing, but also pollutes the air to a certain extent, which is not good for the health of the homeowner.
Since the distribution of farmland to households in rural areas, everyone will notice a phenomenon, that is, every family has moved out of their old houses and built new houses. Why is this?
On the one hand, everyone has money and economic conditions are improving. The fundamental reason is that the old houses in the village have no road planning, making travel difficult and full of potholes. On sunny days, they are dusty roads, and on rainy days, they are cement roads. .
After the land was divided into households, and everyone had a little money, they began to move out their houses, find ones close to the main road, and build them on the official side of the road as much as possible. This way it is much more convenient to travel, and you don’t have to look at it anymore. Others winked.
Some farmers were not allocated roadside land, so they asked others to exchange it at a high price. There are many households in my village, and it is inconvenient to live in the old house. He was not allocated roadside land, so he exchanged two acres of land for one acre and gave someone else a place to build a house.
The only thing I can't exchange for is to continue to build on the old house. You might as well go to the village for a walk. Those who are still building houses on old houses are really helpless. There was no way to build houses on the previously arable land. It wasn't because they didn't want to move out, but because they had no choice but to build houses because there was really no land to build on.
Therefore, the villages in the past were all circular, but now they are all blade-shaped, with houses built along the roads. Where there are roads, there are more houses. In fact, this is because they are influenced by the thought of "I would rather have a small space in front of the house than have a field in front of the house", and they all want to live in a bright and convenient place.
It is better to have a small presence in front of the house than to have a field in front of the house. This statement made sense and made sense when land was privately owned in the old days. Now that land is nationalized, individual land ownership is extremely limited. If you want to own your own land in front of and behind your house, not many people can do it without controlling others. .
In the old days of land privatization, the more land you owned, the more capable and wealthy you were. Therefore, people who had the ability, conditions, and money wanted to buy more fields, and the more fields, the better. People pay more attention to the construction of their homes. If they can live in a home surrounded by their own fields, they are free to develop and expand how they want and are not subject to follow-up. If there are other people's fields in front of and behind the house, it will be greatly restricted, which is unpleasant and a headache. Therefore, long-term planning is required when choosing a location for building a house. This is a warning to people to leave enough space in front of and behind the house. It is best not to have other people's fields occupying it, which will affect the development of the home and the feng shui of the home environment.
This saying can be applied today. Not many people can do it. It is reasonable and unreasonable, but it can warn people that we still need to pay attention to the location of our homes. We must take into account the connection between the front, rear and surrounding areas of our homes. Don't let other people's things stick in it and affect the quality of your home. The living environment has a great influence on people, and carelessness and tolerance should not be taken lightly.
It makes no sense! Many folk sayings, folk customs, folk proverbs, and historical famous sayings are produced in specific natural environments, political environments, and lack of science.
With the changes in nature, climate changes, the popularization of science, the logical development of thinking, the depth of cognition, the awareness of right and wrong standards, and the optimization of the political environment, those historical folk customs , sayings, proverbs, and famous quotes from historical celebrities no longer have any truth, but those that still have some truth have been inherited and improved by contemporary culture!
This is an old saying. There is other people’s fertile land in front of the house, and there is no room for expansion in the future. Whenever other people come to do farm work, they can peek into everything going on in the house, which is not conducive to the development of family breeding. Chickens, ducks and poultry can only Circle, wait.
This makes sense. Even if there is only a sidewalk in front of your house, you will not build your house in someone else’s field. In the past, when you built a house, you usually had a yard in front of it. How can I travel if my front cover is in someone else's field?
It means that the front and back of the house should be wide and not restricted by the neighbors on the left and right. The fields should be separated from each other and the houses should not be too close.
The bigger the family yard, the better. You can raise chickens and ducks, plant trees, flowers, and grass. It can be used for whatever you do at home. There is a spacious place for parking, weddings, birthday celebrations, etc. Setting up tables and stools brings a lot of convenience and benefits to the family. It also avoids disputes with the neighbors on the left and right, competing for territory, causing unnecessary conflicts, and making the neighbors on the left and right not harmonious.
This sentence does not exist in today's society. Villages and farmland are not together. There are roads or rivers between villages and farmland, and they exist independently. This proverb should be a dual-official saying, and everyone has different understandings. The implication is that having farmland in front of the house limits one's development space and is not conducive to long-term development.
The front of the house belongs to you, but the back of the house belongs to others, which is very dangerous! The back of my house was someone else's land, and they poured water into the ground. As a result, the foundation of my house settled and the wall cracked. I still have no reason to argue with them [cover face] [cry]
