The worker who built the house said: the nozzle does not necessarily build a house, and the tuyere does not necessarily build a wall. Why?
The main reason for this situation is that China's craftsmen have the spirit of great country craftsmen. They will seriously study how to build a good house, which can be seen from many rural proverbs. For example, rural workers always say that it is dangerous not to build a house at Shuikou.
In the concept of construction workers, everyone pays attention to a fixed word, whether it is the tuyere or the nozzle, it must be fixed and cannot be shaken, that is, it must be stable, and there must be no floods or strong winds.
First, the nozzle is easy to wash away the foundation.
There are many rivers in the south of China, and the north is relatively dry. Therefore, the south will pay more attention to the avoidance of the nozzle than the north, because there are many rivers in the south. If the house is built downstream, be sure to avoid the nozzle.
Shuikou refers to the place where tributaries may break through, such as the Yellow River, which has many tributaries. If a tributary breaks through the river bank and overflows the house, it will cause the house to be flooded.
Therefore, when choosing the address, the construction workers will definitely speculate on the river and predict how the tributaries will spread when the river overflows, and where it is most likely to burst its banks. Only when they know the river like the back of their hand can they break the ground and dig the foundation.
Otherwise, no matter how deep the foundation is dug, it is useless. In the Yellow River basin, the soil is very soft and the foundation is easy to dig. The key is not to be washed away by the flood. Once washed away by the flood, the foundation loses its support instantly and the house will collapse.
Second, the tuyere has the risk of wall collapse.
The second important consideration is to avoid the tuyere when building a house.
The scenery of the tuyere is more valued in the north, because the wind in the south is relatively small and the south is closer to the tropics. Affected by tropical cyclones, there is more rainfall and less wind, the north is relatively dry, there are many grasslands, and strong monsoon is easy to form between valleys. In this case, it is impossible to build a house at the tuyere. The south likes to choose a place where the breeze blows gently, so that it can escape the summer, and the north should avoid the cold wind.
Moreover, in addition to avoiding the tuyere in the north, windows are also very particular. There are few round windows in the north. In the gardens in the south, we will see beautiful round windows, which are very beautiful from the perspective of appreciation, but they are not windproof. Circle is the largest construction method. If the circular window is adopted, the wind will be stronger after the window area is maximized, and the circular window is not easy to install.
Third, tuyeres and nozzles are also very important today.
Tuyere and Shuikou are buildings in rural proverbs, and wisdom is also very important today, such as the statue of China and the construction of Guang Zhouta.
These two buildings can be said to be landmark buildings in China, and tuyeres and spouts will also be considered when they are built.
For example, China respects Beijing, so he chooses to avoid the windy place in Beijing, while Guang Zhouta is in Guangzhou, so he avoids the Ring River in Guangzhou, which can better ensure the safety of these two extremely high buildings.
The height of the two buildings has reached more than 500 meters, and if there is an accident, the consequences are unimaginable.
Fourth, build a house away from the mountains.
In addition to avoiding the tuyeres and inlets on the plains, in the past, people also paid attention to building houses far away from mountains. People who live on the plains will not have such a consciousness, thinking that there are flats everywhere. Why build houses on the hillside? But for people who live in mountainous areas, it is really important to avoid mountainous areas. For example, there are many mountains in Gansu and Sichuan in China.
For the safety of the house, you should choose to stay away from the mountain to avoid the loss caused by the collapse of the mountain.
For example, suitable caves on the Loess Plateau are totally unsuitable for construction in mountainous areas. This type of cave dwelling is only suitable for the Loess Plateau, and it will be very dangerous if it is directly copied to the mountainous area.
Summary:
The architecture in China is a combination of technology and aesthetic feeling. From the simplest way to avoid tuyeres and nozzles, we can see the wisdom of China people in building houses. This wisdom is related to geomantic omen, but it is more the experience that China people have summed up in social practice since ancient times.
Then tell this experience in popular words, so that it can be handed down easily. In this way, if our descendants choose to engage in architecture, they can gain experience from some proverbs of their predecessors.
