"Don't have three legs in your house, because trouble will make you rich." Do you know what three legs refer to?
Building a house in the past is different from building a house now. When building a house in the past, not only did you have to measure the foundation, but you also had to ask some Feng Shui masters to take a look at the Feng Shui of the future house. If it was not good, Then change it.
Nowadays, when building a house, it must be built on a homestead site specified by the state, so there is not so much consideration.
Don’t have three legs in your house, as trouble will make you rich.
This is a folk proverb. What are the three legs referred to in it? Why are there three legs in a house? These are questions we cannot understand.
Let’s talk about it next, what exactly does the three legs in a house mean?
1. Regulations on rural house construction.
In ancient times, it was not only impossible to build a triangular house.
There are also many strange regulations. Houses cannot be built on ridges or entrances to mountains. There is a legend in ancient times that ridges or entrances to mountains are places where some mythical beasts live. Houses are built on these. The place symbolizes unlucky. If you anger the mythical beast, it will bring disaster to your family.
It is not allowed to build a house if there are pregnant women in the family, because this will cause the pregnant woman to miscarry. After all, pregnant women have no ability to work and cannot help with anything.
If their husbands are too busy, some pregnant women will step forward to help, but if they are not careful, it may lead to miscarriage. For the safety of pregnant women, they generally do not choose to build a house.
Houses cannot be built in triangles. Today’s students think that triangles have stability. Wouldn’t this make the house stronger? In fact, this is not the case. In ancient times, when building a house, Feng Shui, the triangle, and the three representatives of dispersion were more important.
It has a bad connotation, so you will no longer choose to build a triangular house at this time.
Generally, when building a house, four-cornered ones are chosen because they are more stable and conducive to harmonious family relations.
It also looks more beautiful. The most important thing is that it comes from the strong psychological suggestion of the people in the family. They feel that living in a triangular house is not good at all, so they can only choose four corners.
So what are the four corners?
The meaning of two and four corners.
Four corners means that there are four corners, southeast, southeast, northwest, and different directions, all have different meanings.
The high school Chinese text "Hongmen Banquet" tells us what the sitting directions are in the southeast, northwest and northwest. Each seat represents a different status and is arranged in order according to the high and low status.
In ancient times, it was important to distinguish between superior and inferior, and to order elders and younger ones in an orderly manner.
It must be based on the location of the house, so the location of each house is also different. The main house is generally the head of the family.
Then choose rooms according to different orientations. Generally, there is only one main room, and the others are for side sleeping.
The four corners also look beautiful, square and solid, and play an important role in the defense against some natural disasters.
It can bring people a sense of stability and comfort, and they will no longer consider these issues. This is why most people choose houses with four corners.
Moreover, it also symbolizes wealth and good fortune. After all, it is relatively stable and means family harmony. In ancient times, only family harmony and unity could make the family prosperous.
They pay special attention to family harmony. If there are quarrels or other couples fighting, they are not allowed. This is bad behavior.
3. The so-called three legs.
The question arises at this time, what does the so-called three legs mean? In the past, many people built their houses with three corners, that is, houses supported by three pillars.
Although triangles are said to be stable, a large house cannot have only three corners, otherwise it will collapse in the event of a natural disaster.
But you can’t just understand three legs as three pillars. If this is a one-sided statement, the main thing is the three corners. You can look at it from an overall perspective. How many corners does your house have? Houses with three corners are rarely seen nowadays, and most of them have four corners.
Because it is more stable with 4 corners.
Moreover, most people would describe their hometown in terms of a square place, that is, a house built on four corners, which looks square and square, symbolizing unity and harmony.
If you build a triangular house well, it will look nondescript, unsightly, and have a low safety factor.
A house with a triangle will affect your family's luck and is considered an unlucky symbol.
Houses like this are also gradually being renovated, and have basically disappeared now. We have basically never seen better children. We were surprised when we heard such a house. Why are there still three corners? How to live in a house like this? However, it also represents a kind of wisdom of the ancients, which continues to change with the times.
Summary:
From the three-corner house to the four-corner house, they all represent the wisdom of the ancients. They are also constantly practicing to find a house that suits them. It must not only be beautiful, but also make the Feng Shui master feel good after seeing it.
It has a beautiful meaning and is beautiful at the same time. This is what the ancients learned from their experience, and the house can be passed down to this day for people to appreciate.
