When building a house in rural areas, there is a saying that "you won't see the tiger's head when you open the door, and you won't see the road when you open the window." Does that make sense?
In the eyes of many people, Feng Shui is a profound and mysterious branch of the school.
People in ancient times believed that the layout and orientation of the house, as well as the materials and hanging objects used to build the house, would have an impact on a family's fortune.
Therefore, people are very careful when building houses.
In the past, people usually built houses on selected flat land.
When people build houses, they also have a lot of taboo knowledge.
This proverb also wants to tell people that before building a building or building a house, they should be more vigilant and pay more attention to some problems that arise.
What kind of truth does this proverb want to tell future generations, and what impact will it have on the production and life of future generations?
The first half of the proverb, the popular understanding of the proverb is that when you open the front door of a built house, don’t face the tiger’s head.
The tiger head represents sharp objects and corners, things that have the potential to collide.
When the front door of a house is facing a sharp building, it will also bring disaster to the family.
People in ancient times often used tiger heads to describe weapons.
For example, during the war between the two countries, sharp weapons such as tiger-head swords, tiger-head spears, and tiger-head hooks were generally used.
People’s first impression of sharp objects is also related to tiger heads.
People use tiger head as a general term for sharp objects.
The ancients wanted to warn people that when building a house, they should pay attention to the surrounding area to see if there are any tiger heads.
Avoid building in places with sharp objects.
It is easy to lose money if the front door is facing a tiger's head, and it is also easy to cause worries and troubles to your family in life.
Let a family live in a depressing environment.
This saying has a certain degree of rationality whether it is a psychological suggestion or a Feng Shui practice.
The houses built by people in ancient times were relatively simple and plain.
The shapes of the houses chosen to be built are also square and rectangular.
Building a house with a square and square layout means that the family can live a stable and harmonious life.
Tiger heads appear around the home, a sharp pattern structure.
That is, the corners of houses that people often encounter in their lives.
Open the door and see the corner of the other party's house, facing your own door.
This will make people feel a kind of panic, and they will not be able to relax mentally.
Furthermore, when you open the door, you will see sharp swords, which also brings a sense of evil to a family.
As soon as the door is opened, this murderous aura will be introduced into the room.
If tiger heads appear around the house, the people in the house will suffer losses or even death.
So opening the door to see a tiger's head is also a bad Feng Shui phenomenon that people are particularly taboo on in their daily living style.
1. Why can’t you see the road when you open the windows?
Open the windows but don’t see the road. This means that houses built on the side of the road should not be designed to retain windows.
It is very simple to understand this proverb when looking at the background of the times.
In the past, there was no surveillance everywhere as it is now. If others were peeping outside the windows of their own homes, there was basically no evidence for such people to get the punishment they deserve.
Therefore, the ancients also wanted to tell people not to open windows in houses near the road.
You cannot face the corners or windows of other people's homes around the door, because this also involves your own privacy.
Having the road facing the window will also affect the relationship between you and your neighbors.
The other party's corner faces his own door, making it inconvenient to get in and out.
No matter from what aspect, this is a house pattern that people don’t want to have when they live in a house, and it affects their own fortune.
Because wars often occurred in ancient times, various types of refugees fleeing famine would wander on the roads.
At this time, they appeared on the side of the road and opened windows in their houses, so that pedestrians coming and going would also affect their sleep.
Moreover, the windows face the road, which will help outsiders peek into the inside of your house.
Especially for people with bad habits such as petty theft.
Once you are targeted by this kind of person, you can inquire about the real situation inside your home.
They will also look for favorable opportunities to sneak into the house and steal.
In order to prevent their home belongings from being stolen, many people will use cloth and wooden boards to separate the rooms around the main road to prevent the privacy inside the home from being exposed.
Summary:
As living conditions have been greatly improved, it is basically impossible for people to build buildings on the side of the road.
Generally, people choose to buy commercial housing to live in. The commercial housing they live in naturally does not have such privacy and security issues.
It was just a common saying at the time, and it also summarized the problems that occurred in the process of people generally building houses.
Let people pay attention to some phenomena in life when building houses, opening doors, and opening windows.
You must choose the correct location to open doors and windows, so that you can live your life without being disturbed by outsiders.
Let a family live a smooth life and make money.
