Is it a feudal superstition to "add walls and destroy homes" in rural areas?
Adding a wall to the wall means that it is very dangerous to continue building a house on the basis of the original house, which can easily lead to the collapse of the house and threaten the personal safety of family members. In recent years, many rural people choose to build two-story buildings when building houses. Some people see that their neighbors are all in Gai Lou, but they can't afford to build two floors, so they will try to build another floor on the basis of the original house, so that they can let their families live in the building at less than half the cost. Although the idea is good, they must not do it. This is because the foundation of bungalows is much shallower and narrower than that of buildings, especially for old houses that have lived for a long time. The foundation becomes unstable. If you insist on adding stories to the old house, the foundation of the old house will crack because of the heavy load, and even the foundation may sink. Such a house is bound to be dangerous to live in, so adding a story to the old house will never work.
In some places, there is another explanation for this proverb, that is, opening a window on a load-bearing wall is called adding a wall to the wall. Personally, I think this explanation is feasible, because the load-bearing wall mainly bears the weight of the whole roof and is the thickest and strongest wall in a house. I believe that many people will change the layout of the original house when they buy a house in the city. The way to change the layout is to tear down the original wall and build a wall according to your own ideas, but the decorator will definitely not tear down the load-bearing wall, because the torn load-bearing wall will easily lead to the collapse of the house. The load-bearing wall can not only be easily removed, but also can not be easily installed with windows, which will also affect the safety of the load-bearing wall.
To sum up, I personally think that "adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family" is not superstition. Many people will think this sentence is superstition, which may be related to the second half of this proverb. Careful friends will find that rural proverbs are often described in an exaggerated way in order to attract everyone's attention.
The biggest feature of living in the countryside is that the house you live in is to build your own house on the homestead. Building a house in the countryside is a major event for farmers. Many people try their best to build a house of their own for the rest of their lives. In the past, due to the limitation of economic conditions, many farmers often had to save money to build houses for many years.
There are also many opinions about building houses, such as the location of houses, the choice of materials, the design and orientation of windows, which need to be carefully studied. After all, once selected, it is difficult to change. Among all the opinions, the most important one is that "adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family".
There are two explanations for adding a wall to a wall. One is an old house where people have lived for many years. In order to expand the living area, people added a layer on the original basis. However, people who build their own houses in rural areas should understand that the height of the house and the construction and depth of the foundation are interrelated.
Especially in the northeast of China, because there is frozen soil layer on the ground, in order to prevent the frozen soil layer from expanding with heat and contracting with cold, when laying the foundation, we must dig a certain depth as the foundation according to the height of the house, and dig it under the frozen soil layer, and fill the foundation with sand and gravel and build rubble on it to strengthen the foundation, so as to prevent the foundation of the house from being unstable. The house has lived for many years, and there will be some cracks at the joint between the house and the foundation. At this time, if the old house is renovated, it is basically to dismantle the foundation and rebuild it, rather than adding another layer to the original foundation of the house. This will lead to the instability of the foundation of the house, and the original load-bearing wall can no longer bear the weight of the upper layer, which will lead to danger.
There is also a saying that the walls of rural courtyards are raised again on the original basis after completion. In fact, it is also the case. Without changing the original foundation or wall thickness, the wall is built very high. If the wall above them is high, it will produce unstable imagination, and it is easy to be dangerous when there is strong wind.
Therefore, from these two aspects, "adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family" is reasonable. It is only through this old saying that people are warned to pay attention to matters needing attention in construction and not to cause personal danger in order to save trouble. Especially in the earliest rural areas, houses and outer courtyards are adobe brick walls made of rural straw and soil, which increases the danger.
Do you think that "adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family" is a feudal superstition? Whether it makes sense, welcome to communicate, more wonderful villages, welcome to pay attention.
Is it a feudal superstition to "add walls and destroy homes" in rural areas? Some people think that the countryside represents feudalism and superstition, but after several generations, urban people are also rural people. The countryside is a treasure house of culture, especially many proverbs, which express the philosophy of life in fluent language. Although it is sometimes exaggerated, it makes sense to think about it carefully. For example, "add a wall to the wall, and the family will be ruined." It sounds a bit exaggerated, but it is.
In China, everyone has a house plot, especially in rural areas, but whenever they have some savings, they like to build new houses, and the idea of owning a suite for life is particularly prominent. In the case of short-term lack of funds and serious damage to the original houses, some farmers will choose to build bungalows, which was more common twenty years ago. When you have money in the future, you will build another layer on this basis.
However, according to what has always been said, this practice is not desirable. Because the bearing capacity of each building is different, adding walls or stories on the original basis may lead to the failure of the original bearing system and the collapse of the house. Even if the economic loss is calculated, if it hits people, the situation will be very serious.
Back to the situation in our village just mentioned, why did someone build bungalows before? Not anymore. Apart from the economic improvement, it can be achieved in one step. In the past, buildings collapsed due to adding floors. Not far from the back door of my house, after adding a layer, it rained heavily two or three years later, and half of it fell, and two people were injured. Fortunately, their lives were not in danger, and they were not added later. Last year, a family only added a roof to the original bungalow and renovated it, instead of building two floors, just because they were worried about this problem.
Therefore, we can't regard all the old sayings as feudal superstitions. They contain a lot of historical experience and look rough, but in fact they are full of profound truth. This is my view on this sentence. If you have any different opinions, please comment. Is it a feudal superstition to "add walls and destroy homes" in rural areas? Perhaps, to ask what is the most valuable thing in rural farmers' homes at present, except for a few acres of contracted land, most farmers may answer "house". Now it has become a common understanding that farming is not profitable. Many farmers don't have much savings at home, so they regard their houses as their important property. It is precisely because of this that rural farmers pay special attention to the orientation, location and integration with the surrounding environment when building houses. Of course, the quality of the house can not be ignored, otherwise there will be no sense of security in it.
Because it is not easy for farmers to build houses, it may cost them half of their life savings. For ordinary farmers, in order to control the construction cost, many families only build one floor at first, and then add another floor on this basis after the family conditions are good. However, in the case of adding stories to the original house, people summed up a sentence: "Adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family."
The mentality of "keeping up with the joneses" among rural farmers is quite common. When they see their neighbors buying a new car, they will follow suit, whether it is in line with their actual situation or not. When you see other people's houses built higher than yours, it is totally irrational to start heightening your own house or building a new one. Then, why is there a saying in rural areas that "adding a wall outside the wall will ruin the family"? Is this a feudal superstition?
As the saying goes in the countryside, "Adding a wall outside the wall will ruin the family", which means that building a house on the original house is prone to potential safety hazards. Although this proverb is exaggerated, it is not unreasonable. Just like this proverb, many expressions of rural proverbs are exaggerated, but its implied truth deserves attention. As far as "adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family" is concerned, it is difficult to grasp whether the foundation can support the weight of the existing house, whether the new wall can be vertically aligned with the original wall, and whether the load-bearing structure of the house has changed. , there are certain security risks. The older generation used this exaggerated expression to warn everyone not to build houses by "adding walls to the walls" as much as possible.
From this perspective, although this proverb is exaggerated, it is not a feudal superstition, but it still has some truth. Dear friends, what do you think? Welcome to leave a message!
In recent years, the economic level of rural families in China has improved significantly. Basically, every family has a certain amount of deposit, and many families choose to use this deposit to re-flip a two-story house. When rebuilding a house, it is basically to rebuild the foundation and rebuild the wall, instead of directly heightening the previous bungalow, because people here are convinced that "adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family."
It is often very dangerous to build a house on the basis of the previous house according to the previous wall. If you are not careful, it will lead to the destruction of your family. Speaking of which, you may think I'm talking nonsense. I feel that this rural proverb is feudal superstition, but it is not. This sentence is definitely not a feudal superstition. This sentence is very scientific, because I have seen a series of troubles caused by building a house.
Lao Li in our village next door is a typical example. Lao Li has three daughters, all of whom work in other places. Usually, only his wife and the two of them depend on each other. Because the money they earned when they were young supported their daughter to go to college, they didn't have much savings when they were old. They lived in the former single-story brick house. Lao Li watched someone else's house build a two-story small building in the past two years, and his heart itched, but he was embarrassed to spend too much money to build a house. So later, he discussed with his wife that it would be better to use these savings in his hand to add a floor to his current house, so that he could not only live on two floors, but also save money.
My wife didn't go to school and didn't understand the danger, so they agreed, so they called the construction team to build the house. The construction team saw that the foundation of the house was not good and advised Lao Li not to build it, but Lao Li just wanted to live in two floors and couldn't listen at all. The construction team had no choice but to build it for him. It was fine when it was first built, but it will not work after living for half a year. The foundation began to collapse and cracks appeared on the wall on the first floor. The house still tends to collapse. Lao Li and his wife can't stay in the neighbor's house next door for a while. When the daughters came home, they tore down the house that was about to collapse and rebuilt two small bungalows. Now, whenever we see Lao Li in these villages, we make fun of him. Lao Li is also miserable and can only regret it.
The main reason for this situation is that the cross section of the previous foundation and wall is very impatient, so if a new wall is added to the old wall, the old wall and foundation will collapse and the wall will collapse seriously. If someone happens to be inside, it will cause casualties. This rural proverb, "If you add a wall, your family will be ruined", is the experience of our ancestors in building houses, telling us that we can't build new houses on old houses, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Therefore, this rural proverb is not feudal superstition, but very scientific.
For thousands of years, many proverbs have been handed down in rural areas, most of which are based on science. For example, this sentence seems to be a feudal superstition on the surface, but when you think about it carefully, it is clear that it is by no means a feudal superstition.
"Adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family" is a taboo in life and also the principle of building a house. In the past, the foundation of building houses in rural areas was relatively weak, and the walls were all earth walls with limited bearing capacity. Sometimes, in rural areas, people want to add a wall or a one-story house. In order to save money, they will consider building another section on the original wall. In fact, the security risks are very large. Adding a wall to the original wall easily exceeds its bearing capacity, which eventually leads to the collapse of the house, which is the root cause of the damage.
This sentence is also very reasonable in modern architecture. At present, to carry out construction, we must first carry out scientific planning and design drawings. In the process of construction, the construction must be carried out in strict accordance with the design drawings, so as to ensure the safety of the house. This happened in our neighboring village: the wing of a family was a bungalow, and later, a layer was added to the top of the bungalow, which became a two-story bungalow. As a result, one night, without any warning, the two-story bungalow collapsed. Fortunately, no one lives in it.
Our local rural people often say: if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer! Therefore, the common sayings handed down in rural areas are the accumulation of experience, and we still have to listen to them. There is an old saying in the countryside that "adding a wall to the wall will ruin the family." In fact, this is a taboo for building houses in rural areas, not a superstition. This is an empirical talk and a specific product of a specific era. It has profound implications and strong practicability, and has influenced generation after generation.
The original intention of "adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family"
In the past, houses were built in rural areas not with bricks, but with civil structures. The firmness of a house depends entirely on the foundation. At that time, there was no cement in the foundation, but it was rammed with loess, which lacked compression resistance. The foundation is unstable and can't bear the heavy pressure. The key is that the walls of the house are made of adobe or mud. This house is not strong. After a long time, cracks will appear in the wall. If we continue to add walls to raise floors, it will inevitably increase the pressure on the walls and easily lead to the collapse of houses. This is the same as casually adding a room to the house now.
Is it reasonable to "add a wall to the wall and ruin the family"?
Tall buildings rise from the ground, all on the foundation. If there is a problem with the foundation, then the house is dangerous and dangerous to live in, which may lead to the possible consequences of "family destruction" The truth that "adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family" is obvious.
"Add a wall to the wall, and the family will be ruined" is very suitable for today's children. Although the building materials are advanced, the building means are enhanced, the building structure is more reasonable and the foundation is safer, but the structure is modified at will, for example, some people illegally build on the roof in order to get a lot of rent or more compensation. It will directly affect the bearing capacity of the wall and foundation, and will definitely endanger the overall quality of the house after a long time. Maybe there will be no problem at ordinary times. In the event of geological disasters such as earthquakes, houses are more likely to collapse, endangering the lives of family members and neighbors.
The biggest feature of living in the countryside is that the house you live in is to build your own house on the homestead. Building a house in the countryside is a major event for farmers. Many people try their best to build a house of their own for the rest of their lives. In the past, due to the limitation of economic conditions, many farmers often had to save money to build houses for many years.
There are also many opinions about building houses, such as the location of houses, the choice of materials, the design and orientation of windows, which need to be carefully studied. After all, once selected, it is difficult to change. Among all the opinions, the most important one is that "adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family".
There are two explanations for adding a wall to a wall. One is an old house where people have lived for many years. In order to expand their living area, they added a floor to the original one. However, people who build their own houses in rural areas should understand that the height of the house and the construction and depth of the foundation are interrelated.
Especially in the northeast of China, because there is frozen soil layer on the ground, in order to prevent the frozen soil layer from expanding with heat and contracting with cold, when laying the foundation, we must dig a certain depth as the foundation according to the height of the house, dig it under the frozen soil layer, fill the foundation with sand and gravel and build rubble on it to strengthen the foundation, so as to prevent the foundation of the house from being unstable. The house has lived for many years, and there will be some cracks at the joint between the house and the foundation. At this time, if the old house is renovated, it is basically to dismantle the foundation and rebuild it, rather than adding another layer to the original foundation of the house. This will lead to the instability of the foundation of the house, and the original load-bearing wall can no longer bear the weight of the upper layer, which will lead to danger.
There is also a saying that the walls of rural courtyards are raised again on the original basis after completion. In fact, it is also the case. Without changing the original foundation or wall thickness, the wall is built very high. If the wall above them is high, it will produce unstable imagination, and it is easy to be dangerous when there is strong wind.
Therefore, from these two aspects, "adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family" is reasonable. It is only through this old saying that people are warned to pay attention to matters needing attention in construction and not to cause personal danger in order to save trouble. Especially in the earliest rural areas, houses and outer courtyards are adobe brick walls made of rural straw and soil, which increases the danger. Although there is some truth, it is a bit exaggerated. People attach great importance to building houses in rural areas rather than simply renovating and decorating them.
When a house is newly built, farmers will look at the Gregorian calendar and choose the right day to break ground, and even hold a ceremony to make everything go smoothly. The most important thing in a house is to lay the foundation. There is a saying that as long as the foundation is laid, the house can be repaired firmly. Therefore, farmers attach great importance to the foundation of houses, but there are also cases of using old walls, directly ignoring the saying that "the wall on the wall, the family breaks down." Isn't this a bit alarmist?
First, the reason for adding a wall to the wall When farmers build houses, there are nothing more than three situations. First, there was no consideration and demand at that time, only one or two floors were built to meet the needs of life and production. After many years, the demand increased, so a new floor was added to the roof. Second, although there were plans at that time, it was difficult to raise funds, so it took several years to repair the house back and forth. Many farmers in the village repaired the house in this way. Third, the walls are in danger of being damaged or collapsed and need to be strengthened.
Second, there are hidden dangers in adding a wall to the wall. Although the wall is composed of independent masonry and sand cement blocks, or rammed by soil, once the masonry or foundation is completed, the wall becomes a whole, and all parts play an indispensable role in the stability of the wall.
However, if a new wall is superimposed on the old wall, the integrity of the joint between the old and new walls is not as good as other parts, and the old damaged wall may fall down if pushed hard. Therefore, when adding a new wall to an old wall, there is a method of fixing it with steel bars and buckles.
Third, for the sake of safety, the saying that "adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family" in rural areas is only alarmist and slightly exaggerated, as long as it is handled properly, but its purpose is also for the sake of safety to attract the attention of builders.
Huinong Circle will answer your questions! Rural friends are very particular about building houses. Many people believe in Feng Shui. When building a house, they will look for some feng shui before building a house. Because this will not bring unnecessary trouble, in the hearts of rural friends, building a house must first look at Feng Shui and build a house according to Mr. Feng Shui's instructions, so that it will be safe. Therefore, there are many proverbs in the countryside that we can't even think of, but they are very smooth by rural friends. Among them, there is a saying: "If you add a wall to the wall, your family will be destroyed." At first glance, you will find the words "Your family will be destroyed" particularly striking. So is there a scientific basis for this proverb? Or is it just the feudal superstition of rural friends?
In my opinion, this matter does have a scientific basis, not a feudal superstition of rural friends. Although rural friends are feudal and superstitious, with the continuous development of the times, their thoughts have also improved a lot. This proverb handed down from the older generation is not based on feudal superstition, but is real, so it will spread everywhere in the countryside.
In my hometown, there is such a family, because when building a house, it was not built according to the foundation of the building; However, due to the children's marriage, the family could not occupy the house, so they had to take over the building. Finally, it caused a terrible disaster. After several days of continuous heavy rain, the family's house finally collapsed under the soaking of rain. Fortunately, the family fled quickly, otherwise they would have been smashed in the house and the family was ruined.
Therefore, there is a scientific basis for the saying that "adding walls to the wall will destroy the family". If you want to add a wall to the wall, you must first see if the foundation of your house is stable. If the load-bearing wall is unstable, adding a wall is equivalent to tearing down the house yourself. If you want to add a wall to the wall, you need the foundation of the house to bear the weight of the wall. To connect buildings, you need to lay the foundation before and make it the foundation of the building, otherwise the house will collapse when it can't bear the weight.
Therefore, the saying that "the wall is built on the wall, and the family breaks down" circulating in rural areas is not a feudal superstition, but has a scientific basis. Therefore, the rural saying still has a certain basis, and we can't help but believe it.
