Superstition that feng shui masters destroy people.
It's just that life is too short for us to experience all the setbacks personally, so there is no hope for life. In order to spend more time and energy on meaningful things, people should learn from others' experience, learn from others with an open mind, avoid falling where others fall, and avoid wasting their thoughts on proven mistakes.
Compared with other creatures, the reason why human beings have made such rapid progress is also inseparable from the inheritance of wisdom and experience. So far, human beings are the only species on the earth that can inherit civilization by using the media such as writing, painting, architecture and porcelain treasures. He can develop science and technology, culture and ideas more and more advanced in the accumulation of thousands of years. Today, he has far surpassed other animals, which shows that learning and inheritance are very important.
There are many ways for human beings to spread their experience. Besides relying on art and culture, proverbs are also a way for predecessors to pass on their experience to future generations, which was very common in the past. When the elders at home see that the younger generation has made mistakes, they always add a few proverbs to their chatter, so that the younger generation can know how to be a better person.
Proverbs are often as catchy as ballads, easy to understand and reflect certain truth. They are a way of daily communication of predecessors' experience and wisdom, and also some advice from ancestors to future generations.
So proverbs are not necessarily ignorant. On the premise of learning to distinguish and think, we might as well listen to their views. It may give you some inspiration in life, or make you fall less.
For example, the phrase "the grave in front of the door, the water behind the house, the loser dies, and the son does not return" is the advice left by the elders to the younger generation according to their own life experience. So, what does this sentence mean? If you make this mistake, are the consequences really that terrible? We might as well know more about it, which is beneficial to our life.
According to the literal meaning of this proverb, the content is related to architectural feng shui. Maybe many young people in modern times don't believe in Feng Shui, and they think it's mysterious and even superstitious, but those business leaders generally pay great attention to Feng Shui, and it's a set of knowledge handed down from the ancients. We can remain skeptical, but we can't completely deny it at the beginning.
As we all know, there is a magnetic field on the earth, which has a very important influence on people's physical and even mental health. Then, from the popular surface meaning, Feng Shui can be understood as a magnetic field and an environmental condition. In any case, living in a good residence will make people happier physically and mentally, healthier physically and mentally, and do things more smoothly.
With the improvement of modern economic level, people's living conditions are getting better and better. Even in poor and backward rural areas in the past, farmers basically bought cars and built small buildings. At the same time, farmers still have farmland in their hands. They raise chickens with all kinds of fruits and vegetables in a convenient life every day, and their lives are quite moist, even making many stressed city people envy such pastoral songs.
In a word, home is a very important harbor, so building a house is a major event in life, regardless of the past, present and future. And it is impossible to build a house several times in one's life. After all, building a house requires a lot of savings, manpower and time, so it is natural to be cautious when building a new house.
People in China are more concerned about Feng Shui. Generally speaking, before building a new house, they will carefully design and invite a master to look at Feng Shui, so as to arrange the orientation of the master bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, gate and window, and see how to build the most auspicious and appropriate one. In rural areas, there is a taboo in building a house, that is, there is a grave in front of the house and water behind it.
There is a grave in front of the house and water behind it. Add the second half of the sentence, "the loser dies, and the son does not return", that is, there is a grave in front of the door and water behind the house, which is very bad and will have a negative impact on the family. Then, why is the house in such an environment not good?
First, look at the grave in front of the house. A grave is a place to bury the dead. In people's eyes, it is gloomy and unlucky, but the door is the entrance to receive blessings. It is unlucky if there is a grave at the door.
In addition, the ancients believed that people would go to another world after death, and they would choose a place near mountains and water for their dead relatives, so that their souls could rest in peace and protect future generations. Some people may think that this is a superstition. After all, according to the current scientific cognition, people seem to have no reincarnation, but from the spiritual level, it is also a fear of life and death. If we regard it as a culture, there is nothing wrong with it.
What is the basis of "there is water behind the house"? The foundation of the house must be firm. If there is water behind the house and the foundation is soaked in water for a long time, over time, there will be a danger that the house will collapse. So we must pay attention to this problem when building a house.
Now people build houses with reinforced concrete, so they are not so afraid of being soaked by water. But in the past, most new houses in rural areas were built of wood. If they are soaked in water, they will be corroded and the house will not last long. In addition, people are more suitable to live in a refreshing and dry environment. If you live in a humid place for a long time, you are also prone to get sick and affect your health.
As for the second half of the sentence, "the loser dies without children", it was deliberately exaggerated by the ancients to highlight the seriousness of this matter as a warning.
To sum up, many proverbs are a kind of life wisdom handed down by predecessors, not superstitions, but some truths are not so applicable with the development of the times.
