Will the rain from the neighbor's house flow to your own house?
In many cultures, it is considered unlucky for someone else's family to rain on their own house, because it may mean bringing good luck to others' family. This belief originated in ancient times, when people believed that rain could bring life and prosperity. If other people's rain falls on their own houses, people are worried that it will bring good luck and prosperity to other people's homes.
However, this belief may no longer be common in modern society. In terms of architectural design and rainy season management, we pay more attention to the drainage system of houses and the flow direction of rainwater, so as to avoid rainwater from neighbors from flowing into our house. Therefore, if you are worried about this situation, you can consider designing a suitable drainage system when building a house, or avoid standing under other people's houses in rainy days.
Generally speaking, people in modern society pay more attention to practical problems and effective solutions than some traditional beliefs.
