China is a country with a 5,000-year-old culture, and in this 5,000-year-long history, our ancestors have left us many valuable cultural treasures. In many traditional cultures, there is a saying that "four things can't be put in the living room", what are these four things?Why can't it be placed in the living room?Let's take a look at it together.
First, let's take a look at these four things. They are: swords, murder weapons, idols, and ancestral tablets. These four things are considered unlucky in traditional culture, so they cannot be placed in public areas such as living rooms.
So, why are these four things considered unlucky?
First, let's talk about swords and murder weapons. In ancient times, swords and murder weapons were tools used to protect one's home and oneself. However, in a modern society, we no longer need these tools to protect ourselves. On the contrary, having them in the living room can give an unsettling feeling because they can make people think of violence and danger. In addition, from the perspective of Feng Shui, swords and murder weapons are also prone to bring evil and yin energy, which is not conducive to the harmony and health of the family.
Secondly, let's take a look at the statues and ancestral tablets. For many Chinese, idols are objects of their faith and worship, and ancestral tablets are their way of honoring their ancestors. However, it is not a wise practice to place idols and ancestral tablets in the living room. On the one hand, it can disrupt the family's daily life, as the living room is a place for the family to rest, socialize and entertain. On the other hand, from a Feng Shui perspective, deities and ancestral tablets should be placed in the right place in order to better perform their functions. If it is placed in the wrong place, it will not only not bring good luck, but will invite unnecessary trouble and trouble.
So, how can we avoid having these four things in the living room?
First of all, for swords and murder weapons, we should keep them in a safe place, such as a safe or a specific sword holder. If there are children or pets in the house, you should pay more attention to the safe placement of the sword to avoid accidents. At the same time, we can also choose not to buy or possess these unsafe items to ensure the safety and harmony of the family.
Secondly, for the statues of the gods and the tablets of the ancestors, we should put them in their proper places. In general, the idol should be placed on an auspicious position in the home, such as an auspicious position in the home or in a temple. Ancestral tablets should be placed in the ancestral hall or mourning hall at home. When placing the statues of gods and ancestral tablets, we should also pay attention to some details. For example, the orientation of the statues and ancestral tablets should correspond to the birth date of the owner of the family in order to better play their role. In addition, we can choose not to place statues of gods and ancestral tablets, but to use other ways to commemorate our ancestors or express our faith and worship.
In addition to the four items mentioned above, there are a few other items that are also considered unlucky. For example, some people believe that depictions or ornaments of beasts bring evil and yin energy;Others believe that red items bring blood. Although there is no scientific basis for these claims, they are still believed by many people. Therefore, when choosing home decorations, we should also pay attention to the taboos of these traditional cultures.
In short, "four things can't be put in the living room" is part of traditional Chinese culture. While these taboos may no longer be applicable in modern society, they still have a certain revelatory significance. They tell us that when choosing home décor items, we should focus on safety, harmony and cultural heritage. Only in this way can we create a homely that is warm, comfortable, and meaningful.
