With the development and improvement of rural areas, the environment in rural areas has become very beautiful and livable, attracting more and more urban residents to come to the countryside to build their own houses to enjoy the natural beauty and quiet life. However, due to the limited number of homesteads, even the residents of the village need to wait several months to obtain a homestead, which makes rural housing a scarce resource. Since a home is not only a shelter from the elements, but also a place for people to settle down, the comfort and safety of the home are the most important considerations before building a home.
Site selection is a crucial part of rural housing construction. As the saying goes, "don't break the house, it will be broken for three generations", which means that the location of the house cannot be in the fault zone, otherwise it will endanger the safety of three generations of the family. A fault is a fracture or cavity under the earth's surface formed by the movement of the earth's crust. Faults vary in size, from less than a meter to hundreds of meters in size, and the ground can sink or collapse beyond its load. Some faults are caused by human overexploitation of underground resources, such as oil, natural gas, solid minerals, and groundwater. Therefore, when choosing a home address, it is essential to avoid areas where faults exist to prevent ground subsidence or subsidence.
Houses in rural areas are generally second- or third-generation dwellings. One generation has about 20 years, and three generations have about 60 years. In such a long period of time, if a house is built on a fault, there is a huge risk. Once the ground suddenly sinks or collapses, the fate of the family will come to an abrupt end. Therefore, the site selection must not be cautious, and attention must be paid to choosing a safe location when building a house in rural areas.
Some natural phenomena and colloquialisms can be used to roughly determine whether the location has potential safety hazards. For example, the proverbial "pit house, bridge house" refers to a house built on a puddle, pond or bridge, where the foundation is unstable and increases the danger of the house. In addition, if the house is built in a place where rainwater flows to a concentrated area, it is susceptible to flooding. Also, it is not wise to build a house close to the well water, as the presence of well water may cause the ground to sink. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention to these details when selecting a site to avoid unfavorable locations.
In conclusion, building a house is a major event in life, and the safety of the house is of paramount importance. When building a house in the countryside, choosing the right location is very crucial. As the saying goes, "Don't break a house when you build a house, it will be broken for three generations", this proverb reminds us not to choose a place where there is a fault to build a house, so as not to endanger the lives of family members. Pay attention to natural phenomena and use the inspiration of proverbs to avoid areas with poor geological conditions. Only by choosing a safe location can you ensure the stability of the house and the peace of mind of the family.
As a personal summary, I think choosing a location to build a house is a very complex and important decision. It is necessary to consider not only the factors of high terrain and no faults, but also whether the surrounding environment is suitable for living, such as whether there is convenient transportation, whether there is good security and community supporting facilities, etc. In addition, in the process of building a house, it is also necessary to ensure the quality of construction and avoid the potential safety hazards caused by the use of inferior materials and non-standard construction. For rural houses, it is not only a place to live, but also a place for generations to live, so we must be cautious when choosing a site and not ignore safety issues for the sake of temporary convenience. It is hoped that more people will be aware of this and provide more useful suggestions and guidance for rural housing construction, so as to make rural housing construction safer and more reliable.
