The wisdom of the ancestors, the analysis and scientific explanation of the residential culture

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-01-21

Ancient wisdom has been passed down for thousands of years, and the knowledge of dwellings occupies an important place in the traditions of our ancestors. Among the various theories they left behind, it was not easy to find a home that was considered auspicious. Although many houses, even if the feng shui is not good, most of them only need to break the bank to avoid disasters. However, the house that the ancestors warned about "the family is ruined" has attracted much attention. This article will ** the relationship between residential culture and feng shui, and analyze the ancestors' views on "lifting the sedan house".

The evolution of Feng Shui to the present day has mainly been to choose auspicious places for people. Even today, when science is paramount, Feng Shui theory can explain many phenomena that science cannot cover. In residential theory, the environment is most closely related to Feng Shui.

In the early Tang Dynasty, Li Chunfeng's theory of the orientation of the eight houses through the well established a framework for residential feng shui. The art of Xiangdi became one of the five traditional techniques commonly used in Feng Shui. The end of science seems to be metaphysics, and Feng Shui masters tend to be hidden scientists. For example, they emphasise the importance of north-south orientation for living, based on geographical knowledge to ensure good daylight and shelter from the elements.

In traditional folklore, carrying a sedan chair usually symbolizes a happy event, but "carrying a sedan chair" is regarded as a taboo. This usually happens in rural areas, where people build houses in order to show their status, making the house stand taller than their neighbors, forming the so-called "sedan house".

This type of house is called the "two ghost sedan chairs", and the low houses on both sides look like small ghosts, and the high one in the middle looks like a sedan chair being lifted. Living in it can lead to troubles at least and at worst it may lead to the destruction of the family. In Feng Shui, the low shoulders of the house are considered to be evil, while the "sedan house" is self-inflicted, so it is strongly not respected in Feng Shui.

From a scientific point of view, there are differences between the north and the south in the sedan house. In the north, the ideal orientation is to sit north and face south, as the winter is cold and wet, while sitting north and facing south can absorb sunlight and keep the interior relatively warm. However, if the house is built into a sedan car, the sun will change the angle of illumination, resulting in extremely cold winters, and in summer, it may cause poor indoor ventilation, damp heat and mold. This situation is milder in the southern climate, and the impact on the car house is relatively small.

Northerners value the sophistication of people, and the country dwellings are highly consistent. However, some people build sedan houses to show off their status, which leads to tensions with their neighbors. The article illustrates this point with the real case of a villager surnamed Zhou. He pursued a high-rise building in the southern style, but was ostracized by his neighbors, resulting in the tragic end of his family's ruin.

To a certain extent, the experience of our ancestors is worth learning from. Carrying a sedan chair can be unruly in feng shui, adversely affecting the environment and science, and can also be abrupt in interpersonal relationships. Therefore, it should not be built haphazardly just for the sake of aesthetics. For the sedan house, you can choose to rebuild the civil construction on an auspicious day, and build the two sides high or the middle low to balance the height of the house.

Although Feng Shui lacks scientific basis, young people are skeptical of it and consider it to be feudal superstition. However, there is wisdom in the experience of our ancestors, which is worth thinking about in modern society. When building a house, in addition to the pursuit of aesthetics, feng shui and environmental factors should also be considered to ensure the health and happiness of the occupants.

Commentary: The collision of conventional wisdom and modern ideas.

This article delves into the application of ancient wisdom in modern society, especially with regard to the study of housing and Feng Shui. Although the wisdom left by our ancestors has been labeled as feudal superstition in modern society, the philosophy and practicality contained in it are worthy of our reflection.

First of all, the article starts from the relationship between feng shui and residential knowledge, and emphasizes the unique insights of ancient sages in environmental choice. Even in today's highly developed science and technology, the concept of sitting north facing south and good lighting still has its reasonableness. This shows that the insight of the ancients in environmental science and life experience can be referred to to a certain extent.

Secondly, for the discussion of "carrying the sedan house", the article combines traditional concepts with scientific perspectives, and shows the impact of climate differences between the north and the south on the construction of houses. This contrast reveals the usefulness of ancient Feng Shui, as well as its rationality in specific geographical circumstances. Through a practical case, the article vividly shows the adverse effects that can be brought about by the sedan house, so that readers can better understand the value of ancient wisdom in modern society.

However, the article also mentions the skepticism of modern young people towards Feng Shui. To a certain extent, this attitude reflects the progress of science and technology and the popularization of rational thinking in modern society. However, can we deny the full value of conventional wisdom?In the case of the article, a villager who pursued a southern-style high-rise ended up in a difficult situation, does this also reflect to some extent the extreme tendency of modern society to pursue the individual and reject tradition?

Overall, through an in-depth analysis of traditional wisdom, this article enables readers to better understand the connotation of Feng Shui and provokes reflections on traditional and modern concepts. While pursuing modern technology, we should perhaps also respect and understand traditional culture more, so as to build a better home while absorbing the wisdom of the ancients and realizing the organic combination of tradition and modernity.
