In the countryside, competition to build a house is quite common, and everyone seems to be more in the clouds than whose new house is in the clouds; Even if it's even the slightest bit more, it's a win. This phenomenon breeds an unwritten rule: this year, if you have an extra layer of bricks on the roof than mine, then tomorrow my new house will have to add another layer to the roof of your house. In this way, year after year, the houses in the countryside are like bamboo shoots after rain, one by one.
For those owners whose houses have only been renovated for a few years and cannot be demolished and rebuilt immediately, the new houses in the neighborhood are jumping up one by one, and the itch in their hearts is there. What to do? There is a saying in the township, "If a family lives in a high-rise house, it is difficult for the family to prosper", and the wisdom revealed in this sentence is their way to break the situation. This method can not only solve the embarrassment of insufficient height of the house, but also do not need to smash the pot and sell iron to rebuild. What is a "high-rise house"? How did they solve this problem? What impact will this number have on the fate of feng shui at home? These questions are worth it.
Building a house in the village is like a high jump competition, and every family wants to jump a little higher than their neighbors. It's just a "high-rise relay race", you add a layer of bricks this year, and I will build another layer next year. Over time, the houses in the village have become mini-cities lined with high-rise buildings.
What about families whose houses have just been renovated and don't want to rebuild? There is a common saying on the lips of the villagers: "If the family lives in a high-rise house, the family will not be able to prosper." In fact, this is a kind of compromise building strategy: adding to the original house, turning the old house into two, and suddenly the house looks taller. This method is both economical and affordable, the problem of house height is swept away, and the condition of the house is directly upgraded, why not? But how can the vernacular say that living in such a house is not lucky?
Let's talk about the feng shui behind this high-rise house:
1.In the old days, Feng Shui masters focused on balance and harmony. The families in the same village, regardless of their status and wealth, are basically the same as the height of the houses. Such a residential group is said to be stable in feng shui and harmonious in yin and yang. Once you add an extra layer to the original house, it disrupts this balance, the yang energy is too strong, and the yin energy is insufficient, and the feng shui says that the house becomes a "lonely peak" on its own, like a crane standing in a flock of chickens, which will provoke unnecessary evil energy. Feng Shui says that living in this kind of house is bad luck for the family.
2.When the neighbors look at your family's "standing out from the crowd", can they not complain in their hearts? This has a direct impact on the harmony of the boundary. Sometimes, the undercurrent can be a bit of a contradiction. There is a saying in the countryside: "It is better for the green dragon to be tall than for the white tiger to look up." This means that if you add another layer to your neighbor's house on the right, it will be a good thing for your neighbor's house, because it represents the green dragon (the mascot of the East) flying high. However, if it is built on top of the house of the neighbor on the left, it will become a white tiger (a fierce beast in the West) raising its head, and it will be unlucky for the neighbor on the left. And it doesn't have a big impact on the family in front of your house, but the family behind your house, their feng shui is disrupted by the order of "former Vermilion Bird and then Xuanwu", and it is also affected.
When villagers build houses, they are fighting for height, just like a silent contest, which new house is higher than the neighbor's house even a little bit, it is considered a win. In this way, year after year, the house is like a bamboo shoot to the sky.
For those newly renovated houses, the owners are unwilling to overturn the results and start over, and they have mixed feelings in the face of the neighbors' high-rise buildings. There is a saying in the countryside: "If a family can afford a high-rise house, it will be difficult for the family to prosper", which is such a compromise strategy. What does that mean? To put it simply, it is to build another layer on the original roof, so that the original bungalow is transformed into a double-storey small building, and the appearance immediately increases the charm. This trick not only saves money, but also solves the urgent need of the height, and makes the grade of the house leap forward. Who wouldn't be happy about such a good thing? But what does the saying "a family is in decline and thriving" mean?
Let's talk about the hidden dangers of the house itself:
1.First and foremost is the issue of foundations. When the bungalows were built, the standard of the foundation was that as long as it could support the weight of the house at that time. If you suddenly add a section on the top, the pressure on the foundation will be doubled in an instant. If the foundation cannot withstand it, the walls will crack and the house will leak, or it will collapse, endangering lives.
2.Don't forget about the load-bearing of the walls. In the bungalow, the premise of the wall design is to withstand the roof on top. Especially in some old rural houses, the walls are still made of loess, which has a low safety factor. If you put pressure on it suddenly, how can the loess wall stand it. When the seasons change or rainy days, the cracks in the walls are crooked, and the safety hazards are very large.
3.Then there is the test of nature. As the old saying goes, "the wood is beautiful in the forest and the wind will destroy it", and the tree is too tall to withstand the fierce blows of monstrous waves, wind, rain, thunder and lightning. Our lofty house, too, will endure more tests from heaven. In the summer, thunderstorms and houses that are higher than the houses next to them are likely to become the targets of thunder and lightning, and if they are really struck by lightning, the consequences will be unimaginable.
4.Then there are those small conflicts between neighbors. Before, they were all bungalows, and everyone did not interfere with each other, and they were harmonious. But if your family is suddenly taller than others, the problem will come. For example, the lighting of the neighbor's house in the back is blocked, and you may even be able to see the small ** hanging in the yard of your house at one stop. When the weather is hot, rural people dress cooler and bask in the sun in their yards, do they feel as if they are being illuminated by a magnifying glass? These small contradictions can also cause a lot of trouble.
The old saying "if a family lives in a high-rise house, it is difficult for the family to prosper" seems to be less superstitious now, but occasionally some people believe it.
