The ancients began to observe mountains and rivers for a long time and understood the influence of topography and context on people. Therefore, they invented Kanyu to find a suitable place to live in Feng Shui. They are convinced that if they can build a house on the treasure of Feng Shui, future generations will be blessed in the long run. Because of this, the ancient emperors and ordinary people paid attention to the layout according to a certain order and design plan when building houses, and pursued clear layers and different primary and secondary effects. A house laid out in this way is not only comfortable and safe, but also beautiful. The saying "the house is high at the entrance step, you must know that you will become rich in the future" was born in this context.
Folk feng shui masters have always attached great importance to the layout of houses, and they have summed up some rules of thumb, such as "the green dragon races the white tiger, the east kitchen is better than the west kitchen", "the gate is too grand, the family is ruined" and "it is better to lose money than to give up the house to the south" and so on. While these laws may sound a bit superstitious, they have been proven to provide a better quality of life. For example, according to folk tradition, the layout of the house should conform to certain principles. If the entire courtyard is compared to a universe, the gate is equivalent to a "portal" to the universe. In order to ensure good fortune, folk feng shui magicians believed that the height of the courtyard wall should not exceed the lower edge of the eaves. In this way, the family's financial resources will flow in continuously. If the courtyard walls are too high, then the courtyard looks like a cage, which is not auspicious. In addition, after entering the courtyard, the height of the main house should also conform to specific layout rules, that is, low in the front and high in the back. This was originally designed so that rainwater could run away from the front without eroding the foundations of the house. From the perspective of primary and secondary order, the layout of the back high implies the support of people behind it, and with the help of nobles, the chance of success is greater. In addition, the layout of the entire compound of the house can also reflect the order of the family structure. In general, in the process of building a house, starting from the courtyard gate and laying out according to the principle of one step at a time, you can achieve the effect of Pepsi smooth.
In rural areas, the family's residence is often dominated by courtyard houses, which is a unique way of life for farmers. In ancient times, when wars were constant, the courtyard walls of the courtyard provided protection from thieves and bandits. In addition, the courtyard walls can also store agricultural tools and raise poultry and livestock, which is very helpful for farmers' lives. In the courtyard, people usually build houses symmetrically in the east, west, and north directions. The west inghouse is regarded as a place of honor, with the east side being usually the ancestral hall and the west side being the family house. The orientation of the house is generally north and south, which is conducive to maintaining the effect of warm in winter and cool in summer, and achieving the purpose of prolonging life. In addition, an orderly layout according to the age and status of the family members is also a principle of house construction, because the best state of fortune is the state of going with nature. Only by following nature can we live a healthy and happy life. Therefore, in the process of building the house, it is necessary to plan reasonably from the courtyard gate, pay attention to step by step, and finally meet the design requirements of the "honorable" Westinghouse. The gate, as the "passageway" of the home, should follow the principle that the fence does not exceed the lower edge of the main eaves. Such a design is in line with the orderly aesthetics of the courtyard of the house, follows the laws of nature, and can make things run smoothly in the family.
However, the layout of the house alone does not guarantee that future generations will get ahead, and the layout of the house is only a symbol of beauty. If a family wants to cultivate outstanding offspring, it is very important to have a mellow family style and a well-educated family, and it is also very important for the family to be orderly and harmonious. Only children who grow up in such a family environment have a higher chance of success. Therefore, if you want to live a good life, you must not only rely on the layout of the house, but also achieve it through your own efforts and struggles.
The entrance to the house is high, and it is necessary to know that the rich man will be born in the future" is a beautiful sustenance for the layout of the house, which represents the working people's yearning for a better life. While believing in this layout, we must also understand that it is only a moral and cannot be achieved by relying solely on the layout of the house. In order to live a good life, we need to understand and uphold the importance of family style and family education, so that the family is harmonious and orderly. Only in such an environment can we nurture the next generation with potential and pave the way for their success. The layout of the house is only an auxiliary factor, which is able to provide a comfortable and wonderful living environment, but the ultimate success depends on the efforts and struggles of the individual. Therefore, no matter what kind of house layout we take, we should understand that we can only achieve a good life through our own efforts.
