As we all know, ancient Chinese khan yu (feng shui) is a unique science, by observing the mountains, rivers, water, topography to find feng shui treasure land, it is believed that if the house is built on feng shui treasure land, future generations can get blessings. Therefore, the ancients always paid attention to the layout of the house when building a house, and pursued a design with clear layers and different priorities, which not only made the house safe and comfortable, but also implied a better future. There is a saying in it, "The house is getting started step by step, and you must know that you will be rich in the future", so what does it mean?
This proverb means that when building a house, it should be gradually raised in a certain order, so that the height of the house is higher than the courtyard gate, and the house in the back is higher than the design concept of the front. Such a layout will enable future generations to achieve higher status and wealth. It may sound superstitious, but it has been proven that this type of housing can indeed bring a better quality of life to the occupants.
First, let's take a look at how rural people live. Most of the countryside is dominated by courtyard houses, and this layout originates from the period of frequent wars in ancient times. The construction of the courtyard wall not only protects the family from thieves and bandits, but also stores agricultural tools and raises poultry and livestock. The houses in the courtyard are generally built symmetrically in the east, west and north directions, among which the west house has the most noble status, the east side is the ancestral hall, the west side is the family house, and the north side faces south. This design can make it warm in winter and cool in summer, and prolong life.
The ancients often said that "a home cannot be left without an owner", so this principle should also be followed in the construction of houses. The elders and juniors have their own status, so that they can achieve the best state of fortune, and follow nature to maintain a healthy and smooth life. Therefore, when building a house, it is necessary to plan in advance from the courtyard gate, step by step, until the "honorable position" of the Westinghouse. The gate is the "passage" of the family, so as the saying goes, "the gate of the wall should not be high or low, and the owner of the house should not be separated from his wife", which means that the height of the wall should not exceed the height of the lower eaves of the main house, so as to benefit the family's continuous financial resources. If the fence is too high, the courtyard looks like a cage, bringing an ominous meaning. Therefore, in such a design, the height of the gate is naturally lower than the height of the eaves under the main roof.
Entering the courtyard, the height of the main house is also a layout that is short in front and high in the back. The original design concept was to allow rainwater to flow smoothly from the front of the house, rather than washing to the front of the house and then flowing away again. Flowing water can soften the foundation, leading to an increased risk of the house sinking. From the perspective of primary and secondary order, the house in the back is higher than the front, which means that there are people behind it, and with the help of nobles, the chance of success is higher. From an overall point of view, the layout of the house courtyard also reflects the order of the family structure, conforms to nature, and creates a favorable environment for future generations to succeed in their careers, studies and relationships.
However, it should be noted that this layout is only the sustenance of the beautiful minds of the ancients. If you want future generations to get ahead, in addition to building a reasonable house layout, you also need a good family atmosphere, good education, mutual respect between the elders and younger generations, and filial piety to mothers and children. Only children raised in such a family environment can have a greater chance of success. Therefore, if you want to live a good life, it is not enough to rely on the layout of the house, you also need to constantly work hard and struggle.
In short, the saying "the house is high at the beginning, and you need to know that you will become rich in the future" represents people's yearning for a better life. This kind of well-layered and comfortable design of the house layout can indeed bring a certain amount of luck blessings to future generations, making it easier for them to succeed in their careers. However, we should be aware that in addition to the layout of the house, there are many other factors that affect people's fate and wealth. Therefore, if we want to achieve our dreams and goals, only through hard work can we make our lives better.
