As the saying goes: "* three don't put it, the family is not prosperous after putting it", is it really particular to put **? What does it mean?
As the saying goes:"If you don't post three **, you can't post the house successfully"。What does this mean, does it really need to be taken seriously?
In traditional Chinese culture, funeral rites are a deep cultural emotion that binds people together. The core value of this bond can be summed up in one short but profound word: filial piety.
When loved ones are still alive, filial piety is embedded in the details of daily life, embodied in every selfless dedication to elderly parents, whether it is preparing a bowl of rice for them, washing their feet once, or selflessly accompanying them in their old age. These behaviors are not public, but they naturally reveal the deepest love for their loved ones.
After the death of the deceased, the expression of filial piety seems to be limited to going to the grave to sweep the grave. At this time, the expression of family affection becomes more serious and touching, and the adopted sons and daughters express their thoughts and respect for the deceased through silent actions. Burning incense and offering during tomb sweeping is a way to express filial piety to the deceased. Although this expression is simple, it contains a deep sense of family and country and eternal nostalgia for the ancestors.
Therefore, true filial piety must start small. We can't wait until we are gray-haired and old-fashioned to regret not honoring our parents. Life is an unpredictable journey, and we can't predict when we'll leave. So, when our loved ones are in good health, we must cherish the time we spend with them, treat them with heart, and never give up on them.
Life will eventually pass away, and the once vast sky will become black and white on the wall**. At this moment, the emotion surging in my heart is indescribable. The passing of the deceased makes people feel the fragility and transience of life. It is also a time of reflection and we realize that we must cherish the present moment, genuinely love our family and respect life. Perhaps it is precisely because of the shortness of life that filial piety is more precious and profound.
Our ancestors left us a precious rule:"**, the portrait of the three things can not be placed, put it will be scattered, people will die, and the family will not prosper"。This proverb that has been handed down expresses a profound concept and seems to be a unique understanding of home feng shui.
This notion is based on the idea that a painting or portrait can never be placed in three specific places in the home. Perhaps because of the flow of energy or the ancient symbolism of these places, it was believed that if this rule was broken, wealth would flee and good fortune would dissipate. This seemingly superstitious traditional notion actually reflects people's desire for family happiness and respect for the laws of nature.
Before the advent of the camera, portraiture was the protagonist of an artist's talent. Each painting is the result of the artist's mind, who uses their skills to depict a realistic image of the human figure. This unique art form carries the cultural heritage of the times, not only a precious home decoration, but also a reminiscence of the past and a tribute to the sages.
Even in today's digital age, there are still many people who pursue the beauty of art and spend a lot of money on artists to paint portraits of themselves. These works are not just static images, they also have a spiritual presence. And portraits are no longer just portraits in the hands of artists, but expressions of emotions and the continuation of family traditions.
The development of technology has brought new ways for people. With the invention of the camera, direct photography became the most common way. It's a convenient way to make it easier for people to record the moments in their lives and keep every precious moment forever. Digital storage allows people to enjoy these memories anytime, anywhere, which has become an inevitable product of technological development.
* Although they are very different from portraits in terms of expression, their common essence is to capture and preserve beautiful moments, keep them as memories, and communicate with them at the right time. The importance of both in people's spiritual world was born"Three no's"The traditional saying adds a layer of mysterious traditions and customs to people's home life.
First of all, this traditional rule emphasizes that there must be no ** and portraits in the foyer. Here, we need to take a deep dive into the design concept of Chinese home furnishings, one of the most important elements is:"Foyer"。The foyer, like the doorway, is a transitional space between the entrance and the main hall, but it has a deeper meaning in traditional East Asian architecture"Hidden", representing the passage between the exterior and interior of the dwelling.
When people open their homes, the first thing they see is the entrance. In this space, people will feel serene and peaceful when they enter the door.
If you put a ** or portrait in the entrance, it is easy for people to produce one"The man has passed away, leaving behind an elaborate family portrait"A special feeling. Such an arrangement will fill the home space with sadness and desolation, making the entrance a sad transition space rather than a warm home.
Such a layout can initially feel uncomfortable, especially in front of guests. In Chinese culture, the foyer is considered to be a place where wealth and good fortune gather, and it is also one of the focuses of Feng Shui. Placing ** or portrait here is tantamount to setting up obstacles in this important space, hindering the flow of wealth and blessings, which is full of unlucky implications.
A deeper understanding is that in Chinese Feng Shui, the hallway is seen as a weather vane, or the presence of a portrait is like standing on a weather vane, as an ominous omen.
People want a smooth flow of energy in their homes and don't want to be obstructed at critical entrances. Standing on a weather vane means facing strong winds directly and is culturally seen as a symbol of danger, so placing a ** or painting in the foyer can cause psychological resistance.
Ancient wisdom is also associated with cooking. The kitchen is considered one"Smoky fire"place. If you hang a picture on the wall separating the kitchen,"Fire"It will spread to the whole house. Here"Fire"It refers not only to the source of fire, but also to disputes and conflicts between family members.
Therefore, placing ** near the kitchen will lead to disharmony in the whole house, which no one wants to see.
Secondly, it is important to note that both the kitchen and the toilet are places where water is used, the former produces hot steam, and the latter is used for bathing, which to some extent causes the walls to be damp.
If the precious ** and portrait are hung on the other side of the wall, in such a humid environment, time will affect these artifacts, causing them to turn yellow, crack or even deteriorate. This is undoubtedly a great loss for portraits and ** with high artistic value or emotional significance.
Although"If people don't take pictures, their homes don't prosper"The traditional narrative may seem exaggerated and even outdated in modern times, but we modern people can revisit this ancient wisdom with a more open mind. To do this, we need to reflect on the connotations of these ancient sayings and find out what makes sense of them. After all, these propositions stem from the accumulated experience of our ancestors and contain expectations for family and happiness.
We can take the essence of the traditional proverb and remove the dross, without sticking to its true meaning on the surface. These proverbs may involve some kind of concern for the family environment and family well-being.
When we place ** and portraits, we may not have to be too deliberate to place them within the constraints of tradition. Tables, bookshelves, living room walls, etc., are all very suitable options, and it is important to harmonize with the layout of the entire house. Respecting practicality and comfort while pursuing beauty is a match made in heaven.
In modern society, we have greater freedom of choice to carefully arrange ** and portraits according to personal preferences and family needs and use them as part of home décor. This arrangement is more in line with modern people's pursuit of individuality in the home environment, which can not only express emotions, but also not be bound by stereotypes and traditional customs.
In this atmosphere of free choice, ** and portrait can be subtly integrated into the home design, making it unique and personal. Carefully matched and placed, these artworks can become the highlight of a room, adding warmth and vibrancy to the home.
Whether it's a bookcase in the study, a wall in the living room or a bedside table in the bedroom, it can be an ideal place to abode and portraits that showcase the owner's unique taste and lifestyle.
In short, the ingenious fusion of tradition and modernity allows us to create our own comfortable space more freely while inheriting the wisdom of our ancestors. When placing ** and portraits, the combination of reason and inspiration is particularly important. We have the flexibility to choose the right place and way to place the house according to the overall atmosphere, décor style and personal preferences.
