People are very particular about the layout of the house.
There is a saying in the countryside: "If you are not afraid of the pond behind the house, you are afraid of carrying the sedan house".
So, what does this mean? What does the sedan room refer to? Does it make sense?
"Don't be afraid of ponds behind the house" means that in rural areas, people usually dig ponds in front of their homes or behind their houses to store water for daily drinking water and irrigation.
Especially in the south, water is seen as a symbol of wealth.
Digging a pond can not only be used to irrigate grain fields, but also to raise fish and grow lotus roots to meet the needs of daily life.
However, in the north, due to the influence of traditional beliefs, people generally do not dig large pits in front of and behind the house.
If you want to dig a pond, you usually choose a place away from your house.
In particular, the pond behind the house can pose a serious safety threat to the foundation of the house in the event of bad weather.
I am afraid of lifting the sedan chair" means that people in rural areas are very particular about the location and layout of houses.
The usual rural houses sit in the north and face south, following the layout of the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right.
The houses built in this way are well ventilated and have good lighting, making them very suitable for living.
However, if the house is built between two mountains or between two tall objects, this architectural layout is called a "sedan house".
There are many hidden dangers in such a house, such as erosion by wind, rain and snow, and humidity in all seasons.
In addition, if the house is built between two large mountains, it may also face the threat of natural disasters such as mudslides and even collapse.
The sedan room is a metaphor for images.
It is usually divided into "work" and "well".
The so-called "work" house refers to the inconsistency between the height of the north and south houses and the height of the east and west houses, and such a house looks like a sedan chair carried by people.
Because of the inconsistent heights, low houses can be dark and damp.
Moreover, the homonym of the word "work" is "attack", which means unlucky.
The "well" house refers to the fact that the house is surrounded by a road, and from above it looks like a "well".
Such houses are located on the side of multiple roads, and fast-moving cars pose a great safety hazard to them.
At the same time, the house is in the middle of four roads, it is poorly ventilated, it is hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and the occupants are not in good spirits.
Moreover, the word "well" means that the family is trapped, and it is difficult for the family to get ahead, which is not conducive to the prosperity of the family.
With the development of the times, people's lives are undergoing earth-shaking changes.
From thatched huts to high-rise buildings, from hunger and cold to abundant food and clothing.
This rural proverb "If you are not afraid of the pond behind the house, you are afraid of carrying the sedan car", is the experience of the ancient working people on the long-term living environment conditions in the past.
At the same time, it is also warning future generations to have a sense of distress that "people have no foresight, they must have near-term worries", and pay attention to the safety of the house.
Therefore, only by keeping safety in mind can people live in this world in peace.
