Mendang? Hudui

I believe everyone is familiar with the word "suitable for each other", which is often heard in our daily life, especially when the elderly talk about their children's marriage.

When people say "the right match", it probably means that the social status and economic situation of both men and women who intend to get married should be the same, so marriage is appropriate.

Sometimes "suitable for each other" is also used to mean that people have the same status and things are symmetrical.

In short, it means a good match. It's a bit like a folk saying that "fish with fish, shrimp with shrimp, turtle with turtle". Although the words are practical, they just illustrate the truth that suits each other.

So, what exactly is "door to door" and "door to door"? I really didn't know this problem before today, and I didn't understand it until I read an article about ancient buildings just now. Now I'll sort it out and let interested friends know the relevant knowledge.

In fact, "door-to-door" and "door-to-door" originally refer to two important components of doors in ancient architecture.

"Door Dang" is a pair of flat stone piers or drums located opposite the door in China traditional architecture (people think that they can avoid ghosts and exorcise evil spirits because drums are magnificent), including drum-hugging stones and general door pillows.

In ancient times, different levels of families were also very strict. The doors placed on both sides of the gate are round military officers, symbolizing the war drums, indicating that this family has meritorious military service; The square is a civil servant, symbolizing inkstone, schoolbag, book box and so on. It shows that this family has a position by reading.

The doorman has the architectural function of fixing the gatehouse, and it is also the door decoration art that marks the master's rank and status. Together with the threshold, door leaf and door frame, it produces an ancient and elegant overall artistic decoration aesthetic feeling, which is a symbol of auspiciousness, blessing and avoiding evil spirits. And with the building reflect each other, harmonious and unified, play the role of finishing touch, become an indispensable part of traditional residential buildings.

Door to door is also one of the traditional buildings in China. Opposite the door are cylindrical wood carvings (brick carvings) protruding from the lintel, most of which are engraved with Swiss animals and rare birds. Because it usually appears in even numbers, it is named "household pair".

According to the family situation, the number of families is divided into 2, 4, 6 and 8. Above the "door-to-door" is the lintel, on which a plaque can be hung to record the glorious deeds of the family.

Household pairs are purely cylindrical, marked as civil servants, and hexagonal square columns are military officers, which can be used to hang lanterns during family fun. The number of "household pairs" is directly proportional to the size of official products. One to five products can be six, six to seven products can be four, and ordinary large households can also have two. Only the emperor's palace can have nine, which means the statue of Jiuding.

According to the principle of harmonious aesthetics in architecture, a house with a "door" in front of the gate must have a "door pair", so "door" and "door pair" are often called the same door. In addition to the role of town house decoration, they are also an important symbol of the owner's identity, status and family circumstances. As a result, "the right match" and "the right match" gradually evolved into the standard for measuring the marital status of men and women in social concepts.

In fact, when I visited ancient buildings before, I often saw doorways and doorways, but I didn't know their names and meanings, nor did I know or ask them, so I didn't know their relevant knowledge until now.

From this point of view, everything in the world is learned everywhere, so we should pay attention to observation at ordinary times and ask if we don't understand.

I can't upload pictures now because of network problems. I will upload some pictures about "matching each other" and "matching each other" for teachers and friends to enjoy. )
