"The city gate is too big, and the family is ruined." Why do old people often say that?

First of all, let me explain which room the "hall" in the countryside refers to. The hall refers to the first room entered from the door of the house, where the houses in the countryside are fragrant. This room is very elegant and is called "the first room". So does this sentence make sense? I think it makes sense, but it's not that exaggerated. First of all, if this hall is not well done, it will look unsightly and unsightly. If the gate exceeds the height of the hall, from a scientific point of view, the surrounding water will be lower, and the place where the water is accumulated will of course be wetter than other places. People living in wet places for a long time will definitely have an impact on their health.

Another important reason is that superstitions in rural areas are relatively strong. For example, when building a house in the countryside, we should choose auspicious days and auspicious days, and we should also pay attention to the direction of the prince and the three evil spirits. We should not conflict with these two things, and there are many left dragons and right white tigers, former Suzaku and later Xuanwu. When building a house in the countryside, we must pay attention to these. If you don't pay attention to others, you will make irresponsible remarks and feel uncomfortable when you hear it. After a long time, you will be upset.

Why is there a saying that "the door is too big, and the family is ruined?" Building a gate in the countryside has its customs and traditions. Why did the yamen of the ancient rulers face south? It can be seen that the direction of the gate must be very important. Therefore, most people usually open their doors in front, that is, open the south gate like the ancient yamen. People think that opening the door in this direction can bring in more steam or wealth. In another case, there is a saying that purple gas comes from the east, so the door is generally opened in the south near the east, so that more local gas can be included.

Rural people attach great importance to building the gate, because it is the general entrance and exit of the whole family, the main channel for the whole family to contact with the external space, such as a person's throat, and the first barrier for the whole family to avoid misfortune. The feng shui at the door directly affects the safety of the whole family, the rich and the poor, the fortune and so on. Therefore, there is a saying that "the family is too big and the family is ruined." When building a house, the height of the courtyard gate should not be higher than the height of the hall, otherwise something bad may happen.
