Rural people build houses, why don't neighbors let others build taller than their own homes?

Because the traditional thought in rural areas is that houses represent family power, it will be obvious to compare with each other.

This phenomenon can be seen in many rural areas of China.

Tell a story of my relative: I remember that my grandmother used to build a four-story house like the next-door neighbor, but the next-door neighbor later built a half-story, so my uncle also built a solar water reservoir on the roof of my grandmother's house, which was more than 3 meters higher than the next-door neighbor's house. This is a typical story of building a house and competing with each other.

The house is a great event for China people, especially in rural areas, which symbolizes the wealth, size and strength of your family, so it is very important. Even if rural people go out to work to earn money, they have to go back to their hometown to build houses, and the comparison between them begins. When the old Li family's house is built, Lao Zhang's family will call and tell their son who works far away from the coast: When he comes home this year, he must pay for building a big house or renovating the old house. You see, Lao Li's son built a new house next door ... this comparison is very common.

If your house is small, you will be looked down upon by others and think that your economic strength is not good.

In rural areas, everyone is familiar with it, and the comparison between acquaintances is actually more obvious, especially between the same surname and the foreign surname. For example, I have a colleague, Xu Jiaren. Her family lives in a village with a few Xu people, but there are many people in the same village, so she will be ignored and bullied from time to time. The elders in their family educate their offspring, that is, to get ahead and fight for breath. Xu's children study hard, and she is excellent from primary school to university, because this is the motivation inspired by the collective subconscious.

Speaking of which, don't think that there is no comparison in the city. People in the city live in bungalows, which are as big as houses, but they will be worse than or even worse in other aspects, such as high-end cars, schools where children go, grades, luxury bags ... as long as they are people, they will have the mentality of comparing. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!

Therefore, the proportion of building houses in rural areas is a microcosm of human comparison behavior.
