There is a saying in the countryside: "East house and south house are unfilial". What does it mean?

The Chinese culture is profound and has a long history, as well as traditional culture and folk culture, so there are countless folk proverbs and sayings in China since ancient times.

Although these proverbs are only circulated among the people, the profound sentences in these words are very worthy of people's scrutiny and really need someone to deeply interpret them.

Some of these proverbs pay attention to being a man, some pay attention to life tricks, and some pay attention to the laws of climate and weather changes. I really want to sigh that the working people in China have been very wise since ancient times.

What's more, there are some folk sayings in China, and the profound truth it tells is not just one of them. This is what we want to say in this article.

There used to be a saying among the people that "you are an unfilial fool". At first glance, it must be talking about being a man and being a child and filial to parents.

But the first half of the sentence "East Room and South Room" was ignored. What is "East Room and South Room"? What do these four words mean? Why is it associated with filial piety? This article will lead many readers to interpret this proverb together!

Before reading this proverb, we should know that, first of all, because it has something to do with houses, the first thing to say is China's emphasis on building houses, especially the emphasis on folk building houses in ancient times.

For people in ancient China, houses and residences were different from what they are now. Now most people spend money on it. In the past, people built them themselves. Since they built them themselves, they will choose their favorite way and style to repair them.

However, since ancient times, especially for people in the north of China, they have accumulated many years of experience and wisdom, knowing that the house facing south is the best and most comfortable, so building a house facing south is the first choice.

But we also know that houses facing south can be repaired, but there are many quadrangles in the north, that is, houses facing south exist in one yard.

But the East-West Wing and the South House should also be built, because only in this way can a yard be built for the whole family to live together.

Since houses have been built in the north, south, east and west, there is a problem, that is, because of the different orientations and sizes, these houses have the distinction between primary and secondary and superior. In this case, how should the house be divided?

This is a big problem, especially if there is a son at home and the son is married. Who should live in that house? We need to think about it. It also involves what we call filial piety.

Before considering dividing the house, we should also consider why when building a house in the north, people will choose to build the house in the south direction if conditions permit.

First of all, we know that the weather in the north is different from that in the south, which is drier than that in the south. It is important that the weather in the north is colder than that in the south.

In such cold weather, if people build a house, they will first consider the warmth of the house, which can play a role in keeping out the cold in the cold winter.

Then building the house "facing south" can play this role, and the sunshine time is longer than other houses to avoid some moisture entering.

Warm in winter and cool in summer make people live more comfortably. Living in such a house is the first choice for the elderly.

So, what are the disadvantages of the east and west wings? Why do you like to sit in a position facing south? The East has always been a theme and a very important direction in China.

Therefore, when building the yard, the East Wing must be repaired, but although there are East Wing and West Wing, what are the disadvantages of such a house compared with sitting facing south?

Most of the wing rooms will have the problems of cold and damp in winter and poor heat insulation in summer. If this family doesn't repair the windows because of the lack of economic conditions, it will be more stuffy in summer and the northwest wind will blow in winter, which is also unbearable.

So even if there are things, the wing rooms are mostly used as warehouses, not for people to live in. Especially the elderly are not suitable for living in such a house, and rheumatism will follow.

Finally, what happened to the house in the south? In the north, roads and markets are mostly in the south, so it will be very noisy and have a great bad influence on people's sleep.

If the children at home are filial, they will not let their parents, especially the elderly, live in these three houses.

Filial piety is the first of all virtues, and filial piety is the transmission.

China has always been a country of traditional etiquette, and it also emphasizes "filial piety of all virtues comes first". Filial piety is the first of all virtues, and filial piety is the most important of the Chinese nation.

Filial piety is not only lip service, but also concrete action. Of course, living support is also a way of filial piety.

Therefore, whether it is a house to live in or a diet, children need to provide their parents with a better one as much as possible. This is a kind of filial piety, which has been the case since ancient times, and it is also the case in modern society today.

Having said that, I should be able to feel the meaning of the saying "East room south room, unfilial to play around". Popular translation is that in a yard, if there is a house facing south, it is a sign of unfilial to let our parents live in the east wing or the south wing.

To put it bluntly, this sentence not only tells us how to build a house, but also lets us know how to be filial. Crows know how to feed back, let alone people.

Of course, in modern society, there is no question of choosing to live in a wing or a south wing. Many families have bought their own buildings to live in and the living conditions are good. But even under such conditions, we still can't forget the importance of filial piety.

Children are growing up, but parents are getting old. They have been working hard for us all their lives. When parents need us, children should be more filial, especially in modern society. Companionship is also an important way.

Therefore, after understanding the proverb, we should be able to deeply feel the deeper meaning of "filial piety of all virtues comes first", and the inheritance of filial piety begins with everyone.
