Proverbs behind old yearbooks

As we all know, people used to pay attention to geomantic omen when building houses in rural areas. They think that as long as the feng shui is good, it can be built in the isolated Shankaka. Nowadays, besides geomantic omen, people seem to pay more attention to the convenience of transportation. However, regardless of ancient and modern times, in short, we must choose a good place. In fact, there are many proverbs about choosing a homestead in rural areas, including the one I want to share with you today, which is "Don't be afraid of a pile of dung in front of the door." What can we do? Let's take a look at it sentence by sentence! 1. Not afraid of the dung heap in front of the door: As we all know, in rural areas, there are pig pens, chicken and duck sheds and even dry toilets, especially compost garbage pits, which are also called ditches and pits in our local area. Almost every household is located at the gate. It's hot and stinks, and flies are everywhere. On rainy days, feces overflowed and there was no way to leave. As we all know, "every flower in a crop depends on manure." In the eyes of rural people, these manure are all baby bumps, which is the guarantee of a bumper harvest. Therefore, they will deliberately store these feces and pile them in every corner around the house so that they can be used at any time when needed in the field. In the countryside, we can occasionally see jokes about neighbors fighting over these things. There are many piles in front of their house, which proves that this family is hardworking. Besides, it has been like this for generations, and they have long adapted to such an environment. Therefore, in the past, there was a dung heap in front of the rural area, which was not only a shame, but a good thing.

2. Afraid of "chasing" the loess in the back house: From the above, it is not difficult to know that we rural people are not afraid of the dirty and smelly environment with dung piled at the door. What is there to be afraid of? In fact, don't say yes, it's just that the loess chases the house. As the saying goes, chasing the house means that people will understand it as being next to it. In other words, they are afraid that the house will be next to the earth mountain. Why not be next to the earth mountain? In fact, it goes without saying that we all know how important the house is in everyone's mind. Even if it is said to be the "lifeblood", of course, there is no room for any mistake. Moreover, if the house is next to the earthen mountain, it is very likely that natural disasters such as soil erosion, mountain collapse and mudslides will cause security risks to the house and even directly destroy it. If it's sunny and afraid of flying dust, it will make a mess at home. It also has a certain impact on people's health, so if the house is next to the dirt mountain, people will live in fear, anxiety and fear whether it is sunny or rainy. Once something happens, they will be nothing and even their homes will be destroyed.

So it's terrible to have a dirt mountain behind the house. This is really no joke.

To sum up, it is not difficult for us to understand the meaning of the sentence "not afraid of the dung heap in front of the door, but afraid of chasing the loess behind the house". I must also understand the truth contained in this sentence. Although it is a bit crude and tacky, if you build a house in the countryside, you really can't take it seriously.

Of course, you can't build a house next to a dirt mountain now, and there can't be a dung heap at the door. What do you think of this? Welcome to leave a comment!
