Pay attention to building a house

(1) Houses in rural areas are close to water sources, and the high platform at the intersection of rivers is the best.

(2) The residence faces south, protected from wind and sun, and protected from wind and rain. Attach importance to the principles of "sitting north facing south, living well and enjoying happiness", "sitting north facing south, warm in winter and cool in summer" and "sitting north facing south, people facing the sun".

(3) Market rooms pay attention to the sunny side, passing by, pleasing to the eye, and have a large flow of people.

(4) The cornerstone of the building is commonly known as "the foundation of the lower house". Generally, a blue cornerstone should be built on the foundation of the wall, and the five characters "Taishan Shi Gandang" should be engraved on it as the symbol of the town house, which means invincible, full of ghosts and daring to deal with disasters.

(5) To seek luck on the beam, choose beam wood, and some use the homonym "jade" of elm, meaning "surplus grain and stones". Some take dates as purlins, which means "accumulating surplus grain early".

(6) The upper beam is covered with red silk or red cotton cloth, and the beam lifting time is more than 100 times at noon. Four craftsmen, stone, tile, wood and saw, got together, and all the neighbors joined in. Under the command of Master Zhang Mo, four carpenters hoisted the beam with new ropes and hoisted it to a proper position. The people present were in high spirits, and the host set off firecrackers and sprinkled candy.

(7) Drinking while waiting for work is a general term for banquets given by craftsmen and helpers. Three meals a day, delicious food, including wine, sorghum wine and round wine. Building a house costs a lot, so there is a saying among the people that "you can't use a bricklayer without three-year-old wine pulp."

Taboos for building houses

First, it is very important to choose a homestead. The choice of homestead should consider the surrounding geomantic conditions, with high back and wide front. When building a house, the yard and the main house should be square. In terms of image, the square courtyard will lead to the life fortune of long-term users.

2. Don't skew beams, pour columns or cross rafters. Note: this refers to building a wooden house. With wood as the beam, the big head must be outward, meaning "hair" inward; Use wood as a pillar, with the big head down and the meaning of "sending"; Take wood as a rafter, both ends must be in the same position as the upper and lower purlins, and the upper end cannot be in this room and the lower end in another room.

Third, there is no "big mouth" to "small mouth". Note: "big mouth" refers to the door, and "small mouth" refers to the window. If the East Room is built, it must face the west gate, window to window. If the door is facing the window, it is called "big mouth", which is a big taboo in building a house.

Fourth, the locust tree and willow tree don't go home. In traditional geomantic omen, the word "Huai" has the word "ghost", and "Liu" is easy to become refined, that is, people often say "Liu Jing". If there are "ghosts" or "willow spirits" in the house, there will be no peace at home, so it is forbidden to use locust trees and willow trees when building a house. The actual situation is that Sophora japonica has a long growth period. In ancient times, it was a rare hardwood, which was mostly used to make utensils. Therefore, there is a saying that "you can't burn firewood even if you are an inch of Sophora japonica". It seems to be overqualified to use it as house wood. Willow, on the other hand, is a fast-growing tree species, belonging to soft wood, which is not strong and prone to insects, so it is not used as building wood. In order to make people remember this common sense, the ancients handed it down in the form of taboos.

The water in the yard must flow through the front of the gate, which means that the gate is low and there must be water.

Six, hall, door room number must be the third, fifth and odd, not the second, fourth and even.

Seven, the folk proverb says: "The height in the east is not high, and the height in the west is broken." It means that if things are juxtaposed, the roof of the east is a little higher than that of the west. If the ridge in the west is higher than that in the east, it is considered a lie. There is a saying in Feng Shui that Longteng is better than Baihuteng. If the white tiger in the west is taller than the dragon in the east in a family house, then most of the family is the hostess and the man is weak and incompetent. What's more, it will be because the hostess is too strong.
