Is it a feudal superstition to "add walls and destroy homes" in rural areas?

When it comes to building a house, it is definitely a major event in the countryside. I remember that when my family is building a new house, it takes a long time to buy cement, red bricks and the like, and I also bought cigarettes and tea for the people who built the house. Because my father used to build houses, the house I live in now was built by my father's workers, and I don't have to pay for it. Therefore, construction workers eat three meals a day in my home, and my home is very lively during the construction period. To build a house, the first thing to do is to lay a good foundation. The depth and width of the foundation are related to the height of the house. The higher the house, the deeper and wider the foundation. If the house is short, the foundation can be shallower and narrower. Today, the phrase "adding a wall to the wall, breaking the family and killing people" has something to do with laying the foundation.

Adding a wall to the wall means that it is very dangerous to continue building a house on the basis of the original house, which can easily lead to the collapse of the house and threaten the personal safety of family members. In recent years, many rural people choose to build a two-story building when building a house. Some people see that their neighbors are all in Gai Lou, but they can't afford to build a two-story building, so they will try to build another floor on the basis of the original house, so that their families can live in a small building with less than half the cost. Although the idea is good, it must not be done, because the foundation of a bungalow is much shallower and narrower than that of a building, especially in an old house that has lived for a long time, and the foundation is unstable. If we insist on adding stories to the old house, the foundation of the old house will crack because of excessive load, and even the foundation may sink. Such a house is bound to be dangerous to live in, so it is absolutely impossible to add layers to the old house.

In some places, there is another explanation for this proverb, which is to open a window on the load-bearing wall and add a wall to it. Personally, I think this explanation is feasible, because the load-bearing wall mainly bears the weight of the whole roof and is the thickest and strongest wall in a house. I believe that many people buying a house in the city will change the layout of the original house. The way to change the layout is to tear down the original wall and build a wall according to your own ideas, but the decorator will definitely not tear down the load-bearing wall, because it is easy to cause the house to collapse. The load-bearing wall can not only be easily removed, but also can not be easily added with windows, which will also affect the safety of the load-bearing wall.

To sum up, I personally think that "adding a wall to the wall will ruin the family" is not superstition. Many people will think this sentence is superstitious, which may be related to the second half of this proverb. Careful friends will find that rural proverbs are often described in an exaggerated way in order to attract everyone's attention.

The biggest feature of living in the countryside is that the house you live in is to build your own house on the homestead. Building a house in the countryside is a major event for farmers. Many people try their best to build a house of their own in their lifetime. In the past, many farmers often had to build houses for many years due to economic conditions, while saving money to build houses.

There are also many opinions about building a house, such as the location of the house, the choice of materials, the design and orientation of the windows of the house, which need to be carefully studied. After all, once selected, it is difficult to change. Among all the opinions, the most important one is that "adding a wall to the wall will ruin this home".

There are two explanations for adding a wall to a wall. One is an old house where people have lived for many years. In order to expand their living area, people have added a floor on the original basis. But people who build their own houses in rural areas should understand that the height of the house and the structure and depth of the foundation are interrelated.

Especially in Northeast China, because there is frozen soil layer on the ground, in order to prevent the frozen soil layer from expanding with heat and contracting with cold, when laying the foundation, it is necessary to dig a certain depth as the foundation according to the height of the house, dig it below the frozen soil layer, fill the foundation with sand and gravel, and build rubble on it to strengthen the foundation to prevent the foundation of the house from being unstable. The house has lived for many years, and there will be some cracks at the joint between the house and the foundation. At this time, if the old house is renovated, the foundation is basically demolished and rebuilt, rather than adding another layer to the original foundation of the house. This will lead to the instability of the building foundation, and the original load-bearing wall can no longer bear the weight of the upper layer, which will lead to danger.

There is also a saying that the wall of the rural compound was raised on the original basis after it was built. In fact, it is also the case. These walls are built very high without changing the original foundation or wall thickness. If the wall above is relatively high, it will produce unstable imagination, and it is easy to be dangerous when encountering strong winds.

Therefore, from these two aspects, it makes sense that "the wall is added to the wall, and the family is ruined." It is only through this old saying that people are warned to pay attention to matters needing attention during construction and not to cause personal danger simply for the sake of saving trouble. Especially in the earliest rural areas, houses and outer courtyards are adobe brick walls made of rural straw and soil, which increases the danger.

Do you think that "adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family" is a feudal superstition? Whether it makes sense, welcome to communicate, more wonderful villages, welcome to pay attention.

Is it a feudal superstition to "add walls and destroy homes" in rural areas? Some people think that the countryside represents feudal superstition, but after several generations, urban people are also rural people. The countryside is a treasure house of culture, especially many proverbs, which express the philosophy of life in fluent language. Although it is sometimes exaggerated, it makes sense to think about it. For example, "the wall is added to the wall, and the family is broken." It sounds a bit exaggerated, but it is.

Everyone in China has a house plot, especially in rural areas, but as long as they have a little savings, they like to build new houses, especially the idea of having a suite for life. In the case of short-term lack of funds and serious damage to the original houses, some farmers will choose to build bungalows, which was more common twenty years ago. When you have money in the future, build another layer on this basis.

However, according to what has always been said, this practice is not desirable. Because the bearing capacity of each building is different, adding walls or stories on the original basis may lead to the failure of the original bearing system and the collapse of the house. Even if the economic loss is calculated, if it hits people, the situation will be very serious.

Back to the situation in our village just now, why did someone build a bungalow before? Not now, except that the economy has improved and can be achieved in one step, there have been cases in which buildings collapsed because of adding stories before. Not far from the back door of my house, after adding a layer, two or three years later, on a day of heavy rain, half of it fell and two people were injured. Fortunately, their lives were not in danger, and they were not added later. Last year, a family only added a roof to the original bungalow, renovated it, and did not cover two floors, just because they were worried about this problem.

Therefore, we can't treat all the old sayings as feudal superstitions. These old sayings contain a lot of historical experience and look rough, but they are actually full of profound truth. This is my view on this sentence. If you have different opinions, please comment. Is it a feudal superstition to "add walls and destroy homes" in rural areas? Perhaps, if you want to ask what is the most valuable thing in rural farmers' homes, most farmers may answer "house" except for a few acres of contracted land. Nowadays, it has become common sense that farming does not make money. Many farmers have little savings at home, so they regard their houses as their important property. It is precisely because of this that rural farmers pay special attention to orientation, location and integration with the surrounding environment when building houses. Of course, the quality of the house can not be ignored, otherwise there is no sense of security in it.

Because it is not easy for farmers to build houses, it may cost them half their life savings. For ordinary farmers, in order to control the construction cost, many families only build one floor at first, and then build another floor on this basis after the family conditions are good. However, in the case of adding stories to the original house, people summed up a sentence: "Add walls to the wall, and the family will be ruined."

The mentality of "keeping up with the joneses" among rural farmers is quite common. When they see their neighbors buying new cars, they will follow suit, whether it is in line with their actual situation or not. Seeing that other people's houses are built higher than their own, it is completely irrational to start heightening their own houses or building new ones. Then, why is there a saying in rural areas that "the wall is added to the wall, and the family breaks down and the people die"? Is this a feudal superstition?

There is a saying in the countryside that "the wall is added to the wall, and the family is ruined", which means that building a house on the original house is prone to potential safety hazards. Although this proverb is exaggerated, it is not unreasonable. Like this proverb, many expressions of rural proverbs are exaggerated, but its implied truth deserves attention. As far as "adding walls will destroy homes" is concerned, it is difficult to grasp whether the foundation can support the weight of existing houses, whether the new walls can be vertically aligned with the original walls, and whether the load-bearing structure of houses has changed. , there are certain security risks. The older generation used this exaggerated expression to warn everyone not to build houses by "adding walls to the walls" as much as possible.

From this perspective, although this proverb is exaggerated, it is not a feudal superstition, but it still has some truth. Dear friends, what do you think? Welcome to leave a message!

In recent years, the economic level of rural families in China has improved significantly. Basically, every family has a certain amount of deposit, and many families choose to use this deposit to turn over the two-story house again. When the house is turned over, the foundation is basically rebuilt, and the wall is rebuilt, rather than being directly raised on the basis of the previous bungalow, because people here are convinced that there is a saying that "the wall is added to the wall, and the family is broken."

It is often very dangerous to build a house on the basis of the previous house according to the previous wall. Carelessness will lead to the destruction of the family. Speaking of which, you may think I'm talking nonsense. I feel that this rural proverb is feudal superstition, but it is not. This sentence is definitely not a feudal superstition. This sentence is very scientific, because I have seen a series of troubles caused by building a house.

Lao Li in our village next door is a typical example. Lao Li has three daughters, all of whom work in other places. Usually, only his wife lives with them. Because the money I earned when I was young supported my daughter to go to college, I didn't have much savings when I was old, and I still lived in a single-story brick house. Lao Li looked at other people's homes and built two-story buildings in the past two years. His heart itched and he was embarrassed to spend too much money to build a house. So he later discussed with his wife that it would be better to use these savings in his hand to add a layer to the current house, so that he could live in a two-story building and save money.

My wife didn't go to school and didn't understand the danger, so she agreed, so she called the construction team to build the house. The construction team saw that the foundation of the house was not good, and advised Lao Li not to build it, but Lao Li just wanted to live in a small two-story building, and he simply wouldn't listen. The construction team had no choice but to build it for him. It was fine when it was first built, but it will not work after living for half a year. The foundation began to collapse and cracks appeared on the wall on the first floor. There is still a tendency for houses to collapse. Lao Li and his wife had no choice but to live in the neighbor's house next door for a while. When the daughters came home, they tore down the house that was about to collapse and rebuilt two small bungalows. Now, every time we see Lao Li in these villages, we make fun of him. Lao Li is also bitter and can only regret it.

The main reason for this situation is that the sections of the previous foundation and wall are impatient, so if a new wall is added to the old wall, both the old wall and foundation will collapse, and the wall will collapse seriously. If someone happens to be inside, it will cause casualties. This rural proverb, "If the wall is built on top of the wall, the family will be destroyed", is the experience of our ancestors in building houses for us, telling us that we can't build new houses on top of old houses, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Therefore, this rural proverb is not feudal superstition, but very scientific.

For thousands of years, there have been many proverbs circulating in rural areas, most of which have scientific basis. For example, this sentence seems to be a feudal superstition on the surface, but when you think about it carefully, the reason is clear, and it is by no means a feudal superstition.

"If you add a wall to the wall, the family will be ruined" is a big taboo in life and the principle of building a house. In the past, the foundation of rural housing was relatively weak, and the walls were all earth walls with limited bearing capacity. Sometimes, in rural areas, people want to add a wall or a one-story house. In order to save money, they will consider building another section on the original wall. In fact, the security risks are very great. Adding a wall to the original wall can easily exceed its bearing capacity and eventually lead to the collapse of the house, which is the root cause of the damage.

This sentence is also very reasonable in modern architecture. At present, to carry out construction, we must first carry out scientific planning and design drawings. In the process of construction, the construction must be carried out in strict accordance with the design drawings to ensure the safety of the house. This happened in our neighboring village: the wing of a family was a bungalow, and then a layer was added on the top of the bungalow, which became a two-story bungalow. As a result, one night, without any warning, the two-story bungalow collapsed. Fortunately, no one lives in it.

Our local rural people often say: if you don't listen to the old people, you will suffer! Therefore, the proverbs handed down in rural areas are all the accumulation of experience, and we still have to listen to them. There is an old saying in the countryside that "adding a wall to the wall will ruin the family." In fact, it is a taboo for building houses in rural areas, not a superstition. It is a talk of experience and a specific product of a specific era. With profound meaning and strong practicability, it has influenced generation after generation.

The original intention of "adding a wall to the wall, breaking the family and killing people"

In the past, houses built in rural areas were not bricks, but civil structures. The firmness of a house depends entirely on the foundation. At that time, there was no cement in the foundation, but it was compacted with loess, which lacked the ability to resist compression. The foundation is unstable and can't bear the heavy pressure. The key is whether the walls of the house are adobe or earth. This house is not strong. After a long time, cracks will appear in the wall. If we continue to add walls to raise floors, it will inevitably increase the pressure on the walls and easily lead to the collapse of houses. It is the same as "adding rooms to the house" at will now.

Is it reasonable to "add a wall to the wall and ruin the family"?

Tall buildings rise from the ground, all on the foundation. If there is a problem with the foundation, then the house is a dangerous building, and it is also very dangerous to live in, which may lead to the possible consequences of "family destruction." The truth that "adding walls will destroy homes" is obvious.

"Adding a wall to the wall will ruin the family" is very suitable for today's children. Although the building materials are advanced, the building means are enhanced, the building structure is more reasonable and the foundation is safer, but the structure is modified at will. For example, some people illegally build on the roof in order to get a lot of rent or more compensation. It will directly affect the bearing capacity of the wall and foundation, and it will definitely endanger the overall quality of the house after a long time. Maybe there will be no problem at ordinary times. In the event of geological disasters such as earthquakes, houses are more likely to collapse, endangering the lives of family members and neighbors.

The biggest feature of living in the countryside is that the house you live in is to build your own house on the homestead. Building a house in the countryside is a major event for farmers. Many people try their best to build a house of their own in their lifetime. In the past, many farmers often had to build houses for many years due to economic conditions, while saving money to build houses.

There are also many opinions about building a house, such as the location of the house, the choice of materials, the design and orientation of the windows of the house, which need to be carefully studied. After all, once selected, it is difficult to change. Among all the opinions, the most important one is that "adding a wall to the wall will ruin this home".

There are two explanations for adding a wall to a wall. One is an old house where people have lived for many years. In order to expand their living area, they added another floor to the original one. But people who build their own houses in rural areas should understand that the height of the house and the structure and depth of the foundation are interrelated.

Therefore, from these two aspects, it makes sense that "the wall is added to the wall, and the family is ruined." It is only through this old saying that people are warned to pay attention to matters needing attention during construction and not to cause personal danger simply for the sake of saving trouble. Especially in the earliest rural areas, houses and outer courtyards are adobe brick walls made of rural straw and soil, which increases the danger. Although there is some truth, it is a bit exaggerated. In rural areas, there is a lot of emphasis on building houses, but not much on simply renovating and decorating houses.

For newly built houses, farmers will look at the Gregorian calendar, choose the right day to break ground, and even hold a ceremony to make everything go smoothly. The most important thing in a house is to lay the foundation. There is a saying that as long as the foundation is laid well, the house can be repaired firmly. Therefore, farmers attach great importance to the foundation of houses, but there are also cases of using old walls, directly ignoring the saying that "the wall on the wall, the family breaks down." Isn't this a bit alarmist?

First, the reasons for adding walls to walls When farmers build houses, there are nothing more than three situations. First, there was no consideration and demand at that time, only one or two floors were built to meet the needs of life and production. After many years, the demand increased, so a new floor was added to the roof. Second, although it was planned at that time, it was difficult to raise funds, so the house was repaired back and forth for several years, and many migrant farmers in the village repaired the house in this way. Third, the wall is in danger of being damaged or collapsed and needs to be strengthened.

Second, there are hidden dangers in adding walls to walls. Although the wall is composed of independent masonry blocks and mortar, or rammed by soil, once the masonry or foundation is completed, the wall becomes a whole, and each part plays an indispensable role in the stability of the wall.

However, if a new wall is superimposed on the old wall, the integrity of the joint between the new and old walls is not as good as other parts, and the old broken wall may fall down if you push it hard. So when adding a new wall to an old wall, there is a method of fixing it with steel bars and buckles.

Third, for the sake of safety, the saying that "adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family" in rural areas is only alarmist and slightly exaggerated. As long as it is handled properly, its purpose is also for safety to attract the attention of builders.

Huinong Circle will answer for you! Rural friends are very particular about building houses. Many people believe in Feng Shui. When building a house, they will look for some geomantic omen and then build a house. Because this will not bring unnecessary trouble, so in the hearts of rural friends, building a house depends on Feng Shui first, and building a house according to Mr. Feng Shui's instructions will be safe. Therefore, there are many proverbs in the countryside that we can't even think of, but they are easily spoken by rural friends. There is a saying that "the wall is added to the wall, and the family is ruined." At first glance, you will find that the words "your home is ruined" are particularly eye-catching. So is there a scientific basis for this proverb? Or is it just the feudal superstition of rural friends?

In my opinion, this matter is indeed based on science, not the feudal superstition of rural friends. Although rural friends are feudal and superstitious, with the continuous development of the times, their thoughts have also improved a lot. This proverb handed down from the older generation is not based on feudal superstition, but is true, so it will spread everywhere in the countryside.

In my hometown, there is such a family, because when building a house, it was not built according to the foundation of the building; But the family can't occupy the house because the children get married, so they have to take over the building. Finally, it caused a terrible disaster. After several days of heavy rain, the house at home finally failed to withstand the immersion of rain and collapsed. Fortunately, the family fled quickly, otherwise it would have been smashed in the house and destroyed.

Therefore, the sentence "adding a wall to the wall will destroy the family" has scientific basis. If you want to add a wall to the wall, you should first look at whether the foundation of your house is stable. The load-bearing wall is unstable, and adding a wall is equivalent to tearing down the house yourself. If you want to add a wall to the wall, you need the foundation of your house to bear the weight of the wall. Before connecting buildings, it is necessary to lay a good foundation and make the foundation into the foundation of the building, otherwise the house will collapse if it can't bear the weight.

Therefore, there is a saying in rural areas that "the wall is built on the wall, and the family is ruined", which is not a feudal superstition, but has a scientific basis. Therefore, the rural saying still has a certain basis, and we can't help but believe it.
