My neighbor built a house higher than mine in the east. Does it affect my family?

In the eyes of rural people, the house is the most important. When building a house, there are many stresses. First of all, to see an auspicious day break ground, we must choose a date and put it on the beam. The height of the house is even more particular. It must be flush with the height of the neighbor's house, not even higher or shorter. If you are tall and people don't let you, you will suffer if you are short. If you live in the middle and have neighbors on both sides, the house in the middle is also very particular about height. Although everyone wants their house to be taller, if it is taller than the houses of neighbors on both sides, rural people say it is called carrying heavy burdens.

Since it is a burden, you will feel very tired and need that ability, so no one wants to carry this burden. Of course not shorter than two neighbors. The house is short, and the family members who are crushed by others are unlucky. Another thing about building a house is that it is best not to choose a place with no neighbors around. Although there are no neighbors around, it is very spacious to live in, and it is convenient to grow vegetables and raise chickens and sheep in front of and behind the house, but we are alone in the same house. Our local rural elderly said that such a house is a "sleepy" word and can't live in people.

There are other places to pay attention to when building a house in the countryside, but the most taboo is that the house next to it is taller than your own, which is absolutely not allowed. Don't say the first room, even the wing is absolutely not allowed. Most houses in rural areas face south, and people in rural areas say that they are left with dragons and tigers. I don't know if you have heard the saying, "If you are not afraid of Qinglong, you are afraid that the white tiger will look up." In other words, the house of two neighboring neighbors, the east neighbor, is ok, but the house of the west neighbor must not be higher than that of the east neighbor. It can be said that, but in real life, no matter whether it is east or west, neither side allows others' houses to be taller than their own. One of them built the house first, and then the bricklayer of the other must strictly check the size, which is as high as the house built by the neighbor first.
