When building houses in rural areas, some people call the "glans penis house" an accident house. Why do some people call it Longevity House?

In China, different villages have different understandings of glans penis house. Some places think it is a house of longevity, but others think it will bring harm to people.

So what is the glans house? Why do different people have different views on it?

China rural houses will have different designs, and then houses with different shapes will be built, such as the so-called "glans house", which is one of the internal forms of villas.

1. What kind of house is called "glans house"?

The glans house is also called "Bao Xia".

The protruding part of the house is called Bao Xia, the protruding part at the back of the house is called Xia Hou, and the protruding part at the left and right is called Xia Xia.

Before the Qing dynasty, people called the newspaper office the glans building, just like the glans sticking out of its shell.

This kind of house is usually the correction house or the main house, and the house facing south is also called the north house.

Second, why do some places call the "home of the glans penis" the "home of accidents"?

Many existing traditional houses in rural areas in China, such as quadrangles, ancient houses in Anhui, Hakka earth buildings in Fujian and Guangdong, are rectangular with long footings and short front and back.

In the concept of rural people in China, buildings should be square and angular, and they should not protrude outward, and they should not be "without arms and legs".

Similarly, the house in the yard should be square, without missing corners and protruding parts. People think that houses and people with unhealthy family styles will be destroyed sooner or later.

This is influenced by China's ancient philosophical thought "the sky is round and the place is round".

People who have copper coins at home will find that ancient people have always been keen on squares and circles, so coins are generally square in the middle of circles, and stone mills are also square in the middle of circles, which are used to put all kinds of food to be ground. Of course, this is due to the saying that the sky is round.

It can be seen that the concept of "the sky is round and the place is round" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts in ancient times, affecting all aspects of people's lives and the shape of folk houses.

This is why houses in many parts of rural China prefer and believe in squares.

It is for this reason that the home of the glans penis is sometimes considered bankrupt.

Third, "the home of the glans penis" Why are some places called "the home of longevity"?

According to some scholars who study the history of architecture, the "glans building" is a common architectural form in China from the Five Dynasties to the Yuan Dynasty.

The earliest existing example of Baoxia in China is the Mani Palace in Zhengding longxing temple, Hebei Province, which was built in the Northern Song Dynasty.

We can find the word "glans penis" in various historical documents.

The word "glans penis" appeared twice in Su Shi's articles.

First, when he relegated Huangzhou (now Huanggang City, Hubei Province), he wrote in "Giving Ancient Poems": "This autumn and winter, it is a three-bedroom and one-glans penis, taking the snow of the Tang Dynasty as a big one, planting bamboo in the east and watching mountains and rivers in the west.

The "glans" in the "three rooms and one glans" here refers to the protruding part of the house, that is, the "glans house".

Now there are such "glans houses" in the rural areas around Huanggang.

It shows that the "glans house" is still a form of architecture in rural areas from the Northern Song Dynasty to now.

The book Architectural Style written by Li Jie, a famous architect in the Northern Song Dynasty, also mentioned the existence and structure of glans penis.

There is also a description of the word "glans house" in A Dream of Red Mansions. The third time in A Dream of Red Mansions: "Out of the corner gate, it is a north-south road, and there are three small buildings in the south.

"There is also a description of the" Hongyi Garden "where Jia Baoyu lives, such as" Miyake Ji ".

As can be seen from the above documents, glans houses were very common in China from the Five Dynasties to the Yuan Dynasty.

Then why did the ancients call such a house "glans penis room"?

Turtles were auspicious things in ancient China.

Taoist scholars in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty said in his book On Tables that Xuanwu is another name for turtles. Turtles live in water, so they are called Xuan because of their black color, and Wu because they have a shell that can defend themselves.

In ancient China, the tortoise was also considered as a symbol of longevity.

The Story of a Different Story says: A tortoise can live for more than a thousand years; Those who can live for 5 thousand years are called turtles; Those who can live for 10,000 years are called Linggui.

This is why the northern part of the house was called "the glans penis" by the five generations, and the whole main house or main house was also called "the glans penis house", which not only indicated the orientation of the house, but also implied longevity.

So some people will regard the glans penis house as a longevity house.

But in my opinion, whether it is a glans house or not, the essence of a house lies in living.

So now we don't need to care too much about this meaning. After all, a comfortable house is a good house.

Of course, the culture left by our ancestors also needs us to look at it with respect.
