Western traditional concept of sitting and lying

Manchu is a minority in the north, and some people are very hospitable when they visit them. They sit on the kang in winter, but they can sit anywhere except Xikang in winter. Why? Why can't guests sit on the west kang? Let's have a look.

In Manchu families, they let others sit on Xikang, and then hang a board on Xikang's wall. This board is called the old Buddha board, which is used to worship ancestors. There are also seven incense burners near this board, symbolizing the Big Dipper. Some people say that this shows that Manchu ancestors once came from Baishan Blackwater in Changbai Mountain, including seven gullies.

Westinghouse where Manchu people live is also very particular. They are not allowed to put things there, which will destroy Feng Shui, so there are many things that can't be done. We need to know in advance, otherwise it will be easy to touch. At the same time, family and guests are not allowed to sit in Xikang. When visiting the Manchu family, you can't wear a dog skin hat on the Xikeng, because Manchu people often worship their ancestors with Xikang, and it is customary to take Beikang as their husband and Xikang as their price.

In the big family of the Chinese nation, each nation has its own customs, etiquette and culture, which is different from others. Indoor culture is the symbolic culture of each nation. Among many ethnic groups, Manchu customs show distinctive western characteristics. So we should respect their culture and avoid touching their taboos. The formation of Manchu custom of worshipping the West is a kind of cultural inheritance and accumulation, not a simple practical purpose, that is, the warmth of Westinghouse. ?
