In ancient China, there was a threshold at the door, and the order of entry and exit was divided into left and right steps. Who knew?

Hello!

1. 1. In ancient China, there was a threshold at the door, and there were left and right steps for entry and exit?

This must be true, first left and then right. In ancient times, there was a saying that left is the most respected.

2. The threshold was a symbol of status in ancient times.

As the saying goes, "The threshold for entering a university is high," this is what it means.

3. High threshold was a symbol of status in ancient times. Only people with high status could raise the threshold of their own family. However, civilians living in the lower class of society could never raise their threshold.

4. Unless there is a noble person in your family, who is an official or has passed the high school examination, then let alone the threshold, the whole door is a little higher than what ordinary people can cultivate.

It also symbolizes erecting a wall to keep out all bad things, especially those ghosts, to ensure the safety and happiness of the family.

?5. In the past, there was a custom of not stepping on the threshold. You can sit on the threshold, but never step on it. Children are ignorant and often play on the threshold. When adults see it, they will stop it immediately, saying that the threshold is the god who protects the family.

Don't step on it casually.

2. First of all, we must understand the meaning of thresholds in ancient China. As far as I know, there are two.

1. In ancient China, the more powerful a person was, the higher the threshold was, which symbolized nobility. They usually appeared in the homes of nobles, bureaucrats, and landlords. In the feudal era, common people, serfs, and small households were not qualified to step into these high thresholds.

, and some thresholds are even as high as a person’s waist.

2. Another meaning is to block wind and rain, or to block water when the water rises. At the same time, the high threshold can also block the view from outside to inside.
