Why is there a saying in rural areas that "there is no disaster in the room, and the main hall is spacious and distinguished"?

In fact, this proverb is used when choosing the building structure. The first sentence means that the main room, that is, the living room, should be transparent, and the "quantity" can also be understood as bright, so that when the sun shines into the living room, it will not be so damp and dark, and there will be no more germs. Many people in the purlin think it is the master bedroom, which is bright, so that this person will not be too narrow-minded and do things generously.

Building a house in the countryside, whether Chinese or western, requires a lobby. A hall is not only a functional need, but also a respect for a traditional way of life. In ancient times, a house for storing ancestral tablets was built in the middle of the house. "Don't get into trouble" means to arrange a big place for family members to worship, which is more convenient for them to pay homage, so that they can be protected by their ancestors and make their families suffer less disasters.

In addition to rural areas, the same is true of housing selection in cities. In rural areas, the living room built by ourselves is the middle position of the whole house, and the living room will have large doors or windows, which is especially good for lighting. When people in the city buy a house, they first choose the lighting in the living room, and then they choose the lighting in the bedroom.

In ancient times, I like to associate the living environment with people's personality and style. In fact, this also makes sense. If a person lives in a dark environment every day, his character will be infected by the dark environment, and finally his heart will become relatively dark. Therefore, in ancient times, people attached great importance to the lighting of houses. After all, the environment does affect people's minds and has a great impact on people's development.
