What does it mean to have eaves in the painting?

The meaning of eaves in the painting is to express the owner's pursuit of interest. Because the main content of eaves painting is the auspicious thing of the people, it expresses the interest pursuit or good wish of the owner of the house and becomes an identifiable and cultural architectural decoration. Compared with traditional murals, eaves paintings have their distinctive features. The eaves painting mainly uses the blue brick wall half a meter wide under the eaves as "drawing paper" and re-spreads a thin layer of white cement. The periphery is slightly thicker and the center is slightly thinner, and then an elegant "frame" is formed, and paintings are made in the frame. Why does the whole house choose to paint under the eaves? Because ancient water conservancy was underdeveloped, it often burst its banks. Under the eaves, it can not only shelter from the wind and rain, but also avoid flooding to the greatest extent, which can be described as the best painting position for the whole house. This answer is for reference only. Don't be blindly superstitious.
