Living room, in our family life has the most important position, it is a family to communicate the latest situation, cultivate feelings of the place, in today's society more and more rich life, the living room has also become the focus of people's attention, how to make the living room both beautiful and comfortable, is a problem that people often think about. This is particularly important in ancient times, what can be placed in the living room, what can not be placed, the ancients have their own set of learning, especially the literati and inkers, dignitaries and dignitaries, in their view, the living room is the dignity of the family. And this concept is also common in the folk, there is an old folk saying that "the hall is not seen, Tian Guangren Ding Tian", although it seems to be unbearable now, but it is also an interesting way to understand ancient folk culture.
First, the ancients believed that it was not appropriate to place too many plants in the living room. Most people nowadays like to place green plants in the living room, which can not only beautify the environment, but also improve the air quality in the home, and some plants also have beautiful meanings and blessings. However, the ancients did not think so, in the eyes of the ancients, plants are also creatures, their survival is inseparable from "qi", especially in the room with insufficient light, they will consume more qi at home to maintain survival, which causes people and plants to compete for "qi". This makes people drowsy and sluggish. Secondly, some plants will also attract insects and ants, producing pollen to affect the quality of gas. In general, the ancients believed that too many plants in the room would affect people's health.
Second, in the eyes of the ancients, the living room should not be placed with huge shading items. In order to decorate the living room with good looks and ignore the lighting and ventilation is also a taboo of the ancients, in many cases lighting and ventilation are the same, good lighting where ventilation is not bad, but the ventilation of good places is not necessarily good, in order to take into account both to improve the quality of the living environment, the ancients have always paid attention to the north and south transparency, breath is not clear, insufficient light will bury a lot of health risks, scientific research shows that the sun sun to enhance the absorption of vitamin D in the body, enhance people's sense of happiness, Therefore, people still pay attention to the spaciousness and transparency of the living room.
Third, the ancients were afraid to place weapons and blades in the living room. Lao Tzu once said, "Fish do not fall out of the abyss, and bangli instruments cannot show people", and some people say that "those who are soldiers, ominous weapons, things or evil, so those who have the Tao are not there". Blades and sharp weapons are often accompanied by blood and light, and the ancients believed that they had their own qi, which was difficult for ordinary people to match, and only those who fought on the battlefield for this profession could accompany it. Just as there is often a folk saying that butchers are not afraid of the undead, it is difficult for ordinary people to see blood, regardless of whether most people and animals have residual palpitations. The living room is originally a place for hospitality, and it is inevitable that the soldier's blade will bring discomfort to people.
Fourth, the birds of prey are also the living room portraits and ornaments that the ancients are more taboo. Similar to the reasons for swords and sharp weapons, dragons, white tigers, xuanwu, cranes, unicorns, phoenixes, etc. have been regarded as auspicious since ancient times, because their temperament in legend is the same as that of a gentleman, and it is the embodiment of a person's inner character and style. Cheetahs, eagles, and snakes feel the opposite.
All in all, the elegance of the ancients is inseparable from the background of their time. In ancient times, when wars and natural disasters were frequent, the number of poor and poor people was not uncommon, and in the environment where it was difficult to survive through diligent cultivation, people did not give up their hope for a better life, they were careful, pinning their hopes on anything, hoping that there would always be a way where the gods and immortals would hear their pious wishes and would surely bring them the hope of life. In fact, throughout history, it is not difficult to find that the ancients are exquisite, no matter how careful they are, the end is ultimately a dream of Nanke. Fortunately, the countless martyrs who have exchanged their blood for today are no longer what they used to be, as long as they are down-to-earth and self-reliant, a good life is easy.
