As the saying goes, it is the crystallization of the wisdom of our traditional culture in the folk, and it is also the inheritance of the experience of the ancestors of the folk for thousands of years. The content of the colloquial saying includes all aspects of the production and life of the ancestors, especially in the living environment of the people, and it is the place where the ancestors have summed up the most experience.
As the folk saying goes, "trees sandwich graves, broken financial doors", that is, when the ancestors chose the site to build a house, they must not choose a place with woods and cemeteries in front and behind. The ancestors thought that such a place was unlucky!
The most fundamental reason for the old ancestor's phrase "trees between graves, broken doors of wealth" is that when the ancestors first chose their living environment, they would definitely choose those places that can best protect their own safety needs, and after meeting their own safety needs, they will develop towards the convenience of life, as well as psychological needs, and so on.
Just like the old ancestor said that "the former Suzaku, the later Xuanwu", in fact, at the beginning, it was to ensure the safety needs of the old ancestor's residence. Later, after people were safe, they began to pursue some needs related to the health and comfort of the home. For example, the so-called "hidden wind and gas" statement, to put it bluntly, is actually to ensure the ventilation and sufficient light of the residence, so that the environment in which people live is more comfortable and healthy.
And the living emphasis such as "tree-between graves, broken financial doors" is actually a combination of various needs of the ancestors for the living environment.
One of them is the need for comfort. "Tree-sandwich grave" is to put it bluntly, the front and back of the house are grave forests, living in this place, not only will the ventilation be blocked by the mountain forest, resulting in poor ventilation, but also because of the shade of the trees and lead to heavy humidity in the home, living in such an environment, it is very easy to make sick. It is not the comfortable living environment that the ancestors sought.
On the other hand, it is the psychological needs of the ancestors for the living environment. Whether it is the ancients or our current people, they are all pursuing an auspicious, the so-called auspicious, that is, to be able to avoid evil. Just like we now people will pursue those auspicious numbers in life, such as "six", such as "eight" and so on. At the same time, it will also avoid those unlucky numbers, such as "four" and so on.
The so-called "tree-between-the-tree grave" of the old ancestors is actually the same. Because the cemetery, whether it is today's people or the ancient ancestors, will see it as unlucky, and even some timid people will see it as a terrible existence. Not only the ancient people, who were more shy about building houses next to the cemetery to live, but even people now are very taboo about this.
So, why did the ancestors still think that the "tree-between-the-grave" was a "door to break the wealth"? What does the two have to do with each other?
In fact, the so-called "broken wealth gate" is just an exaggerated statement of the old ancestors, "tree between the grave" is indeed not our traditional sense of the comfortable and comfortable living environment, but also did not reach the point of "breaking the door of the money", but the old ancestor in order to warn future generations, so deliberately exaggerated the harm of "tree between the grave".
Moreover, due to the level of knowledge and the influence of ideology, the ancestors will always associate some things that do not have causal relations, such as "encountering crows, they will be unlucky", "stepping on the manhole cover will be unlucky", etc., these are actually the one-sided cognition of some normal things by the folk ancestors.
This kind of custom of the ancestors of the people pays attention to it, and many of them are the accumulation of experience and the wisdom of life, and often have certain truths. However, due to their level of cognition, when they express it, it will become like "trees and graves, broken doors".
Such folk customs are one of our traditional cultures, and such folk customs and folk wisdom should be viewed by people with a correct attitude, taking their essence and removing their dross!
