In the production and life of the ancestors for thousands of years, traditional culture has played a very important role in people's lives. Traditional culture has penetrated into our veins and become a part of our lives.
Colloquial culture is a part of traditional culture, and it is also an indispensable part of our lives. There is such a folk saying, that is, "It is better to build a thousand graves for others than to settle a door for others."
So, what does this saying really mean?
In fact, this saying is that it is better to give many people to see the haunted house than easily help the family to settle a door! Why do folk ancestors have such a saying?
This has to start with ancient burials! In ancient times, our ancestors practiced burials. Moreover, folk burials are very exquisite, not only the time of burial, but also the location of burial.
People believe that the choice of the burial place of the ancestors, and the process of burial, is a consolation to the deceased, and even affects the prosperity of future generations, so people will attach great importance to the matter of setting up tombs, and even invite special people to choose a good burial place for their deceased ancestors.
There are also many rules about the establishment of tombs in the folk, for example, the ancestors pay attention to "the front has a combination, the back has a point", the so-called front has a combination, that is, there must be a sharp and steep mountain before the tomb; after the point, it is said that after the purpose, there must be a mountain with a smooth outline.
Not only the people, but even the ancient emperors attached great importance to the place where they lived after death. Ancient emperors also believed that their descendants would continue to reign because of their protection.
Therefore, whether it is the ancient emperors or the ancestors of the people, they actually believe that the cemetery is very important for the descendants of the family.
So, since cemeteries are so important, why is there a saying that "it is better to build a thousand graves for others than to install a door for others"?
This is what the old ancestors thought that the placement of the Yang Mansion Gate was even more important and more difficult than choosing a cemetery.
The old ancestor believes that the door is the gateway of a family, communication inside and outside, not only to pick up the weather, but also to get grounded, and even the "gathering" and "dissipation" of a family are inseparable from the door. The location of the door can not only affect people's lives, but also relate to the misfortune of the family.
Folk even have the saying that "the auspiciousness of the house is all at the gate". This also shows the importance of going out at home. And not only that, in addition to the gate in the house, there is also a middle door, a door and so on.
In addition, the emphasis of the folk Anmen is even a little more exquisite than the exquisiteness of the Ann Tomb. For example, the time of The Gate, the orientation of the Gate, and even the size of the Gate, etc., there are many exquisite. Moreover, after the Anmen Gate, people will also hang many auspicious objects on the door. Even because the folk have "cats come to rich", "swallows do not enter the bitter cold door" and so on, so some rural people's homes, will also leave a "cat ear hole" and "bird's nest" on their doors to pray for good luck.
This saying, "It is better to build a thousand graves for others than to settle a door for others" is actually to show the importance of the door in life, even far more important than the grave.
Because the impact of the door on people is immediate, and the impact of the tomb on people is illusory, this may be the reason why the folk think that "it is better to build a thousand graves for others than to install a door for others"!
