To tell the truth, Chinese's dedication to buildings and houses ranks among the top in the world.
This is probably because since ancient times, China has been an agrarian nation, and the strict requirements of the agrarian nation for the fixed environment have basically run through the development history of thousands of years.
Specifically today, the best embodiment of this "cultural gene" is reserved for the purchase of housing.
Chinese people have the most requirements for housing, and at the same time, they are the most detailed.
For example, if we want to buy a house in our daily life, we often hear people say: the 4th, 8th and 18th floors are not allowed to buy, so what is the reason for this?
1. Is it feudal superstition or is it justified?
The so-called "4th, 8th, and 18th floors cannot be bought", according to traditional folklore, actually has a certain relationship with their pronunciation analogy.
After all, in Chinese pronunciation, the homonym of 4 is "death", and 8 is often combined with some negative words and idioms.
For example, "messy", "scattered", "seven up and eight down", etc., these derogatory words are almost all related to 8.
And the 18th floor, it is easy to think of the so-called "eighteen-story hell".
All in all, it's not a particularly auspicious number.
However, such an explanation is obviously not convincing to the contemporary people who have received scientific enlightenment education.
Besides, the homonym thing is largely related to some local cultural traditions, and it can't stand scrutiny.
Just like Westerners hate the number 13 very much, so there are very few 13 floors in Western residences.
Generally, 12 a, 12 b, or 12 is directly connected to 14 to jump 13 over.
But the number 13 is not shy to use in China, and people in the West don't care about numbers like 4, 8, and 18.
Therefore, if you say something like "unlucky numbers", just listen to it, and don't take it to heart at all.
If there are suitable floors for these floors, you should buy them, and don't lose your favorite house for some ancient superstitions.
However, although you don't have to care too much about the numbers when buying a house, some ancient cultures related to feng shui still have a certain significance when applied to residences.
For example, there is a term in Feng Shui called "Tibetan Wind Gathering Qi".
To put it simply, it is a house that is surrounded by a mountain, and in front of it, it is better to have a water source, such as a river or a small pond.
According to Feng Shui, such a house will generally gather "earth qi", so that the occupants will be blessed in this area, and noble people will appear in the family.
The second half of this statement is somewhat ethereal, but the first part makes some sense.
When a house is close to a water source, it does make the air around the house more humid, making it more habitable.
Living in such a place will also make the whole body feel better.
The back of the house is against the mountains, which can block out external sounds, and it can indeed make the living place quieter to a certain extent.
It can also shelter from the severe cold of winter and the scorching heat of summer, making the overall living environment more comfortable.
Feng Shui also specifically mentions that the terrain around the house is better to be relatively flat, because such a house has a stronger foundation and is less susceptible to natural disasters from the outside world.
If the terrain is too steep, it is easy to fall or trip or fall, causing physical damage to the residents.
Therefore, when buying a house, we should still refer to some traditional Feng Shui concepts.
They are not necessarily superstitions, and screening out the parts that are conducive to our purchase of real estate actually has a considerable degree of reference value.
2. What kind of floors can't be bought?
But then again, you can't buy the 4th, 8th and 18th floors, although it's a nonsense of feudal superstition.
But there are a few floors in a new building that we don't really recommend buying. Because living on these floors will make your life a lot inconvenient.
The first one is the penthouse, why not recommend buyers to buy the penthouse?
The reason is that the exterior wall of the house on the top floor will directly face the invasion of the sun or rain and snow, so whether it is thermal insulation in summer or thermal insulation in winter, the effect of the top floor will not be very good.
Just imagine, if you live in the middle and upper floors, whether it is rain, snow or heat, it will not particularly affect you.
But if you live on the top floor, the heat, rain and snow will penetrate directly through the roof and penetrate into your home, so that the comfort of your life will be greatly reduced.
Because the top floor is directly exposed to the harsh external environment, it is relatively more likely to deteriorate and decay in terms of materials than other floor buildings.
This means that if you live on the top floor, you will have to bear more maintenance stress and extra money than you would on a typical floor.
These are unnecessary expenses that will add more burden to the buyer over time.
The second piece of advice is to try not to buy a house with a waistline.
For example, if you see from the outside, there are some floors that have protruding parts on the outside.
This kind of part will look better from the outside and make the outside of the entire floor pleasing to the eye, and this is called the waistline layer.
In fact, although the waistline layer looks good, there are many problems when you actually live in a house close to the waistline.
The first is that the protruding part such as the waistline layer is relatively easy to accumulate dust.
And if you encounter objects thrown by unscrupulous residents in the air, these things are also very likely to be thrown to the waistline.
At this time, if you live in the waistline layer, if you want to clean up the garbage or dust, it will become very laborious and time-consuming.
Another problem with buildings on the waistline floor is that it will affect the lighting of the building.
Because the protruding part of the waistline layer often blocks the sunlight and prevents sunlight from entering the house.
In this case, it will greatly affect the living experience of the residents, which will bring a lot of trouble to the residents.
The third thing to avoid buying is a house close to the equipment floor.
We all know that modern buildings are equipped with all kinds of electrical appliances, and they rely on a central switchboard to maintain their operation.
The so-called "equipment floor" refers to the floor with a central switchboard, which will make a continuous and loud noise during the normal operation of these switchboards.
If the tenant happens to buy a house close to the equipment floor, then he will definitely be disturbed by this kind of noise, which will bring some trouble to his daily life.
What's more, sometimes there may be some problems with the central equipment, such as sudden stagnation or malfunction, and sometimes there may even be leakage or even explosion.
In this case, the houses near the equipment floor will be the first to be affected, bringing safety hazards to the residents.
The fourth to avoid buying a dwelling is a one-storey floor. Why should you try to avoid one-story dwellings?
The core lies in the fact that the first floor is where all residents go up and down the stairs, and it will be more affected by the outside world.
More importantly, residents living on the first floor are not only affected by the flow of people coming and going, but also by the activities on the ground.
Once there is a vehicle on the outside, it will greatly affect the quality of life of the first floor of life, and it will also make the privacy of the residence unguaranteed.
Living on the ground floor, there is also a problem of ventilation and lighting.
As we all know, the current community is basically a high-rise house, and the first thing the sun hits must be a relatively high floor.
And because the first floor is close to the ground, it will also be affected by mosquitoes and other things in summer, after all, the current community also advocates garden-style, and there is no shortage of vegetation.
In this way, in the summer, the first floor is faced with the dilemma of not opening the windows to avoid mosquito bites, but at the same time it is very stuffy.
Therefore, when buying a house, we need to avoid the above types, rather than simply looking at the superstitious saying that the floor is auspicious or unlucky.
Then again, how do we buy a house to achieve the desired results in our hearts?
3. What should I look for when buying a house?
When buying a house, we must go to the community where we are buying a house, and our own qualifications must be investigated.
In recent years, there have often been buyers who have unconsciously bought unfinished buildings.
The reason for this is that the tenant did not investigate the situation in advance before buying the house, and bought it rashly, and was deceived by the seller or the intermediary.
Next, we should investigate the traffic conditions around the purchased community, because when we buy a house in the city, the first thing we need to consider is whether the area can be easily accessed.
If we buy a very remote community, then living here will be very inconvenient for us.
Especially for some suburban properties, we should still carefully consider whether to buy them.
When buying a house, you must buy the floor or location you want to choose according to the actual situation of your family. For example, the first floor we mentioned above is not recommended to buy, but there is a special situation that can still consider buying the first floor.
That is, if there are elderly people with inconvenient legs and feet at home, they will not be able to climb tall buildings in the process of going out or returning home.
And the waiting time for the elevator can sometimes be very long, so in this case, it is also a good option to consider buying the first floor.
epilogue
In fact, for most people, buying a property is one of the biggest expenses in life. And where you live is also an impact on the quality of life that cannot be ignored.
Therefore, when buying a house, we should still be cautious and think about it before making a move.
In this way, we can avoid some additional losses, make our lives more enjoyable, and have a lot less trouble.
