Home is the harbor of the soul, anchored with endless heartfelt words, home is the water droplets of the vast ocean, reflecting the continuous changes of society, home is the oil-paper umbrella that has been through vicissitudes but still stands upright in the wind and rain, and under the rough and simple appearance, it always contains the most heart-warming broken thoughts......
For our Chinese, the meaning of home is too great, too broad, too deep, the so-called home is the country, the country is the family, all bloody Chinese for the family, can even sacrifice personal life to maintain the interests of the whole family......
This is the Chinese's feelings of home and country -
For this reason, in order to protect this original intention and decorate the future of a beautiful family, our ancestors also specially compiled a popular and positive saying:
Put three treasures at home, and if you are not rich, you will also live in the town
So, what exactly are the Three Jewels? Is there any truth to this saying?
Listen to me.
First, ornaments in the category of landscapes
When it comes to landscape ornaments, perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is the rockery behind the house, the big fish tank in the yard, there are mountains and water in front of and behind, this is the back of the mountain and the water, the town is evil, or simple, to put it bluntly, it is the meaning of the family to attract wealth, because Feng Shui believes that water is gold, and even if it can't attract wealth, there is still a "backer" behind it, so the ancients thought that the ornaments of the landscape category are one of the three treasures of the town house that is not rich.
Speaking of which, the question is, whether it is a rockery or a big fish tank, these babies who often need a lot of money and want to invest a lot, how can ordinary people like us afford to play?
So according to this, aren't we ordinary people just have nothing to do with landscape ornaments and can't buy this town house baby?
Non-ya——
Because landscape ornaments are not only limited to rockeries and flowing water, these miniature versions of "real" landscapes, but also bonsai, bonsai, etc., in fact, they all belong to the "landscape category of ornaments".
For example, the more popular Taishan stone, put a pot at home is both beautiful and cheap, can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
There are also small bonsai of the landscape type, there are many flower and bird markets, and they are not expensive, which is completely suitable for us ordinary consumers.
Of course, we think that this is still different from person to person, not absolute, or some people they don't like these landscape knick-knacks, thinking that these things are uncomfortable at home and take up space-
So how should this kind of friend "not be rich but also live in the town"?
It's very simple, hang a landscape painting in the house, or put a desk calendar with a landscape painting on the desk, which does not take up space, but is beautiful and practical, so isn't it the best of both worlds-
Second, it represents the object of auspiciousness
What is an auspicious object?
This is simple and easy to understand, such as the gourd, the ancients believed that the gourd had two meanings:
1. The gourd is Fulu, symbolizing blessing and wealth, so hanging a gourd at home is both rich and blessed.
I remember when I was a child, no matter how hard life was, my mother would always buy some valuable gourd art from the antique market and hang it on the gate and hall before the end of the year, and also prayed solemnly to her in a few words of local language that I could not understand a word.
At that time, I didn't understand: this thing is neither delicious nor beautiful, why do you have to spend money to buy it every year and hang it up, is it true that the gourd seven brothers will pop out of it?
Later, it wasn't until I stepped into the society and learned from an old gentleman in ancient literature that I understood my mother's good intentions:
It turned out that my mother had to squeeze money out of her teeth every year to buy a gourd to hang up, not really counting on "Fulu", but out of respect for traditional culture......
Perhaps this is also one of the most fundamental reasons why Chinese civilization can continue: one after another, one after another, generation after generation-
2. On the day of marriage in ancient times, couples generally needed to drink a kind of wine, which is equivalent to the current cup of wine...... The utensils used by the husband and wife to drink the wine are a gourd scoop that is slapped in half with a gourd.
Therefore, this gourd was also called "卺" in the past, that is, harmony and beauty, eternal union and one heart.
Three thousand weak water, only take one scoop of drink-
Maybe the real treasure of the town house is the husband and wife concentric-
——
Of course, in addition to the gourd, there are many objects that represent auspiciousness, such as the Chinese knot: a thousand hearts to a heart, the ends of the world to a heart, such as jade Ruyi: wishful wishes, all the best......
Three, Rui Beast
In traditional Chinese culture, there are many wild beasts, such as the phoenix, the green dragon, and the Xuanwu......
Therefore, through these various types of ancient beasts, many so-called university scholars and scholars in the West, after a long period of research, feel that Chinese is not cohesive, because they do not have a unified belief....... The gods they worship are very mixed, very messy, and numerous...... A plate of loose sand!
But is that really the case?
I think that the Chinese not only have a unified faith, but also are the most cohesive people in the world.
If the belief of Westerners is God, Jesus, Adam and Eve, then the belief of Chinese is heaven and earth, and nature...... And the phoenix, the green dragon, the Xuanwu and so on, which we have made up, seem to be "chaotic" ancient beasts, are actually the root of heaven and earth, the attributes of nature...... To put it bluntly, in fact, the unified belief of our Chinese is the natural law of all things in the universe...... Compared to the God of Westerners, we are a rational and understanding person.
Well, having said so much, in fact, there is only one point we want to discuss: although the phoenix, the green dragon, the xuanwu and so on are all a little mysterious, and even have a strong atmosphere of decay, but in fact, these are the crystallization of Chinese wisdom, the precious inheritance of Chinese civilization, rational beliefs, not feudal superstition.
Since these beasts are beliefs and inheritances, how should we move them home as one of the three treasures of "not rich but also town"?
Let's also sell Guanzi, there is one to say, and we will teach each other:
1, Golden Toad
It means to attract wealth and enter treasure
If you are doing business at home, you can put a statue.
2, jade unicorn
The unicorn is the ancestor of all beasts, able to deter demons from all directions, and the charm of the eight sides, if you feel that your eyelids have been jumping recently, you can try to put one......
In addition, those who plan to get pregnant and have children can also be placed: unicorn sending children——
3，貔貅
Legend has it that this product is a master who only enters but does not leave, so it is the best choice to use it to attract wealth and treasure at home.
4,Shilong
Ghosts are a symbol of longevity, and if there are elderly people in the family, you can put one on the table.
5, Bai Ze
This thing looks a bit like a sheep, very docile, and empathetic, put a statue at home, solve problems, and save the day......
——
Of course, as I said above, these beasts are just a kind of inheritance and a belief in the laws of nature, to put it bluntly, it is just a kind of faith, self-comfort, and true happiness comes from struggle:
Faith is important, but it also needs to be believed rationally, and hard work is the last word.
Summary:
Put three treasures at home, and if you are not rich, you will also live in the town
One said: ornaments of the landscape category
The second said: It represents the object of auspiciousness
Three: Rui Beast
Did you get it?
It's still the same sentence: good fortune and wealth are earned by hard work, hard work, and struggle, not by waiting, relying on what to put at home......
Thanks for watching!
Follow me, it will always bring you a different wonderful!
