Chinese culture has a long history, from ancient times to modern times, and many customs and habits have been handed down. For traditional culture, we have always adhered to the attitude of taking its essence and removing its dross.
After thousands of years of history, in addition to some customs and habits, there are many sayings related to feng shui, which can even be explained by current science, which is worthy of the attention of many young people now.
For example, "there are three emptiness in the family, and the children and grandchildren are poor", what emptiness does these three emptiness refer to, and is there any basis and reason for it?
1. The living room cannot be empty
In ancient times, the living room was not called the living room, but the middle hall, which was the most important place in the home.
From table ornaments to flower pots, they are all very particular and cannot be placed at will.
The furnishings of the central hall generally show the knowledge, bearing and taste of the owner of the house.
In ancient times, people used the middle hall to carry out daily banquets, gatherings, weddings and funerals at home and other activities, but wherever it is necessary to calm the scene, it must be in the middle hall.
The ancients attached great importance to this aspect, but anyone who was not poor and couldn't open the pot would set up a central hall at home.
The furnishings of the nave are usually symmetrical.
Wealthy and famous families often spend a lot of effort on the wood of furniture, use precious wood, and find experts to customize.
The overall effect will also appear more solemn and serious, without losing taste.
Even ordinary people will place the most expensive furniture in the middle hall.
The ancients believed that the middle hall was the façade of a family, and if you went to someone else's house as a guest and saw the furnishings of the middle hall, you could often see the heritage of this family.
Since ancient times, Mu Qiang is the nature of most people, people love and have money and power, or have fame and talent want to make friends.
Therefore, the better the central hall is set up, the more it will attract people to visit your home, and it will be easier to make friends with people, which is very conducive to building a network.
The importance of the middle hall is self-evident to the ancients, and the ancients would not allow the middle hall of their homes to be empty unless they had to do so.
They think that if the hall is empty, it means that no one in the family will come and they will not be able to establish personal connections.
The ancients had a very simple way of socializing, with no Internet, no mobile phones, televisions and other media.
The hall is the best place for them to socialize, maintain relationships, and get news, so the ancients would think that if the hall is empty, the house will start to decline and become poorer and poorer.
The middle hall has been passed down to the present, not only the name has been changed to the living room, but even the placement is completely different from the ancients.
The basic configuration of the living room is sofa, coffee table, small stool, TV cabinet and other furniture.
Nowadays, people's living conditions are getting better and better, there are many restaurants outside, and the home is generally no longer used to entertain guests.
Whenever there are some large banquets, they will choose to go to the hotel or restaurant for reception.
The living room is more often a place for families to catch up on dramas and chat together after dinner, and the most important thing to get along with the family is comfort.
Then the sofa has become the first choice for the living room, and almost every sofa will be placed on the sofa. When the family chats together and connects with each other, you also need to place some drinks and snacks on the coffee table.
In addition, there can be a TV in the living room that broadcasts news or programs, which can add a lot of topics to the family.
In modern society, the importance of the living room is also very high.
Once the living room is empty and there is nothing, the family lives in the same room, but every day the parents are busy getting off work and the children are busy studying.
When you come home after a tiring day, there's no right place to get together and talk about what happened that day.
Over time, children and their parents, and even grandparents, will have estrangement, and they don't understand each other's ideas.
The atmosphere at home is indifferent, and when you return home after a tiring day, you can't relax, and people will become more and more negative.
Even if the living room in modern society is not used to entertain guests, it cannot be empty, which will seriously affect the atmosphere of a home and the mood of the family.
Second, the kitchen should not be empty
As the saying goes, people live on food, and a person can not take a bath or go out to play for a long time, but he cannot go without eating for a long time.
But as long as human beings live, they have to deal with food, which means that the kitchen has a very high status in a home.
In ancient times, the kitchen was called a kitchen, and every household from the royal family and nobles to the common people was indispensable.
And the kitchen is generally full of kitchenware and ingredients.
In the kitchen, we can cook a variety of dishes with simple ingredients, and we can also cook different foods according to the physical condition of each person in our family to meet the nutritional needs of the body.
Of course, there are also many young people who say that they don't know how to cook, and they don't need a kitchen, and they go out to eat or order takeout for three meals a day.
We can't say that this kind of behavior and habits are bad, after all, everyone has their own living habits, and the development and progress of society is to give people more choices.
For people who can't cook, you can buy food for three meals a day, but there are always special circumstances when you can't order takeout or even go out.
Affected by the epidemic in the past few years, the Internet was full of all kinds of simple food cooking tutorials, just to keep people who can't cook from going hungry.
Of course, the probability of this special situation happening is very small, but the benefits of learning some skills in a person always outweigh the disadvantages.
Especially for married families with children, the kitchen is really the most smoky presence in a home.
In the kitchen, you can cook a variety of food for your loved ones, and the sense of accomplishment is high.
It can also make the family feel your care for them, so as to make the home atmosphere more harmonious.
The old man often says, "the poor look at the hall, the rich look at the kitchen", the frequency of use of the kitchen at home is the highest, three meals a day, cooking and washing dishes, etc., the frequency of entering the kitchen is not less than a dozen times a day.
Whether there is fireworks in a home or not, whether the family atmosphere is harmonious or not, the kitchen can reflect most of the situation.
Once the kitchen is empty, the husband and wife often eat out, although the two have less firewood, rice, oil and salt quarrels, but also less firewood, rice, oil and salt to bring the run-in and atmosphere.
Husband and wife will gradually lose their sense of belonging to the family, and it is easy to face and feel discordant, and have different dreams in the same bed, which will seriously affect the harmonious life of the family.
There is a saying circulating on the Internet that in addition to love, what heals people's hearts is food.
A home kitchen with complete kitchenware and abundant ingredients, whether it is early in the morning or late at night, you can eat a bowl of hot food when you are sad, and warm people's hearts.
It can be seen that the kitchen has a very high status in the home, and it must not be left empty.
3. The study room cannot be empty
The ancients often said that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", this sentence is not so appropriate in today's society, because our current concept is "three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion".
Whether it is the famous words of the ancients or the new ideas of modern people, it is undeniable that the importance of reading is undeniable, and a person with a strong reserve of knowledge can often change a person's destiny.
In ancient times, scholars could pass the imperial examination, so as to be promoted to the official position, and change the life of several generations of the whole family.
With the fast pace of modern life and the popularity of the Internet and e-books, few people are immersed in the sea of physical books after completing their studies.
Having a special study room full of books can increase the family's interest in reading and allow people to temporarily get rid of electronic products such as mobile phones and computers.
At the same time, you can improve your knowledge reserve and enrich your spiritual pursuit through reading.
In the busy fast pace of life, find inner peace and cultivate sentiment.
"Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles", the world of adults is busy, and there is little time to go all over the great rivers and mountains.
Even if you have time, you may not have enough money to support your pace, and by reading, you can make up for this shortcoming.
Especially for children, when they don't have enough ability to travel thousands of miles, read 10,000 books first.
In the future, when they go to any piece of land in the motherland, they will think of the scenes described in the book, and the words in the book will appear in front of them.
The meaning of the study room is not only to read, but also to work, study, etc.
A room full of books and a quiet atmosphere can make people temporarily let go of their inner impetuousness, calm down, go to study, go to work, and greatly improve their work efficiency.
The study room is an indispensable existence for a family, and it is an important place for family members to improve their self-cultivation and find inner peace.
After having a study room, books, desks, office equipment, and study materials are indispensable in the study room.
The study room must not be left empty, otherwise it will be just a quiet empty room, and it will not provide spiritual food for the family.
Being in an empty house can also be easily sentimental, leading to emotional instability.
summary
Regardless of whether you have money or not, the living room, kitchen, and study at home, these three important places, should not be empty, and the days will always get better and better.
Some of the idioms that the ancients have passed down for thousands of years through a long history and can still be preserved to this day always have their essence.
From this point of view, "there are three emptiness in the family, and the children and grandchildren are poor", whether in ancient or modern times, is a very well-founded saying, this sentence is a summary of the wisdom of predecessors.
If you don't have money to leave to your children and grandchildren, then create a good family atmosphere for him.
Cooking him a healing meal when he was frustrated, and providing him with enough books for him to study is the best gift for him.
As the saying goes, "it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish", the best thing you can leave to the next generation is not a house, a car, or money, but a strong and colorful heart, sufficient knowledge reserves and survival skills.
So do you think so?
