In the mouths of our ancestors, some words of wisdom seem mysterious, but they contain deep life philosophy. Today, let's talk about the long-standing saying "the house and the grave look at each other, and the children and grandchildren are not prosperous". This sentence, simple four words, hides a set of ancient feng shui concepts behind it.
First of all, we have to understand that "house" here refers to the house, and "tomb" symbolizes the home of the ancestors. The ancients believed that people's luck was closely related to the living environment, especially the spiritual world of their ancestors. If the house is too close to the cemetery, like day and night, this pattern is called "chongsha" in feng shui. It means that the vitality of the family (i.e., the vitality and fortune of the family) can be eroded by the yin energy of the cemetery, affecting the health and career development of future generations.
I remember that the ancients Li Yu once said: "People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless." "Home is our haven, and if this harbor is always shrouded in a cold atmosphere, how can we expect to grow strong vitality in it? The lack of prosperity of children and grandchildren is not only a lack of material resources, but also a spiritual depression and a lack of positive motivation.
Moreover, this sentence also reminds us to respect nature and conform to the way of heaven. In the face of nature, human beings should remain humble and not overly intervene. If we pursue material abundance too much and ignore harmony with heaven and earth, it may be counterproductive.
However, this is not to say that we should be superstitious about Feng Shui, but we should know how to find balance in our lives. A warm and comfortable home, coupled with respect and inheritance for ancestors, is the true source of prosperity. The ancients said: "In the house of goodness, there must be afterglow." "If the family style is positive, the children and grandchildren will have a good foundation.
To sum up, the old saying "the house and the grave face each other, the children and grandchildren are not prosperous" is actually a warning to us to know how to create an environment that is suitable for life and can be connected with the spirit of our ancestors. Although it is ancient, the truth in it is still applicable in modern society. Let us treat life and our ancestors with a heart of awe, and let our home become a fertile soil for the growth of our children and grandchildren.
