In modern society, how much reference value does the wisdom of traditional culture have? Many people think that the customs of the ancients are nothing more than superstitions, but in fact, the wisdom contained in them may still inspire us in our lives. Feng Shui, in particular, is no longer blindly believed in now, but some of its concepts are quietly present in the design of home buildings. If you want to know how these traditional ideas can be combined with modern life, come and explore together!
Traditional culture still has reference value in modern society
The great countries of the East have a long history and culture since ancient times, which contains rich cultural traditions. In today's dynamic era, many people are skeptical or even negative about some ancient customs, habits and traditional concepts, believing that they are just absurd ideas produced by the superstition and ignorance of the ancients.
But in fact, this idea is extreme, because the fact that the ancients were able to create such a long history and in many ways have wisdom that can still be referred to in modern society is itself proof that the ancients could not be so simply denied.
Although modern society has made great progress, it has not made much breakthrough at the cultural level, which leads to us often being helpless when faced with some problems. Therefore, we should maintain a critical mindset and distinguish and inherit the wisdom left by the ancients, rather than simply one size fits all.
Modern people can critically inherit the wisdom of the ancients
We need to inherit the wisdom left by the ancients, but we need to understand what is useful and what needs to be eliminated.
On this topic, we have to mention Feng Shui, a traditional knowledge that has existed since ancient times. Feng Shui was regarded by many people as a panacea in ancient times, believing that as long as Feng Shui is done well, it can change one's destiny to a great extent.
Although most modern people do not blindly believe in feng shui, feng shui can still be seen in some parts of modern society.
For example, when designing family buildings, the concepts of the main house and side room in feng shui will still be put forward as a design reference in some places.
The concept of the main room and the wing room is actually similar to the master bedroom and the second bedroom that we usually say, both of which refer to rooms with certain priorities in the space design.
The wing room generally refers to the room in the secondary position, which is mainly used as a living room, dining room, study, storage room, etc. The main room generally refers to the important room in the center, such as the master bedroom.
Although this arrangement is very reasonable in space design, it should be noted that modern life is very different from ancient times. Therefore, when carrying out spatial planning, we should not rigidly apply the concept of ancient Feng Shui.
For example, there is a saying that "it is better to have no wing room in the courtyard than a large shed in the courtyard", which believes that the large shed will affect the feng shui of the family. Although such a statement is valid in some cases, it cannot be blindly applied to modern society.
Because the shed actually has an extremely important function and significance in rural areas, and the awning in rural areas is also an indispensable existence in the daily life of farmers.
Although the shed is in line with the ancients' saying that there should be no "greenhouse" in the courtyard from some angles, with the development of modern life to the point where it is now, the shed no longer only has the function of "shading".
There are also many villa groups in modern rural areas, and although the small villas are beautifully built, the awnings are particularly important. Awnings not only block the sun's rays, but also protect facilities such as vehicles and farm tools from the wind and sun.
It can also provide an outdoor recreation space, which can effectively expand the use of indoor and outdoor spaces. Therefore, although awnings have many benefits in modern life, their construction also needs to weigh the pros and cons.
After the construction of the awning, it will also affect the surrounding environment and other residents' interests, such as affecting the growth of plants in the yard, lighting, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably plan the location, quantity, height and other factors of the construction of large sheds.
In addition, there are no strict restrictions on housing construction planning in rural areas, so blindly building large sheds will undoubtedly bring certain hidden dangers. We must keep a clear mind about the construction of large sheds, and make reasonable plans after weighing the pros and cons.
