Four pleasures of ancient houses:
One: There are four joys in the house, and the first one is the swallow in front of the hall.
Ancient times: In the old days, Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people. Swallows were not only good helpers of human beings, but also regarded as auspicious symbols. Especially in ancient times, swallows usually built their nests on tall houses and liked to live in a happy and peaceful family, so there was a saying that "swallows don't enter the bitter cold door" Of course, this does not mean that swallows are too poor to love the rich, but because of their character, so the ancients believed that flying swallows in front of the hall was a happy event and a symbol of great wealth. In this case, ordinary people will not disturb the lives of swallows, and hope they can come every year.
Two: the house has four joys and the second joy: the dead wood meets the spring.
In rural areas, many people like to plant trees at home, which can not only make their homes full of green and make people feel happy, but also play a role in cooling off the heat in summer. In the traditional concept, old trees can not only pray for blessings, but also be transported, especially the lush trees at home mean that the family business is prosperous. But all trees have a growth cycle, and trees will die one day. If you see dead trees and new buds in the yard, it means something good will happen at home. The ancients believed that there were old trees and dead trees at home, which symbolized loyalty and family heirloom, and there was a strong atmosphere of respecting the elderly. Dead trees meet spring, never leave, there are blessings at home, and people are prosperous!
Three: four joys in the house, and the third joy: evil dog guarding the door.
There is a saying in the countryside that "pigs are poor and dogs are rich". In ancient times, people's lives were relatively poor, and raising dogs was the work of a big family. It is not easy for ordinary people to fill their stomachs, let alone keep a dog that eats meat. In the eyes of the ancients, dogs were a symbol of wealth, and many times dogs were as noble as horses. The ancients believed that the richer the family, the fiercer the dog. Therefore, there is also a saying that dogs fight with people and dogs look down on people. Over time, there is a saying that "the family is rich and the dog is evil."
Four: There are four kinds of happiness in the house. The fourth kind of happiness: the suspended spring spider.
Many people have the impression that families with dense cobwebs are ruined families. In fact, there is a saying in the countryside that "the spider hangs up, and the god of wealth comes", and the folk spider is also called "happy word", which means a good sign of happiness. Spiders don't hurt people, but they can catch mosquitoes and flies, reducing the harassment to people, and the spider's body looks very "happy". Therefore, the ancients thought that there was an Okumo net in the courtyard as a symbol of pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Therefore, spider suspension spring is a symbol of wealth.
