If you are interested, just read on.

The meaning of \”gatehouse\” in whether the gatehouse is to the left or not to the right

First, let’s take a look at the first half of this saying. To understand this sentence , we must first understand what the \”gatehouse\” in this sentence is

Gateway, simply described as an archway-style facade with a roof on the gate. It often appears in temples or mansions, giving people a special style. Feeling. Some residents’ house gates will be built like this, and the saying we are talking about today The \”gatehouse\” actually refers to the gate of a resident\’s house, and this kind of gate actually has different forms. It may be the gate of a resident\’s home, or it may be the gate at the entrance of a village, or it may be used to represent a family. Branch gate. Now that we understand the meaning of gatehouse, let us explain the meaning of the first half of this saying.

The gatehouse is to the left rather than to the right

In ancient times, people believed that when building a house, it was best to face the east, south, or southeast. Among them, the southeast direction is the most popular. This is because all three directions allow the house to receive sunlight, and houses located in the southeast direction receive the most sunlight. A house that is constantly exposed to sunlight can remove moisture from the house and keep the people living in it in a healthy state. Moreover, people in ancient times were very particular about it. A house illuminated by sunlight was known as a place for gathering wealth, which meant good luck. So everyone likes this kind of house.

So when the main house is the center, the house on the left is the three directions mentioned above, and the house on the right is in the southwest direction. and the West. Ancient people considered it very unlucky for a house to be on the right side. Because generally only people who have passed away will say \”Go to the West\”, such as the word \”Guixi\”. Ancient people also believed that the west was the direction for dispersing wealth. If a house was built in this direction, it would not be beneficial to the development of the family. This is why it is said that \”the gatehouse should be to the left or not to the right.\”

Stay in front of the main room, not in the back

After explaining the first half of this saying, let’s take a look at the second half of this saying.

The main hall plays a great role both in ancient times and in modern times. It is also generally used for the following five things: receiving guests, newlyweds paying homage, and holding important events. Etiquette, death of an ancestor in the family Parking and placing ancestral tablets. From these five things, you can understand how important the main room is to people. It can hold so many important things, and the importance of corruption is natural. metaphor, so it can only be moved forward and not backward.

And in ancient times, people were very particular about regional divisions. The use of each piece of land was clearly divided, making it clear at a glance, so the main room needed to hold so many functions. The existence of important things must naturally be separated from the place of rest. Building the main room in the front is also convenient for family members and guests. If the main room is built in the back, it will invade the privacy of the family and may also affect the family\’s rest in a place where etiquette is very important. In ancient times, this kind of thing would never happen. This is why the main room should be closer to the front than to the back.

Nowadays, people don’t pay as much attention to the main room as before. They just use it as a space for family members to live. Some families We were still eating and laughing in the main room. There is no longer the feeling of ancient times. But no matter what, the construction method of not leaning towards the front or back of the main hall has continued.

To sum up, there is an explanation of this saying. Does everyone understand it? In fact, most people pay attention to Feng Shui when it comes to the way their houses are built, and there are not many substantive reasons. But if you can find peace of mind, it doesn\’t matter if you are particular about it.
