There is a saying in the countryside that "it is better to borrow a house than to lose it, and not to borrow a house in pairs".
It means that you can lend your house to others to park coffins, but you can't lend your house to couples or couples to sleep in a room. This is an old saying in the countryside, which has its own deep meaning behind it.

If someone dies, you can lend him a house to put his coffin. In the countryside, someone dies, and the whole village is usually there. As long as there is nothing to do, they will go to the funeral. Especially when an old man dies at home, he usually stays at home for a few days, and the funeral can only be held when all the children in other places go home to see the old man. Generally, the funeral will last at least three days, because there will be many relatives and friends coming and going. Once his house is not enough, he will borrow his neighbor's house to put a wreath and hold a funeral, and the neighbor will not refuse. This is because there is a saying in the countryside that white things are auspicious and the dead can take away bad luck.

In our traditional culture, life can be reincarnation. When a person dies, a new life will be born, which is why neighbors borrow houses to stop people's mourning, which is equivalent to helping their homes add food and imports.

Couples or couples can't sleep in the same bed when they borrow someone else's house. They must sleep in separate beds, because in rural areas, we all think that the bedroom at home is the most secret place, that is, a very private place, so we can't lend it to others for private affairs. Once an outsider comes to live at home, husband and wife and lovers will live separately, otherwise it will bring bad luck, just the opposite.

So now many young people don't understand why they should take the other half home to live and sleep separately. This is actually an old habit, which the older generation has become accustomed to. If the elders want couples to live separately, they'd better abide by it. This is also a kind of respect for the elderly, but it is not common now.
