Most of the ancient houses built before liberation are located in paddy fields near the mountains. In Yongjia, Taishun, Wencheng and other mountainous areas, this position is almost iron law. Why choose to build your own residence at the foot of the mountain instead of the field? In our view today, this is hard to understand. First, the construction cost is relatively high; Secondly, the traffic is relatively inconvenient; Third, it brings inconvenience to agricultural production. If you choose to build in the middle of the site, all the problems will be solved. But we ancient people seem to be very stubborn, and we have to choose to build a house at the foot of the mountain. What is this? After a lot of interviews, investigations and research, we finally got the answer.
1 means saving cultivated land and cultivated land. China has been founded by agriculture since ancient times. It can be said that the long history of China is a history of farming culture. The old adage that "the sky is behind the earth" and "food is the sky for the people" originated from farming civilization and is also a vivid portrayal of this reality. Land is the foundation of life. Losing land means losing the basic right to exist. The relationship between farmers and land in China is like the relationship between life and blood. In our Wenzhou, this relationship is particularly unforgettable. Because there are many mountains and few fields in Wenzhou, every inch of land is precious, and farmers choose to live by the mountains, which is precisely based on the extreme cherish of the land.
2. It is the concrete embodiment of "relying on mountains to eat mountains". Today, we say that someone has a prosperous career and that someone has a strong "backer". "Relying on the Mountain" is actually a direct reflection of a cruel social reality. It expresses a person's dream of relying on a kind of help (whether from God or human beings) to change his destiny. This kind of desire and dream has been transformed by the secular and Yin-Yang gossip theory, and has become a kind of metaphysics that is almost superstitious. According to this theory, the graves of ancestors and the geography where they live, that is, "Feng Shui", will have a powerful force to help mankind completely change their destiny. Therefore, ancestors are generally willing to build their houses at the foot of the mountain, eager to get the help of mysterious geomantic omen, so that their families can prosper and their crops and livestock can prosper.
Geographically, the house built on the mountain can resist the flood in winter and can be connected in summer.
