We have many common sayings in China, most of which are passed down orally from the older generation. In rural areas, there are many such sayings, and they also have many taboos. But in fact, many of them are feudal superstitions, and science can also explain them. But many of them are also the crystallization of the experience of the elderly and the wisdom of the ancients. We should take the best of these and discard the dross.

"If there is water behind the house, you will see the grave when you open the door, and the family will be ruined and the children will not return." is a common saying in house construction. This sentence is somewhat exaggerated, but there are still some things that can be learned. .

Having water behind the house means that when planning a house and selecting a construction site, it is best not to have a flowing water source behind the house. In fact, this kind of construction method is more common in the south, because water is almost everywhere in the south, and rivers and ponds can be seen basically everywhere. During the summer flood season, the water level will rise. If the water level rises particularly large, it will flood the house and cause damage to the foundation of the house. Especially during floods, houses may even be destroyed, causing casualties and affecting life safety.

In the minds of Chinese people, graves are places where deceased people live. It is very unlucky to see a grave when you open the door. The elderly will be very taboo about such things and think it is very unlucky. If this is a new grave, there will be many wreaths, paper lanterns and other colorful things placed around it when it is first buried. If you see it suddenly at night, it will scare people, and even children will be scared.

In fact, this sentence is a summary of architectural Feng Shui. Many Chinese sayings still have some truth. They contain the wisdom of ancient Chinese people and can be regarded as an inheritance of our Chinese history.
