As the saying goes: the eyes do not bask in the roots, and the mouth does not swallow the yang, what does 'dry the roots and swallow the yang' mean? Does it make sense?

The Chinese nation has existed on the stage of history for thousands of years. In the history of thousands of years, the soul and spiritual cohesion of the nation has been well reflected.

Because the development of ancient science and technology has not yet reached the initial stage, information is blocked and cannot be widely disseminated. Back then, people were crazy about new things.

After all, there are very few entertainment programs, and people in each city don't know each other. Over time, even if it's only a few hundred kilometers, other cities won't know.

However, in this thorny situation, it also proves a problem from the side, that is how the amazing ancient poems of the past have been handed down. I believe everyone has a unique answer in their hearts.

Under the background of extremely backward technological development, the way of recording beautiful moments through pen, ink, paper and inkstone has become a key means of preserving culture. In the royal family with strict rules, there will be someone dedicated to recording a milestone event.

However, in the folks with limited conditions, they will use oral transmission to remember the good words of their ancestors, among which there are many sayings that the sun does not dry the roots and the mouth does not swallow the sun.

01 Good words of ancestors in the feudal era.

After all, in feudal times, everyone was superstitious, and atheism didn't even exist at the time. In addition to devotion to the Buddha, people will immediately respect their ancestors when they hear their good words, because it is a heritage of ancient cultures.

The so-called sun does not bask in the roots and the moon does not swallow the yang is a famous saying passed down from the ancestors, but there are also many doubts about this sentence, such as basking in the roots, and whether the meaning of swallowing the yang can be related to modern life.

Wait, that's the question. For contemporary people, first of all, let's be clear. The meaning of this sentence is to remind future generations to pay attention to some points when building a house, so that these eight characters are born.

When it comes to building a house, we must mention the concept of Feng Shui. Feng Shui is an esoteric knowledge with a long history. So far, when feng shui is mentioned in China, the vast majority of people are still willing to believe that it has an implausible concept.

Today, thousands of years have passed since the feudal society, but people still respect Feng Shui knowledge subconsciously.

It can be seen that the act of looking at feng shui on the eve of buying a house still occupies a dominant position in the buyer's mind, and then divert their attention. It is not difficult to understand the meaning of drying the roots without the sun. The root refers to the root of each family.

As the name suggests, there are beams that hit the base of the wall. Bright sunlight means a thriving sight. However, in the eyes of ancestors, it is not optimistic that the roots of the wall are exposed to the sun for too long.

02 Days without drying the roots and swallowing the sun

there are many reasons. First of all, the ancestors believed that the air luck of each house had been frozen in the early stage of building, and the air luck naturally needed careful care.

But when the light shines on the root of the wall for a long time. Ancestors will feel that the luck of the family will be dispelled to a certain extent. Invisible, illusory objects like luck are unlikely to be well protected if they are exposed to the line of sight for extended periods of time.

Although there is no obvious logical loophole. In an age when information is extremely closed and difficult to communicate with each other, almost every family counts the advice of their ancestors as a lifelong treasure.

In addition, in the eyes of the ancients, luck is a very important thing. Even this practice of pinning part of the future on luck is inconsistent in contemporary eyes. The path of scientific development has two sides, which need to be discussed according to the times.

In the era when the feudal system was at its peak, it was understandable that people's thoughts were naturally influenced by the social system.

In addition, when it comes to not drying the roots, we must mention that a key point that people must consider when building a house is whether the height of the house after it is built is in line with common sense.

Building a house is a must for human settlement. Over the years of evolution, people's experience in building houses will naturally increase.

If the sun shines at the roots of the walls, it means the house was unreasonable when it was built. Unreasonable rooms in the future will have problems over time.

So it seems that the ancestors also went through countless experiments and summaries before coming to the truth that the sun does not dry the roots.

Rooting means that the sun shines on the roots of the wall, but not swallowing the sun means that the door of the house must have most of the sun shining into the house. The ancient buildings are basically bungalows, which are the portrayal of the folks.

Even when the royal family is building a house, consider whether the sun will collide and the mental state of the house.

Feudal society, whether it is royalty or ordinary people, will be respected in their hearts when it comes to family ancestors, just because it represents the inheritance of the family.

03 The meaning of swallowing Yang is more inclusive

At the same time, due to the importance of the spiritual position, people are always very concerned about the spiritual position. Ancestors generally believed that it was a great disrespect to the ancestors when the light shone on the spiritual position.

It can be seen that swallowing the yang does not swallow the yang, representing the door, the door is the guest, the entry channel, if the door is designed too large, then in daily life, the light will shine into the house unscrupulously.

In this way, the spiritual position will definitely be affected. With the respect of the ancients for the spiritual position, this situation is absolutely not allowed to happen.

Although these eight-character sayings are unlikely to cause too many waves in the hearts of contemporary people, they are famous sayings that everyone fears in feudal society. Even if there is a sentence that affects people's lives, don't listen to the old people's words, the old people are advancing in the wind and frost, and their pain is far greater than that of the young people, so maybe the old people's words do not start from scientific concepts.

However, common sayings carry great truths passed down from too many ancestors. These truths sound simple, but they cannot hide the love of our ancestors for cultural heritage.

Today, few people know this phrase, but none of that matters. Today, a highly developed society that only emphasizes science. It seems that the concept once filled with feudal color is no longer widely spread, but its existence is reasonable, but the superstitious concept, the glorious period of modern people, has not witnessed the scene of its prosperity.

Only an era can have the cultural appearance of an era, and the past of the old era shows the ending of a culture. By the same token, however, the rise of the new age also proves that culture can be a diverse thing.

Therefore, while the older generation adheres to the old concept, the young people of the new era should also understand that the concept of taking the best and removing the dross still applies today. Tolerance for backward cultures may make history’s ancestors more gratifying.
