A rural saying: 'The bed is against two walls, and the family suffers from illness.' Is it still in use today?

As the saying goes, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. Many of the lessons learned by predecessors through proverbs are still invaluable. But at the same time, there are also some proverbs that are gradually out of touch with the times.

So the rural proverb "the bed is against two walls, the family is sick" can still inspire people in modern society? What is its specific meaning?

wall with windows

The so-called bed against two walls has three main meanings. One is not against the wall with windows, the other is not against the wall near the bathroom, and the third is not against the walls on both sides.

In terms of not relying on walls with windows, the reason is that windows were widely believed in ancient societies to connect a room to the outside world. So many "dangers" from the outside world also enter the room through the windows.

Because the external force is transmitted to the room, the dust outside the window will inevitably fall on the bed by the window for the first time.

Over time, the constant accumulation of this part of the dust will definitely affect the health of the individual. Due to the relatively backward medical conditions and medical cognition in ancient rural areas, when someone fell ill unexpectedly but no specific cause could be found, this seemingly superstitious statement was passed down by word of mouth.

But it would also be wrong to say that this understanding is completely unreasonable. After all, when the door is inward, the only way for dust to enter the room is the window.

If it is not cleaned up in time, it is indeed possible that the bacteria in these dusts and dusts are infected with corresponding diseases.

In addition, in ancient societies, road traffic in rural areas was relatively quiet, and the noise generated by vehicles was not even as good as human voices. But modern society is different. It's hard to have a place without noise on the street.

Therefore, the quality of individual sleep is severely affected, and the body is deteriorating, and it is also destined to be regarded as the arrival of the disease.

Even today, the rural proverb applies equally well, the only difference being that there are some detail requirements up front.

wall near toilet

Secondly, the wall near the toilet cannot be leaned against, and the reason is very simple. The houses in ancient rural areas are very simple, and the partitions are relatively simple whether it is the lobby, bedroom or bathroom.

If you put the bed on a wall near the bathroom, let alone air pollution, you can't stand it. Bacteria, mosquitoes, etc. in the bathroom can also make people uncomfortable.

Living in a short period of time is not a big problem, but after a long time, the human body will definitely be seriously affected, and the disease will come uninvited.

In fact, in ancient society, many passers-by would face a similar situation when looking for a post or inn to stay.

At this time, they must make a choice. If the cost factor is considered, they can live in a guest room close to the thatched hut. If the comfort is considered, the corresponding room can be excluded at the first time.

It can be seen from this that different neighbors have different intuitive effects on people.

Fortunately, in modern society, a similar situation has changed. Better partitions and cleaner living conditions no longer make people worry about going to the bathroom.

Even in many families, the pattern of the master bedroom with a bathroom has long been commonplace. The second wall is obviously no longer applicable to modern society.

bed in the corner of the wall

The bed is in the corner of the wall, which is the most common layout for many tenants. Real-life pressures often don't allow people to make more choices.

But if life gradually improves, then the bed connected to the corner will become less and less common.

This is not only the aesthetic influence of modern house layout, but also the interference of ancient traditional cognition.

Putting the bed in the corner is sure to make the whole room look cramped. No matter how much space is left, this feeling of cramping will not dissipate.

There is no other reason. The sofa is crowded with corners, always giving people a different psychological feeling. This is all the more disturbing, especially when everyone spends a third of their life sleeping in bed.

When anxiety and impatience affect your body, it can cause physical discomfort before you know it. Whether ancient or modern, the discomfort is exactly the same.

Therefore, the ancients suggested through a saying that your own bed should never be near the window, toilet, or near the corner. Otherwise, sleep uncomfortable, asking for trouble.

There are many similar ancient proverbs. Changes in times and circumstances have changed the premise and background of people's understanding of proverbs. At this point, we should have a proper understanding and understanding.

Of course, the wisdom in the old saying is that the benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom. Due to different personal feelings, the emphasis will still be different, which also requires people to judge for themselves.

Like the large heated kang in the northeast, it not only connects three walls, but also closes to the windows. What is the explanation for this? Treating proverbs with dialectical thinking is the correct cognitive attitude that modern people should have.
