Building a house in the countryside, quiet and elegant environment is the first choice. If you can't meet this standard, you would rather choose the bustling street in front of your house than the narrow path behind your house. Why is this?

Let me give you an example. For example, if a person comes to you, even if he has a knife in his hand, I believe everyone will not be so afraid, because this person is within our sight, and we can make a quick response to this person.

On the contrary, someone crept past you, even if he didn't mean to hurt anyone with his bare hands, we were still surprised when we found him, and our hearts would pass by the question: "When will this person be behind me?" What does he want? "

Because we can't see him and don't know his situation, we can't help but feel scared. This is human nature. In other words, "an open gun is easy to hide, but an open arrow is hard to prevent."

The same is true in environmental safety. There is a noisy street in front of the house. Although the noise will affect the owner, after all, when you sleep at night, the crowd will disperse, and people on the street will have a rest when you sleep, which will not have much influence.

But there is one advantage: thieves dare not patronize places in need, and thieves can't hide secrets. There are two noisy streets, and building a house in this environment is also a good choice.

I've tasted this feeling. I remember that when I stayed in a hotel on business, there was a path behind the hotel room. Someone walked by in the middle of the night, and I woke up inexplicably, as if someone was going to attack me from behind and didn't sleep well all night.

Now that I think about it, it is the true portrayal of this sentence "I don't want the feet behind the house to ring."

This old saying applies to ancient times. In the past, the walls of quadrangles were all very short, "blocking gentlemen and not blocking villains." It is best to face the street in front and the path behind. If someone passes by, it is not difficult to steal in the hospital. Besides, the back path is inaccessible, and at midnight, anything is possible. Therefore, the owner is most afraid of hearing the footstep sound behind the house.

There is an old saying in the countryside that "it is better to make trouble in front of the door than behind the house". This proverb has several meanings, one is literal, the other is extended, and the other is under certain circumstances. Let me give you one together.

The first is the meaning of the word itself. Rural houses pay attention to a backer, the front is empty, and the mountains, slopes and forests behind are the first choice. In the old man's words, living in such a house will make you feel at ease and secure. It is not that there is no road, and no one will choose to build a house with the back of the road.

I don't know whether it is safe or not, but if the house is backed by the main road, I feel really uncomfortable. I always feel as if something is wrong. Maybe it's because it's natural to make noise in front, and people often walk around behind. Do you feel sick? Do you feel that living in such a house is to turn your back on others and have no sense of privacy, which is particularly unnatural?

Such a house is taboo in the countryside. I don't know why, living in such a house always happens. There are more than 260 households in a natural village, 1000 people, and only a few houses face this way. Whether it's a coincidence or something, in short, people who live like this are slowly declining, there are many accidents at home, and their families are in poor health.

The second is extended meaning. It is aboveboard to make a noise in front, which means "an open gun is easy to block, but an open arrow is difficult to guard against". That is to say, tell everyone that if there is anything, you are not afraid to put it out in front of the gongs and drums, but you are afraid to play tricks in the dark. I think it is still very vivid to explain this old saying with this meaning.

Finally, it means under certain circumstances. As we all know, the back of the big house used to be our own backyard, which was a relatively private place. Guests are not allowed to enter the backyard without the owner's consent.

Therefore, it's good to make a noise in front of you, but not good when the pedal behind you rings. Either robbers come to rob you or thieves come to your door. Worst of all, the lady or young lady at home has a story. Who wants something like this?

What does the rural proverb "It is better to make trouble in front of the door than to tread on the foot behind the house" mean?

In rural areas, when building a house, there are principal rooms, wing rooms and yards. Some homes have backyards, while others have no backyards. I'd rather make noise in front of the door, mainly because there is traffic and noise outside. It's nothing, but it will be reassuring, because thieves are afraid to come when there are many people. Moreover, there is still a distance from the main house outside the gate, and the noise will basically not affect sleeping.

If there is no backyard at home, there is a road behind the main house. If you hear footsteps when you sleep at night, you may be in trouble. Who walks around the back of the house at night? If it is not a thief or a malicious person, the master will not be able to sleep peacefully. In addition, if footsteps occasionally appear behind the house, even passers-by will affect the owner's sleep, and timid people will be afraid. So after a long time, it will definitely affect people's sleep quality and health.

Generally speaking, people are not afraid to make noise in front of the door, because those who dare to speak loudly are aboveboard and will not cheat. I'm afraid those who walk around the back of the house without talking are all up to no good. This sentence is actually similar to the meaning that "an open gun is easier to hide than an open enemy".

The old rural saying "It is better to make trouble in front of the door than behind the house" actually means that "an open gun is easier to hide than an open enemy".

In rural areas, people who build houses like to face south with their backs to the north. I like to leave a spacious flat space in front of the door, where I can do threshing when harvesting wheat and other farm work. When there is a wedding at home, it can also be used as a place for ceremonies and banquets.

Generally speaking, the back of the house depends on farmland, mountains or even rivers. In short, there is no door behind the house, even the gable of the house is used as a fence, and there is no spacious boundary. If you walk behind the house, you basically can't find your way, or you can take the path.

Therefore, "noisy in front of the door" in rural areas, the relatively light situation is at most a red and white wedding. Weddings and funerals at home will inevitably cost money, and it is also possible to cause trouble and even quarrel. But no matter who comes, everyone comes in and out through the front door, and everything is in front of them.

But the problem of "footsteps behind the house" is big. Because there is no road behind the house, normally, what you do in a family will basically not go behind the house. Going to the back of the house is also to avoid the sight of others and turn into the house through the window. Then the purpose of going to this family is very clear, either turning the window into the house to steal things or throwing bricks at the window behind the house. In short, you must do something shameful.

As the saying goes, "an open gun is easier to hide than an open arrow." "Noisy in front of the door" means that the two families are in conflict, and they are not afraid of a bunch of people blocking the main door with guys.

Because whether it's fighting or talking, it's public. In the rural acquaintance society, there are bound to be contradictions, spacious in front of the door and broad in vision. An acquaintance can tell at a glance, and soon the mediator will come. All acquaintances look up but don't look down, so this matter is slow and can be solved in many ways.

But in the middle of the night, there was clanging footsteps behind the house, and something would happen. This shows that the other party doesn't want to solve the problem peacefully with you at all, and coming from behind the house is revenge.

However, the original context of the phrase "it is better to make trouble in front of the door than behind the house" has now lost the original environment of agricultural civilization. Nowadays, with the urbanization, many rural people have entered the cities. In addition, even in rural areas, rural housing began to focus on building houses, and the previous environment almost disappeared. So its original literal meaning is worthless,

However, the implication of "not afraid to play drums face to face, but afraid of others stumbling behind and using dirty tricks" is still of great practical significance.

Text/fried rice perspective

Many rural old sayings are related to the living environment. This also reflects the importance that farmers attach to housing construction. In fact, farmers are also very particular about the location of their houses. For example, as the old saying goes, it is better to bury the dead in front of the house than in the back.

The front says grave, but this one doesn't. It's about building roads. Whether in the city or the countryside, after building a house, there must be a road connected with the main road. It's convenient to get in and out, isn't it? But there are still some taboos, such as whether the passage in and out of the house is in front of or behind the house.

We build a house in our hometown, and the gate is usually near expressway. No matter whether you sit north facing south or west facing east, the road usually passes through the door, which is also convenient for you to travel. But some places are different. This road may pass behind your house, which is not good. That's what we say now: "I'd rather make trouble in front of the door than behind the house."

I'd rather make noise in front of the door. In other people's homes, at the gate, people come and go, which is normal. It means that your hometown is very prosperous. If the door is deserted, it means that there is no one in the village. Besides, the door is far from the bedroom of the house, even if the door is noisy, it will generally not affect your rest.

Don't want the footboard behind the house to ring. The biggest fear is that the road is built behind your house, which is better during the day, and it doesn't hurt if someone walks back and forth. I am afraid to fall asleep when I sleep at night, but someone passes by on the road behind the house, and sometimes motorcycles or cars pass by, which will seriously affect the quality of rest and sleep.

Livable environment has great influence on people's health. If you don't have a good rest, you can't do things in high spirits during the day. Therefore, the old saying in the countryside, "It is better to make trouble in front of the door than behind the house", has some truth. When building a house, we must pay attention to the fact that this road is a problem in front of and behind the house.

In fact, it is not difficult for you to say that the living environment in the countryside will be noisy, unlike the traffic in the city, which is noisy all day long. In many rural areas, in fact, fewer and fewer people live for a long time, and some villages have even become completely uninhabited villages. It's good that you are a little popular. Will it still be noisy?

Of course, this is the current situation. In the past, the countryside was still lively and popular, so we must consider the location and environment of the house.

The meaning of this sentence is to choose a location with strong popularity when building a house, even if it is a treasure field, there is a large flow of people in front of the door, and it doesn't matter if people come and go and make noise, which shows that this family has a good popularity and is more likely to bring good luck. In this rural environment, even if it is busy during the day, it will be quiet at night. It's normal to make noise during the day, just be quiet at night.

After watching many TV dramas, I always feel that normal people rarely walk behind. The back door is where some villains or thieves will go. So, think about it, if there are people walking around the back door of the house at night, it is likely that they are either thieves or people with malicious intentions. Nobody wants to live in their own house. There are often footsteps in the back door, so it's annoying to walk around.

"Chai Men smells dogs barking, and returns to people in the snowy night". In general, people enter the house through the door, which is called "entering the house".

Why do people "don't want the feet behind the house to ring"? Where have thieves stolen from other people's homes before? Make a hole in the back of the house, or climb into the house.

(stills of ancient thieves)

In the past, houses were built very short, and most people had grass roofs with earth walls, which made it easy to climb up and down and make holes in the walls.

"The Water Margin" "Fifty-sixth time, Wu Yong made Tang Long steal armor to earn Xu Ning to go up the mountain", sometimes there is a wonderful description of moving armor, which can also be said to be a common routine of ancient thieves.

Let's see how Shi Qian stole Xu Ning's armor. "When I moved ... I slipped down from the tree and walked to the back door of Xu Ning, and I came down from the wall without any effort."

For this sentence, many people say from the geographical location of the house that they would rather build the road in front of the door, so the door is full of traffic and people come and go, which looks very lively. I don't want to build a road behind the house, so there will be people walking around at night and I can't sleep, but the old farmer thinks this is not the original intention.

The old farmer didn't understand this sentence that way, but its meaning was completely different. The old farmer's understanding of "making trouble in front of the house, not behind the house" mainly means that farmers prefer to have a lot of people making trouble in front of their houses, which shows that these people are very serious about their work. After all, it is obvious at the gate that no one will do anything to steal chickens and dogs.

Therefore, farmers will feel very relieved about the noise in front of the door. Although noisy, it proves that there are no thieves. But if there is a pedal ringing behind the house, it will make the farmers uneasy, because the pedal ringing indicates that there is someone behind the house. Who walks around the house at night? Why not take the front door? I believe everyone knows that these people are up to no good.

What farmers are most afraid of when they sleep at night is the sound of feet behind the house. After all, thieves go around by the back door. If they find that the back door is not connected, they will come straight in. At this time, farmers are also afraid to hear such voices in their rooms. They don't talk but hear their own footsteps, which is not as reassuring as the noise in front of the door.

In fact, the original intention of this sentence is to describe that farmers are not afraid of someone talking in front of the door at night, because daring to speak at the door shows that it is aboveboard and will not do bad things. But the people who run around the house and don't talk are basically malicious people, and farmers are afraid to go out. At most, I call myself who I am in the room. After all, going out is still very dangerous.

In a word, there are many reasons for the old saying in the countryside. Sometimes I really don't know what it means without looking carefully. "It's better to make trouble in front of the door than behind the house" doesn't mean that I want to repair the road in front of the door rather than behind the house, but it has something to do with thieves. I don't know what you think of this sentence, let's talk about it.

When building a house in the countryside, we must pay special attention to the site selection. If there is something wrong with the location, you will feel uncomfortable and have a great impact on your health. For example, people often say that "there are trees in the courtyard, but mother and daughter don't meet each other", which tells people that there should not be too many trees in the courtyard when choosing a house. Talking too much will have a bad effect on the physical and mental health of family members. Of course, proverbs also have the characteristics of the times, that is, some proverbs may be applicable in some times, but they are not applicable in some times.

"I'd rather make trouble in front of the door than on the pedal behind the house." Here are two situations that people will encounter when building a house. Most people want to be in a relatively quiet place when building a house, because it can have a better rest state. When there is really no choice, they would rather choose a particularly noisy door than a particularly noisy house. Why do you say that? In ancient times, many thieves and criminals would choose to steal from some houses in the dark. An important way they choose is to enter the house through some low walls behind the wall. Some people think that this implies that some people speak ill of others in secret. The noise in front of the door is similar to the hustle and bustle, at least it can prove that this family is more popular and more popular.

Building a house is a very important thing for us. Be sure to do a good job in site selection. "I would rather make noise in front of the door than in the back of the house" seems to be a choice, but in fact it is more of a helplessness. If you plan it from the beginning, you don't have to worry about these problems at all. Do you think so?

Rural people have many unique views on building houses, which may be due to their love for yellow land and lifelong care for farmhouse bungalows. They always want to do their best in site selection, geomantic omen and structure, so they have summed up many experiences and proverbs. One of them is "I would rather quarrel in front of the house than in the back". I think this old saying is very reasonable.

"I'd rather make noise in front of the door" means "crowded" in present words. Many people like a quiet and peaceful living environment, which is of course good. Such a living environment will make people feel empty. However, it is undeniable that most people, especially the elderly, gradually like to be lively. This excitement stems from their close relationship with their families. They hope to see their children go home with them often. If their children can't go home often, it's good to have fun in front of the door. There is a funny phenomenon in the countryside, that is, there are always rows of uncles and aunts sitting under the wall in front of the door, sitting in the sun, chatting, chatting and lively in front of the door.

"I don't want my feet ringing at the back of the house", which means that although it is very lively, you can't choose the position directly facing the street behind the house when building a house. The excitement in front of the house can make people feel happy as soon as they go out, but the noise behind the house is not good. For rural bungalows, the bedroom is in the north, that is, behind the road, and there are many people walking, which especially affects sleep. If you don't sleep well, you will get sick easily. If you don't live in a long-term environment,

Therefore, the old people summed up the sentence "It is better to quarrel in front of the house than in the back", that is, to share their own experience in building a house, that is, to build a house, you can choose a location with a road in front of the house, which is more lively, but don't choose a location with a road behind the house, which is not conducive to rest and may be eavesdropped.
