The ancients said: What are the three jewels on the windowsill, wealth and wealth, but what are those three jewels?

Folk sayings are not only sentences that inherit the wisdom of ancestors, but also sentences drawn from the foundation of modern civilization. The culture of common sayings, which makes our traditional culture extremely colorful, has cultural heritage and historical background of life.

For example, the sentence “Three treasures on the windowsill, rich and precious, but full” is a folk proverb born from the combination of modern civilization and traditional folk customs!

So, what does this sentence mean?

During the thousands of years of development, ancestors have drawn up many brilliant cultures, and good culture is one of them. And this saying is actually rooted in auspicious culture.

The so-called auspicious omens include many things, such as blessings in people’s lives, acts of wishing for good things in people’s lives, etc., all of which are the content of auspicious culture. !

The meaning of that saying is that when “the window sill puts the three things, both rich and prosperous” is the wisdom that comes from the influence of the good culture of the ancestors and the folk experience left behind.

That is to say, on the windowsill place three types of items that can signal wealth and good fortune in the house, see you soon!

So, what are the “three things” in this proverb referring to?

First of all, it is the golden elemental treasure

We all know that since ancient times, gold and silver have been used by people as precious metals as currency. And Jinyuan Bao is an ancient gold ingot, and Yin Yuanbao is an ancient silver ingot. Gold and silver with the shape of Yuanbao appeared in the Tang Dynasty, after the Yuan Dynasty, the name Yuanbao gradually came to be used to refer to gold and silver coins.

According to feng shui, the Yuan Bao is an ancient currency, due to its high value, it is always considered a symbol of wealth.

Today, although we no longer use the treasure as currency, its value is undeniable.

So, even if the original as a monetary function, has left the historical period, but the symbolic meaning of wealth continues to this day.

Placing the treasure on the windowsill is also a custom where people pray for wealth to enter the door.

Second, it’s the lion!

Lions have extremely important cultural connotations and deep meanings in traditional culture!

The lion is not our special product, but in the Han Dynasty, the Western Region countries paid tribute to the Han emperor. Inherently, lions have no place in our traditional culture, for example the four spirits and the twelve zodiac signs in our ancient times did not have lions.

But with the advent of Buddhism, the lion, as the mount of the Bodhisattva, began to be accepted and worshiped by people. Along with the majestic and rare characteristics of the lion, the lion gradually carries the cultural meaning of warding off evil spirits and attracting wealth.

Up to now, many places large door, will also put two stone lions, for decoration. Therefore, people often put two small lions on the windowsills of private houses to pray for peace and wealth!

Third, there are some plants

According to feng shui, plants represent vitality.

In traditional folklore, different plants carry different cultural connotations and connotations. So, placing plants on the windowsill can not only improve the home environment, but also improve the mood of the people at home.

In particular, outside the window there are some things that detract from the landscape, such as starting construction, or facing sharp objects, etc., can put some plants on the window sill.

Thus, not only does not affect the ventilation and light, but also can play a role in beautifying the home environment and improving the fortune in the house.

Of course, not all plants can be placed on the windowsill, we should try to choose evergreen trees, plants with beautiful meanings, etc.

Whether it is in the past or today, people attach great importance to the blessings and misfortunes of life. Everyone wishes for good luck and avoids evil, so for a better life, our ancestors attached certain items with human bad luck and fortune.

While such a saying is far-fetched, it may actually reflect the ancestors’ view of life in ancient times, as well as their views of nature and the world! We can even see the spiritual gaze of the ancestors and see the spiritual face of the ancestors who believed in fate but did not accept it!
