The threshold is the horizontal wood under the door, but the door of the modern house and the door in the house no longer have a threshold!

At the entrance of the gate of the traditional house of Huaxia, there must be a threshold, and people must cross the threshold when entering and exiting the gate, which plays a role in buffering the pace and blocking external forces. In ancient times, the threshold was knee-high, but today the threshold is not so high, only about an inch, and in addition to being made of wood, there are also narrow and long stone strips that are fixed to the ground between the iron gate and the gate.

The threshold also clearly separates the residence from the outside world, and at the same time, the threshold can not only block the wind and dust, but also keep all kinds of reptiles out, so it has great practical value, and has a certain effect on blocking external unfavorable factors and preventing the leakage of wealth, which is quite important for residential feng shui.

It should be noted that the color of the threshold should match the color of the door and because of the precautions, the threshold is broken, just like the beam in the house is broken. If the threshold is complete, the house is smooth, and if the short crack is sluggish, if the threshold is broken, it must be replaced as soon as possible. You don't need to install every door, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, you don't need it.

Many scholars nowadays take great pains to explain: "The original intention of the threshold was to keep the water out!"

Could it be that I am in China and have a long history, so much trouble and the threshold that is not conducive to travel is just to block the water?

There is an old saying that "sit on the threshold in the summer, and sleep on the bed in the summer". The annual activities of the Lixia Festival, many focus on avoiding "summer". On this day, children are not allowed to sit on the threshold, saying that it is to avoid "summer"; The custom in the western region of Liaoning is that on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, you have to sit on the threshold. Boiled eggs in the pot where the rice dumplings are boiled, sit on the threshold to eat when the sun is not out, peel off the egg skin with a placket, put the egg in the stomach, and then throw the egg skin outside the gate. This throw is said to be able to drive away the disease. The threshold is used to symbolize a kind of boundary, because the meaning of 'take and give' is particularly prominent when you are on this boundary!

After crossing the threshold, the male guest must step with the left foot first, and the female guest must step with the right foot first, don't step wrong, the male guest must step with the left foot to enter the Western Pure Land, and the right foot is to enter the eighteen layers of hell; Female guests, on the contrary, are not allowed to be sloppy; Also, don't step on the threshold, which will make people float in the yin and yang worlds, and they will neither become gods nor be reincarnated.

Suzhou people say: the woman who gives birth to a child is Shemu Niang. According to local fertility customs, women in confinement must abide by the taboo of not visiting other people's homes. It is said that if Shemu Niang steps on the threshold of others, she will wash the threshold for others in the next life.

Lu Xun's novel "Blessing" wrote the donation threshold. Xianglin's sister-in-law, who has married two husbands, someone jokingly asked her: "When you come to Yin Si in a hundred years, your two dead ghost men will earn you, who are you good for?"

At that time, Xianglin's sister-in-law was stammered when asked. However, the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and the person forgot what he said, but this Xianglin sister-in-law was entangled in her heart. After several twists and turns, I got the answer: since the two men were married by Ming Media, Hades had nothing to do, so he had to cut her apart and divide her in half when the time came.

Hearing this answer, Xianglin's sister-in-law stood on end, so she asked for a way to crack it: donate a threshold to the land temple and use it as her stand-in: thousands of people stepped on, ten thousand people crossed, and atoned for the crimes of this life, so as not to die and suffer.

Since Longfeng Xuan is located in the west of Yishou City, the dense fog weather in the west city is obviously worse than the dense fog weather in the city center and the other three urban districts. And the six mourning halls in the Baishi Hall in the West City have not only been rented out, but there are also twelve corpses in the front and back yards waiting to be used in the mourning hall!

Due to the large number of people dying of illness in Yishou City these days, the original three-day burial has been reduced to one day; So when the child arrived, the family of the undertaker went to sleep in another side room.

In the mourning hall on the left side of the back cover room of this white affairs hall, the eight disciples of the Yishou Hall who kept vigil were the same as the disciples of the other mourning halls, and they also set up two tables of mahjong early. There is a thick blanket on the mahjong table, so even if you fall hard, it won't make a loud noise, and these disciples of the Yishou Hall who keep vigil have an unwritten rule: when playing cards, whoever wants to make a sound or speak will pay three for one.

Therefore, although there were already two tables of mahjong in the mourning hall, there was hardly any sound, only the sound of the deceased's family members sleeping soundly in the next room.

"Boom...... Boom Boom ......"

When the time entered Yin, the eight disciples of the Yishou Hall who were on the night vigil were engrossed in playing cards when they suddenly heard a 'bang' sound from the morgue. Two tables of mahjong, eight disciples were all stunned, six disciples or holding cards, or holding dry tobacco, or drinking tea, the other two disciples, one is hesitating to play the card, one just touched the card, you can't help but look at me, I look at you......

The sound of 'boom' was still continuous, the sound was in the ears, everyone hesitated for a moment, the eldest of them happened to sit at a table near the morgue, and made a look at the disciple who was facing away from the door of the morgue, the disciple nodded to him, put down the dry smoke in his hand, stood up, pulled the chair behind him, and turned to walk towards the morgue.

In order to facilitate the transportation of the corpses back and forth, the disciples of Yishoutang removed all the door panels of the two side rooms, and only a cloth curtain was hung on them. The disciple walked over with a big grin, looking like an old boy. When he lifted the curtain and looked inside, he screamed in fright, turned his head and ran back.

"What's wrong? What's going on inside?" After the disciple shouted, their eldest stood up and pulled out the saber hanging from his waist, and the other six disciples were not slow, and they all pulled out the saber at their waist. Although they are here to be in charge of the vigil, as disciples of the Yishou Hall, they must not leave their swords no matter what the task is.

One by one, they held a single knife in their hands, and looked at the disciple who pointed behind him without looking back, and he didn't say why, but he would run forward with his head back, and pointed behind him with his right hand, until he stepped out of the gate before shouting: "Hurry, run, run......."

In fact, it only took a breath or two, and when the disciple just ran out, they heard it: the "boom" sound that had come from the original house actually ran out with the disciple. When the disciple stepped out of the door, they also saw the source of the "boom" sound.

Their eyes widened when they saw a person with his hands stretched out in front of him, jumping and jumping outwards to prop up the curtain, and when they saw the person who was not covered by the curtain and jumped out of the curtain, one by one they said, "Wow! yelling and running in all directions......

The person who walked forward with his hands stretched out and jumped forward was not a bystander, but a corpse parked in the inner room! It was a person who was already dead, but he was able to come out and walk alive, no wonder these disciples of the Yishou Hall lost their souls one by one, and fled in all directions in a panic.

This 'deceitful corpse' didn't seem to have any consciousness, and instead of jumping after the Yishoutang disciple who came out because of himself, he jumped after one of the seven Yishoutang disciples who stayed in the mourning hall.

But before it could jump a few times, it turned to another disciple; But before it could jump twice, it turned to another disciple, and it was precisely because it jumped and chased this for a while, and jumped after that for a while, that it didn't catch up with anyone.

And this also gave these disciples of the Yishou Hall a chance to escape, and their boss also found something from this 'corpse fraud' behavior. Why is it called 'deception'? Because it is not due to its own reasons, but because of external reasons, it is called "deception"!

After a person dies, sometimes there is still a breath left in the chest, if a cat, dog, rat and some hairy animals pass by, and static electricity is generated, and this static electricity is strong enough, it will stir up the body of the deceased, and it will jump away when it sees the wind; And the hands stretched straight forward are like pointers, pointing in the direction that attracted them.

But this breath can't support a life, it will only bite like a resurrected corpse beast, until that breath is exhausted, or spit out, the corpse will automatically fall to the ground, and then it will be considered really completely dead.

Fraud is different from resurrection, 'fraud' is a kind of chaos, it is abnormal; Therefore, it is different from borrowing corpses to resurrect souls, and it is even more different from the walking corpses, jumping corpses, jumping zombies or something in the zombie level.

After a brief panic, their boss was keenly aware of the problem of the corpse. So, he shouted loudly: "Liuzi, don't run around! Just your speed! Don't stop! Hurry up and keep spinning around the mahjong table! Be sure to keep this speed, don't run too fast! Don't run too slow! Okay! Okay! That's it! That's it! Just come like this! Don't panic!"

The disciples of the Yishou Hall of the Mourning Hall were all blinded, and they were flustered around the mahjong tables, chairs, and mourning halls; Because only in this way, when the corpse is about to catch up with him, those tables, chairs, and mourning halls will block the pursuit of the corpse. And when their boss found out about the problem and shouted, the deceitful corpse was jumping after the Yishou Tang disciple named Liuzi.

At a loss, he immediately followed his instructions, and then their eldest shouted again: "Except for the sixth son, everyone stands still!"

I have to say that the gang rules of Yishoutang are very strict, and in such a panicked situation, the boss's shouting order immediately stopped all the chaotic disciples. Then he shouted again: "Scar, dog, you two go out as fast as you can, and you can't bring a little wind!"

"Got it, big brother!"

So, the two of them tiptoed and slowly moved towards the gate, except for the six sons who were running around the mahjong table at a constant speed, everyone held their breath and stared nervously at Scar, the dog, and the corpse.

As their boss expected, the deceitful corpse did not chase Scar and Liuzi who escaped out of the door, but kept jumping and chasing behind Liuzi with straight hands at the speed of Liuzi.

Just as the remaining Yishou Hall disciples looked at their boss with hot eyes, they saw their boss, turned their head to look at the lounge, and shouted there, "Are all the people inside awake?"
