A: the reason why the threshold of a Buddhist temple is high is that it contains profound significance.

In addition to that, try to avoid stepping on the threshold of the temple. It is taboo to step on the threshold of temples in folk customs. In addition, in geomantic omen, the threshold also has the effect of keeping the house safe.
Q：Why can't you step on the threshold of a temple?
A：According to Buddhism, the threshold in a temple is equivalent to the shoulder of the Buddha. Stepping on the threshold is equivalent to stepping on the shoulder of the Buddha, and the feet are filthy things. Stepping on the threshold with your feet is regarded as disrespect to the Buddha. In order to avoid pilgrims stepping on the threshold, the threshold in the temple is very high. Another point is that in ancient times, temples were mostly built at the expense of the royal family; Therefore, in the threshold design, it is also in accordance with the high threshold of the palace as a reference.
Q：What is the width and thickness of the threshold and the thickness of the doors and windows?
A：The width and thickness of the threshold of the temple is like this. The width is in accordance with the width of the door, and the thickness can be considered about 15 cm, and the height is 35-45 cm..。
Most of the traditional doors and windows are wood windows, which are easy to deform and paint off, so the thermal insulation performance is not very good. It is suggested that the traditional wooden window or the new antique broken bridge aluminum can be chosen. The new type of antique broken bridge aluminum vacuum Low-E glass window has very good waterproof, heat insulation and sound insulation effect, and its shape can be well combined with ancient buildings.
The thickness of traditional wooden windows ranges from 40mm to 80mm, and the width of broken bridge aluminum antique doors and windows is 96mm or 108mm.
