Chapter 49: The Ancestral Hall
Tang Chen opened the suitcase, took out clothes and towels, took a hot shower first, dried his hair, and prepared to sleep.
The layout of this bedroom is not unusual, but it is very in line with Feng Shui.
In fact, feng shui is not so mysterious, to put it bluntly, it is just that the home design is arranged to make people feel comfortable.
This bedroom is only fifteen square meters, which is exactly in line with the principles of Feng Shui. For example, everyone knows that the old palace and palace in the capital were the places where the emperor lived in ancient times, and those who have traveled to the Forbidden City will find that the emperor's bedroom is a relatively deep and long structural form. The window is only open on one side, and it is relatively dim. The bed was made on three sides against the wall, not the way we now set it up on three sides.
If you have seen the Yangxinzhai of the old palace, the study of Emperor Yongzheng and the bedroom behind the study, the place where the emperor lives is not much larger than that of the common people, and it is only more than ten square meters. The so-called dragon bed is not bigger than the people, and when sleeping, two curtains have to be placed in front of the bed, so the space becomes even more cramped, probably less than ten square meters. This is the so-called "Tibetan Wind Gathering".
In fact, feng shui is also a scientific form of home, but the ancient Chinese feng shui has always lacked the support and demonstration of scientific theories.
Scientifically it is believed that when a person is resting, the pores on the skin will open up due to the fact that many functions of the body stop working and the mind is relaxed. From this point of view, the energy of the human body is most likely to be lost at this time. At the same time, the ability to resist external interference will also be greatly reduced. Therefore, we must create a resting environment that is conducive to our physiological structure, so as to ensure that we can not only conserve energy, but also replenish energy during sleep.
The reason why Feng Shui emphasizes that the bedroom should not be too big is also the principle. If the bedroom is larger, the faster the energy will be lost. When people sleep in this kind of bedroom for a long time, not only is it difficult to replenish their spirits, but they will feel low in energy and lie in bed.
In the same way, if the bedroom has a balcony, it must have floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and if it has a low bay window, the window area takes up two-thirds of the wall. As a result, the bedrooms are largely open. As we all know, glass cannot block light, and of course, it is impossible to block the light energy emitted by the human body. Therefore, the bedroom window is too large, and there is no benefit to the preservation of human energy.
Of course, the bedroom should not be too shallow and narrow, as if a cup and a measuring cylinder are placed in the sun, assuming that the water in the two vessels is equal, and the cup has a large mouth, the evaporation must be greater than that of the graduated cylinder.
In the same way, the shape and depth of a house will also directly affect the thickness of the aura in the house, as well as the problem of air dispersion and accumulation. A deep house, like a cylindrical cup, has a relatively stable airflow due to its small window (equivalent to the evaporation surface of a graduated cylinder). On the contrary, the bedroom is too shallow and narrow, and the windows are relatively large, even floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Such a bedroom is bound to be thin, and the "evaporation surface" is too large, which will of course cause energy to be easily lost, which is the so-called air dispersion and non-gathering.
A house that is not dispersed will cause people's emotional impulses, so it is easy to offend people if they are not careful in their words and actions. As the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth, and there are naturally more tongues of right and wrong. In addition, if you make a mistake in investing and shopping because of emotional impulses, the loss of money becomes an inevitable result. Therefore, feng shui masters often say that the house must hide the wind and gather qi, and this is the reason.
From this point of view, Feng Shui is not so mysterious, it is just a kind of home design.
Anyway, Tang Chen was in the bedroom and slept soundly. At about seven o'clock the next day, I woke up naturally, energetic and energetic.
"Master Tang, are you up so early?"
As soon as Tang Chen walked into the courtyard, he saw Wang Dongxu playing Tai Chi slowly.
In the yard, there are a lot of trees, most of which Tang Chen can't name, and there are many potted plants, which should be planted with flowers. But this season, the flowers have long been gone.
Tang Chen greedily breathed in the fresh air, and he was in a good mood: "Master Wang, you also got up early!"
"Alas, my son and wife have moved to live in ZC District, I asked them to come back to live, they are too far away, if they are willing to come back, where will that company lose money?" Wang Dongxu said of his son, and he was also helpless.
Other people's family affairs, Tang Chen was not easy to speak, and quickly changed the topic and said: "I can't imagine that Master Wang is still a Tai Chi master......
"What kind of master? Just practice blindly, this is a simple style of Taijiquan, where can I not learn? People are old, they don't like to run, so they have to play Taijiquan. Wang Dongxu said with a smile and stopped. "Master Tang, breakfast should be ready, have breakfast first and then go to Qingkeng Village. I made an appointment with the rich Malay man to meet there at 10 o'clock in the morning, so there was plenty of time and there was no need to rush. ”
Tang Chen nodded and said, "I'll listen to Master Wang's arrangement!"
After the two had breakfast, they rested for half an hour, Wang Dongxu drove the car out of the garage, drove Tang Chen, and came all the way to the SS District of Nanhai City.
Wang Dongxu introduced: "Master Tang, don't underestimate these farmers, their income is much higher than that of white-collar workers in the city!
Tang Chen nodded in understanding. Out-of-season vegetables are the most profitable. It's a pity that most of the land now has been expropriated for real estate, and even the peasants have no land and are forced to move into the city, let alone the people in the city.
Wang Dongxu was well-informed, and introduced the customs of Nanhai City along the way, so that Tang Chen did not feel that the more than one-hour drive was boring.
After more than an hour, the car slowly drove into a village road, and Tang Chen knew that it was not far from its destination.
"Hey, what's that?"
Accustomed to seeing reinforced concrete buildings, Tang Chen rarely saw ancient and simple buildings. And this temple-like house, not far from the entrance of the village, made Tang Chen feel very novel.
"Oh, that's the Zhang clan ancestral hall, and it's also the ancestral hall of this village. ”
Tang Chen smiled: "I thought it was a temple like the Land Temple and the City God Temple......
Wang Dongxu also smiled: "I came here before, and I thought it was the Land Temple. But the land temple in this village is in the middle of the village, not at the entrance of the village. ”
"Zhang's ancestral hall, is it possible that this village is surnamed Zhang?"
"No, in the past few years, they may have all been surnamed Zhang, but over the years, Master Tang, you also know that there are so many foreign populations, which must have diluted the local population......"
Wang Dongxu's words, Tang Chen was not surprised, China has been a clan society for thousands of years, and it is not uncommon for everyone in a village to have the same surname. Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this situation continued to spread across the vast countryside. It was not until after the reform and opening up that the flow of people increased, and the situation changed.
