Chapter 17 Mr. Zhuge Thatched House
Mr. Zhuge has a hobby of collecting leaves, and sorting out each leaf and name is also one of the things he likes to do in his spare time.
In the country of Zhuge China, a variety of flowers and trees and various fruits and vegetables are planted in the mountains and forests. Mr. Zhuge studied Shennong's herbal books very much, and even compiled a book of annotations to record plants.
He preserves the leaves in a special way, flattening them with stones and painting them in the color of the leaves. When Zhuge Liang was sixteen years old, he wanted to set up his own door, so he discussed with his family to give him a piece of land to build a house.
There must be seven kinds of trees, seven kinds of flowers, seven kinds of fruits, and seven kinds of vegetables planted on this land, and this Seven Star Array that he has been cultivating has something to do with it.
Some people say that gold, wood, water, fire and earth, there are still two things missing. Zhuge happens to have these two things in his hands, that is, Gang and Sha, which are the magic weapons that Zhuge has passed down from generation to generation.
Gang is like the wind, which is a mysterious force of change, and sha is qigong, which can make the original development of things change.
In order to find this treasure land, Zhuge Liang searched for a year in his hometown before finding it, and at that time he planned his own place to be within a radius of five kilometers.
Now it is a circle of 78 million square meters, and seeing the growth environment of those plants, Mr. Zhuge made a mark around this circle, and this time the mark was a plant with a unique smell - mint grass.
With such a piece of feng shui treasure, there is a new home. At first, some people in the family questioned whether it was too time-consuming and labor-intensive to build a house in such a large area.
And at that time, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang built by King Qin II did not have such a large area, Zhuge Liang said, in contrast, it is better to draw a circle to build a house to save effort, after all, no one will say how big a round house can be, but only think that round houses are rare.
Through the ancient method of drawing a circle, Zhuge Liang knew how large the center of the circle was. It is equivalent to a 780 square meters of place to do Zhuge thatched house, in order to save materials, the trees used in the thatched house are camphor trees and alpine straw and swamp straw.
After the construction was completed, Zhuge Liang designed a place for himself to surround the thatched hut to prevent people from entering the thatched hut and disturbing his life.
A kind of hedgehog's favorite plant was selected for planting, and a male and a female hedgehog were also raised in the haystack. Because hedgehogs are easily frightened, timid, and prefer a quiet environment, and hedgehogs are nocturnal animals, most of them like to be active at night and rest during the day.
Feed the hedgehog some of their meat, fruits and vegetables, the amount of feeding is not too much, feed 2 to 3 times a day, if you feed too much, it may affect the health of the hedgehog, the hedgehog drinks a lot of water, so you need to prepare enough water.
In summer, you need to pay attention to dissipating heat for the hedgehog to prevent the hedgehog from suffering from heat stroke, and the hedgehog will also hibernate in winter, so the hedgehog will begin to hibernate when the indoor temperature is lower than 7 degrees, so you need to keep the hedgehog warm when hibernating.
Hedgehog is an omnivorous animal, and the feed provided needs to be nutritionally balanced, not only to provide protein or even relatively high food, but also to add some vegetable trace elements and minerals, do a good job of environmental cleaning and disinfection, and prevent hedgehog disease infection.
With the presence of these little guys, Zhuge Mao's thatched house is full of vitality, and the flowers and plants are growing more luxuriantly.
In order to protect his residence, Zhuge Liang also dug a circular ditch and raised his favorite crucian carp fry in it, which is mainly used as a soup for entertaining guests during the New Year.
Only one person lives in such a place all the time, and it is easy to lose the direction in a round house. In order to adjust the feng shui in this, Mr. Zhuge chose to use the south, east, west, and northwest to distinguish the room, and four bronze mirrors were placed on the top beams and pillars in the middle.
Expand the visual enjoyment of the space and make the room look bigger. The four directions of southeast, east and northwest are engraved on the bronze mirror, the east room is the kitchen, the west room is the bathroom, the south room is the main bedroom plus study, and the north room is the necessary bedroom plus study.
The decoration of such a house is a house designed by two hundred generations of Mozi, and it has a black and white Tai Chi style.
It can suppress the evil spirit.
