13. Doors and windows
The feng shui of a house is greatly affected by the gate. Because the door is the air outlet of the house, the throat that connects the private space with the world, it is as important as the human body receives food.
The moment everyone enters and exits their home gate every day, they will be affected by the feng shui of the gate. If the direction of the gate is correct, there will be purple qi coming from the east all year round; If the door is not opened well, everything will not go well, and at worst, it will cause trouble.
So Yang House
"Three wants": the door, the main (master room), the stove, the door as the first element. Feng Shui has
"One door is set in Jichang" and
"The door is right, the family is successful", it can be seen that the gate is very particular about feng shui. There are three options for opening the door of a general residence: one is to open the middle door, also known as the Suzaku Gate.
If there is a spacious greenery, square, pond, parking lot, etc., in front of the house, it is a bright hall.
In this way, when the external qi gathers in the front, it is received by the middle door, and the door is suitable to be opened in the middle of the front of the house. The second is to open the left door, also known as the green dragon gate.
If there is no hall in front of the house, it is better to open the left door. Because the left side is the green dragon position, and the green dragon is auspicious.
In addition, Feng Shui uses the road as water, if the right side of the road in front of the house is high and the left side is low, the earth qi flows to the left in the right direction; Or there is a street and a corridor in front of the gate, the right road is long for the water, and the left road is short for the water, and the above two situations should open the left door to intercept the ground gas, which is called
"Qinglongmen gas collection". The third is to open the right door, also known as the White Tiger Gate. Feng Shui is generally unlucky to open the right door (White Tiger Gate).
But if there is a street or corridor in front of the gate, the ground on the left is high and the ground on the right is low, and the earth qi flows from the left to the right; Or the left road is long for the water, and the right road is short for the water, and the two situations should open the right door to intercept the earth's gas, which is called
"White Tiger Gate Gas". 1. Open the door to see the red, also called the open door to see the joy. As soon as you open the door, you will see the red walls or decorations, and you will feel happy when you enter the house, giving people a sense of upliftment, comfort and warmth.
2. Get straight to the point. That is, as soon as you enter the door, you will see green plants, which are full of vitality and can have the effect of pleasing the eyes and eyes.
3. Get straight to the point. If you open the door, you will see a delicate and auspicious calligraphy and painting, which can not only reflect the self-cultivation of the residents, but also boost the home complexion and create a rich and auspicious artistic atmosphere.
Second, the gate is not suitable
"Three Sees" 1. Get straight to the point. Traditional Feng Shui believes that the door and the kitchen door are opposite, and there is
"Straight to the point, money is wasted". When you see the stove at the entrance, the fire is so angry that you can't get in.
Solution: You can place screens, plants or bamboo curtains in front of the kitchen door. 2. Open the door to the toilet.
As soon as you enter the gate, you will see the toilet, and it will be like a filthy smell. At the same time, it is not good to set up the bathroom at the end of the corridor, the bathroom is yin, and setting it at the end of the corridor is equivalent to setting it in a dead end, and the filth cannot be discharged.
This negative breath in the house is equivalent to consuming the vitality of the house, which is not good for the owner's fortune and health.
3. Get straight to the point. The mirror will reflect the wealth, not only the middle hall should not be hung with mirrors, and if it is not the appearance of the door, the door is best not to be inlaid with mirrors.
The god of the town house in ancient China is a pair of mighty and powerful portraits posted outside the gate - the door god.
The ancients believed that with such a pair of powerful door gods guarding the door, what demons and monsters would not dare to enter the house, so in the past, every household was posted with a door god.
The door gods are attached to the left and right sides of the gate, and the left side is called
"Mencheng", the one on the right is called
"Captain". The statue of the door god before the Tang Dynasty
"Shentu" and
"Yu Lei", there is a record in the Warring States Policy: painting the gods, Yu Lei's head, and placing the door at the right age. This shows that at that time, whenever the New Year was celebrated, the portraits of the heads of the gods and Yu Lei were painted and posted outside the gate to ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and
The "Fengshen List" all records two people, Shen Tu and Yu Lei. Legend has it that there is a Dushuo Mountain on the East China Sea, and there is a ghost gate on the northeast side of the mountain, which is a passage for ghosts to enter and exit, and the two people of Shen Tu and Yu Lei are guarding there, and when they see fierce gods and evil ghosts, they will be arrested as tigers.
Because of these legends, their faces are painted among the people and posted on the gate to ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts.
Later, in the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong was entangled by unjust souls in the palace, and he was not at peace every night, and later relied on Qin Shubao and Wei Chijing to guard the palace gate night and night, so that the unjust souls did not dare to approach, so that Tang Taizong could be at peace.
However, if Qin Shubao and Wei Chijing were allowed to stand guard at night like this for a long time, it would not be a way after all.
Tang Taizong asked the painter to draw the mighty appearance of Qin Shubao and Wei Chijing, and posted it on the gate, and it worked!
Later, the people followed suit, and it has been passed down to this day. The traditional Chinese door is opened on the left and right sides, so it is very natural to separate the door god and post one on each side, no matter what demons and monsters enter the door, they are sandwiched by the door god left and right, and cannot enter.
However, in modern apartment-style houses, most of the doors are open on one side, and the posting of the door god has become a big problem, if the door god is posted on the door together, as soon as the door is opened, the demons and monsters will enter from the direction of the door god on the other side, so in the modern big city, the custom of posting the door god is gradually rare, and many of them are just to increase the festive atmosphere, and they have long lost their original meaning.
The threshold threshold originally refers to the horizontal wood under the door, and there must be a threshold at the entrance of the gate of the traditional Chinese house, and people must cross the threshold when entering and exiting the gate, which plays the role of 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.
Like doors, windows absorb sunlight and air into the interior, and are also a conduit for private life to communicate with the outside world.
In his "Aphorisms of Love", the ancient Indian raft said: The room should be able to please people's eyesight. The house also reflects the contradictory unity of the occupants, who want to maintain a moderate distance from the outside world, gain independence and security, and want to connect with the outside world to achieve a harmonious unity, so they need a link to nature and to the people of society, and the window is this unique link.
There are many forms of ancient windows, most of which are natural, such as plum windows, sash windows, size windows, etc., while modern flat windows, bay windows, oblique windows, etc., although the materials and materials have changed substantially, but the intention is the same, all in order to better dialogue with nature.
The window contains a thousand autumn snow in Xiling, and the door is berthed in the Dongwu Wanli ship. (Du Fu's "Quatrain") is the best interpretation of the function of the window.
Xuan window diameter ruler, will be in the square inch, there is a snow scene in the landscape, living in it, you can see a beautiful natural painting from the window, the field of vision is comfortable, a thousand years of snow scenery line, pleasing to the eye; And the boat moored at the gate shows that it is closely related to the outside world, which can be both movable and quiet.
The window is in the back of the mountain, the door is in front of the river, the negative yin and the yang, it is very imposing, it can be self-contained and unified, and it can be hiking to integrate into the society, so the residence is indeed a good structure.
The window is the eye of the house, broadens the field of vision, communicates inside and outside, leads the sun, moon and stars, morning and sunset, the light, aura and vitality of the mountain light and water color are endowed with the house and the people inside, so in the home, the window occupies a very important role, its type, shape, and orientation have a strong impact on the feng shui of the house.
The number of windows is easy to enter and exit through the windows, but if there are too many windows, it will make it difficult to calm the internal air, and home life is easy to be tense and difficult to relax.
If there are too few windows, the internal qi is depressed and unable to spit out the old and accept the new, which will easily lead to the internal organs of the residents.
The orientation and shape of the windowThe shape and orientation of the window are related to the five elements, and when used properly, it will help to strengthen the energy absorption and vitality of the home.
The modern five elements are as follows: gold - round wood shape, long water shape, curved fire shape, pointed shape, earth shape, square shape.
The long-standing window is a wooden window, and its most suitable orientation is the east, south and southeast of the house, which can make the façade of the house produce a sense of upward speed, and will also produce a progressive and vigorous atmosphere of the home.
Square and rectangular windows are earthen windows, and their best location is the south, southwest, west, northwest or northeast of the house, which can make the façade of the house produce a more stable and stable feeling, and will also produce a stable and down-to-earth atmosphere in the home.
Round or arched windows are gold-shaped windows and are most suitable for the southwest, west, northwest, north and northeast of the dwelling.
It can create a cohesive attraction on the façade of the home and create a cohesive atmosphere in the home.
Round or arched windows give a sense of serenity and serenity, suitable for bedrooms, contemplations and living rooms; Square, long windows give an uplifting and affirming feel, suitable for dining rooms and study rooms.
In general, if the two window shapes can be mixed moderately, good results can be obtained. Pointed or triangular windows are fire windows, which are relatively rare in residential buildings, because they are too sharp and too lethal to be disadvantageous, and water-shaped windows are not very suitable for domestic use.
The two sides of the window can not be facing between the two sides of the wall at the same time is also very unfavorable for the home, because it will cause it difficult to hide the wind and gather gas, and its disadvantages are the same?
The front is the same as the back. The size of the windows should be moderate, the windows in the living room or bedroom are too large or too numerous, which can easily lead to internal gas leakage and family discord, if this happens, you can hang blinds or curtains to make up for this defect, but blinds are easier to absorb external air than curtains, so the effect is better than curtains.
Large floor-to-ceiling windows in the home should be equipped with curtains that will cause too much sunlight or heat to enter the room in summer and quickly lose heat in winter.
Windows should not be too large, but they should not be too small. Windows that are too small or not open on all sides will appear stingy and dark, and the occupants will become cramped and withdrawn.
The height of the windowThe top height of the window must exceed the height of the occupant, which not only increases the confidence and bearing of the occupants, but also does not have to bend over and arch their backs when looking out of the window.
The color of the window framesThe windows are painted in different colors to bring the exterior scenery into the windows, creating a natural landscape that brings vitality and creativity to the occupants.
However, it is best to pay attention to the color selection, if you can choose a color that matches the direction, it will be beneficial to the house luck.
Now the eight window sills in different directions are listed in a brief table as follows: windows facing due east: yellow, brown windows facing southeast: black, brown windows facing south: suitable--white, silver windows facing southwest: blue, black windows facing west: green, cyan windows facing northwest: windows suiting green, cyan windows facing north: red, pink windows facing northeast: windows opening blue, black windowsWhat are the forms of windows in your bedroom, living room, and kitchen?
Are they open upwards, sideways, or sealed? As far as Feng Shui is concerned, it is best to open the window outwards or to the sides, so as not to disturb the area in front and behind the window.
Inward-facing windows can make occupants timid and withdrawn, and inward-opening windows are often blocked by curtains or blinds, making them difficult to open.
If the windows of your home are open inward, you can place a bonsai or stereo under the window to activate the energy in the area.
If the windows of the house can only be pushed up halfway and cannot be fully opened, it will make it difficult for the occupants to have ambitions and work unsmoothly.
If this is the case, you can paint the window sill with bright colors, hang blinds to shade the sun, it is best not to hang cloth curtains, and put bonsai and crystal by the window to activate the aura.
Looking at the world, are your windows big or small? Is it wide or narrow? Is it high or low? A window with a beautiful view is like a famous painting, so the window frame may be painted in a different color from the wall to bring vitality and creativity to the occupants.
Whether it's to keep your home private, to keep out the sun and dust, or to beautify your windows, curtains are indispensable.
Curtains are divided by materials, including cloth curtains, gauze curtains, bamboo curtains, plastic curtains, aluminum curtains and wooden curtains.
In addition, it can be divided into curtains that are opened left and right, curtains that are rolled up and down, and wooden shutters that are fixed.
If it is divided by color, it is even more colorful and dazzling. As a matter of principle, the choice is to use sun-drenched windows, preferably with thicker and darker curtains; For windows with insufficient sunlight, it is advisable to use curtains with thinner texture and lighter colour.
If the windows are facing a hospital or sharp corners of the house, etc., and they are very close to each other, then wooden blinds should be installed in the windows to prevent the entry of evil gas, and it is advisable to open them as little as possible.
The correct application of the type of curtain will help the metabolism of gas in the house. When the sun is shining during the day, opening the curtains allows beneficial external air to enter, filling the room with warmth; At night, lowering the curtains is conducive to providing the sleeper with the perfect curtain of dreams.
In larger rooms, cloth curtains are preferred; Floor-to-ceiling curtains create a tranquil and warm atmosphere.
However, in small rooms, small windows tend to reduce the exposure of the room to sunlight, so it is better to choose blinds that allow a lot of light to pass through.
Cloth curtains help sleep and block out the undesirable effects of the outside world. If you sit with your back to the window or sleep with your head facing the window, it will be nerve-wracking, difficult to relax, and it is also very bad in feng shui, but if you hang thick curtains on the window, you can reduce the adverse effects.
