Feng Shui Collection: 500 Feng Shui Common Senses You Should Know

Chapter 2 Terrain Environment (1)
1. Why should the ground be higher than the road and not lower than the road?

Only the height of the mountain can set off the vision; only the broadness of the forest can match the mind.The high terrain of the house is one of the most important Feng Shui knowledge since ancient times, and it is also one of the necessary conditions for choosing a good Feng Shui.Nowadays, there are mostly high-rise buildings in the city, and the road surface that is too low usually does not affect the feng shui of the high-rise buildings. However, if there is strong sound source and light source pollution, this invisible evil spirit will still have a bad influence on the high-rise residences.The main disadvantage of the ground being too low is that it is easy to form water accumulation and affect the circulation of air, but it should be a different matter if you open a shop.

2. The terrain should be flat and not steep

The ancient art of geomancy attached great importance to whether the topography of the central area was flat or not.Not only is the surrounding environment required to store wind and gather energy, but the central area must also have a plain terrain, so that it can be considered a good Fengshui pattern.If the terrain is high but uneven, it is not good Feng Shui. The steep terrain symbolizes danger, which is not conducive to personal safety and career development.If it is applied to a modern home layout, the ground in the central area of ​​the house should be flat.Many households ingeniously build floors in the living room, artificially causing undulations on the ground; paving gravel in the entrance of the house to enhance the taste, but because of the uneven ground, it will cause trouble for oneself to enter and exit.

3. The house should be above the slope, not below it
If the terrain is high, there will be a slope, and the house should be on the slope.Slopes are naturally divided into ups and downs, and the terrain above the slope is naturally higher than the terrain below the slope.The top of the slope symbolizes the high end, which is always upward; and the bottom of the slope symbolizes the end, which is close to the end.Therefore, even if it is in a low-lying place, it is necessary to choose a position above the slope, at least in this direction, you can have a clear view.

4. Why should the terrain of the house be sunny but not shaded?
Terrain can be divided into yin and yang.The south of the mountain and the north of the water are called Yang; the north of the mountain and the south of the water are called Yin.The ancients mostly lived by mountains and rivers at first, and many cities were built by water and mountains.For example, there are many place names of Daiyang in Henan Province with a long history, and it can still be seen that the cities built on the waterside include: Luoyang, Puyang, Huaiyang, Biyang, Qinyang, Ruyang and so on.As far as the general situation of the terrain is concerned, the sunny place is the outside, and the shady place is the inside.Houses should generally be on the sunny side, not the shady side, because the sunny side is dry, while the shady side is generally very humid, which is not conducive to living and health.

5. Why houses should not be built in valley basins
Valley basins are low-lying and prone to dirt. In modern society, valley basins are more likely to be polluted.Valleys are vulnerable to atmospheric pollution due to valley winds and temperature differences.During the day, the hillside is warmed by sunlight, and the temperature is higher than that of the valley, forming an inversion, and the valley wind blows upwards; at night, the hillside dissipates heat quickly, and the temperature drops to be lower than the valley, and the cold air descends, forming a mountain wind blowing from the hillside to the valley. The valley blows.This is like the ebb and flow of tides. There is an interval in the middle. During the interval between mountain wind and valley wind, it is most unfavorable for the diffusion of pollutants. A large number of pollutants stay in the valley, causing air pollution.Therefore, it is not advisable to build a house in a valley, but on a hillside, preferably a sunny hillside.

Don't build the house into a "basin" pattern.If the entire building foundation of a residential area is lower than the surrounding terrain, making people feel like living in a basin, this terrain is not conducive to ventilation, lighting, and drainage, and it feels uncomfortable to go home every day.Besides, from the perspective of feng shui, some dense turbid air often accumulates in the basin area, which will obviously damage the health of the occupants, so you must pay attention when buying a house.

6. The house should be on the slope, not deep into the hillside
Building houses on hillsides is currently the most popular trend, but it is inevitable that some people will have the illusion of "straight to the point".According to Feng Shui, if the distance between the house and the mountain is too close, it is a big disaster.Because there are mountains within hundreds of meters in front of the gate, people's aura will be blocked, and they will feel oppressed psychologically, which is not good for family luck and greatly hinders career development.Therefore, it is not good for the house to go deep into the hillside and be too close to the mountain. It should be built on the plane of the hillside, and it is better to have a certain distance from the mountain.

The slopes are dangerous.If the gate of the house is facing a very sloping hillside, it should not be selected as a residence.Traditionally, it is believed that this kind of house will not only leak family wealth, but also separate family members and never return.If the house is located at the bottom of the hillside rushing down, the evil spirit will often cause casualties due to the rush and rush.

From the point of view of Feng Shui, houses on flat terrain are more stable and reliable.Even if there is a slope, it should not be too steep, let alone go deep into the hillside.Therefore, when purchasing a building, you should pay special attention to observe the surrounding environment.

7. Why should the house not stand out from the crowd?

Many of the current residences are high-rise buildings. It is okay if there are tall buildings or small high-rise buildings around, but if only the first floor is alone in a row or a block of buildings, it will have the feeling of "stand out from the crowd".In fact, the feng shui of this kind of high-rise residence is not good. In feng shui, it is called "solitary peak and unique beauty". The surrounding evil spirits will bear the brunt of this high-rise building.

Also, don't build your home into a "hilltop" layout.People often say "half-mountain mansion" refers to a mansion built on the hillside, and cannot be built too high. This kind of mansion is often only affordable by the rich.But it is not good if the house is built on the top of the mountain. The so-called "the heights are too cold".Generally speaking, only temples were built on top of mountains in ancient times.Moreover, the top of the mountain is too close to the sky, the wind, water, and air flow too fast, there is no atmosphere of the earth, the population is sparse, and the surroundings are empty. Living in it feels lonely, so it is not suitable for people to live.

8. Why should the environment outside the house be sunny
In the modern view of Feng Shui, a house with sufficient sunlight and flowing air is the best Feng Shui, so the surrounding environment of the house and its own lighting conditions are extremely important.

First of all, we need to distinguish between "lighting" and "sunshine".Daylighting means that a room can get natural light as long as the windows are opened to the outside; sunshine means that the room gets sunlight from the window.The quality of sunlight is measured by the hours and angles of sunlight, and windows that open outward may not necessarily receive sunlight.

In order to get more sunlight, it is necessary to choose a house with a large distance between buildings and a high floor.Because the larger the distance between the buildings and the higher the floors, the more sunshine hours they get, and the more abundant the sunshine. However, the buildings closely adjacent to each other, especially the first and second floors, are always dark and gloomy.Therefore, there is a saying among house buyers that "buy high but not low, buy east and not west", which means choosing a high-floor house between high-floor and low-floor houses, and choosing east-facing houses between east-facing and west-facing houses. .

Generally speaking, any house facing the south has good lighting and sunlight. However, because some house types have a "step" shape on the side, the sunlight is blocked by the adjacent wall. Sometimes you will find that the sunlight shines on the outer side wall, although it is very bright. But it can't shine in the room.In some buildings, in order to increase the lighting surface, the windows or balconies of some room types are made very deep and recessed into the wall, which will directly affect the lighting and sunlight.

From a scientific point of view, sunlight contains ultraviolet rays, which have the function of sterilization.If there is a lack of sunlight, people's body resistance will be weak, especially the elderly and children, so that germs will have the opportunity to enter.Sufficient lighting and sunshine have a good effect on the physiological condition of the human body, make the visual function and nervous system in a comfortable state, and improve the efficiency of work and rest.Therefore, it is best to choose some buildings with more doors and windows when purchasing a house, so that the yang energy will be more abundant.On the contrary, if there are more yin and less yang, and the yin qi is too strong, it will affect people's health, and it is not suitable for buying and living.

9. Why can't there be reflections around the house

Feng Shui especially emphasizes that reflection is a big evil. In the past, reflections were mostly caused by ponds and rivers around houses.The river water reflects light into the room, producing unstable and shaking light and shadow, which makes people unconsciously tense. After a long time, people often have the illusion of being in a trance.

Many buildings in cities now use glass curtain walls, which reflect light from neighboring buildings.If there are such reflections around the house, the good aura will be destroyed, and the people living in it will easily feel irritable, impulsive and restless.

Therefore, while meeting the lighting requirements, there should be no reflective things around the house.

10. The terrain road should be simple and smooth

The roads around the house are what you often pass by, so the choice of roads is very important.The most basic point is that the road should be simple and smooth without complicated bends.

The sidewalk in front of the house should be wide and flat, and an appropriate buffer distance should be kept from the road, which can increase the safety factor of pedestrians.If the alleys and hutongs in front of the houses are too narrow and oppressive, they are not suitable for living.If the house is close to the road, and there are too many vehicles or the speed of the vehicle is too fast, not only is it unsafe, but it is also difficult for pedestrians to gather popularity when passing by in a hurry.In addition, the narrow road in front of the door is called cutting feet water, which means that you will lose money and not gather money.

The road in front of the house should not be curved and inclined, such as "anti-bow road". The anti-bow means that the road is curved, like a bow and arrow shooting towards your house.If the door of the house is on this road, people who pass by will feel that the balance is not good, and the house will naturally be difficult to gather popularity.

11. The location of the residence should be rich, not barren, deserted, or messy

The surrounding environment of the house is very important. The surrounding environment does not only refer to greenery, rivers and mountains, but also includes the surrounding facilities, units and the functions of this area.

Generally speaking, the location of the residence should be rich, not barren, deserted, or messy.The surrounding environment should be relatively clean and quiet. It is best that there is no exhaust gas, waste water, and waste residue nearby, and there is no noise interference or high-voltage lines passing by.

For example, the noise in industrial areas is relatively large, and the noise has a greater impact on people's sleep. After a long time, it will affect appetite and health.Noise is more harmful to children's health than adults, and it can reduce the sensitivity of auditory organs.Noise is a kind of vicious stimulation to the brain, which reduces children's learning ability, inattention, and seriously affects children's intellectual development.In addition, there should not be high-voltage lines or power plants around the house, because the tall transformer needs to provide electricity for every household, so its interior needs to work continuously.When the power supply is working, it will generate a magnetic field, which will cause various diseases, which is not good for the health of the family.

12. Why should houses not be built in the area around the railway
Some people think that it is very convenient for the residence to be next to the railway traffic, thinking that it is a good feng shui, but in fact it is not.The railway itself has little effect on the feng shui of the residences on both sides. The main factor affecting feng shui is the roaring train.The speeding train brings strong airflow and strong aura, which seriously affects the normal aura and Feng Shui pattern of the houses on both sides. Therefore, the impact of the railway on the houses on both sides is actually the super-strong aura generated by the Mercedes-Benz trains. Effects on the aura of houses on both sides of the railway.

Even if the problem is not considered from the perspective of Feng Shui, when the train passes by, it will generate huge noise and strong airflow, which will also cause environmental damage to the houses on both sides.The messy garbage on both sides of the railway also caused great disharmony to the neat and quiet residential quarters on both sides.

If the railway is a curve, that is, the straight line has a little curvature, on the outside of the curve, apart from being affected by the powerful aura of the railway, the house will also be affected by an important evil spirit, that is, the arched back evil spirit.Arched back evil has a great influence on the house luck, and sudden disasters are prone to occur.On the inner side of the curve, the railway is equivalent to the surrounding jade belt road, which is more favorable, and can slightly alleviate the adverse impact of the strong aura of the railway on the residence.

Therefore, for the residences on both sides of the railway, or the people living on both sides of the railway, the fortune of the house or people is relatively repeated, and they cannot get long-term stability. It may be that after good luck, they suddenly encounter bad luck.

From the perspective of buying a house, try not to buy houses on both sides of the railway, especially for the elderly, because the ability of the elderly to resist interference from the external environment is far less than that of adults.

13. Why houses should not be built in lightning areas
Feng Shui emphasizes that it is best for houses to be located in front of hills and mountains, and requires trees to cover the hills on the back (that is, Feng Shui forest).From the perspective of lightning protection, the hill and its Fengshui forest have a very good lightning elimination effect, and the Fengshui forest just acts as a modern lightning rod, so that the building is in a safe aura, so that the house is protected from lightning strikes.Many ancient buildings are still preserved in modern China, which is related to the good ability of ancient buildings to resist natural disasters.

Natural lightning protection is mainly realized by corona and current generated in the lightning field by protruding objects on the earth's surface.If the house is backed by mountains or surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is obviously the most conducive to lightning protection.If the area where the house is located is not high or low and relatively flat, it is just in a safe position for natural lightning protection and is not easy to be struck by lightning.According to the selectivity of lightning strikes, groundwater outlets, river beds, lakesides, wet areas, wet buildings, etc. are usually lightning-prone points.Therefore, the residence should keep a certain distance from it to ensure personal safety.

14. Why should houses not be built under the cliff at the end of the mountain?
Houses facing the front of the mountain or the mouth of the valley are not only difficult to live in, but also prone to various diseases.The so-called "before the end of the mountain" refers to the area under the slope where the end of the mountain ends and the steep slope connects with the flat ground.The exit of the valley, that is, the easing part where the narrow valley between the two mountains enters the flat land.If it is on a vast plain, there will be rivers flowing through it.People who live in these two terrains are always in danger of being attacked by floods and landslides.

The above-mentioned terrain is called fan-shaped terrain in geography.Once the rapidly descending narrow valley stream enters the flat land, its flow speed will suddenly slow down, so the sand and soil brought by the stream will be deposited at the mouth of the valley.Especially in the flood season, a large amount of sand and soil caused by landslides will flow down with the flood and accumulate at the outlet of the valley, forming new land.

But looking back at it, the floods and landslides that created this fan-shaped land will come again without knowing when, so the danger can never be eliminated.Those who live in this kind of area will definitely be worried when the heavy rain comes. If it goes on for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that the body will not get sick.

15. Why is it most suitable to have water in the courtyard
Fengshui tradition holds that "Dingshui of Shanwang people prosper wealth", which shows how important water is to Fengshui.There are six types of water around the Yangzhai, the first is facing water, that is, water that faces you face to face, such as Jiuqu water and Yang Chao water.In ancient times, there was a saying that "nine tunes enter the Ming hall, and you will be the prime minister of the dynasty", saying that this water is very expensive.The second is to embrace the water, the water is entwined and hugged, and the twists and turns are affectionate. This is auspicious water, such as belt water and bow water.The third is horizontal water, like a word of water, it is also auspicious water.The fourth is oblique water, good and bad.The fifth is anti-bow water, which is worthless because "the water bypasses the acupoint and turns back". "If the water enters the bosom and hugs it back, it will weaken as soon as it is released." Therefore, this water is a fierce water.The sixth is to go straight to the water, which is venting, which is not good for wealth.

The power of water is extremely powerful. It nourishes life and combines rigidity with softness. It has both ornamental value and environmental protection value, and can even regulate temperature. "The Classic of the Yellow Emperor's House" pointed out that "the spring water is the blood of the house." Therefore, there must be water bodies in the perfect courtyard.There are many forms of water in the courtyard, such as ponds, swimming pools, fountains, etc., all of which have the effect of strengthening the house.In Feng Shui layout, even a bowl of clear water can bring a bright effect to the home.

Pond: It is very meaningful to have a pond in the courtyard of a modern home.In order to make the pond full of vitality, most of them raise ornamental fish, frogs, aquatic plants, etc. to form an ecological chain, maintain a good ecological balance and make the water fresh, which can promote the reconciliation of yin and yang.The pond transforms the living environment for the house, increases the natural beauty, and adds infinite poetry to life.

Pool: Swimming is one of the best fitness exercises.In feng shui, frequent close contact with water can infuse the quality of water into the body and mind, and help to improve the flexibility of thinking.The best orientation of the swimming pool is in the east or southeast of the courtyard, but not too close to the door, because it is necessary to prevent moisture from entering the house.The shape of the swimming pool is preferably circular and curved, and it can also be designed as an irregular circle, but it should not have sharp corners.
