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

Chapter 5 Housing (1)
27. Why should the housing shape be square and not long and narrow?

Since ancient times, Chinese people have been deeply influenced by the concept of "round sky and earth". When building houses, most of them are square, stable and impartial, whether it is the outer walls or the inner halls.

In terms of Feng Shui, it is better to use a square shape for a house.That is to say, from the position directly above, the shape of the house is square or rectangular, with no missing corners on the four sides, and the left and right sides are symmetrical to each other, which is the most ideal shape of the house.If it is narrow or irregular, it is considered unlucky.

This is because, according to the principles of Feng Shui, the shape of a square house can make the energy of Qi circulate in a balanced manner, without causing too much or too little harm, thus bringing a good impact on the physical and mental health of the house owner; and Houses with strange shapes and missing corners will stagnate or flow irregularly, and the distribution of energy field will be very uneven, which will affect the physical and mental health of the house owner and daily life.

From the perspective of modern concepts, Fangzheng's house has a high practical rate, it is very convenient to place furniture, and it is easy to meet the requirements of ventilation and lighting.Living in the meantime, you will naturally feel comfortable, calm, and family harmony.

28. Why choose narrow and multi-angle carefully when buying a house
Due to the constraints of construction site conditions, many modern developers often develop a lot of houses with corners, and call them "diamond shapes", which confuses property buyers.But it is recommended that you pay attention to the shape of the building when buying a house, and choose a square house as much as possible.If there is really no choice, at least it must be compensated through the design of the space environment.

Most of the houses in modern cities are long and narrow.The so-called long and narrow, refers to the length more than twice the width.If the length is 10 meters and the width is only 4 meters, it is called long and narrow.For narrow and long houses, the best solution is to divide the living room into two with furniture such as low cabinets and dressing tables, and cut the strip into two square spaces so that it no longer looks narrow.

29. The distance between adjacent houses should be appropriate and should not be uneven
The distance between buildings should be able to meet the two requirements of sunshine and ventilation.Spacing varies with factors such as latitude, topography, height and length of dwellings, and orientation of dwellings.

Generally, it can be estimated based on the minimum requirement of having more than two hours of sunlight indoors around noon in winter.Generally, the ideal requirement is that the front-to-back spacing is equal to the height of the building, and the side-by-side spacing is equal to half the height of the building.For example, if a 6-storey building is 18 meters high, the ideal spacing is 18 meters from front to back and 9 meters from side to side.

30. Why is it not suitable for many people and few rooms?

Popularity and Fengshui are also closely related. For example, a house is about 200 square meters, which is a very large area. If the population is not too large, it is not recommended to live in such a large house from the perspective of Fengshui.First, it is not good at management; second, it is not suitable from the perspective of Feng Shui.Because Feng Shui also absorbs popularity, it is not very good if it is not popular. The "Reunion Sutra" says: "If the house is small and the number of people is too large, the house is auspicious; if the house is full of people, the house is bad, and the people are bad." So a big house is not necessarily a good thing.

31. Why couples and children should not live in the same room

While focusing on comfort and elegance at home, it also begins to pay attention to orientation, harmony of yin and yang, and compliance with the laws of the five elements.It is often inconvenient for parents and children to live in the same room, and the parents' horoscope and five elements sometimes interfere with their children. Long-term living will affect the growth and development of their children.Therefore, living in the same house or room, some people are sick, some are healthy, some families are prosperous, some families are declining, etc. It is very normal.The best way is to design a good feng shui to resolve the conflict between parents and children, and make the family harmonious and happy.

32. Why do the functions of each room in the house need to be demarcated?

The home is divided into areas by function, usually including the entrance, living room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, master bedroom, second bathroom, children's room, study room, guest bedroom, balcony, etc.The division of each functional area is led by the porch, and then unfolded in sequence.

porch.The place where you just enter the door is called the entrance.The porch is a transitional space for entering and exiting the portal, which plays the role of transition.The function of the porch: firstly, to block the sight from the outside and ensure the concealment of the room; secondly, to prevent the air in the room from leaking out.The living room cannot be opened wide like a city gate, and the porch just solves this problem.Now the entrance of the living room is the shadow wall in traditional Chinese houses. Before entering the hospital, there is a space to guide people's sight, and then enter the room.

living room.The living room is generally the largest in the living room, and it is the main place for a family's daily activities.It brings together multiple functions of entertainment, meeting guests, and leisure, and connects the dining room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, study room, and balcony. When arranging, care should be taken not to interfere with each other between the functional areas.The living room is the place that can best reflect personal characteristics, decoration style, grade, cultural taste, self-cultivation and life interest.

kitchen.There are two types of kitchens: dry and wet, or Chinese and Western.Probably frying, frying, cooking, and deep-frying belong to Chinese style, while microwave and electric heating belong to Western style.Many apartment types only divide the two areas of kitchen and dining room, without subdividing Chinese and Western areas, while some high-end residences clearly distinguish between Chinese and Western areas.Whether it is Chinese or Western, it is required to be easy to use.The kitchen occupies an important position next to the door in the home, because people depend on food.Maybe you'll say you don't eat at home very often, and that's okay too.

restaurant.The current home design generally does not have a special dining room. The dining room is just a natural extension outside the kitchen door or an area outside the living room. It is completely open, and some wine cabinets and bar counters are also designed here.It seems that there is no need to design a closed room for the restaurant in the home, it is very convenient in the public area.The graphic design and layout of the restaurant should fully consider the space for human activities and the distance between cupboards, refrigerators, tables and chairs. Everything should be arranged conveniently and reasonably. other areas.When it comes to the refrigerator in the dining room or kitchen, it can be placed in the kitchen as well as in the dining room.When buying a refrigerator, you should try to buy an environmentally friendly one that will not damage the indoor air or the atmosphere, so why not do it.If the refrigerator is placed in the kitchen, be careful that the refrigerator door does not face the kitchen door and stove; if it is placed in the dining room, there are no special requirements for the location.But it is best not to put the refrigerator in the bedroom, let alone on the bedside.As for the dining table, it is naturally placed in the restaurant area, and for some high-end ones, a spare dining table can be placed in an appropriate position for the convenience of food access.In addition, pay attention that the dining table should not face the door of the bathroom. If the apartment type is that the bathroom faces the dining table, it should be modified during decoration.

If your home is dominated by Chinese food, the lights should be brighter; if it is mainly Western food, it can be darker, the so-called light in the middle and dark in the west.On the wall next to the dining table, it is best to hang a still life painting, such as apples, bananas, table knives, teapots, etc.

33. Why is it better to narrow the water inlet of houses and buildings

Whether it is an office building or a commercial store, once the area reaches a certain level, there will inevitably be corridors or passages for people to walk.Most people only pay attention to the layout of the office space, but ignore the crucial corridor layout. They don't know that the company's fortune is also inseparable from it.

"Shuikou" is a special term in Feng Shui, which generally refers to the starting and ending position of the road. As the name suggests, it is the entrance of water that drives the flow of life.In a commercial office, the location where the hallway connects to the passage is the water outlet, which is also the starting point of the company's inland, and all the energy absorbed by the gate flows to the company through this outlet.

In order to accumulate more gas without obstructing the flow of gas, the nozzle should be slightly narrower.Under the premise of ensuring smooth entry and exit, the passage from the foyer to the office area is designed to be relatively small, which can slow down the speed of anger entering the office, and use the slow movement of energy to enable the company and employees to receive more positive information. It can prevent the excessive loss of anger.

34. Why should the corridor not face the door
Whether it is the corridor of a commercial building, or the internal passage of a residence or a company, it is not appropriate to set a gate in the position facing these roads.If the corridor is directly facing the company's gate, then this straight road will form a road rush, and the aura rushing straight into the company will damage the aura field, which will cause the company's financial fortune to decline.

If the internal passage of the company's office area is facing the door of an office, it will also generate evil spirits, which will affect both health and work fortune.If the corridor is facing the office of the leader of the company, it will cause him to be irritable and often have inexplicable anger.This not only affects employees, but also affects the company's external business.Therefore, when designing corridors, it is necessary to avoid facing the doors of houses, companies and offices.

35. Why should the house roof not be built into a triangle

An important aspect of the quality of a house depends on the shape, collocation and material of the roof.In modern times, many real estate developers have designed a lot of residences called South American style or Spanish style in order to be surprising and unconventional.Known for their novelty, these houses are favored by many home buyers.

In fact, exotically designed homes have their pros and cons when it comes to their deformed roofs.If it goes too far against tradition and national conditions, it is traditionally believed that such a house is unlucky, and even people who live under this kind of roof for a long time are prone to death or mental illness.

The triangular and steeply sloped roof tends to make the air inside and outside the house abnormal; the roof with a high middle and low sides is called "cold shoulder", which looks lonely from the outside.According to traditional Feng Shui, the continuous mountain peaks are full of vitality, and the steep peaks are especially the "mountain"-shaped peaks. The peaks in the middle are high and the peaks on both sides are low, like a triangle belonging to "fire" in the five elements.From the actual situation, the water flows to the lower place, and the roof with high middle and low sides is uneven, the speed of rainwater rushing down will be accelerated, the invasion of water will increase, and the building materials are also perishable, and the joints of the roof will be damaged. adverse effects.

36. Why the main house should be open

A good residence should be facing a gentle and wide hall with a wide view.In modern houses, the Ming hall mainly refers to the place where the entrance door meets the living room.Generally, what we call a porch is actually here to make a thing that acts as a water barrier.General home decoration should pay attention to this aspect. If it is done well, the luck will be smooth, and if it is not done well, it will delay the return of money.

37. Why should housing not face the gap between tall buildings

A narrow gap between two high-rise buildings, because it seems to be cut in half from mid-air with a knife, it is called "Heavenly Cut Sha".Since there is only a narrow gap between the two high-rise buildings, it is difficult for houses built in the narrow gap to avoid the impact of strong air currents.The wind in the lane is the hardest and the wind speed is fast, far exceeding the blood flow speed of the human body, so this dangerous wind makes the human body unbearable.

Traditionally, it is believed that if the house faces the "Heavenly Slashing Sha", there is likely to be a bloody disaster.The narrower and longer the gap, the more dangerous it is, and the closer the distance is, the more dangerous it is. Therefore, it is not suitable to choose a house facing "Heavenly Slashing Sha", but it is okay if there are other buildings behind it to fill the gap.

38. Why should the rooms of the house not be reflective
The quality of a building's feng shui is mainly composed of geographical environment, lighting, ventilation and other conditions.You may have to ask, isn’t it great to have light entering the room?There is a problem of degree here. The natural and soft sunlight is suitable for lighting. If the light is too strong, it will make people uncomfortable.Therefore, a house with glass on three sides is not suitable for living in.From the point of view of modern science, the frequency difference between the magnetic field of light waves and the normal magnetic field of the human body is very large, especially when there are strong and dazzling light waves, the magnetic field generated by it destroys the normal magnetic field of the human body, and it will act like a barrier, blocking the human body. The natural vitality is blocked outside the house, which fundamentally destroys the cohesion and injection of vitality.

If there is strong reflection in the house, one of the ways to avoid it is to block it with thick curtains with dark colors. You can also use frosted cellophane to reduce the reflection of light. A better way is to place green potted plants on the windowsill to make them A natural barrier is formed between the reflected light and the house, which not only normalizes the indoor environment, but also removes the reflected light and heat, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

39. Why should the doorpost of the house not be bent?
The doorpost is an important part of the door, so people pay special attention to it.The reason why the doorposts must be straight and not bent, there are both Feng Shui principles and architectural principles.

A crooked doorpost detracts from the dignity of the owner.The gate and the wall are symbols of the identity and status of the owner of the house. Therefore, if the doorpost is tilted or bent, it will damage the majesty of the owner.For this reason, people attach great importance to the integrity of the goal post.From an architectural point of view, there is another important reason: the doorposts can only be strong if they are straight, so that they can withstand the pressure of the roof and support the opening and closing of the door panels. A collapse occurred.The bending of the door posts also interferes with the overall aesthetics of the home.The doorpost is an important part of the facade of the house. The curved doorpost does not look tall and straight enough, has no strength, and does not have a majestic aesthetic feeling.If the doorpost is not straight, it will inevitably hinder the view and damage the dignity of the homeowner, which will indirectly cause people's psychological unhappiness, and the spirit will naturally be in a trance.

Therefore, in the construction of the door of the house, we must pay attention to whether the doorpost is straight and strong, which is related to the safety of the facade of a family and a house.

40. Why should the left and right doorposts of the house not be grafted or grounded?
Modern doors are simpler and have no roof.The gateposts are made of wood, brick, stone, concrete, iron pillars, etc.In order to ensure the straightness and firmness of the gatepost, the following points should be paid attention to:

(1) If wood is used as the material of the doorpost, the wood must be carefully selected, and the part buried in the ground must be smoked and burned to prevent decay.

(2) If concrete is used, most of them will be tiled.

(3) The iron door is simple in installation and strong in durability, but it is easy to rust and must be coated with anti-rust paint.

(4) Due to the size of the door, it can be designed as a single door, double door, left and right opening, etc.

(5) Gateposts cannot be constructed in a butt-joint manner.

The ancient Xiangzhai family said: "The left and right doorposts at the entrance of the house must never be built by grafting or foundation." The problem.The doorposts completed by grounding cannot withstand the pressure of the roof and the weight of the door panels. Therefore, what the housekeeper said is reasonable even from the point of view of modern architecture.

41. Why do housing gates avoid neighbor gates?
The so-called "one family prospers and the other declines" in Feng Shui, that is to say, if you prosper and the other prospers, and the other prospers you prosper, it can be said that either you die or I die, so the most important thing is the family you are facing. Neighbor.If the gates are facing each other, this phenomenon will occur, which is very scary; as long as the gates are not facing each other, this phenomenon will not happen.

Of course, if the neighbor behind you is the house of Mr. Li Ka-shing, it means that Mr. Li is your backer. This neighbor is good.But if the owner of the backer has just gone bankrupt or died, then the noble backer of your house will be lost.

42. How to choose good residents as neighbors
Gemologists believe that to look at the feng shui of a house, one must look at the neighbors, and there are four ways to look at it:
(1) Look at the backrest.Powerful and well-known, as stable as Mount Tai.

(2) Look at Mingtang.It is best for the gate to be on flat ground, or there is something in the distance that is prosperous, or the house is sitting on a mountain.If you are hungry, the opposite neighbor is preferably a bank or a circular building.Hungry Fire's home is a food restaurant, such as a Thai restaurant, and Korean BBQ is even more popular.Ming Tang, who is hungry for life, is a fashion store, and Mu Ye.It can also be the god of the house owner of the five elements of the store name.

(3) Look at the green dragon on the left.The building is taller than the right side, which is murderous. It is mainly for male employees or assistants in Italy, and it is effective in employing people.The blue dragon is like the moon branch in the four pillars of the horoscope.
