58. Why is the pond in the courtyard built in a certain position?

The pond in front of the house is called Fengshui pool.The shape of the Fengshui pool has a crucial influence on the good or bad luck of the house. The distance and shape of the pond in front or behind the house affect the good or bad luck of the house.Judging the good or bad of a feng shui pool depends on whether the feng shui pool can be used for the residence, and if it is beneficial to the house, it is auspicious.In addition, the incoming water should be clear, while the outgoing water should be dark. This means that the money should be taken clearly, the wealth is abundant, and it can gather wealth, that is, the outgoing water should be dark.What kind of pond is considered good?In Feng Shui theory, water is precious, curved and affectionate, and direct impact of water should be avoided. If the distance is not considered, but the shape, a half-moon-shaped pond is better. If there is such a pond in front of the house, the main money grain will be abundant. The ancient formula says: a piece of money Banyuetang, rich valley with hundreds of warehouses.The best Fengshui pool is shaped like a square inkstone pool. The formula says: the front pond is like an inkstone pool, and the descendants ascend to the top.

59. Why should the garden layout of real estate not be messy?
If the real estate is adjacent to each other in a uniform manner and the height is the same, it will show the beauty of the architectural landscape.This kind of landscape beauty is reflected in people's psychology as equality, mutual assistance, and harmonious coexistence.Therefore, it is conducive to the establishment of harmonious neighborhood relations.

If the adjacent layout of real estate courtyards is disordered and the heights are uneven, it will not only be unattractive but also reflect on people's psychology, causing people to discriminate against each other and causing estrangement.This is just as the ancient feng shui book "Water Law Zhuyan" said: "For ordinary people, if the doors of the house are messy and intricate, brothers must be at odds; if there are two directions behind the house, the family will be broken." If the air outlet is blocked by tall buildings, it will affect the feng shui of the house.

60. Why does the yard fence need to be intact and not triangular?
Many residential areas and rural residences have walls, because people feel that there is no sense of security without walls.There are many kinds of materials for the fence, including wooden fence, brick wall, tree fence, and iron fence fence; the design must be novel, and it cannot be daunting like a prison. A wall is like a mountain.Do not open large windows on the wall, opening a large window is like a red bird opening, which is easy to cause trouble and endless troubles.

The fence cannot be made wide in front and narrow in the back, in a triangular shape, which will make people feel very stressed and cause people to feel unhappy.The front of the wall should not be sharp and the back wide. People who live in this wall will not get money, and if the business is not good, it will be easy to lose money.If the wall of another house has a sharp corner or the corner of the house is facing the house, it is called "mud point evil", which will cause economic loss and spiritual unhappiness of the house. If the corner is facing the left, it is not good for the host. If you turn to the right, the hostess will be disadvantaged.

The surrounding walls of the house, including the gate of the house, must be kept intact and must not be broken, especially in the northeast, otherwise there will be disasters such as official complaints, tongue-in-cheek, and disease.When building a house, you should not build the fence first and then build the house. It is advisable to violate the word "prisoner".

61. Why can't the yard wall be too short or too high

The walls around the house should not be too high. Some people like to build the walls around the house high to guard against thieves. If the walls are too high, it will give people a prison-like feeling. People are poor.

The fence of the house should not be too low. A low fence makes people feel insecure, and it is easy to hurt people's hands and feet.The building of the wall should not be close to the house, otherwise it will easily give people a sense of oppression and depression.

62. Why is it best to have no vines for the yard fence
The walls of the fence should not be entwined with vines, otherwise there will be constant disputes and official complaints. Some householders like to make the walls covered with vine leaves, thinking that only in this way can they have a poetic and picturesque flavor. As everyone knows, this will make the house full of yin.The two walls are facing each other, and the low one is out of luck.The two sides of the wall should not be different in size. If the size of the wall is too large, it will lead to divorce. If the size of the wall is too large, the owner of the house will suffer from illness.

The design of the fence uses the method of space and uses natural materials to achieve the purpose of beautifying the landscape, such as the ground with different heights, the sides of the water body, and hedges and bushes.Make the wall in the green space, transform from the wall to the landscape wall.It is a superb design to unify the separation of space and the permeation of scenery.

63. Why should shoes be placed in the shoe cabinet instead of being misplaced?
It is a matter of course to place a shoe cabinet in the entrance, because it is very convenient for both the host and the guest to change shoes here.Moreover, "shoe" and "harmony" have the same pronunciation, which means harmony and harmony, and the shoes must be in pairs, which is very meaningful. The family needs harmony and harmony most, so seeing shoes at the beginning is auspicious.But even so, there are still some aspects to pay attention to when placing shoe cabinets in the entrance.

Shoes should be hidden rather than exposed: the shoe cabinet should have a door, if the shoes are piled up in a mess and there is no door to cover them, it will be very unsightly.Some cleverly arranged shoe cabinets in the entrance are very elegant and natural. Because they are covered by doors, it is impossible to tell that they are shoe cabinets from the outside, which is in line with the way of hiding.

Feng Shui attaches great importance to airflow, so the shoe cabinet must try to reduce the peculiar smell, otherwise if the peculiar smell spreads to the surroundings, there will be no good Feng Shui at all.

64. Why should the shoe cabinet be placed around the door

The shoe cabinet should not be too high or too large: the height of the shoe cabinet should not exceed the height of the head of the household, if it exceeds this scale, it is inappropriate.The size of the shoe cabinet should be small rather than large, short rather than high.The shoe cabinet should be placed on the side rather than in the center: although it is practical, it is difficult to be elegant. Therefore, in addition to the points mentioned above, it is also necessary to pay attention to the side and not the center. It is best to place it on the left and right sides, that is, the shoe cabinet. It is not suitable to be placed in the center, it is better to move it to the sides, away from the focus position in the center.

65. Why should the toe of pointed shoes be placed in the cabinet

Most of the shelves in the shoe cabinet are tilted. When placing shoes, it is best to put the toe of the shoe in the cabinet. Otherwise, every time you open the shoe cabinet to take the shoes, the toe of the shoe will face you, forming a fire hazard. Over time, it will be harmful to your health. Useless.

66. Why can't the ceiling be too low?
The ceiling of the roof of the living room is high above the sky. For residential Feng Shui, it is a symbol of the sky, so it is very important.There are several points for attention in the decoration and arrangement of the ceiling.

The general floor height of modern houses is about 2.8 meters. Compared with the increasing height of Chinese people, this standard is already under a little pressure. If the roof of the living room is decorated with false ceilings, if the design is slightly improper, it will be quite cumbersome and the sky will collapse. The strong sense of oppression that comes down will cause the occupants to be under too much pressure.

The false ceiling is too low to accommodate the beams of the roof, which is not suitable for Feng Shui or design.In this case, a false ceiling arrangement with low sides and high middle can be adopted. In this way, not only is the vision more comfortable, but also the concave position in the middle of the ceiling will form a water-gathering "Tianchi", which will also be of great benefit to residential Fengshui. .If you hang a resplendent crystal lamp in the center of the "Tianchi" where the water gathers, it will be the finishing touch, but do not install mirrors on the ceiling, this is a taboo in Fengshui.

67. Why should the color of the ceiling be light rather than heavy

In ancient times, the heaven and the earth were just a piece of chaos when they first opened, and then divided into two qi. The light qi rose to form the sky, while the heavy turbid qi sank to form the earth, so there was a division of heaven and earth.The ceiling of the living room symbolizes the sky, and the color is of course light and light.For example, light blue symbolizes the bright blue sky, while white symbolizes white clouds.The color of the ceiling should be light, while the color of the floor should be dark, so as to meet the meaning of lightness and weight.Therefore, the color of smallpox should be light rather than heavy.

68. Why is it best to have lights on the ceiling

In the dark living room, it is advisable to hide fluorescent lamps on the ceiling.Some living rooms that lack sunlight are dim day and night, gloomy, and easily depressed after a long time in them. If there is such a situation, it is best to make up for it by hiding fluorescent lamps in the four sides of the ceiling.The light is reflected from the ceiling, which is neither glare, but the light emitted by the fluorescent lamp is closest to the sunlight, which is most suitable for the living room lacking natural light.Moreover, fluorescent lamps and crystal lamps can go hand in hand. During the day, fluorescent lamps are used for lighting, and at night, resplendent crystal lamps are used.

69. Why can't the ceiling and decorative lamps form a triangle

In fact, the human neck is related to the ceiling in the home.The ceiling includes the roof and everything related to the roof.A person's mental problems are actually affected by the Feng Shui of the home.

Some people live in an independent garden with a pointed triangle roof. If the bed is located under the pointed corner, that is, lying under the inclined angle instead of the flat ceiling when sleeping, nervousness or even insanity will appear.

70. Why is it not suitable to place Tai Chi objects on the ceiling
The ceiling is not suitable for placing Tai Chi objects, which means that the ceiling is not suitable for extremely yang or extremely yin colors.For example, red represents Yang and black represents Yin.The entire ceiling is painted red or black, and people's emotions are easily affected by these two colors.So the ceiling should use a neutral color, rather than a single overcast or shaded color.

71. Why should the ceiling not have sharp corners?
Due to architectural design reasons, there are sharp corners and beams in the living room of many modern houses, which not only looks bad, but also puts pressure on the occupants, which has a great impact on the feng shui of the house.And from the point of view of residential aesthetics, we need to pay more attention, otherwise the living room will lose harmony and unity, so we must try to resolve it.

(1) Fill up the sharp corners with wooden cabinets, either high cabinets or ground cabinets.

(2) Put a pot of tall and dense evergreen plants at a sharp corner, which can also help reduce the impact of sharp corners on the feng shui of the living room.

(3) Placing a fish tank in the sharp corner of the living room is also a good way to eliminate evil spirits, because the water in the fish tank can reduce the oppression of the sharp corner, so that the air in the corner has a lot of room for maneuver, which not only conforms to the way of Fengshui, but also can Beautify the home landscape.

(4) Use the method of filling up the sharp corners with wooden boards, completely cover the sharp corners with wooden walls, and then hang a landscape Chinese painting on the newly built wooden board wall, preferably "Huashan Sunrise" picture, with Alpine to suppress this sharp corner bit.In this way, it is both beautiful and effective in reducing evil spirits.

72. Why it is best not to keep plants that are easy to wither in the house
There can be no withered plants in the house, and the same is true outside the house.If there is a withered tree or a tree with a strange shape outside the gate of the house, it is taboo in Feng Shui. If the plants seem to be withered, it means that the energy in the home is insufficient.

Plant arrangement should focus on the decorative beauty first, and the number should not be too much, otherwise it will not only be messy, but also the growth condition will be poor.The choice of plants must pay attention to the combination of small and medium-sized plants. It is best to place at least one 1.8-meter foliage plant in the living room, or at least 3 pots of small potted plants.In addition, it should be placed at a corner so as not to hinder people from walking around.

73. Why should the plants in the home be placed in the right place
Pay attention to the placement of plants so they don't obstruct family activities or appear cluttered.Large potted plants, such as Brazilian wood, fake betel nut, dracaena, araucaria, cycad, rubber tree, etc., can be placed at the entrance of the living room, the corner of the hall, beside the stairs; small foliage plants, such as spring feathers, golden Dieffenbachia, colorful taro, etc. can be placed on coffee tables and low cabinets; medium-sized foliage plants, such as palm bamboo, agave, monstera and other hanging plants, as well as false embankments, ivy, duck stone grass, etc. can be placed In the table cabinet, corner sofa.

In addition, the layout of the living room is also very important.If you have wealth, everything will go smoothly, and the luxuriant bonsai lining with wealth can make your fortune better.Bonsai flowers and leaves must be round and large, avoid conifers and rhododendrons.Especially plants such as fortune tree and evergreen are the best, because such plants symbolize the owner's positive, optimistic and enterprising attitude towards life, and the height of the vase should preferably be more than half the height of the house.If the height of the vase is not enough, it can be raised with a shelf, so that people can capture the scenery just right as soon as they enter the door, which is too beautiful to behold.Since plants are outdoors and belong to shade, it is suitable to be placed in the living room only by tying red ribbons or sticking red paper on the plants or pots to turn the shade into the sun.

74. Why is the dark color of the floor tone better?

The color of the ceiling should be light, while the color of the floor should be dark, so as to meet the meaning of lightness and weight.

The color of the floor of the porch should be darker: dark color symbolizes thickness, and the color of the floor symbolizes deep foundation, which is in line with Fengshui.If it is required to be brighter, it can be surrounded by dark stones, and the middle part can be made of lighter stones.The color of the ceiling on the top of the entrance should not be too dark. If the color of the ceiling is darker than the color of the floor, it will form a pattern that is heavy at the top and light at the bottom, which symbolizes that the family is out of order. It's normal to be light and heavy.If you choose to lay a carpet in the entrance, the reason is the same. It is advisable to choose a carpet with a darker color on the four sides and a lighter color in the middle.

75. Why should the pattern of the floor not have sharp corners?
The pattern of the porch floor should not have sharp corners punching the door.There are many patterns on the porch floor, but all of them should choose the auspicious content.It is necessary to avoid choosing those patterns with sharp corners, and it is absolutely inappropriate to use sharp corners to punch the door, so as not to make the family restless and cause innocent disasters.

For the wooden floor of the porch, no matter what kind of wood it is, its arrangement should make the wood grain oblique to the inside of the house, like running water flowing obliquely into the house, but the wood grain should not go straight to the door, otherwise it is unlucky. Therefore, the wood grain of the porch floor is not suitable. Straight for the door.

76. Why the living room should be seen at a glance

In China, due to cultural and geographical differences between the north and the south, the requirements for the size of the living room are very different, but no matter the small bedroom in the hall or the large bedroom in the small hall, the living room is not only a place for welcoming guests at home, but also a center for daily activities of the whole family. .The living room is a strategically important place in the home layout. From the pattern of the living room, you can see the owner's self-cultivation and tolerance, that is, "there is no need for a large room to be elegant, and the fragrance of flowers should not be too much." Because the living room has a wide range and is connected with other functional spaces, There are a lot of furniture in it, so its influence on the whole house cannot be underestimated. Whether it is to beautify the home, or to seek good fortune and avoid evil, the status of the living room is very important, and its layout and decoration must be carefully considered to achieve With a well-thought-out plan, gather energy to make money.

The living room is a public place and the connection point of all functional areas in the house, so it should be open and preferably located in the center of the house.The living room should be in front of the house, not behind the house.Compared with the room, the lighting in the living room must be good, and the light must be sufficient, paying attention to the light hall and dark room.If the living room is spacious, it is not ideal to use a part as a bedroom.It is not advisable to see the kitchen stove, door, and back door at the entrance of the living room, and the aisle should also avoid running straight or horizontally through the whole room.

77. Why should the wall partition be solid at the bottom and empty at the top?

The wall interval should be solid at the bottom and empty at the top. For the porch facing the gate, the lower half should be based on brick walls or wooden boards, which is solid and stable, while the upper half can be decorated with glass, which is ideal for transparency.

If the entrance is not separated by a wall, it can be replaced by a low cabinet, on which glass or transparent wooden frames are used for decoration.The low cabinet can be used as a shoe cabinet or a glove cabinet, and the top can be inlaid with frosted glass, which is both beautiful and practical, and at the same time conforms to the principle of the bottom is solid and the top is empty.It must be noted that glass is different from mirrors, and mirrors that can reflect are generally not allowed to face the door, because it will reflect the wealth of the family, but frosted glass has no such concerns.

The color of the walls must be moderate. Whether the wall partitions of the entrance are made of wood, bricks or stone, the color should not be too dark, so as not to make the entrance look dull and lifeless.The ideal color combination is that the ceiling at the top is the lightest, the floor at the bottom is the darkest, and the walls in the middle are in between, as a blend of up and down.

The wall intervals should be smooth. The entrance is the main passage for entering and exiting the house. The walls and floors are smooth so that the air flow is unobstructed.However, if the protruding stones are used as the porch decoration, if it is uneven, there will be many obstacles in the house luck, which must be avoided as much as possible.
