79. Why the sofa should have a backrest, and the back should not be empty

There should be a backrest behind the sofa.The so-called backing, that is, the backing, means that there is a solid wall behind the sofa and there is no worries, so that it is in line with Fengshui.The chairs used in the ancient palace all use natural marble as the back, and the pattern on it is better if there is a faint mountain view, which is the reason.

If there are windows, doors or passages behind the sofa, and there is no solid wall to rely on, it means that there is no backing behind it, and it is empty, which is a situation of venting, and it is difficult to make money.And from a psychological point of view, the back of the sofa is empty and lacks a sense of security.As the ancients said, eyes see six directions and ears listen to all directions, because the latter two directions cannot be observed. If there is a door or passage behind the sofa, you have to worry about being attacked from behind. It is better to sit with your back against a solid wall for peace of mind.

Taking a step back, if there is really no solid wall behind the sofa, a more effective workaround is to place low cabinets or screens behind the sofa. This can be called an artificial backing, and it will also play a remedial role.

80. Why should there be no water behind the sofa
There should not be water behind the sofa, so placing the fish tank behind the sofa is a feng shui taboo.In the same way, it is not appropriate to place fish tanks, feng shui wheels and other water-filled decorations on the low cabinet behind the sofa.Of course, if there is no sofa behind, it is beneficial and harmless to fill the space behind with evergreen plants.

81. Why the position of the sofa is not suitable for the beam to press the top
If there is a beam on the bed, the victims are only one or two people sleeping on the bed, but if there is a beam on the sofa, it will affect the whole family, and the impact is very big, so it must be avoided as much as possible.If it is really unavoidable, you can place two pots of lucky bamboo on the coffee tables on both sides of the sofa, and use the continuously growing and rising lucky bamboo to withstand the pressure of the beam.

82. Why the sofa should not be hedged with the door

If the sofa is in a straight line with the door, it is called a hedge in Feng Shui, and the disadvantages are quite serious, which will lead to the loss of family members and the dispersion of wealth.In this case, it is best to move the sofa so as not to clash with the door. If there is nowhere to move, then you have to put a screen between the two, so that the air flowing into the room from the door will be more comfortable. It will not go straight to the sofa, the family will not be scattered and can gather together, and it can also keep the wealth from leaking out.However, if the sofa is facing the door, there is no serious problem. There is no need to dodge left and right, and there is no need to place a screen to defuse it.

83. Why should the sofa be bent rather than straight?
The important position of the sofa in the living room is like the main port of the country. It must absorb as much water as possible in order to thrive.A good port must have protruding bends on both sides, which are shaped like the letter U of the English letter. The protruding bends are like two arms protecting the left and right sides, and the central depression is the air receiving position of Feng Shui, which can store wind and gather energy. In order to achieve the prosperity of Ding and Cai.

The arrangement of the sofa should be like an advanced harbor, and it is advisable to have one arm stretched out on each side.If the sofas pass straight through a row, it is like a strong man with his arm broken, and it is difficult to do anything.

Although some ports are missing an arm and cannot be protected left and right, as long as there is a bend at the place where the water goes to embrace the upstream, which is called "Xiaguan Sand" in Feng Shui, you can also add children and make a fortune. "So it goes: "The geomancy is tight in Xiaguansha, and he is always the one who gets rich and prosperous."

If the sofa cannot be supported by left and right arms due to environmental constraints, then you can settle for the next best thing, place another sofa at the water level, and make Xiaguan sand to meet the incoming water flowing in from the gate, forming a water gathering situation. In line with the way of Feng Shui.In some residences, the gate and the balcony door form a diagonal line. In addition to setting the porch, it is necessary to arrange Xiaguan sand at the water outlet to welcome the incoming water, so as to prevent the water flowing in from the gate from leaking.

84. Why should there be no direct light on the top of the sofa?
Sometimes the light around the sofa is weak, and many people will place lighting on the top of the sofa, for example, downlights hidden on the ceiling or exposed spotlights, etc., because they are too close to the sofa, they often shine directly from the top of the head, which has a certain effect. It violates the way of Fengshui, so it should be avoided as much as possible.And from the perspective of environmental design, if there is light directly above the sofa, it will often cause emotional tension, dizziness, and restlessness.This can be somewhat alleviated if the light is redirected towards the wall.

85. Why shouldn’t there be a mirror behind the sofa to look at the back of the head?

Some people hang mirrors on the wall in order to make the living room look more transparent and spacious.In fact, in terms of Feng Shui, mirrors should not be hung casually because they have a reflective effect.There should not be a large mirror behind the sofa. When a person sits on the sofa, others can clearly see the back of the sitter's head from the mirror.And if the mirror is on the side and not behind, so that the back of the head will not be reflected in the mirror, then it doesn't matter.

86. Why should the coffee table be smaller than the sofa?

The tea table is used to place water cups and teapots. It is really inconvenient if there is no tea table for guests to toast tea and toast. Therefore, it is impossible to place a tea table near the sofa.

The sofa is the host, and the coffee table is the guest; the higher sofa is the mountain, and the lower the coffee table is the sand and water.The sofa should be tall, and the coffee table should be short. If the area of ​​the coffee table is too large, it will overwhelm the guests, which is not a good omen, so the coffee table in front of the sofa should not be too large.If the coffee table placed in front of the sofa is too large, this is a pattern of overwhelming guests, so avoid it if you can, so as not to make the family feel uneasy.The simplest solution is to replace a coffee table with a smaller area, and the host and guest cooperate with each other, so that it will not be an eyesore, and at the same time, it can conform to the way of Fengshui.

87. Why can’t the coffee table be higher than the knees?
When choosing a coffee table, it is advisable to take the principle of being short and flat.If the person is sitting on the sofa and the coffee table is not as high as the knees, it is ideal.In addition, the coffee table placed in front of the sofa must have enough space. If the distance between the sofa and the coffee table is too close, there will be a lot of inconvenience.

The shape of the tea table is ideally rectangular and oval, and the circle is also acceptable. The prismatic tea table with sharp corners is definitely not suitable for use.If there is not enough space in front of the sofa, you can put the coffee table next to the sofa.

In a long living room, it is advisable to place coffee tables on both sides of the sofa. The coffee tables on these two sides are like green dragons and white tigers protecting the left and right sides, so that the people sitting on the seat have left and right hands to assist them.

In addition to placing ornaments and flowers on the coffee table to beautify the environment, it can also be used to place telephones and desk lamps, which is convenient and practical, so the coffee table has become an indispensable appliance in the living room.

88. Why the color of the living room carpet should not be too monotonous

Because different people have different aesthetic senses, some people like colorful rugs, while others like more modest rugs.But from the perspective of Feng Shui, it is better to choose colorful carpets.Because the carpet with too monotonous color will not only make the living room eclipsed, but also difficult to exert a vigorous effect.Therefore, the carpet in front of the sofa in the living room should use red or golden yellow as the main color.

Carpet patterns imply auspiciousness, patterns on the carpet are ever-changing, and themes are all-encompassing.Some are animal-based, some are human-based, some are landscape-based, and some are purely pattern-based.Dazzling, how to make a choice?In fact, everything is the same, just remember to choose auspicious patterns.Those carpets with harmonious composition and bright and lively colors make people happy and pleasing to the eye, and the use of such carpets is the best choice.

89. Why should the placement of the carpet conform to the orientation?
Carpets are the easiest accessories to change the feng shui of your home. Since carpets often cover a large area, they play a dominant role in the overall effect. Be very particular.

General patterns have their own attributes of the five elements, such as the wave shape and the five elements belong to water, the straight stripes belong to wood, the star-shaped and pyramid-shaped patterns belong to fire, the grid pattern belongs to earth, and the circle belongs to gold. luck.

If the gate is opened in the south, the lucky color is red, because the south belongs to fire, so placing a red carpet with straight stripes or star patterns here can make the family full of energy and bring fame and fortune.

Many people like to place a gorgeous and colorful large carpet within the range of the sofa, which can not only add beauty, but also highlight the dominant position of the sofa in the living room.

From the perspective of Feng Shui, a rug in front of the sofa is as important as a piece of green grass in front of the house, and it is also like a bright hall in front of the house to receive Qi, which is indispensable.

90. Why should there be no nails on the wall
In order to facilitate the placement of sundries or decorations, nails or hooks are usually used on the walls at home.Use nails to hang pictures, after the picture is hung, its magnetic field will affect the Feng Shui layout, but the nails will not affect it, and the picture becomes the Feng Shui layout.But after the painting is removed, the exposed nails will have a bad effect.

If there are nails on the west wall, it indicates that the little daughter will have health problems, and if there are nails on the southwest wall, it means that the mother's health will have problems.Therefore, when you no longer use nails to hang decorations, remove them immediately, so as not to damage the Feng Shui layout of the home.

91. Why can’t the pictures of raptors and beasts be hung indiscriminately?

If you hang auspicious beasts such as white cranes, phoenixes, unicorns, and turtles in the living room, there are generally no serious taboos, but you need to pay special attention to hanging dragons, tigers, eagles, foxes, bears, etc. To form a guard pattern, the head of the beast must not be turned inward, otherwise it will bring bad luck of disease or accidental disaster.

92. How should clocks be placed in the living room
Clocks are one of our essential daily necessities. Did you know that they also have a great influence on home Feng Shui.The clock can avoid evil spirits. If there is a "sha" in the house, the clock can be hung in the direction of the evil spirit.If the door of the room is opposite, and the doors and windows form a straight line, a clock can be hung on a certain wall on the opposite straight line.For other clocks, it is best to sit south to north, which means that the house is safe.

Some people prefer big clocks. If the residential area is small, it is not appropriate to place a big clock in the living room. First, the sound of "Dangdangdang..." can easily cause fear and lead to trance.Second, there is a suspicion of overwhelming the host, which symbolizes that the elders in the house are not dignified and the children are disobedient.

In addition, it is best not to place too many clocks in the home.No matter in the living room or bedroom, only one can be placed in each room.If there are too many places, the peaceful atmosphere in the living room will be unstable, and over time, the people in the room will become anxious and mediocre.

93. Why is it better to use square clocks at home?
The company clock is preferably round

The clock in the home is best to be square. The home should be quiet and not moving. The square clock is more stable, which symbolizes that the family is at ease in the room.The office is suitable for hanging round clocks, the main business is like a wheel, and its doors are like a market.If the watch is triangular, hexagonal or octagonal, it symbolizes that people in the house tend to be at odds, with many disputes and conflicts.Clocks don’t need to be too big. Big clocks can easily make people feel restless, restless, and cause nervousness in the house, so we must avoid them.

94. Why the fish tank should not be too big or too high
A fish tank that is too large will store too much water. From the perspective of feng shui, water is important, but too much water is not suitable, and the fish tank is higher than the eye position when an adult stands up, which is too high. A fish tank should not be too large or too high, especially for a small living room.

95. Why can’t the fish tank be placed behind the sofa

It is impossible for any house to be perfect, there are always some evil spirits, and using a fish tank to resolve the evil spirits is one of the clever ways.There is a saying in Feng Shui that "drain water into the zero hall". The so-called "zero hall" refers to the bad position of unlucky, which means that water can be directed into the unlucky position, which can turn disaster into auspiciousness and turn bad luck into good luck.Therefore, the fish tank should be placed on the fierce side, not the auspicious side.

Do not place the fish tank behind the sofa. From the perspective of Feng Shui, it is inappropriate to use water as the backing, because water is impermanent, and it is difficult to find stability by relying on it as a backing.Therefore, placing the fish tank behind the sofa, where the whole family sits every day, will be unreliable and affect the stability of the house.And if the fish tank is placed next to the sofa, it will not hinder the feng shui of the house.

96. Why should the fish tank not clash with the stove

There is a lot of water in the fish tank, and the stove in the kitchen belongs to fire. Because "water" and "fire" are in conflict, if the fish tank in the living room forms a straight line with the stove in the kitchen, it will violate the taboo of conflict between water and fire.The conflict between the fish tank and the stove will damage the health of the family members. The reason is that water and fire are in conflict, and water can overcome fire.In addition, the placement of the fish tank should try to avoid being in a straight line with the altar.

97. Why should the fish tank not be placed under the God of Wealth
As the saying goes, "wealth belongs to the wealth position", so the god of wealth such as the three stars of fortune, wealth and longevity should be placed in the prosperous wealth position, which can be the icing on the cake.It would be a big mistake to place the God of Wealth on the fish tank.Because the fish tank should be placed on the fierce side of the house, if the God of Wealth is placed near the fish tank, this will contradict the principle of "wealth returns to the position of wealth", and if the God of Wealth is placed on the fish tank, it will violate the "Feng Shui" principle. The taboo of "going into the water with righteous spirits" will often lead to financial loss.

98. Why the number of fish should match the five elements of the head of household

It is relatively common to raise money by raising fish, but we must pay attention to six important issues, namely: first, why fish should be raised; second, the shape of the fish tank; third, the number of fish; fourth, the species of fish; The color of fish, six is ​​a taboo for fish farming.How many fish to keep in the fish tank is in line with the way of Feng Shui, mainly according to the fate of the head of the household and the five elements.

The number of creation of heaven and earth in "Hetu Luoshu" says: "Heaven produces water, and earth produces [-]% of it; Earth produces fire, [-]% of which is heaven; Sky [-] produces wood, and earth produces [-]% of it; Earth produces gold, [-]% of which is heaven. ; the five elements of the heavens give birth to the earth, and ten percent of the earth." According to the above presumption, as long as you find out the five elements of the fate hexagram of the head of the household, you can find out how many fish should be raised to match.

99. Why should the color of the fish match the five elements of the head of the household?

Red fish represents the element of fire. In principle, it is wrong to raise red fish. Under what circumstances can red fish be raised?When the fish you raise are not used to save someone’s feng shui, but only for ornamental purposes, you can raise eight of them as an ornament to respond to the fire and earth, and add algae, then the fish tank is no longer water, but gold, wood, water, fire, earth and five elements. both.Therefore, to raise red fish, you need to put algae into it, and put rocks at the same time, so that gold, wood, water, fire, and soil coexist. The fish tank is not purely for increasing water prosperity, but for decoration and viewing, and to drive a good aura in the air.
