In fact, in many classical buildings in China, there are welcoming walls, which can be said to be one of the landmark buildings of China classical architecture. So what's the point of welcoming the door wall? Why does the rural gate use the welcome wall?
1, the entrance wall is close to the gate, generally located between the gate and the inner courtyard, which has a certain spacing effect. From a certain point of view, the use of the porch wall can protect the privacy of the owner, so that others will not see the living room directly from the gate. It also conforms to China's ancient concept of hazy beauty.
2. Generally, there will be some calligraphy and painting with excellent meanings on the porch wall, such as the word "Fu", the rising sun, pine trees and so on.
3. From the perspective of Feng Shui, the door is the entrance of "Qi" and the foundation of wealth and prosperity. The welcome wall can gather this kind of "qi" and make it introverted.
Generally speaking, the porch wall has a good meaning in geomantic omen, and it can also protect privacy.
