Song people are as tall as the sun, and wrote in the Wei Luzhai Jing: "Those whose houses are high in the east and high in the west are magnificent; The front is high and the back is low, and there is no portal; The back is high and the front is low, and there are many cows and horses. Where the land is flat, it is called good soil; After crossing the height, you will come down in front, called Jintu, which is a good place to live. High in the west and low in the east, called Lu Tu, became a saint with wealth; High before and low after, called Chu soil, fierce; The fourth is high. Under the central government, it is called defending the soil. It is rich first and then poor. " Today, from the above words, we can still see the ancient people's accurate induction of Na Xiang's geomantic omen. The same refined and vivid words are also reflected in Gui Qian Zhi (volume 14). This article, which records Liu Qi's self-description of his garden house in Jin Dynasty, said: "His old house was built in the place where he lived, and it was surrounded by mountains. If there are rocks in the west of Nanshan, my ancestors used to travel, and the white mountain in the east is the famous temple in the north. Yuquan and Longshan in the west, Shanxi wins. So the smog in the morning and the smog at night are extremely complicated. Its smoke throughput varies from window to window. There are several running waters outside the door. Every quiet night, the breeze is loud, which makes people insomnia. In every room of Liu Zi's family, he burns incense, puts pen, inkstone and ink, writes several volumes of books and doesn't sing. Looking up at the mountains and looking for the smell, I am happy all day long, although I don't know how to dress and eat. "
Judging from some film and television works reflecting ancient life, we often light a incense before entering the room. In fact, in this place, this incense is used to judge whether there is life or evil in the room. If the incense goes out soon after it is lit, the house won't stay long. Obviously, from the perspective of modern science, this shows that this house is caused by lack of oxygen or other "harmful" gases.
The ancients said in Feng Shui classics that "one place, two doors, three paths, four corners and five empty spaces" are collectively called "five machines", which is the basic factor for the classical Feng Shui theory to make houses welcome incense. Here, according to their different properties and functions, we can make the following understanding:
Geo-atmosphere generally refers to the size of the building foundation, soil quality, ground temperature and humidity and other factors and their physiological and psychological effects, including family cohesion or affinity embodied in the environmental atmosphere. Too strong or too weak ground air will make people feel uncomfortable physically and psychologically, and it needs to be adjusted by door air or other air.
The damper is the throat of the house, and there is a metaphor of "tuyere" in the method of taking pictures of the house. In fact, the door is not only a communication channel inside and outside the house, but also involves the safety of residents' access, defense, the harmony of neighborhood relations or the order of family status, and also restricts the landscape inside and outside the house, microclimate adjustment and other factors. Door atmosphere refers to the restriction and influence of these internal and external environmental connections of many houses. Door qi should not be too strong or too weak. For example, too much door air will dilute the ground air, including destroying the privacy of the house.
Quqi generally refers to the traffic guidance of roads outside the house and various factors affecting the house. The evaluation and selection of Qu Qi should not only consider the convenience of traffic and strong identification, but also avoid the adverse external interference related to it.
The atmosphere is surrounded by tall buildings. If it is properly surrounded, it will have a sense of stability in the place. If it is too tight, it will have a sense of oppression. These are all so-called qi. Of course, its "return air" also includes the important influence of high-rise shelter on microclimate factors such as ventilation, dehumidification and cooling, wind and cold protection.
Vacant air is the influence of indoor and outdoor environment caused by the infiltration of space circulation. In addition to affecting physiological needs, in psychology, it also refers to the closed space inside and outside the house, which gives people a feeling of looseness, openness or permeability, and also includes various unstable factors in public or semi-public space.
