The Four Elephants, in ancient China mythology, first refer to wood, fire, gold and water. Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, and two instruments give birth to four images. Tai Chi is one, which means chaos. Two instruments refer to yin and yang. The four elephants come from yin and yang. In the traditional culture of China, heaven and earth are divided into four regions: east, north, west, south and middle, and the east is called black dragon Elephant. Xuanwu elephant in the north and white tiger elephant in the west; In the south is the suzaku elephant, which is the "four elephants". Qinglong stands for face wood, white tiger stands for gold, Suzaku stands for fire, and Xuanwu stands for water. In the twenty-eight lodgings, the four elephants are used to divide the stars in the sky, also known as the four gods and four spirits. The traditional orientation of China is that the south is above the world, which is different from the modern north. Therefore, the description of the orientation of the four elephants will be expressed by Zuo Qinglong (east), You Baihu (west), Qian Su Zaku (south) and Hou Xuanwu (north), which echoes the orientation of the five elements (Dongmu, Xijin, Beishui and Huo Nan). Generally, there are four main options for opening a house, namely, opening the south gate (Zhuquemen), opening the left gate (Qinglong Gate), opening the right gate (Baihumen) and opening the north gate (Xuanwu Gate). In feng shui, it is auspicious to have a hall (open space) in front of the door. If there is green land, flat land, pool, parking lot, etc. In front, opening the middle door is the first choice. If there is no main hall in front, it is better to open the door on the left, because on the left is Qinglong, which is auspicious; The right belongs to the white tiger, which is generally inferior, and it is not good to open the door on the right. Opening the north gate is the Xuanwu gate, which means "losing". Open it carefully. Open Suzaku Gate: There is spacious green space, flat land, pool and parking lot in front, that is, there is a hall. In this way, the outside air will be received by the middle door before gathering, and the door should be opened in the middle of the front. Open Qinglong Gate: In Feng Shui, the Tao is water, and the context is important. Geogas flows from high places to low places. If there is a street or corridor in front of the gate, the road on the right is long water and the road on the left is short water, it is advisable to open the gate on the left to draw and collect gas. This method is called "Qinglongmen Gas Gathering". Open the White Tiger Gate: If there is a street or corridor in front of the gate, the road on the left is long for water supply and the road on the right is short for drainage, then the house should open the door on the right to draw and collect the earth gas. This method is called "White Tiger Gate Gas Gathering".
From the perspective of geomantic omen, people are most satisfied with the location of the East. Oriental orientation, there is a saying in Feng Shui that purple gas comes from the east. If the gate is located in the east, it will be very beneficial to the overall magnetic field of the house. The gate is least likely to be located due west or due south. Because these two directions belong to the direction with heavy brake gas. The direction of the outer door must not be downstream, otherwise it will break the money again and again.
The gate taboo is set in the southwest. Located in the southwest, it is called "the gate of hell" in geomantic omen. This position represents people's overall fortune, and their thoughts are stagnant. In other words, if the gate is set in this position, it will not only suppress people's health, but also hinder the upward development of the homeowner's career.
The orientation of the northeast is also very unfavorable to the geomantic omen of the house. The northeast belongs to Yin Qi's heavy area. If the gate is located in the northeast, there will be right and wrong, quarrels and disputes at home, which will lead to discord and separation at home. Will it be at the door? Place the statue of "Seven Stars Taiji Town" to resolve the drawbacks.
As the saying goes: "Build a healthy door, build a door in Xun, and your family will prosper." "Xun" means southeast. This position is a symbol of wealth from the outside to the inside, which is particularly beneficial to business people. But if you are an ordinary working class, you must pay attention to avoid going in and out of the gate too often. In other words, try to avoid unnecessary socializing. Otherwise, there will be scattered wealth guidance.
The location of the gate is best located on the left, which is commonly known as "Qinglong Edge", symbolizing dignity and good luck. Some houses are facing the main road, and in order to avoid road grabbing, they are designed as side doors or back doors. Guyun; "opening the door in the northeast is even more strange", "ribs open the door, ghosts and thieves specialize." Open the door in the middle of the back wall for ventilation. Therefore, it is unlucky to open the door sideways or behind. We can consider controlling the brake throttle in front of the door. The side door should be opened at the corner for good luck. Opening the garage door behind the house is not conducive to wealth.
