The "evil" in Feng Shui can be divided into two types: "form evil" and "qi evil". It's not the so-called strange power and chaos, it's actually an evil type, which is the same as the evil type in Go. All residents hope that their residence will have a beautiful scene of beautiful mountains and clear waters, which is eye-catching and comfortable. If evil appears and makes people feel depressed and awkward, then it is necessary to use Feng Shui methods to make up for it. The entrance hall is an important part of the house to resolve external evil.
The establishment of a porch can buffer the evil spirits. The evil spirits in Feng Shui refer to the tangible evil aspects, which mainly include the following situations:
The evil spirits of swords are also called sharp angles: that is, The door is facing the corner or sharp corner of the nearby building, like a wedge, driving into the center of the house, making the residents feel as if they are being pointed directly by a sharp knife, making them feel unbearable and extremely depressed.
Hidden chest: The road or alley opposite the house is in a straight line and rushes towards the house. The momentum of the house's outward development is blocked by it, forming a road rush, also called a street. Go straight.
The house is located at a low level and has to withstand the huge pressure from the road coming from a high level. It is like a torrential flood moving down, with great force, rushing straight into the house, making it impossible for the residents to stop it. .
Setting up a porch can also resolve qi evil, which refers to the direction of the flying evil star. Because it is invisible and imageless, it cannot be observed with the naked eye like shape evil, and can only be calculated based on Feng Shui mathematics. If the head of the household is born in the east four directions, but the door is opened in the west, northwest, southwest or northeast, and the door is in conflict with the head of the household, then for the family, this is a house-related qi evil.
On the other hand, if the head of the household is in the west direction, and the door is opened in the east, south, north, and southeast directions, the door will conflict with the head of the household. ; For this family, this is also a house with evil spirits. If a house encounters such a situation, then setting up an entrance hall is a top priority. There are mainly two ways to block evil spirits at the entrance:
1. The entrance can divert the external air entering from the door: the external air originally enters directly from the evil direction, instead of entering from the evil direction. The auspicious side comes in at a turn, which is in line with Feng Shui's method of pursuing good luck and avoiding bad luck. For example, for people with the fourth destiny of West, if the door is opened in the unlucky position of the north, the door will bring evil; but if a porch is added, the air outside the house originally flows from north to south, but now it enters from west to east. West is the auspicious direction of the destiny. , you can turn bad luck into good luck.
2. The entrance hall can not only resolve physical evil and qi evil, but also prevent the leakage of strong qi. From the perspective of Feng Shui, the prosperity and wealth that enter the house through the front door should circulate inside the house as much as possible, and then slowly flow out of the house after being fully utilized by the house. If the door forms a straight line with the balcony or window, the good energy and wealth flowing from the door will quickly flow away from the balcony or window. It is difficult to accumulate money and money. The remedy is to set up a porch in between and try to divert the air from the door into the house instead of flowing away directly from the balcony or window. For example, a solid wall is built in the picture above. What is its purpose? It blocks the view from the entrance and forms a rotating space. Feng Shui is very important. This is the truth. If there is no practical training, you can see through the balcony living room at a glance from the entrance, which is commonly known as "the front is connected to the back, and both people and money are empty." The pattern is not good for the home. If the door goes straight to the door of the room, the people in the room will be easily disturbed. This situation can also be solved by using the entrance hall.
The concealing effect of the entrance
The living room is where the whole family sits and gathers. It is the center of family activity, so it should not be too exposed. If the living room is uncovered and lacks privacy, and every move of everyone in the home can be seen by outsiders outside the door, there will be a lack of security, and it is not a good sign from a Feng Shui perspective.
The entrance hall is the buffer zone between the door and the living room. It basically acts as a cover so that outsiders cannot observe the activities in the house from outside the door, which can solve the above problems. With the entrance guarded by the side, you will feel that the security in the living room is greatly increased, and at the same time, you are not afraid of having your privacy exposed.
In the United States and Canada, the living rooms, dining rooms and living rooms of many houses do not face the main door. Instead, they are either stairs or walls, which can avoid the worry of wind and sand entering the house. In Eastern-style residential design, there is an entrance hall without a porch. If the door is blown by wind and sand, sitting in the living room will be deeply disturbed. If the door happens to face the northwest or true north and is often hit by the biting cold wind in winter, then a porch is even more needed for protection.
Houses that are close to the ground are often easily penetrated by strong winds and sand dust from outside. Setting up a porch can prevent both wind and dust, thus maintaining indoor warmth and cleanliness.
