Three taboos for playing mahjong

One of the taboos of playing mahjong: location

The position of playing mahjong has always been the most exquisite, which is related to the luck and wealth of people who play mahjong. When playing mahjong, if you put your head on the beam, people who play mahjong under the beam will be crushed to death by the beam and their personal fortune will be damaged. Obviously, if he wants to win, he will win. For example, sitting in front of the toilet is one of the bad postures. First, because of the large flow of people in the toilet, some people will accidentally steal cards; Second, the bad smell of toilets will have an impact on the mood and luck of mahjong players, leading to an increase in the chance of losing money. Some people think that it is good for the light to face the big window, but in Feng Shui, this position will also make your fortune miss, so this position is not good either. Although there is nothing wrong with the location of the bookcase, it is better for mahjong players to avoid the homonym of "book" and "lose" if they can.

The second taboo of playing mahjong: going to the toilet.

When a person's mahjong fortune rises, one after another, it is best to try to avoid going to the toilet. Because going to the toilet at this time is likely to wash away your luck, leading to the decline of the village, and this good luck is often taken away by people around you. In fact, it's not just a matter of feng shui. As far as our habits are concerned, once we have a better fortune, it will get better and better. If a person's luck is interrupted, or a person's going to the toilet is affected by such a filthy place as the toilet, then even his best luck will be affected. In addition, if you have to go to the toilet, as a winner, try not to wash your hands if you can, because washing your hands will also wash away your luck. In that case, when you go back to the mahjong table, your own good luck will not take care of you.

The third taboo of playing mahjong: when will you win?

Many novice mahjong players believe that winning more points is a good thing, especially the first hand can have a "good start". They think that winning the first hand is like sitting on the "top spot", and then they can guarantee a steady win. But this is not the case. In Feng Shui, it is best not to win the first hand at cards. This is not a good morality. As the old saying goes, paper wins first, money wins later. It can be seen that the person who wins first is often not the one who can laugh last.
