1, neither too high nor too low.
Pay attention to the moderate height when placing the idol, because in the introduction of geomantic omen, it is considered that the position of the idol is too high, on the one hand, it is not safe enough, easy to fall down and inconvenient to worship. On the other hand, because the feng shui energy of idols is too strong, putting it too high will suppress their fortune. On the other hand, if the location is too low, Yin Qi will appear, destroying the feng shui atmosphere.
Don't put it in the shade.
According to Feng Shui, there is insufficient yang in dark places, so there will be a lot of evil spirits, which is very destructive to residential feng shui and bad for fortune. Therefore, the idol should not be placed in the dark, otherwise it will have some negative effects on the feng shui gas field of the idol and hinder the effect of the idol. In such an environment for a long time, idols will only bring suffocation.
Don't lean on your back.
Avoid leaning against your back, which means it is best to lean against the back of the shrine and not leave it empty. With a backrest, it means that with a backer, worshipping God can protect the cause of future generations. Usually, there are often nobles to help, but behind this backer, there should be no places with polluted air such as kitchen and bathroom, otherwise it will wash away the aura of the gods.
The difference between shrine and ancestral shrine
The shrine is a small pavilion with statues of Taoist immortals and ancestral tablets. The size and specifications of shrines vary, depending on the width of the temple hall and the number of gods. There are bases and niches on large shrines.
The shrine is different from the ancestral shrine: the shrine is open, with curtains and no niche door; Ancestor's niche has no curtain, but a niche door. There are no steps in the seats of the shrine, which are arranged in front, middle and back and left, middle and right according to the order of the Buddha and the Buddha (people with multiple surnames in some temples are also arranged in the order of their ancestors).
Therefore, ancestral shrines are mostly vertical rectangles, and idol shrines are mostly horizontal rectangles. All the niches are made of wood, and are carved with auspicious patterns, emperors, heroes and Taoist immortals. Chaozhou people is inhabited by many ethnic groups, and there are many overseas Chinese. In order to clean up the roots, remember their ancestors and maintain blood relationship, they attach great importance to the construction and setting of ancestral temples.
