In fact, many people misunderstand the purpose of this water tank. They think that the water tanks in rural courtyards are only for fire protection or for daily water storage. This is really a misunderstanding of Menhai. You must know that China has had Feng Shui metaphysics since ancient times. In Feng Shui, people have many considerations and opinions on the choice and structure of the place where they live. One of them is There is a saying that the place where people live must be a place where wind and water are hidden, so that it will bring good luck to people and bring happiness to people's lives.
Then we must live close to mountains and rivers. However, in reality, there are very few terrains where we can live, so we have to seek help from small fengshui. At this time, the door The sea came into being, with large water tanks filled with water. Place it in front or behind the house to affect the feng shui of the entire house and people's luck. Don't underestimate the decorations like Menhai. In Feng Shui, it is believed that the water trapped in the tank is stagnant water, and stagnant water will affect people's wealth, so some people will put goldfish or lotus flowers in the water tank. Turning stagnant water into living water will make people's wealth more prosperous.
And in terms of Feng Shui, there is a lot of knowledge involved in the placement, angle and quantity of the gates. We can observe that there are many large water tanks in the Forbidden City in Beijing. , their use is not only to store water and put out fires, their position, number and angle are all very knowledgeable in Feng Shui, and will also affect the location of the dragon veins of the Forbidden City in Beijing. It is precisely because of this Feng Shui custom that it has gradually affected the decoration of some items in our ordinary people's houses. Therefore, when it comes to the decoration of Menhai, some people will specially ask some masters of metaphysics to help them observe what should be done. Wherever you place it, it can increase the feng shui fortune of your location.
In a word, metaphysics is a very long-standing knowledge in traditional Chinese studies. We should also respect the inheritance of this tradition, so we can see Menhai in rural areas or in some courtyard houses now. When designing this kind of water tank, you should also have a certain respect for this traditional furnishing object.
