What does it mean to point the fish head at the door?

The proverb "Fish head faces the door" comes from the concept of geomantic omen in China traditional folk culture. It is said that the fish head represents good luck and the door is the key position of the family, so pointing the fish head at the door is considered to bring good luck and good spirit. This practice is usually widely used in New Year's Day, weddings, moving and other celebrations. It is generally believed that it can make a person's family life more auspicious and harmonious.

In order to achieve the effect of placing the fish head facing the door, certain placement rules must be followed. First of all, the fish head must be cooked and not eaten raw. Secondly, the fish head must be aimed at the main entrance, and it must not be skewed or oriented in other directions. The head of the fish head faces indoors and the body faces outdoors. Finally, choose a stable place to place the fish head to prevent it from being broken or displaced.

Although the fish head facing the door has a certain superstitious color, its essential function is to add indoor beauty and communicate with family and guests. However, the limitations of this approach are also obvious. Fish head is not omnipotent, and it can't replace people's own efforts and wisdom. Therefore, we should cherish the efforts made on weekdays in order to better cope with the challenges encountered in life and work.
