In China culture, numbers have special symbolic meanings, and some numbers are considered lucky or unlucky. When buying real estate, some people will avoid buying houses on the 4th floor and18th floor, because the homonyms of these numbers are similar to unlucky words.
First, let's see why the 4th floor is considered an unlucky number. In Chinese, the pronunciation of the number 4 is very similar to that of the dead word. Therefore, the fourth floor is regarded as an unlucky number, and it is generally believed that living on the fourth floor will bring bad luck and misfortune. This superstition stems from China culture's special interpretation of numbers and its emphasis on symbolic meaning.
Similarly, the 18 floor is also considered an unlucky number. In Chinese, the pronunciation of the number 18 is similar to that of all the way (meaning to get rich all the time). Although it sounds like an auspicious word, when buying real estate, it is generally believed that the18th floor will bring financial problems and misfortune. This concept may be because people are worried that living on the 18 floor will lead to wealth loss or misfortune.
It should be noted that this concept may be different between different regions and individuals. Some people may not care about the homophonic and symbolic meaning of numbers, but only pay attention to the actual situation and price of houses. However, in some traditional conservative communities, the homophonic and symbolic meanings of numbers are still widely recognized and followed.
Feng shui problems that should be paid attention to when buying a house;
1, the orientation of the house: the orientation of the house is one of the most important factors in Feng Shui. According to the principle of geomantic omen, the orientation of the house will affect the fortune and happiness of the occupants. Generally speaking, the house facing south is considered as the best choice, because it can receive enough sunshine and positive energy. On the contrary, northbound houses may be affected by cold weather, which is not conducive to residents' wealth and fortune.
2. Layout of the house: The layout of the house is also an important feng shui consideration. According to the principle of geomantic omen, the layout of the house should be reasonable and can circulate positive energy and airflow. For example, the main doors and windows of a house should face the open space in order to absorb the positive energy from the outside.
3. the environment around the house: the environment around the house is also a feng shui issue that needs to be considered. According to the principle of geomantic omen, the environment around the house should be clean and tidy with good geomantic omen. For example, there should be no sharp objects or bad terrain around the house. In addition, the vegetation around the house should be healthy and lush.
