So, how much do you know about courtyard feng shui? Let's take a look at Bian Xiao!
Water body: among the elements of courtyard geomantic omen, water nourishes life, enhances vitality, attracts talents and inspires wisdom. The Yellow Emperor's House Classic points out that "the house takes spring water as its blood.
Pond: The water in the pond is natural and friendly, which is of great benefit to the family's housing and transportation. Most ponds are round or irregular, but in the sense of geomantic omen, the shape of ponds is best semi-circle, which describes the semi-circle of the moon. The pond in front of the traditional Hakka house and the pond in front of Puji Zen Forest in Putuo Mountain are semicircular, so the lay people encourage themselves and look forward to continuous progress. The art movement is making constant progress.
Swimming pool is one of the best fitness exercises. In geomantic omen, frequent close contact with water can inject the characteristics of water into the body and mind and help improve the flexibility of thinking. Its best orientation is in the east or southeast of the courtyard, but not too close to the entrance, because it is necessary to prevent moisture from entering the house. Rounds and arcs are good, but sharp corners are not suitable.
Fountain: Fountain is the living water in the home, which helps to activate the air flow in the home, avoid the stagnation of wealth, and effectively offset the impact of running around and preventing bows. For example, installing upward lights in fountains can enhance the effect. In the layout of the courtyard water system, we must pay attention to the water system flowing to the front door of the house in a gentle curve, rather than flowing away, to avoid the leakage of money and water.
Garden plants: Plants are usually very vital. Planting a large number of healthy plants will create a fresh and energetic environment, and many plants are more spiritual because of their special texture and function, which will protect their homes and can be called the patron saint of houses.
Thirteen auspicious garden plants: palm tree, citrus, bamboo, Toona sinensis, Sophora japonica, osmanthus fragrans, Ganoderma lucidum, plum, banyan, jujube, pomegranate, grape and begonia. Exotic plants: peach tree, willow tree, wormwood, ginkgo tree, cypress tree, Sapindus mukoraiensis and gourd.
Orientation: The courtyard with the house facing south or north is good. Generally speaking, the courtyard is surrounded by houses, and it is not good to become an intermediate people's court, which will produce its own microclimate unless the area is large. And it occupies the heart of the house and affects good luck. It would be even worse if there were still stagnant ponds or old trees in the center.
Area: In order to match the area of the house, the mansion is equipped with a courtyard, and the hut is equipped with a small courtyard. In other words, the sense of scale should be unified.
Sunshine: The courtyard is most afraid of cold and humidity. It is best to have plenty of sunshine. If there is a pool, make sure the water body is clean, change water frequently and drain water.
