Wouldn’t it be nice to meet up with two or three friends from time to time in a beautiful courtyard to have tea, enjoy the scenery, and talk and have fun? I believe this is a scene that many people yearn for, so what are the requirements for courtyard feng shui? What are the taboos and solutions?
1. What type of courtyard has good feng shui
1. The courtyard should be square as a whole, long and narrow in shape, long from north to south and narrow from east to west, and located in the middle, which means wealth.
2. The courtyard is short on the left and long on the right, facing south. It means accumulating wealth and good fortune.
3. The rear part of the courtyard is neat, with the southeast part being longer and the southwest part being shorter. It means good luck and prosperity.
4. There is space behind the courtyard house but the shape is neat and square, indicating that it is an auspicious residence suitable for living and working in peace and contentment.
5. The northeast side of the courtyard is suitable for building houses, which is beneficial to the wealth of the residents.
6. The front part of the courtyard is narrow and the back part is wider, implying stability and wealth.
7. The courtyard has flat land and elegant design, which will make people feel relaxed and comfortable, which is conducive to the prosperity of the population.
2. What are the Feng Shui taboos in the courtyard and how to solve them?
Taboo 1: Tall green plants should not be planted in the courtyard. Because the roots of large trees grow below the house, which affects the stability of the foundation, and large trees can easily block doors and windows, affecting ventilation and lighting, which is not good for the health of the residents.
You can choose to plant some small trees and potted plants with good meanings in the courtyard, such as orange trees, which mean good luck; locust trees, which mean town houses; and bamboos, which mean rising steadily, etc. On the contrary, some common plants, such as willows, peach trees, and poplars, are not suitable for planting in the courtyard.
Taboo 2: The buildings in the courtyard cannot be remodeled or demolished at will, nor can the trees in the courtyard be cut down at will. You need to choose an auspicious day and perform a ground-breaking ceremony before breaking the ground to avoid affecting luck. It is also not advisable to pave with too many stones. Stones have Yin Qi, and paving too many stones will damage Yang Qi.
Feng Shui Hack 1: A pool can be set up in the courtyard, but it should not be dug deep or too close to the house. The refraction of sunlight into the house will make people dizzy.
Feng Shui Hack 2: For a square courtyard, the walls should preferably be curved or round. Because the wall is sharp in front and wide in back, it will give people the feeling of thorns on the back and throat.
Feng Shui Hack 3: The yard in the south has enough sunlight and can be used for sunbathing; the yard in the north should be designed based on the position of the trees as a whole, and can be designed to match the blank areas of the land. What needs special attention is that it is generally not suitable to set up a middle courtyard in the yard.
This concludes the introduction of the Feng Shui-related knowledge about the courtyard.
