1. Distinguish the role of space.
Many people now have one room with floors and another with tiles. In order to make the two rooms more independent, some owners will install a doorway between them to distinguish them. Different living spaces are also more convenient to use. It is often used in the kitchen or at the junction of the bathroom and the living room.
2. Solve the effect of internal and external height differences.
There is a situation where the materials installed in two adjacent rooms in our home are different, or there is a certain gap in the terrain, then we have some inconvenience when using and walking. In order to solve this problem , many owners will install a door stone here, which can effectively solve the height difference between the inside and outside of the room, and also make the room appear more spatially three-dimensional. For example, at the junction of ceramic tiles and floors, we often use doorstep stones.
3. Enclosure effect.
Everyone must be familiar with the practice of installing door stones outside the bathroom or kitchen. The kitchen and bathroom space not only consumes a lot of water, but is also relatively humid. At this time, the door stone can play a role in blocking water to a large extent. Bathrooms sometimes accumulate water because the floor drain does not drain away the water in time. The door stone is located higher than the bathroom floor, so it can block water to a certain extent. There is also a lot of water in the kitchen, and the installation of doorsteps can also prevent food and other waste from splashing outside.
4. Aesthetic effect.
Due to the layout of the house, many people's houses are on a corner as soon as they enter. If you lay the floor in this area, it will not only be difficult to arrange, but also easy to stain the floor. If we install a door stone at the entrance door, it will not only improve the aesthetics of the room, but it will also be more resistant to dirt and can bring as much garbage and dust into the room as possible. Passing stones are mainly installed in kitchens, bathrooms, balconies and other areas. Passing stones of different colors and materials can also play different transitional roles.
What is pressed under the door stone?
1. This is a custom passed down from our ancestors. Copper coins were grassroots coins in the past. They have passed through the hands of countless people. The implication is that they have a lot of yang energy. Putting them at the door can play a role in feng shui to ward off evil spirits. Do not bring bad things outside into your home, and keep out the door. It is similar to the situation where people can step over a brazier when something bad happens to them. This is just a common daily way to ward off evil spirits, and it also means that the family wealth will be improved. .
2. If you don’t have copper coins, you can put coins. If your family member is a cadre, put 7 coins under the door. If you are doing business, put 8 coins. Then use coins to make a "safe entry and exit" and buy it from the drugstore. 2 pieces of vermilion sand are scattered below, and a peach branch facing south is placed below. All of these will work, just do whatever works best for you.
3. There are two common types of copper coins: Five Emperors coins and Eight hexagram coins. Five emperors' coins refer to the copper coins of the five founding emperors. Wrap it in red cloth and place it at the four corners under the door stone. The 8 hexagram copper coin version is easier to understand. It means placing 8 copper coins in the 8 positions at the bottom of the door stone. These 8 positions refer to the 8 directions in the 8 hexagrams. In addition, these two installation methods also pay attention to time and location. Just choose a good and auspicious day. And the position of the stone should be corresponding to the auspicious positions such as wealth and wealth.
Which places need crossing stones?
The installation locations of crossing stones are generally in the kitchen, bathroom and balcony. The crossing stones play the role of solving the height difference between the indoor and outdoor floors and blocking water. It also plays a transitional role at the junction of two materials with different colors, such as the junction between the living room and the kitchen and bathroom, or the balcony floor. In addition to its decorative effect, the door stone has an important function of blocking water. Once the bathroom becomes flooded, it can block part of the water and prevent it from flowing into the living room.
