Chapter 1 Feng Shui at the gate

The residential gate is the outermost sign of the separation of internal and external space, that is, the tuyere. The door of the villa is as important as the mouth of the human body to accept the breath of the outside world. A good door can improve the external fortune of the owner, and the three main doors, the main room and the kitchen pole in the villa are the first elements. It is the center of life, the facade of the house, and a barrier to divide social and private space. Chen Meigong summed it up brilliantly: building a car behind closed doors is deep in the mountains. Doors are closely related to the flow of inside and outside air, because neither inside nor outside air can pass through the solid wall of the house, but it is much easier to pass through the door. External doors affect the entry and exit of outdoor air into the room; The interior door has a great influence on the internal air in the home. Everyone will talk about the influence of feng shui at the gate every day when they enter and leave their own gate. Therefore, how to open the door of the house is very particular. Four Directions of Opening the Door China's traditional four directions of east, west, north and south are symbolized by four kinds of spirits and beasts, namely, peacock, snake turtle, dragon and white tiger. Its azimuth formula is: Qiansuzhaku, Houxuanwu, Zuoqinglong and Youbaihu. Generally, there are four main options for opening a square house, namely, opening the south gate (Zhuquemen), opening the left gate (Qinglong Gate), opening the right gate (Baihumen) and opening the north gate (Xuanwu Gate).

In feng shui, it's lucky to have something in front of your door. If there is greening, flat land, pool and parking lot in front, opening the middle door is the first choice. If there is no famous hall ahead, it is better to open the left door, because on the left is the dragon position, and the dragon is auspicious. The right belongs to the white tiger, which is generally inferior, and it is not good to open the door on the right. It is even more unlucky to open the North Gate as Xuanwu Gate. It is called the gate of hell abroad, and it also means defeat. Therefore, we must carefully open the north gate at home. Opening the door must match the shape of the road to open the Suzaku Gate: in front of it is a spacious green space, flat land, pool and parking lot, that is, there is a bright hall. In this way, the outside air is received by the middle door before gathering, and the door is suitable for the front middle.

Open Qinglong Gate: In Feng Shui, the Tao is water, and the context is important. The geogas flows from high to low in a few days. If there is a street or corridor in front of the gate, the road on the right is long for incoming water, and the road on the left is short for going. The water should open the door on the left to draw and collect ground gas. This method is called Qinglongmen gas gathering.

Open the White Tiger Gate: If there is a street or corridor in front of the door, the road on the left is long for incoming water and the road on the right is short for dehydration, then the house should open the door on the right to draw and collect the earth gas. This method is called Baihumen gas gathering. According to the principle of acquired gossip in Zhouyi, Dongsi House and Xisi House can be divided into Dongsi House according to different sitting directions, among which Zhai Zhen House, Xunzhai House, Libai House and Kanzhai House are Dongsi Houses; Zhai Kun, Duizhai, Ganzhai and Genzhai are the West Four Houses. At the same time, people are also divided into eight kinds of divination according to the zodiac and gender, namely, life-threatening, life-dying, life-divorcing, life-forbearing, life-exchanging, life-doing, and life-rooting (see the appendix of this book for the corresponding relationship between zodiac, gender and divination). Dongsi House is most suitable for people who are diviners of earthquakes, Xun, Li and Kan. The hexagrams belong to Kun, Right, Gan and Gen, and Xisi House is the most suitable place for them to live.

The orientation of the gate depends on the orientation of the gate. When we stand in the room facing the door, the direction we face is the direction, and the opposite direction is sitting. 1, Zhai Zhen is located in the east, and its gate faces west. 2. Xun Zhai sits in the southeast, and the gate faces the northwest. Sit south from the house, and the gate faces north. Zhai Kun is located in the southwest, and its gate faces northeast. 5. Sit in the west of the house with the door facing east. 6. The dry house sits in the northwest, and the gate faces the southeast. 7. Kanzhai sits with the north facing south and the gate facing south. 8. The mansion is located in the northeast with the gate facing southwest. If the divination of life is inconsistent with the divination of residence, for example, the owner of the residence of Dongsi Life Bureau lives in Xisi Residence, it can be avoided by changing doors.

The way to change the position of the door is to add a screen inside the door. Screen is very important in home. In ancient times, it was widely used. Every hall and room must be equipped with screen. The screen has three functions: changing the position of the door, dividing the space and protecting privacy. According to the different materials, it can be divided into glass screen, carved screen, painting screen and so on. The screen is characterized by small floor space and easy to move flexibly. Under the following circumstances, the screen can play an important role as a tool to resolve external evils. Sword through the heart: If the gate is facing the corridor or passage, it is shaped like a sword through the heart. This pattern is called piercing sword. If the depth inside the house is less than the length of the corridor, it will be the biggest disaster. The main solution is to install a screen inside, which can improve the effect of the door and avoid its sharpness. If the house is on the ground floor and the gate faces the road, you can plant some trees and flowers to resolve the external force coming straight at you.

Stair refund: if the door is facing the stairs, there will be two different patterns. First, the stairs you face are downward, and the wealth at home is likely to pass down, so you should set up a screen behind the door to prevent the outflow of wealth at home; On the other hand, if the stairs face up, you don't have to worry about the outflow of money and water. For example, putting big-leaf plants such as the God of Wealth and the cash cow in the door can attract money into the room. Breathing in the elevator: the door is facing the elevator, which is just a mistake. Originally, the house was a place to gather gas and nourish gas, but now it faces the elevator directly. In the process of its opening and closing, all the gas in the room is sucked away and scattered to other places, which is a big taboo. So you need to set up a screen behind the door to discourage you.

There are three ways to get started: 1. Open the door to see the red, also known as open the door to see the joy. That is, when you open the door, you will see red walls or decorations. Looking into the room, you will feel happy and give people a warm and exciting spirit and a good mood. 2. Open the door and see green. You can see green plants as soon as you open the door, which is full of fun and can use the effect of eyes. 3. Open the door and see the picture. If you open the door, you can see an elegant sketch or picture, which can not only reflect the self-restraint of the residents, but also alleviate the sense of hurry after entering the door.

There should be three things you can't see when you get started: 1, and get to the point. "yangzhai integration" cloud: get to the point and spend more money. That is, as soon as you get started, you see the stove, and your anger rushes to people, so that money can't come in. 2. Open the toilet. As soon as you enter the toilet, it's like welcoming people with breath. Here is an allusion to the mission to Chu: During the Spring and Autumn Period, Yan, a doctor of Qi State, was ordered to be sent to Chu. The King of Chu bullied him for being short and deliberately teased him, ordering him not to pass through the tall gate, but to dig a dog hole next to the gate to let him in. As a result, Yan Zi, who is very clever, said, If I want to visit China, please let me go. If I am visiting the dog country, let me go to the dog hole. Embarrassed the king of Chu. Going to the bathroom is the same. 3. Open the door and look in the mirror. Mirrors reflect wealth. If the gate is not directly facing the evil or filthy things, it should not be directly facing the gate.

There are two taboos at the gate: 1, the beam presses the door, and it is suppressed as soon as it enters the door. People in the main family will not be able to get ahead and will be frustrated and depressed all their lives. This is also a big taboo. 2. If the gate is arched, it looks like a tombstone, similar to a black house, which is very unlucky. This kind of situation is often seen in family decoration, especially to be avoided.

Color and size of the gate: It is best to match the color of the master's five elements (see the appendix for the relationship between the master's five elements and the zodiac), so that the gate of the house is more perfect. The auspicious colors of Jinming Gate are white, gold, silver, blue, green, yellow and brown. The auspicious colors of Jinming Gate are blue, green, yellow, brown, gray and blue. The auspicious colors of Mingmen fire are red, orange, white, blue and green.

At the same time, the gate is the face of a family, which is new and should not be old. If the gate is damaged, it should be replaced immediately. Draining water at the door can urge money to make good use of the function of the door, which can urge money and make money for the family. The orientation of the talent door can be said to be the lifeblood of wealth, and the easiest way to promote wealth is to put water by the door. The so-called owner of the mountain is the owner of the water, and the convenience of the land with water can play a role in wealth.

Except water, all aquatic plants and flower arrangements have the function of promoting wealth, as long as they are placed near the gate. The stress on the threshold originally refers to the crossbar under the door. There must be a threshold in front of a traditional house in China. People have to cross the threshold when entering or leaving the gate, which plays a role in buffering the pace and blocking external forces. In ancient times, the threshold was knee-high Nowadays, the threshold is not so high, only about one inch. In addition to being made of wood, it is also made of long and narrow stone strips, which are fixed on the ground between the iron gate and the gate.

The threshold also clearly separates the house from the outside world. At the same time, the threshold can not only prevent wind and dust, but also keep all kinds of reptiles out, which has great practical value, plays a certain role in blocking external unfavorable factors and preventing the leakage of wealth, and is of great significance to residential feng shui. When placing the threshold, it should be noted that the color of the threshold should match the color of the gate, and the threshold will break like a beam in the house, which is the culprit. If the threshold is full, the house will be smooth, and if it is missing, it will be delayed. Therefore, if the threshold is broken, it must be replaced as soon as possible.
