Some people may feel that some of these methods are suitable for their own use, while others are not. This is also because the methods used are different, the theories are different, and the natural results are different. Follow every teacher's rules, and practice is enough.
A lateral positioning method
In feng shui, mountains and rivers refer to and represent a wide range of things, not just peaks as mountains, but flowing water as water.
The following things are classified as mountains in Feng Shui:
Quiet things, such as mountains, beds, wardrobes; Towering things, such as tall buildings, houses, electric racks and trees; Site height, such as high slopes, highlands, walls,
The following things are classified as water in Feng Shui:
Things that move and flow, such as streets, running water, rivers, ponds, oceans, lakes and fountains; Depression, emptiness, depression.
Where there is water, the way to set the orientation of mountains and rivers is to sit with the mountains and take water as the orientation. This method is also called the high-low fixed sitting orientation method in some Feng Shui books. For example, there is a mountain behind the house and water in front, so take the mountain as the seat and the water as the direction.
Another example is a road and street next to this building. High-rise buildings belong to mountains, while roads and streets belong to water, so we can be sure that this building is sitting on the side of the building, facing the street. There are houses on both sides of the road, and tall buildings behind them. Regularly speaking, the road is the direction and the back is the seat.
Positioning method of double-door fixed sitting posture
Where is the gate, the sitting direction depends on this gate. This sitting method is called sitting method with door. It is a traditional method to determine the sitting direction of the gate, but there are many ways to get the sitting direction. Some feng shui masters use compasses to measure the threshold, some pull the palace line, and some pull the line from the outer wall. Modern feng shui masters usually stand outside the gate, pointing to the parallel line between the compass plane and the gate. There is only one gate in an ancient building, and it is very simple to use it to determine the sitting position. Modern architecture is different. There are many two doors and three doors. How to use the door-sitting orientation method at this time? Modern feng shui masters deal with it like this:
1, the door has a size. Because the gate is bigger than the small gate, the sitting direction is determined by the gate instead of the small gate.
The space in front of the door is narrow and wide. The wide air intake is large, and the narrow air intake is small, so the sitting direction is determined by the door opening.
Three-window orientation method
Orientation by the window, also known as Yang-based sitting orientation, has existed since ancient times and started in the world today. Among many geomantic omen, flying stars in the sky are particularly important for determining the orientation of sitting.
The window orientation method is like this: one side of the villa window is facing, and the other side is sitting. In geomantic omen, the interior is yin and the exterior is yang. The function of the window is to introduce outside light and air, which is why some feng shui scholars call it the method of sitting in the sun. With more windows, there will definitely be more sun be the spirit outside, which will naturally have a great impact on the villa. This is the principle of setting the direction of the window.
It is said that the window orientation method is more scientific, and many modern geomancers use this method to determine the orientation of villas with complex designs. This method of determining the orientation of the villa has been popular until today. With the progress of the times, feng shui will also progress. The window orientation method is the product of the times.
Fourth, the sitting method
The method of determining sitting posture by using the lobby of a house or building is called sitting posture method by the lobby. The principle of sitting orientation method is that "Qi" in geomantic omen refers to sunlight, air, magnetic field and so on. Feng Shui believes that once qi gathers, it can act on people, but it will not gather, but will dissipate, so people can't feel it. In a house, the lobby is the largest and most open space, and in a natural house, the gas collected by the lobby is also the largest, which plays a leading role in the whole house. Therefore, only by the direction of sitting in the classroom can we know the direction of the gas that determines the fate of the house.
The sitting orientation method based on the hall is not a sitting orientation method alone, but must be used together with the door sitting orientation method and the window sitting orientation method. The specific rules of sitting orientation method are as follows:
1. If the house has multiple halls, the largest hall will be used.
2. There are doors and windows with air inlet in the hall, and the sitting direction is generally determined by the door.
3, the hall window is wider than the door, it depends:
(a) the space outside the window is larger than the space outside the gate, and the sitting direction is determined by the window.
(b) The space outside the window is smaller than that outside the gate, and the sitting direction is determined by the gate.
Sitting in the hall method, like sitting in the window method, is the product of modern geomantic omen, and no ancient books have been found. The birth of these two methods also marks the continuous progress of Feng Shui.
Five-light and dark orientation method
Sit in the dark and face the light.
When the dark place does not correspond to the bright place, just like the house in the east, the south is the brightest place. At this time, no matter where it is dark, we will use a bright place and set the house to face south.
If there are two or even three lights, compare the lights, take the brightest side as the direction, omit the places that are not bright enough, or look at the places where it comes, see their openness, and take the most open place as the direction.
Six-balcony sitting orientation method
Balcony is the place where the house welcomes air into the house. The location of the balcony will welcome air into the house, which has a great impact on the house. According to this, some feng shui masters created the balcony sitting method, that is, where the balcony is, take that side as the direction.
What if there are two balconies? Take the biggest one, not the small one. What if two balconies are about the same size? Look at those two balconies. The one in front of them is the most open, and it depends on the most open one.
Seventh, the sitting position method is determined by qi.
The method of determining the sitting posture by qi is to determine the sitting posture by looking at the direction of qi in the anterior pulse. The method is: look at the direction of the pulse airflow in front, that is, take this direction. This method is only applicable to yin houses and yang houses standing by mountains in mountainous areas.
"Authentic Geography" Xiao has a formula:
Why do you ask others? You must take the front lip and the back pillow. Also want to be upright, the realm is not bad.
In a villa standing by a mountain, there must be air flowing out of the lip of the mountain in front, so you can sit in the right direction according to the air flowing out of the lip.
