The word "Feng Shui" comes from the Book of Changes. Some people think that geomantic omen is a superstitious view of people in feudal times, while others claim that geomantic omen is a traditional science in China that combines comprehensive knowledge of environment and geography.
No matter how you understand it, various opinions about "home improvement feng shui" have been passed down from mouth to mouth.
There is also a saying that "the bed depends on two walls, and the family suffers from diseases." What are the two walls here? What is the truth of this statement?
Common sayings related to "bed"
The relationship between bed and people has always been very close. Judging from the sleep time, people spend nearly one-third of their life in bed.
In Shuo Wen Jie Zi, the word "bed" is interpreted as "several places to sit." In other words, a bed is a kind of furniture for people to recuperate and adjust their own state.
For thousands of years, people have summed up a lot of experience about the placement of beds at home. We can find that these statements also contain the wisdom of working people.
First of all, the most common saying is "Don't put the bed in front of the mirror", which contains a simple truth.
Because people are often the most relaxed when they sleep, if they get up in the middle of the night or get sleepy and look in the mirror, they will be easily frightened by what they see in the mirror at first sight, which will easily hurt Shen Yuan.
Then there is the saying that "the bed should not be placed directly in front of the door", that is, the saying that "the movement should be large".
As a place to sleep, a bed pays attention to a quiet and relaxed environment. However, there will be dynamic airflow between the entrance and exit of the door switch, which is inconsistent with the quiet atmosphere needed for sleep.
The other is to pay attention to "the placement of the bedside is unreliable and empty", which is the view of Feng Shui. As the saying goes, we should pay attention to "relying on mountains to eat mountains" and the bedside should not be empty. It is best to be close to the wall or other physical objects, so that "people have a backer" and everything is settled.
In other words, in the course of thousands of years of civilization in China, "bed" has always been an essential household item.
No matter whether the family is rich or poor, there will be a bed to sleep in, so it is natural to know something about the placement of the bed.
Stay away from the wall by the window.
The ancients said: "The bed is on two walls, and the family suffers from diseases." The first wall refers to the wall near the window.
This is because most of the ancient windows were designed with wooden hollows. In order to cover up privacy, a layer of window paper was put on the edge of the window to cover one or two.
In ancient times when there was no glass, the common materials for pasting windows were paper, yarn or silk. Window paper, which is very common in TV series, used to be the most common raw material for pasting windows. It can only block the line of sight, but it can't block the wind and rain.
Fan Chengda, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote in "Early Autumn" that "a shower passes through paper, and a new cool vine grows." This paper thin enough is really hard to resist the storm.
Therefore, if the bedside is placed under the window, the wind that slips in from the window edge will go straight to the forehead, which will easily lead to diseases such as wind chill and migraine. In ancient times when the medical level was underdeveloped, it will easily lead to more serious consequences.
Moreover, if you need to open the window to enjoy the cool in midsummer, the wind outside the window will pounce on the people on the bed more unscrupulously, and the possibility of wind invasion will be aggravated between cold and hot.
Even in modern society, windows made of glass have already replaced paper windows, but people still advocate that the bedside should not be placed under the window.
This is because in order to achieve good lighting, most windows are facing the street. Although this avoids the blocking of light by tall buildings, it also brings another trouble, that is, noise and road dust.
Streets and roads are generally busy. If the bedside is next to the window, the noisy environment will affect the quality of sleep.
Moreover, it is difficult to avoid the impact of automobile exhaust or dust when opening the window and being exposed to the wind, which will affect human health.
Avoid the bed near the dirty wall.
The other wall is the "wall of filth", that is, the wall of the bathroom.
In the past, toilets were mostly "dry toilets", and the smell was inevitably unpleasant after a long time. But in ancient times, houses were mostly adobe bricks, and the walls of houses were not well closed.
If the bedside is placed on the wall of the toilet, the unpleasant smell will slip into people's noses, which will naturally affect people's sleep quality.
We all know that mosquitoes are rampant in summer, and the disturbing buzz greatly affects the quality of sleep. Moreover, the accumulation of dirt in toilets is easy to breed mosquitoes, ants and animals, which greatly affects people's sleep quality.
Lack of a good sleeping environment will naturally lead to people's listlessness and drowsiness during the day. In the long run, it will lead to the possibility of illness and disaster.
Moreover, mosquitoes, flies and mice carrying a large number of unclean bacteria are easily transmitted to people separated by a wall, which will also pose a threat to people's health.
Although there are few dry toilets in modern society, even so, it is best not to put the bedside next to the bathroom wall.
First, as a place for daily washing, bathrooms are mostly closed and damp, and moisture will exist for a long time.
If the bed is placed next to the bathroom wall, moisture can easily invade the body for a long time, which is very easy to cause the accumulation of moisture in the body.
If moisture only stays on the surface of the body, it is only itchy skin, and eczema will occasionally appear. However, if you sleep in a humid environment for a long time and moisture enters your body, you are prone to rheumatism and joint pain, especially in rainy weather.
The second point is also related to the sleeping environment. In modern home decoration, drainage pipes are usually installed in bathrooms. Although there will be noise reduction devices, the sound transmission effect of solids such as walls is more obvious than that of gases.
Therefore, for people with shallow sleep, sleeping by the bathroom wall at night will inevitably be awakened by the noise of sewers upstairs and downstairs.
Or the elderly at home use the bathroom at night. This seemingly ordinary voice is magnified countless times in the silence of the night. Coupled with the sound reinforcement function of the wall, it becomes more and more clear and audible, which will also interfere with the quality of sleep to a certain extent, thus affecting health.
Therefore, people have summed up the saying that the bedside is against the bathroom wall, which is also prone to disasters.
In fact, proverbs are not necessarily the remnants of feudal superstition. For example, "It rained before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, and pea wheat won the lottery" and "Long rain makes noise, long rain makes noise". Many famous proverbs are the crystallization of the wisdom of working people.
The same is true of the sentence "the bed depends on two walls, and the family suffers from disease". People use catchy language to express the accumulated experience in life and convey a kind of life wisdom.
