In ancient times, people polished gold, silver, copper and other metals to make mirrors. The more expensive the mirror, the more exquisite it is.
But in feng shui, although the mirror can ward off evil spirits, it must be placed in the right position. Otherwise, it will not only not ward off evil spirits, but also bring evil spirits. In the past, people often hung a mirror on the door, which became a magic mirror, both round and square. Later, many of them were gossip-oriented, and people thought that mirrors could be ghosts to show their true colors.
There are many stories about mirrors. For example, in A Dream of Red Mansions, it is written that Jia Rui was almost molested to death by Wang Xifeng and has been seriously ill. Later, a lame Taoist gave him a bronze mirror and told him to look only at the back, not at the front. Remember! At first, he respected the Taoist priest's advice and only looked at the back. After a long illness, I began to get better, but I looked at the front curiously and finally died. There are also many records about looking in the mirror in The Journey to the West. It can be seen that the ancients looked at the mirror strangely and paid more and more attention to it.
For example, the mirror can't be pointed at the front door of the house, because it will scare away the god of wealth and the door god, so there will be no god at home to protect peace and wealth. You can't point to the toilet either, because the toilet is a place where Yin qi gathers. Looking in the mirror will amplify yin qi and make couples quarrel easily. For another example, we can't look at the rest bed. The reason is simple. We are most relaxed when we have a rest. If we wake up in the middle of the night and go to the toilet to look in the mirror, we will be shocked, which is not conducive to rest and health. You can't look at the desk, because it will distract the learners and scare off the literary stars. You can't look at stoves, altars and so on.
Not only is there a saying that photogenic family business is not prosperous, but there is also a saying that photogenic family fights all day. So how can we crack these claims? It's actually quite simple. Curtain the mirror and open it when you use it. Cover it when not in use or simply put a gossip pattern on the mirror.
These statements are all due to the ancient people's wild guesses about some incomprehensible phenomena. But anyway, if you still believe everything, you won't believe it. As modern people, we should not be bound by these unscientific stresses of the ancients. Now we use mirrors more and more widely, such as children's favorite ha-ha mirror, ladies' cosmetic mirror ... If we measure our present lifestyle according to the behavior patterns and standards of the ancients, it will be out of date. Therefore, the prosperity of the family business depends on our own efforts and struggles, and has nothing to do with a mirror.
