Why? Because the sofa is the place where people sit, the back of the sofa belongs to the backer in the traditional easy learning. The backer should be stable, and people should rely on it to have a sense of security and sureness. However, the impermanence of water has the property of feminine flow, and taking the fish tank as the "backing" means instability. But it can be placed next to the sofa, because if it is a square fish tank, it has the appearance of surrounding the sofa, which conforms to the traditional definition of "left and right stalemate" and is mostly considered auspicious.
2. Fish tanks can be used as partitions.
According to the traditional Yijing geomantic theory, "water" has the function of bounded qi. For example, in some modern families, if there is an odor anywhere in the house, they often put a basin of water, and active water molecules can absorb the odor. This form can be regarded as a function of "boundary gas". It is based on the view that water energy is "boundary gas" that some households put fish tanks at the junction of the porch and the living room, and there are often fish tanks at the entrance three meters or next to the shoe cabinet. And some homes, because there is no obvious boundary between the dark light and the living room, use fish tanks as partitions, so that the feng shui line that enters the door becomes flowing, tortuous and affectionate, rather than going straight to the end. This application has secretly coincided with the function of the fish tank, that is, adjusting the "feng shui" relationship between the porch and the living room mentioned above.
3. The fish tank should be placed in an unlucky place.
There has always been a view in the Book of Changes Feng Shui that "where there is water, there is land, and where there is no water, there is no land". At the same time, there is a cloud: "the method of feng shui, water is the best." Why is this? Because "fish tank" not only represents wealth and has the function of home decoration, but also has the function of "cleaning". According to ancient laws, fish tanks can be placed in unlucky positions. The ancients called it "collecting evil spirits" and the author called it "purity". No one is perfect, and there is no house in America. That ugly place can be used to put fish tanks.
4. Where should I avoid putting fish tanks?
First of all, you can't face the stove. The stove belongs to the nature of "fire" in Yijing Fengshui. The fish tank is water, which will cause fire and water to shoot each other. The ancients thought it was unlucky, which would lead to eye diseases and dry tongue. Secondly, the fish tank cannot be placed under the deity. The deity is "fire" in the Book of Changes and Feng Shui, and is sometimes regarded as "man and career". Putting the fish tank under the deity has formed the "incompatibility" in the sixty-four hexagrams. The divination meaning of unaided divination is roughly "the upper and lower parts are impassable, and the yin and yang are unbalanced", while the geomantic view holds that it belongs to "unfinished business" with basically the same meaning. As the saying goes, "the fire fell, the fire overwhelmed the water potential, and the fire was not put out, so it was useless." Although some people in modern times generally know that fish tanks can't be placed under immortals, few people can tell the truth. The above is the most correct explanation. Finally, the fish tank should not be placed above the head, otherwise it is unlucky, which means "water has no roof", which was called "shower head water" in ancient times. The traditional Yijing geomantic omen thinks that it will cause diseases, so it is suggested that the height of the fish tank should not exceed the head of an adult.
