Speaking of Spring Festival geomantic omen

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation. On this day, the streets are decorated with lanterns to celebrate the arrival of the Spring Festival. Many people will hang lanterns at home, which will make the atmosphere at home more festive. But lanterns at home should not be hung at will, so what are the feng shui taboos for hanging lanterns at home during the Spring Festival? Let me tell you something about this problem.

Symmetry, hanging south and not hanging north

Hanging lanterns at home must be symmetrical, and both the height and the distance of lanterns must be in a moderate state. Let's not talk about feng shui. From an aesthetic point of view, asymmetry is also unsightly. Hanging red lanterns generally needs to be hung in the south, east or west, but it is forbidden to hang them in the north, because the water in the north is unlucky. Besides, most houses now face south. When winter comes, it's overcast to the extreme. Hanging lanterns on both sides of the south-facing gate can supplement the spirit of the sun.

Must be an even number.

There has been a saying of yes-men since ancient times, so even numbers are equally important for hanging lanterns in the New Year. No matter the lanterns hung at the gate or on the balcony, they must be counted as even numbers. Some old people say that hanging only a few lanterns will affect the feelings of family members. Red lanterns should be hung on both sides of the gate. If it is hung in the middle, it will block the air inlet, which is not conducive to the inflow of money into the house, and also prevents the suffocation from being discharged. The suspension position should not be too low, which will affect the line of sight and traffic. If the door is bigger, you can choose a bigger lantern. As for the height of lanterns, they can be hung on the top of the door, not too low.

Touch the lights after the Lantern Festival

Choose a suitable time to hang lanterns during the Spring Festival. Usually, I suggest you hang lanterns on New Year's Eve, but you can't hang them all the time after the Lantern Festival. Touching lanterns after the Lantern Festival ruined them after the 15th day of the first month. In the past, candles were lit in lanterns, but after the fifteenth day of the first month, two lanterns collided and were destroyed. Nowadays lanterns are all powered by electricity, so there is no need to touch them. Put them in a clean bag and throw them away. Although many people wait until the lantern is broken, it is not recommended.
