The Twelve Hairpins of Jinling is a character cross-stitch, so it is not suitable to be hung in the living room. Cross-stitch suitable for the living room should be content such as calligraphy of flowers, birds, and fish.
You can hang these calligraphy and paintings in the living room:
1. Peony pictures and calligraphy: The national flower peony has always been loved by everyone because it means wealth and auspiciousness. However, it is common to display peony pictures at home. You can choose between the north and the south, because peonies belong to wood, and the north is the "water" land in Kanyu, so trees grow in water and thrive.
The south is the land of "fire", and taking wood to make fire is a symbol of prosperity. This layout has promoted the nine purple fortune stars in Feng Shui in the past two decades; because the west is "gold", wood should not be used. Gold overcomes it, so peony pictures are generally not suitable to be placed in the West. Peonies symbolize wealth, beauty, prosperity, etc., and are suitable for hanging in the living room and bedroom.
2. Picture of an eagle spreading its wings: An eagle spreading its wings is usually hung in the study room and living room, which represents a long journey, great ambitions, and high aspirations. However, special attention should be paid to the eagle behind the painting. The "mouth" should not be facing the person's head, so it is generally not suitable to hang on sofas or seats.
3. Calligraphy and painting of fishes playing in water: Guangdong custom regards "water" as wealth, and fish have the auspicious meaning of having more than enough year after year, so pictures of Pisces playing in water and pictures of nine fishes are most suitable for placement. The main entrance of the living room is 45 degrees away from the "financial position" of the dime, which means "wealth".
4. Calligraphy: The most common use of calligraphy in Feng Shui is to block "door evil". For example, if the door is facing the bedroom, it is said that it is disadvantageous to have the door facing the room because the door is open. The rapid airflow formed by closing the door will "rush" straight into the room. In this case, you can hang calligraphy on the door.
5. Smooth sailing calligraphy and painting: Also due to the principle of the five elements being in conflict, it is not suitable to be hung in the south. In addition, it must be noted that the waves under the sailboat cannot be directed towards the doors and windows.
