Determining whether a house is a house is actually setting the orientation of the house in geomantic omen. This is a very important feng shui operation, because it is usually used to transport the astrolabe out of the house and then analyze the good and bad luck in all directions in the house. If you sit in the wrong direction, it may be a big mistake to arrange the game according to the analysis of the astrolabe.
What house did you mention? It is a term of geomantic omen in Hachiya, a very popular school in the past, mainly because it is eager to learn.
Because the geomantic omen of Bazhai only divides the 360-degree week into eight main directions, named after the gossip and the sitting party, just like the name of Zhai Zhen. The earthquake palace means sitting in earthquake divination, and the earthquake is in the East.
In the past, the structure of the house was relatively simple and unified, and most of them sat facing south, with courtyard doors and gates in the south, so the geomantic omen of Bazhai also had a door-oriented view, that is to say, the direction of the gate was sitting in the middle, while the opposite side of the gate was sitting on the side, so the gate faced west, that is, sitting in the earthquake house from east to west. Therefore, in the previous actual situation, it was generally not wrong to take the door as the direction.
However, today's house structure is very different from before. In the previous house, the lighting mainly depended on the gate and the patio in front of it. In front of the gate, the direction of lighting was the most, that is, the sun was the direction, the light belonged to the sun, and the darkness belonged to the yin.
This yang-oriented feng shui principle is also applicable to today's houses.
Rural houses still take the gate as an important lighting direction, so rural houses can still take the door as the direction.
But in the city, outside the gate, it is generally just a dark corridor, which has lost the function of lighting. If we still take the door as the direction, it would be a big mistake. And now the door orientation can be completely changed (understand the difference between orientation and direction). It is not difficult to change the direction of the door in the same direction. If the door is really facing, feng shui is not easy to change, of course not.
In cities, the lighting function of houses has been generally replaced by balconies or windows. If the sun is the direction, it should face the balcony or window (the side with the most windows).
In addition to taking the sun as the direction, there are also people sitting in the local direction in Feng Shui, that is, there are mountains, water and water. If there are real mountains and water near the house, you should sit in the direction of the landscape first, and then look at the door of the house and the window of the balcony to divide it. In fact, the landscape orientation is also a kind of yang orientation, because the mountain belongs to yin and the water belongs to yang.
The most important thing about Eight Houses Feng Shui is that the house is divided into Eight Houses, so the life is also divided into Eight Lives, which forms something unique to Eight Houses Feng Shui: four houses with four lives.
The four lives of the East and West are the divination of human life, which can be calculated according to the formula and the year of birth. The formulas of male life and female life are different.
The geomantic omen of Bazhai is also one of the orthodox geomantic omen, but it is too simplistic, and time is not included as an important factor in its analysis, so it is gradually ignored and replaced by the geomantic omen of mysterious flying stars and mysterious divination school. Of course, there are many other different sects, such as three-in-one Feng Shui, which is still very popular.
