What are the "porch" and "screen" in Feng Shui?

The entrance is a buffer zone between the door and the living room, which plays a basic role in covering up. In the living room, you will feel much safer and not afraid of privacy exposure. If the gate faces northwest or due north, and it is often attacked by cold wind in winter, it is even more necessary to use the porch to cover it. Houses close to the ground are often easily penetrated by strong winds and dust outside. Setting the porch can prevent wind and dust and keep the room warm and clean. The porch also has certain functions. Generally, the ceiling should not be too high, and the ceiling is relatively low, with a height dimension of 2.5~2.57 meters and 2.62~2.65 meters. If the ceiling of the porch is too low, there will be a sense of oppression, which is an ominous sign, symbolizing that the family is oppressed and it is difficult to have a future. If the ceiling is high, the air circulation in the porch will be more comfortable, which is also of great benefit to the gas transportation in the house. If the color of smallpox is darker than the floor and the top is heavier than the bottom, it is not only unsightly, but also symbolizes the disorder of the order of young and old, and the ups and downs are uncoordinated. The color of the ceiling is lighter than the floor, and the top is lighter than the bottom, which is a more reasonable pattern. The lower part of the porch should be mainly made of brick walls or wooden boards, which is solid and steady, and the upper part can be decorated with glass, which is transparent without leakage, which is very ideal. It is recommended to use frosted glass, which is both beautiful and practical. The entrance is the main access to the residence, and the air flow is unimpeded when the walls and floors are smooth. If you use protruding stones for decoration, it will be uneven, and there will be many obstacles in housing traffic, so you must try to avoid them. The flat ground can make the house transport smoothly and avoid falling and wrestling. At the same time, the floor of the porch should be kept as flat as possible, and there should be no difference between high and low.
