Why should the house be square and not long and narrow?
Since ancient times, people in China have been deeply influenced by the concept of "the sky is round and the place is round". When building a house, no matter the exterior wall or the interior hall, most of them are square, steady and impartial.
In geomantic omen, Founder is the best place to live. That is to say, from the position directly above, the shape of the house is square or rectangular, with four sides without corners and symmetrical left and right, which is the most ideal shape of the house. If it is long and narrow or irregular, it is considered unlucky.
This is because, according to the principle of geomantic omen, the square residential shape can make the energy of qi flow in a balanced cycle without causing too much or too little harm, thus bringing good influence to the physical and mental health of the owner.
However, in a grotesque house with broken corners, the internal air will stagnate or flow irregularly, and the distribution of energy field will be uneven, which will affect the physical and mental health and daily life of the owner.
From a modern point of view, Founder's house is high in utility rate, so it is very convenient to place furniture, and the ventilation and lighting can easily meet the requirements.
During your stay, you will naturally feel comfortable, calm and harmonious.
In geomantic omen, it is emphasized that houses must be square. In the floor plan of 9,000 houses in the Forbidden City and the top ten gardens in Suzhou, it is found that except for some pavilions with special purposes, they and all the houses are squares except rectangles, and there are absolutely no three shapes!
Why does the house have to be square?
It turns out that there is a physical phenomenon: the ancients always said that "the sky is round and the place is round." We all know that the sky is shapeless and the earth is a sphere.
Why do our ancestors insist that the sky is round?
Do they lack the current scientific means and have no correct understanding of the earth? Looking through a lot of books and materials, I can't find a reasonable answer.
As we know, the main reason is that ancient productivity is very backward, that is, technology is very backward.
In ancient times, the range of human activities was very narrow. For example, now, if you fly by jet, you can reach Europe in ten hours and America in twenty hours.
In ancient times, people generally said that the range of activities was several hundred kilometers, or at most one or two thousand kilometers, which was very narrow.
So people think that the land is flat, unlike what we all know now, the land is spherical, and our earth is spherical, so it is completely a concept caused by ancient human intuition. This is the case in China.
So, are the sages of our country really so ignorant and ignorant? Of course not! As early as the Warring States period more than two thousand years ago, we had a clear understanding of this.
Chapter 67 of the fifth technique of Huangdi Neijing describes this: "The Emperor said: Is it possible for the land to be inferior?" Qi Bo said: The land is not as good as people, and it is too weak. The emperor said: Why? Qi Bo said: The atmosphere has also been lifted. "
The Yellow Emperor asked Zeebe: Is it raining? Qi Bo replied: The earth is at people's feet, but it exists in space. The Yellow Emperor asked again: Then why does it exist in space?
Qi Bo replied: There is an atmosphere (that is, suspended in the atmosphere). It can be seen that the ancients were not ignorant.
How do you explain "the sky is round"?
In fact, we should look at the problem flexibly. "The sky is round and the earth is round" is not discussed from the image, but from the meaning: circular objects have one characteristic-instability!
For example, a ball is always rolling around, and its route cannot be fixed. It can be seen that the "instability" of circular objects is consistent with the "instability" of the sky day and night, windy and rainy, and changeable.
Metonymy is a common language technique used by the ancients, so the ancients called the phenomenon of "changing" the sky "round" the sky. For thousands of years, the topography of the earth has not changed much. Mountain or that mountain, river or that river. Not much change.
This stability of the earth is very similar to the "stability" of a square, so the ancients called them "places" because they are similar.
