Stand by and open the door
In ancient times, the door was the most common method. Most ancient houses and buildings are only one or two stories high. Usually the gate faces the streets, open spaces, ponds and other terrain, and the whole building takes the gate as the central axis. In this case, the door should stand.
In modern society, urban housing is built higher and higher. In a dense house, the doors of the rooms are all in a corridor. This situation gradually disappeared from the door of urban housing. But in many villas, farmhouses, buildings and factories, doors are still the main orientation. Even in some villages and towns with archways, under appropriate circumstances, you can take the archways at the entrances and exits of the whole area as the direction.
If your home is a villa-style house, or a courtyard-style house with a street front door, then the orientation of your home will be bound by the legislation of the door.
Standing in the air
A well-designed block will have a large area of open space for residents to activities; A perfect residential community, there will be a garden and a sports ground in the middle of the community; Known as Tang Ming in Feng Shui, these open spaces are good places to gather wealth and prosperity. If the living room, balcony and most windows of your house face Tang Ming, then your house should face Tang Ming. This method is called empty legislation. Houses that live below five floors can often face the hall and stand in the air; In recent ten years, we have seen many large and perfect buildings with 20-30 floors. However, because of the large area, there is a huge hall in the middle of the community. There are children's parks, lawns, swimming pools and other living facilities in the hall, so that the house with about 20 floors can face the hall in the middle of the community, and the scenery is still very good.
Stand by and watch the sun
Yang legislation is the most commonly used vertical method in household survey. When your house is located in a high-rise building in the city, living in more than five floors, and not facing the open space, it is likely that Yang legislation will apply to your home. The word "Yang" here really refers to sunlight, but it is not the direction that can penetrate the strongest light, and either side can be defined as the direction; More importantly, the size of the air inlet and the number of windows. Because feng shui qi is material, opening the window can really welcome it. A well-designed modern suite often has two or three sides of lighting. At this time, it is not practical to orient by light. The formal method should be to face the wall with the most windows in the whole house.
Erect with water
In Feng Shui theory, Qi is a kind of energy from nature, which has different functions in different environments and directions. Sometimes the effect is good, so-called good luck; Sometimes this is a bad result, called Sha Qi. Qi will advance with the mountain, and it will disperse when it moves to an empty and windy place; If qi moves to the river or where there is water, it will stop moving and gather on the shore. Where people gather together, it is often a place suitable for people to live. The "wind dispersing and water stopping" mentioned in ancient Feng Shui works refers to the above characteristics.
When the house is built by the river, or facing the lake, pond, swimming pool, etc. And no other orientation conditions are added, so the water side can be considered as the orientation. For example, if the pond is close to the east of the house, it can be said that the house is in the east.
In urban geomantic omen, buildings are mountains, roads are water, and qi stops when it reaches the side of the road. In other words, if our house faces the road, we can use water legislation to determine the direction of this house without other direction conditions.
Stand in the direction of imagination
This orientation method is indeed a little innocent, but it still happens from time to time in modern architecture.
When the buildings in a village or residential area are too dense, the buildings will be close together, so that the ground can't be seen downwards and the sky can't be seen upwards. Open the window and you will find all the neighbors' windows. Open the door and you will find narrow alleys and corridors. The last window or two has a little prospect, and it is also a vertical narrow gap between tall buildings. The problem is that this kind of narrow gap can't be used for orientation, because this kind of vertical narrow gap between buildings is a kind of evil spirit in geomantic omen, which is called "cutting evil spirits" and has a bad influence on people's health, so it can't be used for vertical orientation. Under the above circumstances, we must use virtual legislation to guide.
Virtual legislation takes the direction of the village, community and curtilage where the house is located as the orientation, such as the direction of the main road in and out of the village, the direction of the gate of the community, the direction of the main open space towards the curtilage village, the street nearest to the block where the house is located, etc., which can all be regarded as the orientation of virtual standing.
