Welcome to the artistic world of the painter Shen Qiankun.
The central painting "Loyalty, Filial Piety, Righteousness and Courage to the Great General"
1. The most taboo for sofas in the living room is "a set and a half", or two sets of sofas in a square and circular shape:
The shape of the sofa can be divided into single sofa, Double sofas, long sofas, curved and round sofas, etc. In terms of materials, they are also divided into leather sofas, cloth sofas, Teng sofas and traditional rosewood chairs. In terms of colors and shapes, they are even more varied. Many. The number of sofa sets in the living room is particular. It is most taboo to use one and a half sets, or two sets of sofas in a radius. The sofa must be placed in an auspicious direction of the house - because the sofa is where the whole family sits and sleeps every day, it can be said to be the focus of the family. If it is placed in an auspicious direction, the family, old and young, can absorb the prosperity of this direction, and the whole family will be healthy. . But if it is placed in an unlucky position, the whole family will suffer harm, and the family will be uneasy. For dongsizhai, the sofa should be placed in the four auspicious directions of due east, southeast, due south and due north of the living room. For the West Fourth House, the sofa should be placed in the four auspicious directions of southwest, due west, northwest and northeast of the living room. If we divide it more carefully, although they are both East Four Houses, they can be divided into East, Southeast, South and North; and they are both West Four Houses, but they can be divided into Southwest, West, Northwest and Northeast. .
2. There should be a "back" behind the sofa:
The so-called "back", that is, a backer, means that there is a solid wall behind the sofa that is reliable and has no worries. This is in line with Feng Shui. The chairs used in the palace in the previous dynasty were all made of natural marble as the back, and the pattern on it was better to have a faint mountain view. This is the reason. If there are windows, doors and passages behind the sofa, and there is no solid wall to rely on, it means that there is no backing behind, and it is empty, which is a situation of leakage and it is difficult to prosper and prosper. And from a psychological point of view, there is no space behind the sofa, and there is a lack of sense of security. As the ancients said, "the eyes can see in six directions, and the ears can listen in all directions." Because the latter two paths cannot be observed, if there is a door or passage behind the sofa, you have to worry about being attacked from behind. It is better to sit with your back against a solid wall and feel at ease. Taking a step back, if there is really no reliable solid wall behind the sofa, a more effective workaround is to place a low cabinet or screen behind the sofa. This can be called an "artificial backer" and will also play a remedial role. But one thing we must pay attention to is that there should be no water behind the sofa, so placing the fish tank behind the sofa is a Feng Shui taboo. In the same way, it is not appropriate to place water-based decorations such as fish tanks and feng shui wheels on the low cabinet behind the sofa. Of course, it would be beneficial if evergreen plants were used to fill the space behind a sofa with no backrest.
3. There should be no beams on the sofa:
If the bed has beams on the top, only one or two people sleeping on the bed will be affected. However, if there are beams on the sofa, the whole family will be affected. The impact is huge, so it must be try to avoid. If it is really unavoidable, you can place two pots of lucky bamboo on the coffee table on both sides of the sofa, and use the lucky bamboos that are constantly growing and rising step by step to bear the weight of the beam.
4. The sofa cannot face the door directly:
If the sofa is in a straight line with the door, it is called "hedge" in Feng Shui, which has great disadvantages and will lead to the loss of family members and scattered wealth. In this case, it is best to move the sofa so as not to collide with the door. If there is nowhere to move it, then you have to place a screen between the two. In this way, the air flowing into the house from the door will be blocked. You will not rush straight to the sofa, your family will not be separated and you can get together, and your wealth will not be leaked. If the sofa faces the door, there is no serious problem. There is no need to dodge left and right, and there is no need to place a screen to resolve it.
5. The sofa furnishings should be curved rather than straight:
The important position of the sofa in the living room is like the main port of the country. It must be able to absorb as much water as possible in order to thrive.A good port must have protruding bends on both sides, shaped like the U-shape of the English alphabet. The protruding bends are like two arms holding and hugging the port, and the central depression is the air receiving position of Feng Shui, which can hide the wind. Qi, in order to achieve prosperity of both Ding and wealth. The furnishings of the sofa should also be like an advanced harbor, with arms stretched out on both sides. If the sofas are in a straight row, it will be like a strong man with a broken arm, unable to achieve anything. Although some ports are missing an arm and cannot be protected from the left and right, as long as there is a bend at the place where the water flows to embrace the opposite direction, which is called "Xiaguan Sand" in Feng Shui, you can also have children and make a fortune. If the sofa cannot be supported by arms on the left and right due to environmental constraints, then the next best thing is to place another sofa at the water level and make homemade "Xiaguan sand" to welcome the water flowing in from the gate, forming a water gathering situation. It is also in line with Feng Shui. The main door of some houses is diagonal to the balcony door. In addition to setting up the entrance hall, it is also necessary to place "Xiaguan sand" at the water outlet to receive the incoming water and prevent the water flowing in from the main door from leaking out.
6. It is best not to have direct lights on the top of the sofa:
Sometimes the light in the sofa area is weak, and many people will install lighting on the top of the sofa, such as downlights hidden in the ceiling or exposed spotlights, etc., because it is too Approaching the sofa often results in direct sunlight coming down from the top of the head, which is against Feng Shui and should be avoided as much as possible. And from the perspective of environmental design, direct light shining above the head of the sofa often makes people nervous, dizzy, and restless. This can be somewhat alleviated if you redirect the light towards the wall.
Four screens of flowers and birds
7. Don’t enlarge the mirror behind the sofa:
Some people hang mirrors on the wall in order to make the living room look more transparent and spacious. In fact, according to Feng Shui, mirrors should not be hung casually because they have a reflective effect. There should not be a large mirror behind the sofa. When people sit on the sofa, others can clearly see the back of the person's head in the mirror, which is very bad. This will lead to loss of soul and restlessness.
