I don’t know if you know about businessmen, but many businessmen, especially those with large businesses, often pay great attention to Feng Shui in their lives and work. According to their understanding, can rely on Feng Shui to make its business stronger and bigger.
Nowadays, many of us think that Feng Shui is a feudal superstition, but in ancient times, Feng Shui was a very important existence in people's hearts, ranging from princes and generals, emperors throughout the ages, to ordinary people, and families...
In fact, Feng Shui does not have Many people think it is so mysterious. Many mantras or sayings left by our ancestors reflect the ancient people's view of Feng Shui. "A house with five real people will be rich, and a family with five imaginary wealth will be ruined." This saying is quite representative.
"Five Realities"? "Five virtual"?
In the eyes of the ancients, family or one's residence is very important to a person's past, present and even future development and influence. It is precisely because the house is the place where a person can settle down and live his life, so the ancients had the saying of five realities and five virtualities.
If we want to understand this sentence thoroughly, then we need to figure out what are the "five realities" mentioned by the ancients? And what are the so-called "five virtualities"? Let's take a look below.
Five real meanings:
One: Don’t live in a big house if there are few people.
Second: The scale of house construction should match the size of the courtyard.
Third: The ratio of the gate construction to the size of the house should be small.
Fourth: The layout of the stove and well in the courtyard should be reasonable.
Fifth: The courtyard wall must be complete and beautiful.
The above five points are the five real things referred to in the ancient saying, "If a house has five real things, a person will be rich, but if a family has five weak things, the wealth will be ruined." The five real things are exactly opposite to the five real things, and they mean exactly the opposite.
The five virtual things refer to:
One: The house is big but there are few people living there.
Second: The house has a large door but few bedrooms.
Third: The house wall is incomplete.
No. 4: The location of the stove well is wrong.
Fifth: The courtyard is large but the building area is small.
The above five points are what the five emptinesses refer to. These five realities and the five emptinesses are relative. Once this courtyard occupies one point among the five realities or five emptinesses, the opposite point will cease to exist.
However, the relative five realities and five virtualities are not static. They will change with changes in subjective and objective factors. Therefore, when the ancients repaired the house, the builder needed to coordinate the layout and take all aspects into consideration. The skill requirements of the craftsmen are very high.
Next, let’s talk about how the standards summarized by the ancients in building houses came from. What practical effect did they have on summarizing these key points with so much trouble?
People cannot live in big houses.
The ancients believed that if there were only a few people in the house, they should try not to live in a house that was too large, otherwise it would affect the residents.
Over time, the loneliness and loneliness generated in a large empty house will be detrimental to the residents, and any problems in the house cannot be discovered in time.
If there are few people, choose a house with a relatively small area to live in. Firstly, it is easier to clean and manage the house. Secondly, problems in the house can be discovered in time, and it will be warmer and safer to live in. , there will be less loneliness.
When there are few people, we live in small houses. In daily life, it can also promote communication among family members, ease conflicts at home, bring wealth and blessings to the family, and benefit the physical and mental health of the residents.
Construction guidelines for house door size
The ancients attached great importance to wealth and luck, which was fully reflected in building houses and land. When building a house, you cannot make the gate of the house too big, nor build the house in the yard too small. In short, you need a large door and cabin.
The ancients believed that the size of the house they lived in should be comparable to the door of their own house. If the house is small and the house is large, it is easy to lose money, and wealth and blessings are easy to escape. Because the house is built in the shape of a trumpet, it is not easy to gather wealth and blessings.
No matter how big the house is, the door of the house needs to be relatively small. The house should be built into a cornucopia shape. This can be seen from the many ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties that have been preserved in China. It is considered a kind of house construction. unwritten rules.
This can still be seen in many rural areas today, and many rural houses only have one entrance door, and no more entrance doors are opened unless absolutely necessary.
The impact of whether the courtyard wall is incomplete
The completeness of the courtyard wall is also an important factor affecting the feng shui of the courtyard. A built house usually uses the courtyard wall as the dividing line to separate the courtyard from the outside world. The courtyard wall plays many roles, including beautifying the courtyard, preventing theft, etc.
Of course, if the courtyard wall has not been repaired for a long time, or has not been fully constructed, resulting in damage and incompleteness, such a courtyard is easy to be stolen. Moreover, in terms of overall beauty, the courtyard is incomplete, which affects the financial luck of the residents.
Chinese people pay attention to having an inside and an exterior, and the courtyard wall is the exterior of your home. The courtyard walls that are repaired in time will give people a solemn and rigorous feeling. The sight of a dilapidated wall makes people subconsciously feel inferior. A good courtyard wall is just the opposite.
The location of stoves and wells is very particular.
Food is the most important thing for people. The ancients knew the importance of eating and drinking water a long time ago. They even compared eating and drinking water with the superior God. Its importance cannot be overstated. And metaphor. After all, eating and drinking are related to life and death.
In the house, the stove for cooking must not be built at will, especially not opposite the doors and windows. It needs to be built in a remote corner away from the main hall and sleeping quarters. This prevents smoke from building up and makes it look fresh to outsiders.
The same is true for the location of water wells. It cannot be built directly opposite the main hall. Moreover, during the process of building wells, it is also necessary to try to avoid livestock sheds . Even if livestock drink water, there is no way around it. It must be avoided as much as possible. Water quality is polluted.
The land area of the courtyard and the number of houses are also important.
Generally speaking, a house with a large house needs more houses to support the facade, while a house with a small yard should build fewer houses. This kind of planning and attention to can make your house look more symmetrical and coordinated.
will not cause the yard to waste space, nor will the yard be too small and appear crowded. It can not only make reasonable use of the house area, but also ensure the beauty and unity of the house to the greatest extent.
Conclusion
Many of the ideas of the ancients are related to the unknown fantasy and superstition in their world. However, if you take a closer look, you will find that the existence of these rules and dogma is not without its rationality, but can also have scientific explanations. The profound meaning needs to be savored carefully to understand.
"A house with five real people will be rich, and a family with five empty wealth will be ruined." This sentence has a certain truth through argumentation, and it is not groundless. So what kind of house do we live in?
