Part 1 The essence of the relative relationship between doors
The traditional Feng Shui theory is a house construction theory guided by the axial symmetry line position theory. All doors in the entire house are in symmetrical positions. That is to say, all doors must be relatively symmetrical and facing each other. Only when they are right can they be symmetrical.
This concept originates from the reflection, understanding and application of human aesthetics. The greatest external beauty of the human body lies in the beauty of symmetry, which is the most spiritual part of human body beauty. Various external organs of the human body are sutured single and centered, such as the nose, mouth, belly, navel, genitals, and anus of the excretory system... The sutures are symmetrical, such as eyes, ears, hands, feet, breasts, and fingers of both hands. , the fingers of the feet, the entire body structure of the human body... Based on the reflection, understanding and application of human aesthetics, house buildings under the guidance of traditional Feng Shui theory are all axially symmetrical house buildings with a median line.
House architecture under the guidance of symmetry theory emphasizes the ancestral shrines and lobby doors. These two important contents, emphasizing uniqueness, are both located on the symmetrical midline of the entire house's central axis. Under the guidance of this theory, the rest of the doors in the entire house are in relatively symmetrical positions. They are asymmetrical and not relative, which violates the rules of architectural Feng Shui theory. It can be seen that in traditional Feng Shui theory, the internal doors of a building structure are not taboo against each other.
The lobby door of traditional house construction is located on the symmetrical line of the central axis of the house, is called the central hall door. Due to the existence of ancestral shrines inside this kind of gate, it is true that there are strict taboos against such houses and doors in folk Feng Shui customs. Doors that are not on the central axis of symmetry of the house are called convenience doors. As the name suggests, convenience doors mean "convenient", "practical" and "easy to do". For houses with such convenience doors, Feng Shui views "convenient" and "practical" It is more precise to examine its function and significance of existence.
Complete houses built in urban communities are not guided by the theory of central axis symmetry. The orientation of the entrance door is based on "convenience" and "practicality" as the best orientation. If it does not comply with the principles of convenience and practicality, or even artificially adds obstacles and adds trouble, even if it is in compliance with certain rules in Feng Shui theory, it can only be regarded as "failed" and said to be "empty".
What is "empty"? The reality is that it is inconvenient, has no practical value and practical significance. A further meaning of loss and emptiness is "blank space". What is "blank"? That is, everything returns to zero. If everything returns to the original point "zero", then it will be impossible to receive blessings, receive wealth, become an official, become an official, have power...
Doors are opposite, and there is a difference between the internal doors of one's own house and the external doors of the neighborhood. External doors are opposite to those of neighbors and other idle buildings; external doors between neighbors are relatively easy to violate Feng Shui taboos. The door relationship inside one's own home refers to the door relationship inside the same complete building, including the door relationship between the entire set, the entire building, and the entire community. The inner doors are opposite to each other and are opposite to each other for symmetry. The properties are completely different. Doors inside a house will be asymmetrical if they are not facing each other. Asymmetry means that one eye is at the top and the other is at the bottom. A person has two legs, one leg is long and one leg is short. One leg turns to the left and one leg turns to the right. It can only be regarded as a deformity. Unhealthy body theory.
The bedroom with one door in and out is opposite to the door of the room and other rooms, without any obstruction. A house with one entrance door is a "safe house" and does not violate the taboo of facing each other in Feng Shui. Therefore, there is no need to consider too many door relative issues.
The doors inside the whole house are facing each other. Among them, the "idle doors" and the extra doors are facing each other. There are taboos in Feng Shui. If they are not "idle doors", there are no taboos.
What is Xianmen? For example, a house has multiple entrance doors, a room has several doors, and the dispensable door is called an idle door.A room or a house has only one door for entry and exit. Without such a door, the house has no way in and out, making it a house with "no practical value"; only with such a door can the house be put into practical use and can operate. stand up. This kind of door is a "living door" under any circumstances, and there are no Feng Shui taboos on the living door under any circumstances.
Feng shui does not advocate opening multiple doors. A house, a room, one door is "living", multiple doors are "strange", no door is "dead", many doors fight... Doors that must be opened can be opened more, and they are still "living doors".
The more doors you open at home, the better. Too many doors will not gather wealth. The real problem is that it is unsafe. Unsafe factors lead to leakage and scattering of wealth. If a door is useful and necessary, it must be opened. If you don't open the door and there is no passage, there will be a "dead corner"; if you open the door, it will be "living", and it will be a trap door and a way out.
Useless doors, redundant doors, are empty doors, idle doors, evil doors... Use this point of view to check and measure every door in the home, and block the redundant doors.
"Useless" doors and "extra" doors, no matter how they comply with the Feng Shui rules, will always cause disadvantageous factors. The reason is extremely simple: "useless" and "redundant" doors will not play any beneficial role except hiding and inducing disadvantages. The useful and necessary door is a trap door. A trap door will never harm Feng Shui. A trap door will always have more positive effects than negative effects.
For modern buildings, use the following criteria to weigh: whether it is necessary, whether it is available; whether it is redundant, whether it is useless.
For example, a bathroom is necessary and happens to be there. There is no disaster, no harm, and no evil, so there is no need to resolve it; what would happen if there is no bathroom? What is the purpose of many bathrooms?
Another example is a door. If there is no door, there will be a dead end. If there is just one door, it is a "live door, a living door". Living doors and living doors are treasures and do not need to be resolved. There is another way to think and test about doors, whether the transposition is more reasonable and whether the transposition is more practical. Assuming that transposition is more inconvenient and unreasonable, then now is the best plan, the most precious and reasonable state, and there is no need to resolve it.
Another example is passages and roads. If they don’t work, they must be necessary. They are not redundant and will not harm Feng Shui, so there is no need to resolve them. Another example is the bathroom, whether it is necessary and unique.
is necessary, unique, and useful. It is a treasure and a "noble person", and there is no need to resolve it. It’s useless, no matter how good it is, no matter how beautiful it is, no matter how much economic value it has, what’s the point! This is the reality, needs and musts are treasures. A treasure, in any position, is still a treasure if it is placed in the wrong place, and cannot be a disaster; a disaster is a disaster in any position, and cannot be turned into a treasure.
Modern urban complete houses are built in the style of one room, one door, and one entrance door per suite. They are necessary doors. Even if there is an extra door, it is also necessary to open the door. This is strictly different from the architectural style of old-fashioned rural houses. , there is no problem that doors are relative and doors cannot be relative.
When building old-fashioned houses in rural areas, there are as many as four or five doors in a room. The door openings are wide open, and there are many fighting doors. The doors face each other, which is unsafe, inconvenient, and not warm. It is an extremely undesirable behavior. . However, there are many reasons for opening the door, and there is endless debate.
A friend encountered a similar problem when he was building a house in a rural area. After arguing with his family and the master for several days, he reduced six or seven doors, but there were still too many doors. Since building the house, there are still dozens of doors. It was used less than three to five times during the year, and strict locking management was implemented on a daily basis, which was obviously troublesome. That's why many questions have been raised, in order to reduce the bad habit of opening the door too often in rural areas.
A set of houses and rooms with one entrance door. There are no redundant doors. The duties, uses, purposes, and functions of the doors are very clear. They are trap doors under any circumstances, not redundant and useless idle doors, empty doors, and waste doors... ...the trap door has no Feng Shui taboos under any conditions. There is no problem of crossing the hall.
"When two doors face each other, one must retreat", which obviously refers to neighbors. There was a taboo in ancient times that the doors of neighbors who were not under the same roof should face each other. This taboo originated from the fact that the ancestors' statues could not face each other. If there were no ancestors' statues, or the ancestors' statues of the two families who opened the door would not look at each other, Doors between neighbors can still face each other, and there is no taboo against facing each other. The key core element here is the relative position of the ancestors. There is no door-to-door problem for suites with an entrance door on the same floor in the same apartment building in the community. The main reasons are: 1. It is not an "idle door". 2. When you open the door, you will not see the ancestral shrines in both houses. 3. The door is the internal structure of the entire house.
The doors of a whole unit, a community, a house, or one's own house should not face each other. A house without a door is "dead" and forms a dead corner. A door to a room or a door that must be opened and is used frequently is a "living" door, and redundant doors in a room are "strange" doors and "idle" doors. The "dead", "weird" and "xian" sects all have taboos.
Inside the house, the doors of the rooms are facing each other, and the distance of pedestrian movement routes is shortened; the doors are not opposite, and the distance of pedestrian movement routes is lengthened. Although it is only a small step or two, day after day, year after year, it is not a small number. ; It does not conform to the rule of "the greatest simplicity" in " the Book of Changes ". The highest rule of " road to simple " is: all unnecessary superfluous ideas, assumptions and actions must be simplified; all unnecessary consumption and consumption must be frugal. These two steps will ultimately waste nature's resources needlessly and unnecessarily, and go against the laws of nature.
The doors are not facing each other but are staggered. The interior of the room is invisibly cut into many triangular plates by the pedestrian movement routes, which is inconvenient for storage of items and furniture placement. The effective use area of the room is narrowed; the doors are opposite, and the room is divided into four or four directions by the pedestrian movement routes. Rectangular panels make it easier to display items in the room, and the effective practical area of the room becomes wider. Such issues have long been non-controversial among the old carpenters.
When a friend was building a house in the countryside, the old carpenter opened all the doors at relatively symmetrical positions. Although the old carpenter couldn't explain why he did this, he used the master's teaching as an excuse to speak rude words , but from the barbaric words of the old carpenter, we can realize that ancient people have long understood the scientific principle of the effective use of the internal area of a house. Why do people today have to move from a modern scientific society to a barbaric and ignorant society.
There is also the door-to-ladder problem. The principle is "right up, not down". That is to say, it is correct to go up the ladder, but it is best to be wrong when going down the ladder.
The above are two pictures of the stairs with doors facing each other and the stairs going down. By comparing and analyzing the pictures, it should be fully understood that it should be much safer if the doors are opposite to the stairs; if the doors are opposite to the stairs, assuming someone rushes directly from the room. In the panic, there is obviously an unsafe factor hidden in going down the stairs. In reality, there is obviously a precedent for this story of someone falling down the stairs and injuring someone.
