Part 3 Analysis and answers to several questions (9)
Netizen's Question 66: What does it mean to put a lion on the beam above the door?
The simple understanding and answer is: on the beam above the gate, put a lion, "love", "appreciate", "defend the house", "avoid evil", "door lintel decoration"... It is nothing more than these considerations, and other meanings cannot be explained. But it must be placed smoothly, pay attention to safety, and cannot be dropped. Otherwise, there will be a "rat mass" similar to the ones placed in catching weasels in rural areas, which will hurt people and cause disasters. Regarding the rules of Feng Shui lions, you can refer to the following arguments:
1. "Feng Shui lions" are paired with male and female, and male and female should not be confused!
1. When disguising, place the male lion on the left facing the stone lion and the female lion on the right facing the stone lion. If one of them breaks, all the stone lions should be replaced, and the remaining one should not be left in their original place.
2. Adding lion heads on the door is mostly used to resolve evil spirits outside the house. If you cannot place a stone lion on the door, you can add a pair of metal lion heads on the door, which can also block evil spirits. But stone lions cannot be placed at the small door. The stone lion is powerful, and the door is small and the stone lion is large. It may not block evil spirits, but there will be disasters.
3. The lion's head rushed outside to block the evil spirit, which is very powerful and has a heavy evil spirit. The Feng Shui layout is used to prevent evil demons and ghosts from entering the house. Therefore, the lion's head should be outside the house. If it is placed at the window, the lion's head must face out the window. The stone lion can be placed outside the window ridge, but it must be fixed firmly with cement to avoid falling. If placed in the window, it still needs to be glued tightly to ensure that the lion's head is facing outward.
4. It is best to place a stone lion in a position where the five elements of the house match. You need to find out the five elements of the house and cannot conflict. The stone lion belongs to the Qian hexagram, located in the northwest, and the five elements belong to metal. Stone lions are most effective when placing them in the northwest. The West is perfectly suitable for placing stone lions. In principle, is suitable for when placing the other directions. The stone lion is placed in the south of the house to avoid evil and help luck, and to be lucky. Because the south is the innate position of the Qian hexagram.
2. Taboos in placing stone lions!
1. Some people place the head of the stone lion directly opposite the gate, thinking that this is a housekeeping mission. In fact, this misunderstands the habits of the stone lion. The lion's head rushes to the main door is the gate god, which is unlucky. It's not OK to flush the toilet. It is necessary to reach a certain angle for the lion's head to rush to the main entrance. In ancient times, stone lions were placed on both sides of the door.
2. The lion's head cannot be directed to the bed, the fish tank, the statue of the god, and the beam of the house.
3. The lion's head cannot be rushed into the mirror to avoid the light evil affecting the spirituality of the stone lion.
Lion, a ferocious animal, can easily cause blood disasters. But its image can drive away evil spirits. The lion is also known as the auspicious beast that brings people fame and status. The image of a lion is suitable for people born in autumn, but not for people born in the zodiac signs of monkey and snake.
When using the lion image, the lion's head must be facing outward. It is best to hang a painting of lion rolling hydrangea . The lion rolling hydrangea is a sign of joy. Folk customs believe that lions are divine beasts that can prevent evil spirits. Lions usually appear in pairs, with their mouths open and the other closed, which means breathing. There is another saying: Zhang means attracting wealth, closure means keeping wealth, and having money means eating but not vomiting, and only entering but not leaving.
The meaning of the stone lion is endless, all of which are auspicious and festive. folk song has: "Touch the head of a stone lion, you don't have to worry about your whole life. Touch the back of a stone lion, and your children and grandchildren will have generations of literati. Touch the belly of a stone lion, and you don't have to worry about your food and clothing. From the beginning to the end, the source of wealth will flow like water."
Pay attention to the connotation of the lion taken in the picture. One lion opens his mouth and the other lion closes his mouth. This is the artistic conception that Feng Shui culture needs to express!
3. The symbolic meaning of the placement of stone lions is mainly reflected in five aspects!
1. Placement of stone lions can suppress houses and ward off evil spirits:
Stone lions are majestic and fierce, with strong deterrence, and can exorcise demons and disasters. The Chinese gatekeeper stone lion has always been respected by people as the divine beast of housekeeping. The Ming and Qing stone lions are placed in front of the gate, which is closely linked to people's pursuit of stability and harmony. The placement of door lions can resolve the evil spirits outside the house.
2. The placement of stone lions is a symbol of the powerful and powerful:
The lion is noble and majestic among all beasts, with the style of a king. The stone lion guarding the gate naturally becomes a symbol of the powerful and powerful. A family that can afford to place a stone lion in front of the door is obviously extremely prosperous, and is an intuitive reflection of wealth and family prosperity.
3. Stone lion placement can decorate the facade:
Ancient Chinese architecture attaches great importance to decoration. Stone lions are becoming the people. One of the biggest characteristics is the combination of stone lions and architecture. In addition to many auspicious meanings, the important decorative role of stone lions cannot be underestimated.
4. Placement of stone lions means the prolongation of descendants:
The stone lion in front of the gate is composed of pairs, with the meaning of pairs in pairs. There is a young lion under the feet of the lion. The lion caresses the young lion, which means the prosper and the long history of the descendants. It embodies people's beautiful wishes for the prosperity of their family and the prospering of their descendants.
5. Other auspicious functions of placing stone lions:
The gatekeeper stone lion has many related meanings. For example, a pair of stone lions are placed in front of the door, using the homonym of "liu", which means "being in pairs, having a prosperous descendants", "a wealthy family", and "a wealthy family". The appearance of big lions and young lions at the same time has the meaning of "Taishi Shaobao", which means "promoting step by step, and high-ranking officials from generation to generation". "The lion rolls the hydrangea" means that the lion is yang and the hydrangea is yin. It is a symbol of reproductive worship, which means the reproduction of life and "all things are transformed into birth."
When placing the stone lion, the lion's head must face out of the door, the stone lion guarding the door must be one male and one female, paired in pairs, looking from the inside and out of the door, the male lion is on the left and the female lion is on the right, which is consistent with the traditional view of Yin and Yang culture in China.
net's comment Question 67: Is it good to plant cement columns in the grave? The main tomb has not moved, others will be removed to prevent others from farming?
Simple understanding and answer is: Cement columns are planted around the grave, and the cement column should not be too high. If the cement columns are too high and the position is not properly handled, it will be a bad thing and evil!
The means of modernization can be removed by people. What can the planting of cement columns resist?
still depends on whether the living offspring has the ability to keep it!
has the ability, can hold on, and no one dares to move without falling. If you don’t have the ability and can’t hold on, you will be moved away by someone when you move to the Himalayas.
Why can’t you be confident that you can hold on and plant cement columns? It is still a manifestation of problems with self-confidence, and the individual’s social ability and methods of handling things are not in place!
Netizen's Questions 68: From the perspective of Feng Shui, it has been three years since the house decoration, can you live in it?
Simple understanding and answer is: After the house is renovated, if you don’t enter it for a long time, it will be bad and you will commit the “empty room evil”. In fact, if a new house cannot live in a long time, no one will manage it, and lack of human activities, it will soon become a place for other small animals and microorganisms to live in, and become a vacuum area where viruses and bacteria that breed unknown truths. After a long time, there will be a certain change and humans will be in trouble when they enter the house to live.
Any life has territorial consciousness. Territory consciousness is an important inherent law in nature. One of the important principles of territorial consciousness is: "first arrival principle", also known as "first occupation principle" and "preconceived principle".
This principle is full of all aspects of nature and human social life, and international law has a clearly stipulated "priority of possession".
Principle of preoccupation, also known as the principle of occupation: "refers to the act of obtaining sovereignty over the land through possession of unowned land. The preoccupation system is one of the oldest 'natural ways' to acquire property."
Viruses and bacteria have no exception to have the law of "territorial consciousness". Human activities will destroy and interfere with the effective reproduction of viruses and bacteria.
Humans arrive first, and the territory belongs to humans. It is much more difficult for bacteria and viruses to enter them. Assuming that viruses and bacteria arrive first, the "territory" of the house belongs to viruses and bacteria. Viruses and bacteria are generally reproduced in it, and all pores, partitions, and tiny gaps are filled with viruses and bacteria. When humans enter it again, the resistance and troubles are much greater.This is the real secret that the long-standing uninhabited houses in ancient times are often "haunted"!
In the field of Feng Shui, we must understand the importance of "territorial consciousness". Take the lion on this stone as an example: If this lion lives and rests on this stone for a long time, suppose that someone comes to the stone to play without knowing it. If the lion suddenly comes back, it will inevitably launch a strong attack on humans, and may spare no effort to attack humans. At this time, human beings will be in an extremely dangerous situation. However, if humans play and live on this stone for a long time, and the lion just passes around this stone by chance, the lion may slowly leave the stone as if he has not seen humans. This is the trouble of "territory consciousness". Feng Shui activities must have sufficient understanding of "territory consciousness"! The role of small lives and microorganisms in "territorial consciousness" cannot be ignored.
1. What is territory consciousness?
Territory consciousness is the awareness of individuals or groups to strive for new areas or defend the existing areas of their own and being harmed by others. Rooted by the need for security. Its strength is related to the degree of demand and the type of field, and the personality characteristics of the occupant, etc. The more crowded the space and the stronger the demand, the stronger the sense of territory will be.
Territory consciousness is a consciousness that creatures live in a certain area for a long time, believing that this is its territory and that other creatures will not be allowed to invade.
The so-called territorial consciousness is similar to "I make the decision on my territory". Most animals will establish their own territory and leave various marks to mark. Once similar or similar animals invade, the lords will make a sound of warning or even attack the invaders, posing as "my territory is sacred and inviolable."
Territory is usually built by male animals. Territory is the capital for male animals to court, and male animals without territory often cannot find a mate.
Humans, animals, plants, microorganisms... All animal and plant populations with life characteristics occupy a piece of land or space in the field of life as a place for survival and reproduction. Other animals and plants are not allowed to invade and drive out the invaders. This behavior of defending the territory can be understood as territorial behavior.
2. Specific outline and depiction of psychological characteristics of territory consciousness!
I wonder if you have discovered such a phenomenon in your life: if the subway car is an empty car, most of the passengers who get on the bus first sit in the seats that are leaning against each other. No one asked the passengers to sit like this, but the passengers still did this at the same time.
The next passengers will sit in the middle of the seat, and the passengers behind will "fill" the seats bit by bit. If the seat space is large, the passengers will choose to keep a certain distance from others; only when people are crowded will they squeeze in.
From such a small behavior, we can see that people have a mentality of wanting to ensure their "territory". Everyone wants to "defend" a space around their body. If someone enters this space, they will feel depressed and feel uncomfortable all over. Feng Shui knowledge also calls this "territory meaning behavior" the territorial consciousness of private space.
Of course, each person's private space scope is different. For example, people with more outgoing and open personality have a smaller private space, and others will not feel uncomfortable if they are close to themselves to a certain extent. On the contrary, people with a strong exclusiveness in their personality have a relatively large range of awareness in their private spaces. If someone enters people's private spaces, they will be unhappy.
In addition, the seats on the side will make you feel more secure than the seats in the middle. Because the seats in the middle are empty at the beginning, but they will soon be "occupied" by people; the seats on the side will be different, at least they can ensure that there will be no one on one side.
3. People’s psychological distance!
A Feng Shui master has done such an experiment. In a large reading room that just opened the door, when there was only one of the readers, the Feng Shui master went in and sat next to him or her with a chair. The experiment was conducted in a full hundred people.It turned out that in an empty reading room with only two readers, no one tested could tolerate a stranger sitting next to him. After Feng Shui masters sat next to them, the people tested did not know that this was doing an experiment. More people quickly chose to stay away and sit in another seat, while others simply stated clearly: "What do you want to do?"
This experiment shows that people need to keep a certain distance when interacting with each other. When your private space is violated, you will feel uncomfortable, lack security, and even annoyed.
This phenomenon explains well why many people will unconsciously feel numb all over their bodies when they enter a strange space that has not been in a long time when they are independent, and their muscles will contract and get goosebumps. The reason is that although there are no people in these spaces, there are other organisms and microorganisms that have entered them in advance before humans. The human mind and meaning do not feel the changes in this environment, but human cells are sensitive to the changes in this environment!
Feng Shui masters divide this territorial consciousness distance into four types:
1, intimate distance!
This is the minimum or uninterval distance in interpersonal communication, that is, the usual "intimate" distance: its close range is within fifteen centimeters, and the skin may touch each other's skin and ears and faces, so that each other can feel the temperature, smell and breath of each other. The distance range is between fifteen centimeters and forty-four centimeters. Physical contact may be manifested as holding hands with arms or heart-to-heart talks, reflecting close and friendly interpersonal relationships.
2. Personal distance!
This is a slightly sensible distance between people and has less direct physical contact. The distance between individuals is between 46 and 76 centimeters, which can shake hands and have friendly conversations. This is the space to interact with acquaintances. When a stranger enters this distance, it will constitute an invasion of others. The distance range of personal distance is 76 to 120 centimeters. Any friends and acquaintances can freely enter this space, but in normal circumstances, when more harmonious acquaintances interact, the distance is closer to one meter in the distance, while the conversation between strangers is closer to one 1 meter in the distance, and the distance is closer to one 1 2 meters in the distance.
3. Social distance!
This has gone beyond the interpersonal relationship between intimate or acquaintances, but reflects a social or etiquette-based relationship. The close range is from 1:2 to 2:11. Generally, people maintain this level of distance in work environments and social gatherings. Once, the arrangement of seats for a diplomatic meeting was negligent, and there was no tea table with increased distance between two side-by-side single sofas. As a result, the guest tried to lean against the outside armrest of the sofa from beginning to end, and had to lean back frequently. It can be seen that different situations and different relationships require different interpersonal distances. Distance does not correspond to situations and relationships, which will obviously lead to psychological discomfort in people.
4. Public distance!
This is the distance between the speaker and the audience when speaking publicly. The range of the close range is from 3.7 to 7.6 meters, while the range of the long range is ten meters away. This is a "open door" space distance that can accommodate almost anyone. People can "turn a blind eye" to other people in the space and not interact with each other because there may not be a certain connection between them. Therefore, most of the communication in this space is in public speeches. When the speaker tries to talk to a specific audience, he must walk down the podium and shorten the distance between the two people to personal or social distance in order to achieve effective communication.
Regarding psychological distance, in addition to personal differences, there are great differences in the influence of Chinese and Western cultures!
4, four common names for psychological distance!
Feng Shui masters believe that the psychological distance between people can be divided into four types: intimate distance, personal distance, social distance, and public distance!
Here, people can summarize the psychological distance between people into the psychological distance of four more popular and easy to understand:
Family distance. Including the interpersonal distance between parents and children and family members.
Power distance. Power is everywhere; people are in contact with leaders every day, and even leaders themselves are carefully grasping this kind of interpersonal distance.
favor distance. That is, the interpersonal distance between people and relatives, friends, colleagues in daily life.
public distance. It involves the distance between anyone in society, and can even directly form a social relationship.
In short, territorial consciousness is a natural consciousness, which exists in all life phenomena in nature. If the house does not live in for a long time, it will be occupied by other creatures first, and then it will form rejection of humans.
