Chinese people value Feng Shui culture. Whether it is weddings and funerals, or some daily life, they must always be linked to Feng Shui. Take residence as an example. Siheyuan pays great attention to Feng Shui issues and has gradually formed a rich Feng Shui culture. Let’s take a look at what classic Feng Shui cultures of Siheyuan!
1. Internal planning of Siheyuan under traditional culture
Residentials emphasize "all-in-houses". In the old days, the saying "there is east but no west, no old wife. There is west but no east, no husband. Only the northern house, there is a king but no minister", corresponds to the family with the courtyard planning. Siheyuan can be regarded as a model of "full houses". It has houses on all sides, and it is not short of them, which is very standardized.
2. The screen wall is hidden in the screen wall and the screen wall is filled with wind and air
The one placed outside the door is called the screen wall, and the one inside the door is called the screen wall. Screen walls and screen walls are all Feng Shui walls. Feng Shui is an important guide to qi. There is a saying in the "Shuilong Jing" that "directly hurts people", so the air flow cannot directly rush to the hall or bedroom, otherwise it will be unlucky. Moreover, if the air flows directly, it will not accumulate wealth. The screen wall and screen wall can block the airflow, causing the evil spirit to vent and slow down, thereby harmonizing the internal and external qi of the house.
3. The gates are mostly opened in the southeast, Naxiang
The gates of the courtyard are generally opened in the "Xun" position in the southeast corner. People call this "grabbing the yang". At the beginning of ventilation and qi, there is a saying that purple qi comes from the east, which is auspicious. In addition, according to Feng Shui, doors cannot be opposed, otherwise evil spirits will enter, which is called " door to ". If the door is opposite to the door, it is the mouth-to-mouth. If you eat such a big mouthful, you will end up with a father-son discord, brothers clashing, sister-in-law and sister-in-law being ungrateful, and sister-in-law being jealous.
4. The southwest corner of the courtyard: one thing reduces one thing
The most unlucky location in the courtyard is the southwest corner. According to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, this direction is called the evil position, which is a place that may bring disaster, so people will build a toilet here to cure evil with evil.
5. The bedroom area is suitable for
The bedroom area of the courtyard is generally not too large. Because it is too small and does not gather energy, it will affect the owner's fortune; if it is too large and too spacious, it is unlucky.
6. The dark room is good for living
Feng Shui theory is the "dark room is good for living". The living room of the main room is the center of the reception of guests and is also a place where family members often gather. It is more suitable for brightness and cheerfulness; the bedroom is the center of rest, so of course it is suitable for gentler light.
7. The planting in the Siheyuan pays attention to
In the Siheyuan, mulberries and refreshing pear trees will not be planted in the Siheyuan, because "mulberry" and "meng" and "pear" are homophones. There is a saying among Beijingers: "Mulberry, pine, cypress, pear, locust, don't enter the palace and the royal house." This is the reason. There are many kinds of begonia , pomegranate, jujube tree , etc. in Beijing's houses. As the saying goes: You can enjoy flowers in spring, taste fruits in summer, and cool in autumn!
