For thousands of years, Chinese people have always believed in Feng Shui. Especially when building houses, we attach great importance to the surrounding environment and geographical location. The old saying "Mountains control people, water controls wealth, don't mess around with the decorations at home" comes from the theory of ancient Feng Shui. What did the ancients mean to express this sentence? Is there any reason? Let’s talk together today.

Let’s look at the first half of the sentence “Mountains control people’s population and water controls wealth”. In ancient Feng Shui, mountains are calm and generous, giving people a sense of security, and have always represented the prosperity of people’s population. Water represents wealth because water flows, and money can only flow to reflect its value. Therefore, it was reasonable for the ancients to represent wealth.

In our impression, mountains have always been tall, steady, responsible and dependent. Therefore, in Feng Shui, houses built on the back of the mountains and the water are all the best Feng Shui treasure lands. That is, the population can prosper. It can also make a lot of money.

From a realistic perspective, houses built on the back of the mountains and water do have many benefits. Living in such a house, the mountains behind them resist the bitter cold wind. At the same time, because living on the sunny side of the mountains, the sun is shining, reducing the moisture in the room and reducing the breeding of bacteria and viruses, it is of great benefit to people's physical health, which is also the prerequisite for a prosperous population. The flowing water in front of the house is like a natural air purifier . It not only allows you to breathe fresh air every day, but also makes people feel refreshed, work and study, full of motivation, and it is difficult not to get rich!

After talking about the causal relationship outside the house, let’s take a look at the second half of the sentence “Don’t mess around with the decoration at home.” Although the location of a house is important, the furnishings and layouts in the house should not be underestimated. If the layout is improper, improper will affect the family's luck and may even endanger your health.

So according to the first half of the sentence "mountain controls people, water controls wealth", the sofa in the house must be placed against the wall and must not be placed next to the wall with windows. The sofa is where we rest, and it also stays against the wall, which means there is a backer behind us, so that we can rest safely and comfortable. Otherwise, if we lean against the window, we will feel insecure. In addition, a fish tank cannot be placed behind the sofa, as it is a taboo to lean against water on the back.

Many families like to hang landscape paintings in the living room, which is pleasing to the eye, and secondly, it is also to attract wealth and treasures. But little do you know that there are some specialties in how you hang this landscape painting. First of all, if there is a waterfall in a landscape painting, this painting must not be hung directly opposite the door. Everyone knows that water controls wealth. The pouring waterfall faces the gate. Isn’t the wealth flowing out? Outflow means losing money, so you must pay attention to this detail.

In addition, many families like to raise fish. They set up a fish tank at home and raise a few ornamental fish , which not only adds vitality to the room, but also forms a landscape pattern with the landscape paintings in the room. There is also a name in the fish tank called "Guiren Shui", which exists in the room in the form of water. Therefore, the location of the fish tank in the room is also very particular and cannot be placed randomly. Except for the fish tank mentioned above that cannot be placed behind the sofa, if the statue of the god is still enshrined at home, remember not to place it under the statue of the god. Fish tanks are usually placed in the living room as soon as they enter the door, but they must not occupy the aisle. Another thing to note is that fish tanks cannot be placed in the bedroom.

From this we can see that the Feng Shui knowledge that has been passed down for thousands of years in ancient China was not all dregs. It contains the essence of the thoughts and wisdom of the ancients. Of course, it is not advisable to believe it blindly without discernment. We must analyze these old sayings rationally. We carry forward the reason for our own goodness, and resolutely abandon the unreasonable truth.
