Since ancient times, Feng Shui has played a pivotal role in Chinese culture. It is not only the crystallization of ancient wisdom, but also people's pursuit and yearning for a harmonious living environment. In modern society, despite the rapid development of technology, people's attention to Feng Shui has not diminished. Today, let's explore the four basic principles that need to be followed in the feng shui of a residential house, and see if your home meets these principles to create a better feng shui environment and improve the fortune of the occupants.
01. The principle of sitting in the north and facing the south: conform to nature, and welcome auspiciousness
"Sitting in the north and facing south", these four words seem to be ordinary, but they contain profound geographical wisdom and feng shui philosophy. The ancients said: "The north of the mountain and the south of the water are yin, and the south of the mountain and the north of the water are yang." This statement reveals the basic division of yin and yang, and the layout of the house facing north and south is based on this principle, so that the dwelling is in harmony with the qi of the earth, which is conducive to accepting the masculine qi and dispelling the cold and dampness.
The continent is located in the northern hemisphere, in the eastern part of Eurasia, and most of the land mass is located just near the Tropic of Capricorn. Such a geographical location determines that the sunlight is mainly sprinkled from the south throughout the year, and the houses facing north and south have unique lighting conditions, with sufficient sunlight during the day and cold north winds at night, making the indoor temperature suitable, warm in winter and cool in summer. In addition, the southeast and southwest winds, which prevail in summer, can pass through the hall, take away the heat, bring coolness, and make the air circulation in the house refreshing and pleasant.
02. The principle of house squareness: take the law from the world and imply stability
In the ancient view of Feng Shui, "the sky is round and the place is round" is worshipped. This concept is embodied in typical buildings such as the courtyard houses and the Temple of Heaven in the north, which symbolize the harmony and unity of heaven and earth with their regular square layout. From the perspective of modern Feng Shui, the Founder House is regarded as the best choice, because of its stable and impartial form, which not only conforms to people's inner pursuit of stability and security, but also fits the core concept of "Tibetan Wind Gathering" in Feng Shui.
The ideal square unit presents a symmetrical and balanced beauty in both the overall outline and the interior layout. This rigorously structured, sleek design helps to guide the smooth flow of airflow, reduce dead spaces, and prevent the accumulation of negative energy. Living in such an environment, people's mood tends to be peaceful, family relationships are harmonious, and career, school, health and other aspects of fortune are more likely to be improved.
03. The principle of yin and yang balance: reconcile yin and yang, and nourish the body and mind
"Lonely yin does not grow, and solitary yang does not grow", this phrase comes from the ancient feng shui book "Snow Heart Fu", which shows the decisive role of yin and yang balance in the growth and development of all things. In residential feng shui, the balance of yin and yang is mainly reflected in the impact of the intensity of light on the indoor environment. Abundant yang energy can brighten, warm and energetic the room, while moderate yin energy will bring tranquility and coolness, which is conducive to rest and meditation.
The ideal house should be kept in moderate light, not only to avoid being too dim and causing excessive yin energy, which will affect the mood and health of the occupants, but also to prevent excessive yang energy, which will make people irritable and unfavorable, and is not conducive to the convergence of wealth and fortune. In addition, open windows for ventilation all year round to ensure air circulation, which can effectively avoid the stagnation of yin qi, prevent the breeding of pollution, and protect the physical and mental health of the family. Only the harmony of yin and yang can build a harmonious and orderly living space that prospers and benefits oneself.
04. The principle of separation of dynamic and static: separate functions and go their own way
The term "separation of movement and static" reveals the principle that the living room and bedroom should be independent and not interfere with each other in the feng shui layout of the residence. The living room is a place to treat people at home, with an active aura, people coming and going, and it is very lively. Bedrooms, on the other hand, are private spaces that need to be kept quiet and clean to facilitate deep sleep and rejuvenation. The two should be set up separately to avoid mixing of aura and ensure that their respective functions are fully utilized.
At the same time, the layout should also pay attention to "dry and wet separation" and "cleaning and pollution separation". For example, the bathing area in the bathroom should be separated from the defecation area by a partition to maintain privacy and avoid the spread of moisture. The bathroom should be appropriately spaced from the kitchen, dining room and other areas to avoid moisture, oil smoke and other penetrations and affect the hygienic environment. In this way, the reasonable distribution of "one dry and one wet" and "one clean and one dirty" can be realized, and a comfortable and clean living space can be created for the residents.
When choosing and furnishing a home, we should pay attention to the application of these principles to ensure that the feng shui environment in the home is harmonious and stable, bringing good luck and health to the occupants. Of course, Xiangji is not a panacea, it is only an auxiliary means. We need to create a better life through our own efforts and wisdom.
