Five taboos for opening the door at home
Open the door to avoid the smoke, home and everything.
I don't see the mirror flashing, and my heart is auspicious.
Sharp objects are not visible, and peace and security are healthy.
There is no garbage in front of the door, and happiness is always accompanied.
Although the ancient precept has no basis, it contains good intentions.
New era, new life, home to create beauty.
The ancients often said: "The house takes the situation as the body, the spring water as the blood, the land as the flesh and skin, the grass and trees as the hair, the house as the clothes, and the door as the crown belt." ”
The entrance gate, as the first scenery of the home, carries the first impression and expectation of the home. It is not only the entrance to the home, but also a symbol of the owner's taste, and a guarantee of safety and warmth.
A good entrance door design can instantly enhance the overall style of the home, so that the visiting guests can feel the enthusiasm and intentions of the host
When designing the entrance door, we need to pay attention not only to practicality, but also to pursue its beauty and uniqueness, so that the door becomes a bright business card of the home.
Since ancient times, the layout of the house and the direction of the door opening have been regarded as important factors affecting the fortune of the family. Today, we're going to talk about an interesting topic – five things that are best not to face when opening the door.
First, the door is opened
The ancients said: "Straight to the point, money is wasted." This statement is true, and it contains the wisdom of profound home layout.
In ancient times, the kitchen was not only a place for cooking, but also regarded as the "treasury" of the home, and the stove was just the "heart" of this treasury.
Whenever the smoke curls up, it is a symbol of the vitality and vitality of the family.
Speaking of this, we might as well go back to ancient times, when the Suiren clan drilled wood to make fire, bringing light and warmth to the world, and the importance of fire is self-evident.
The fire of the stove not only represents the warmth of the home, but also implies the continuation and prosperity of the family.
The location of the stove has naturally become the top priority in the layout of the home.
If you open the door and see the stove directly, the ancients believed that this would lead to "the exposure of wealth", and it would be difficult for the family to accumulate wealth like flowing water.
This is just as the Book of Changes says: "When the instrument is hidden, there is no disadvantage." "Wealth needs to be hidden and not used to last forever. And the revelation of the stove undoubtedly breaks the mystery of this "hidden".
In addition, the "qi" is fluid, and when you open the door, you will see the stove, and the "qi" in the family will disperse, which is not conducive to the luck and harmony of the family.
Speaking of which, it is worth mentioning an ancient legend.
Legend has it that there was a wealthy merchant whose family mansion was resplendent in gold, but strangely enough, no matter how hard he worked to run it, the family's wealth was always difficult to accumulate. One day, he brought in a master, who looked around and finally pointed out the crux of the problem—the stove that opened the door.
The wealthy merchant heeded the advice and adjusted the location of the stove, and soon the family's fortunes began to improve.
Second, there is no toilet when the door is opened
Toilets are often regarded as a gathering place for filth in the home, and people pay special attention to the purity and harmony of the living environment, so the location layout of the toilet is particularly important.
When you open the door to the toilet, it is not only unpleasant, but it is also likely to affect the aura of the home.
Opening the door to the toilet will destroy the auspicious atmosphere in the home and is regarded as a bad omen.
The truth in this may be closely related to our psychological feelings. Imagine that every time we return home, the first thing that catches our eyes is the toilet, and that kind of psychological discomfort will undoubtedly affect our mood and quality of life.
In ancient China, there was a story about the layout of toilets.
Legend has it that during the Jin Dynasty, there was a calligrapher named Wang Xizhi, whose house was very well designed. In particular, he placed the toilet in a remote part of the house to make sure that it would not be seen as soon as it was opened.
Such a layout not only makes the aura of the home pure, but also provides a comfortable and quiet creative environment for Wang Xizhi. As a result, his calligraphy works have also been passed down through the ages, and he is known as the "saint of calligraphy".
Let's look at a story from ancient Rome.
In ancient Rome, people also paid attention to the layout of their living environment. It is said that when a nobleman designed his mansion, he deliberately arranged the toilet in the backyard to avoid the filth from affecting the atmosphere of the home.
There is such a sentence in an ancient poem: "The dwelling must be taught to be elegant and clean, and the door must be opened to see filth." It expresses the deep meaning of opening the door and not seeing the toilet.
A clean and fresh home environment has a crucial impact on our quality of life.
The famous writer Lao She described in detail the layout of the courtyard houses in Beijing in "Four Generations in the Same Hall", which also mentioned the location of the toilets. The descriptions in these literary works further confirm the importance and universality of the layout principle of opening the door and not leaving the toilet.
3. Open the door and don't see the mirror
"Under the moon, the flying mirror, the clouds are born and the sea is built. "In ancient poetry, mirrors often appear as images, symbolizing illusion and reflection.
In ancient legends, there is a story about mirrors.
Legend has it that a long, long time ago, a wealthy family had a large mirror in front of the door. Whenever someone enters the door, they will be startled by the reflection in the mirror, and over time, the people in the family will panic, and their fortunes will gradually decline.
Later, a master passed by and pointed out the root of the problem: the mirror facing the gate.
The rich man heeded the advice and removed the mirror, and harmony and luck were restored in the home.
This story is widely circulated among the people and has become a strong evidence of "opening the door and not seeing the mirror".
Mirrors have a reflective effect and are thought to reflect good luck in the home, which is not conducive to the gathering of family fortune.
In modern times, this principle is still followed by many people.
"When you open the door, you don't see the mirror, and your family fortune is prosperous. This is not only a traditional wisdom, but also people's expectations for a better life.
In many folk customs, mirrors are given special meanings, such as exorcism, warding off evil spirits, etc.
"Home and everything is prosperous. ”
A harmonious and peaceful family environment is essential for everyone's growth and development. The purpose of opening the door without seeing the mirror is to create a more harmonious and stable home atmosphere, so that good luck and positive energy can gather at home and bring a better future to the family.
Fourth, open the door and see no sharp objects
"The blade has not been tried, and the cold is pressing. "Sharp objects are like swords, and they have a kind of fierceness and evil aura since ancient times.
Whenever you open the door, if you see these sharp things at first sight, the aura of the home will become sharp and discordant.
"The flower path has never been swept by guests, and the Pengmen is now open for you. The artistic conception in the poem shows a harmonious and quiet family scene. If sharp objects were placed in front of the door, wouldn't it spoil the scenery and destroy the tranquility and tranquility?
Modern people often say, "Home is a safe haven, not a battlefield." "Who wants to go home every day and see the first thing they see is a cold sword facing each other?
From a psychological point of view, the presence of sharp objects tends to make people nervous and uneasy.
Being in such an environment for a long time is undoubtedly an invisible harm to the mental health of residents.
Kitajima wrote in "Life": "When all the days are pouring out of the nest and flying on the road, the book of failure is broad and profound. ”
Life is complicated and difficult enough, so why add unnecessary obstacles to your home?
When you open the door and don't see sharp objects, you leave a pure land for your soul and make your home a real haven.
Fifth, open the door and do not see the trash can
"Out of sight is pure", this is not just a rhetoric.
Imagine that as soon as you push open the door, a trash can stands in front of you in a daze, as if to "salute" you. Isn't this picture too "beautiful"?
There's a good saying: "First impressions matter." "If you see the trash can at the first glance when you open the door, the warm and clean image of the home will be greatly reduced.
Who wouldn't want to come home and be greeted with a clean, refreshing environment?
Jack Ma once said: "Details determine success or failure." "The placement of a small trash can is actually an important detail of the home environment.
In the famous foreign novel "The Little Prince", although the planet where the little prince lives is small, he pays great attention to the cleanliness and harmony of the environment. If the little prince sees a trash can at the door, I'm afraid he will immediately pick up the broom and sweep it into an invisible corner!
Speaking of ancient poems and legends, we have to mention the story of "sweeping a house, you can sweep the world". While the story emphasizes the importance of starting small and paying attention to detail, it can also be extended to the tidiness of the home environment.
How can a person who can't even tidy up his own doorstep be expected to manage the world's major affairs?
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a boy named Chen Fan, who lived alone in a room, but the yard was messy and disorderly.
His father's friend Xue Qin came to visit, and after seeing the situation in the house, he criticized Chen Fan for not sweeping and treating the guests.
Chen Fan replied: "The husband is in the world, he should sweep the world, and he will have a room!" Xue Qin immediately retorted: "If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world?"
Chen Fan was deeply touched by this sentence, and he began to start with small things, pay attention to details, and eventually became a famous minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
When it comes to the pursuit of a better life, we might as well draw some inspiration from ancient poems.
For example, Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head" wrote: "When is the bright moon? This not only shows the poet's yearning for a better life, but also inspires us to cherish the present and enjoy life.
In the same way, creating a clean, harmonious and warm home environment is also one of our pursuits for a better life.
