"Home furnishing is important in harmony, and the photos are hung in a good way, so as to show wisdom. ”
Home is the harbor of our soul, and each carefully selected photo is not only a carrier of memories, but also the finishing touch of the home atmosphere.
However, the choice of the location to hang the photo contains an unknown mystery and the art of living.
As the saying goes, "put the finishing touch, make the layout shine", and hanging photos properly can not only beautify the space, but also promote family harmony, and vice versa, you may inadvertently touch some taboos.
Next, let's dive into the "5 places" to avoid when hanging photos at home, these small details can often subtly affect the aura and mood of the home.
"Home is not a trivial matter, hanging images also have a way, avoiding the five places, harmony comes from it. ”
The first place: the "head-on" facing the door
Open the door and see the light, the ancients said: "Open the door to the mountain, it is better to open the door and see joy." If you open the door and see the photo, it is like a cold mirror, which is called "rushing". The disadvantages of this layout were deeply tabooed by the ancients.
Imagine that when you return home every day and the door opens, the first thing that catches your eye is not the warmth and harmony of home, but the eyes of the people in the photo, as if they have walked out of the painting and looked at you face to face. In this situation, is there less of the ease and expectation of returning home, but a little bit of inexplicable solemnity and pressure?
The ancients said: "Home and everything is prosperous." "Family harmony and tranquility are crucial to everyone's physical and mental health, if the photo is facing the door, it is easy to cause aura hedging, making it difficult for positive energy in the home to accumulate, but will bring unnecessary troubles and troubles.
To quote another saying: "The door is in the mirror, and the heart is restless." "This illustrates the detrimental effects of hedging photos at the door. Mirrors have a reflective effect, and the people in the photograph are like mirrors, reflecting a certain amount of energy. When this reflection is in opposition to the aura at the door, it can disturb the magnetic field in the home, negatively affecting the mood and fortune of the occupants.
For the sake of family harmony and tranquility, you should avoid hanging photos in front of the door, and choose other more suitable paintings or decorations to decorate the foyer, so that the air outlet of the home is more smooth and harmonious, so as to create a warm and comfortable home environment.
Second place: The "leaky place" with his back to the window
When it comes to the "leaky pocket" with its back to the window, we have to mention an old folk tale.
Legend has it that during the Jin Dynasty, a wealthy merchant placed a portrait of his ancestor in his home, and this portrait happened to be backed by a large window.
At first, he didn't see anything wrong with it, but as time went by, his family business gradually declined. Later, after being instructed by a master, he found out the problem - the wide open window was facing the portrait, which made it difficult for the family to accumulate wealth, but continued to drain it.
The wealthy merchant immediately adjusted the position of the portrait, and soon his family business flourished again.
The truth contained in this story is worth pondering, in the modern home layout, if the photo is backed by the window, it is indeed easy to give people a sense of wealth is difficult to keep, and blessings are easy to leak.
The window is the passage between the home and the outside world, and if the photo is backed by the window, it is like the blessings and wealth of the family have been lost from this "loophole".
In addition to the poor meaning, from a practical point of view, photos with their backs to windows are also vulnerable to wind and rain.
On a stormy night, photos can be swayed by the wind, which is not only easily damaged, but also reminiscent of an unstable state of life.
Therefore, when choosing a location for the photo wall, we should avoid the "leaky space" with our back to the window and place it on a more stable wall.
Third place: the "forbidden place of love" in the bedroom
The ancients said: "The family and everything is prosperous, and the room is elegant and smooth." "The bedroom, as a private place of rest and rejuvenation, has long been a symbol of tranquility and harmony.
The ancient sages knew that a tranquil bedroom environment was essential for the nourishment of the mind and the rest of the body.
In modern times, we also recognize the importance of privacy and cleanliness in the bedroom for a good night's sleep.
However, some people like to hang a lot of photos in the bedroom, especially the group photo of the family gathering, although out of nostalgia and love for the family, but in the dead of night, those surrounding the "audience" seem to be watching you with wide eyes, which will undoubtedly disrupt the tranquility of the bedroom and affect the quality of people's sleep.
There is a folk proverb: "Pictures are hung all over the wall, and the night is not healthy." "It's a vivid description of how too many hanging photos in the bedroom affect rest. The wall of the bedroom should be simple and warm, so as to create a good resting environment and help to enhance the relationship between husband and wife.
Recall the wisdom of the ancients, who emphasized "pure heart and few desires" and advocated a simple lifestyle, and the layout of the bedroom should be the same, not too complicated.
Fourth place: "fireworks and dust" in the kitchen and bathroom
"The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to the hearts of mortals. "The kitchen and bathroom are the heaviest places in the house for oil smoke and moisture. Gu Shiyun: "Kitchen smoke curls to welcome the New Year, and water is gurgling in the bathroom. "These two places, although full of the breath of life, are not the places where the photos stay for a long time.
Hanging photos here is not only susceptible to moisture and fading, but also more likely to be contaminated with unclean gas.
Smoke and moisture, like invisible enemies, silently erodes the clarity and color of the photo. The ancients have a legend that the kitchen is the residence of the king of the stove, and the bathroom is guarded by the god of water.
As the modern saying goes, "Oily smoke is so humid that it is difficult for a photo to last." "In these functional spaces, we should pay more attention to pragmatism, so that the delicacy and beauty of art can be left in a more suitable place for display.
The smoke in the kitchen and the water in the bathroom are intertwined, as if they are two sides of life: one is the lively cooking and gathering, and the other is the quiet washing and resting.
Between these two sides, our photographs quietly tell the story of the past, and in order to protect these precious memories, we should still rescue them from the "smoke and dust" and place them in a brighter, drier environment.
According to ancient and modern folk customs, it is not advisable to hang photos in the kitchen and bathroom.
The kitchen is a fire, and the bathroom is a water, and the two conflict with each other and can easily destroy the aura balance in the home. As a representation of family members, if the photo is placed in such an environment, it may adversely affect the health and fortune of the family.
Fifth place: the low-hanging "capstone" under the beam
As the old saying goes: "When the beam is pressed to the top, it is difficult to get up." "In ancient Chinese architecture, the beams and columns carry the weight of the entire house, giving people a sense of stability, however, hanging a photograph under the beams and columns is like the top of Mount Tai, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.
Imagine the feeling of being weighed down by a heavy object every time you look up and see that photograph hanging under a beam and column, a feeling that not only affects the mental state of the occupants, but may even adversely affect the career of the occupants.
As the ancients said: "If the heart is wide, the body is fat, and if the heart is narrow, the body is thin." "An open space can be pleasant, while an oppressive environment can be depressing.
When choosing a location for the photo, we should try to avoid the underside of the beams and columns, so that the space seems open and our mood will be relaxed. This reminds me of a saying in modern literature: "Space is the palette of mood." "A spacious and bright space can often reconcile our emotions and make us more positive.
Back to our topic, the "capstone" under the beams.
In ancient legends, there is a story about "beams pressing on the top". In the story, a hard-working farmer hangs a portrait of his ancestors under the beams of his house.
It wasn't long before he found that his career was always in the way, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a breakthrough. Later, he met a wise man, who told him, "The beam is not good for the development of the cause." The farmer came to his senses and immediately moved the portrait elsewhere. It wasn't long before his career began to take a turn for the better.
Although this is just a legend, it contains a profound truth. In real life, we should also avoid hanging photos or heavy objects under beams and columns so as not to put unnecessary stress on ourselves.
Through the above analysis, it is not difficult for us to find that although hanging photos may seem trivial, they actually contain profound cultural heritage and life philosophy.
Home is the stage of life, every photo is a freeze frame of wonderful moments, reasonable layout, not only can make every corner of the home full of warmth and artistic sense, but also can promote the emotional exchange between family members, to create a harmonious and happy family atmosphere.
Keep these five tips in mind to make your home a true haven for the soul, not a labyrinth of taboos.
Life is an art, let us find our own beauty and balance in the daily bits and pieces.
