After purchasing a house, what should be noted in terms of feng shui arrangements? And what are the taboos? Let’s explore together the taboos of feng shui in housing! Feng Shui Knowledge: Taboos in Housing Feng shui arrangements in a house require attention to detail and adherence to certain principles. One crucial aspect is the placement of the wealth corner. It is imperative that the wealth corner has a sturdy support, preferably against solid walls symbolizing support and stability. This ensures the accumulation of wealth and prosperity while safeguarding against financial losses. Conversely, if the wealth corner is backed by transparent glass windows or left empty, it not only hinders the accumulation of wealth but also risks financial losses due to energy depletion. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to this aspect. While the characteristics of bedroom decorations may seem inconsequential, the placement of furniture and ornaments holds significance from a feng shui perspective. Displaying auspicious symbols or artworks can enhance the ambiance and aesthetic appeal of a home, whereas items evoking sadness or negativity can adversely affect one’s mood. Once the placement of the wealth corner is determined, it should not be arbitrarily moved or disturbed. Disrupting the arrangement or placing objects that cause vibrations can destabilize the flow of wealth and hinder financial stability. Therefore, it is crucial to keep the items in the wealth corner organized and refrain from placing electronic devices prone to vibrations, such as televisions or stereos, in that area. The state of wealth should be kept pristine; any intrusion of toilets or clutter in this area would mar its sanctity, greatly diminishing financial prospects. Such interference not only obstructs the influx of wealth but also accelerates its depletion. Additionally, sharp angles directed towards this domain should be avoided to safeguard its prosperity. The arrangement of furniture in the kitchen is equally crucial for harmonizing the flow of water and fire, pivotal elements in Feng Shui. Orienting the stove towards the southern direction, where the fire element thrives, facilitates this balance. In ancient times, when cooking with firewood, positioning the stove towards the east coincided with the prevailing wind, aiding in fire ignition. For aesthetic purposes, adorning the wealth sector with evergreen bonsai trees is advantageous for fostering financial abundance. Optimal practice entails selecting tall vases exceeding half the indoor height, hosting plants like spider plants or displaying bonsai such as iron trees, money trees, or crabapples. It’s imperative to meticulously tend to these arrangements, promptly removing any withered leaves, to ensure their lush growth. Despite the allure of utilizing window sills as makeshift beds due to limited living space, such practices are perilous in terms of furniture arrangement Feng Shui. Unintentional or curious actions during sleep may lead to individuals being drawn to external stimuli and inadvertently falling out of windows. Rural dwelling Feng Shui also has its own set of taboos and considerations. The irregular layout of rural homes invites misfortune, highlighting the importance of architectural symmetry in warding off calamity. Therefore, regardless of the size of one’s abode, it is imperative that the layout be rectangular. In the realm of Feng Shui, triangular or irregularly shaped houses are most frowned upon. Triangular or irregular layouts are actually quite rare in ordinary residences. Presently, within the real estate offerings of Zhengzhou, the peculiarly shaped layouts of Green City Waterfront Garden are the only ones I have observed. Such angular designs, besides potentially posing Feng Shui concerns, also tend to suffer in terms of spatial efficiency, given the scarcity of triangular furniture. Moreover, irregularities can impede the north-south airflow within a room, leading to poor ventilation and diminished lighting.
Analyzing Feng Shui in rural homes:
1. The living room, akin to an indoor altar, is where family gatherings occur or where guests are entertained. Due to the relatively modest size of bedrooms, each family member usually has their own space, making it inconvenient for communal gatherings. Hence, an open-plan layout is preferable for the living room. Typically, living rooms are rarely enclosed, although some developers indeed opt for semi-enclosed designs.
Analyzing Feng Shui in rural homes:
1. Feng Shui dictates the necessity of a “ming tang,” with its size symbolizing the magnitude of one’s career prospects. In architectural terms, the ming tang refers to the spaciousness at the front of a house. In today’s densely populated urban landscape, where buildings rise taller and spaces shrink, people find themselves akin to birds confined to cages, overwhelmed by a sense of confinement. To be frank, contemporary edifices scarcely evoke the grandeur of antiquity; at a glance, they appear as mere repetitions of each other, devoid of distinction. Nevertheless, there are some residential towers within the community that boast ample spacing. A cursory examination of rural dwelling feng shui reveals: the northwest missing corner phenomenon. Can one acquire a house with such an irregularity? Given the prevailing pursuit of profit maximization among developers, each level tends to accommodate as many units as feasible, resulting in a prevalent occurrence of missing corner structures. Furthermore, rectangular layouts are scarce, inevitably leading to encounters with such architectural anomalies. Recommended reading: Principles of Architectural Feng Shui. Five types of ominous residences one must avoid purchasing! The first type: Assessing feng shui involves not only one’s own abode but also the surrounding environment, especially the dwelling directly opposite yours, as it equally influences you. Therefore, residences lacking a central hall directly opposite your entrance are certainly not advisable for purchase, as this layout is unfavorable for wealth accumulation and cannot be remedied. The second type: Circular dwellings should be avoided. While heaven is round and earth is square, circular forms connote activity, while square forms denote tranquility, making square abodes more conducive to peaceful living. The third type: Transparent abodes should not be acquired, as structures enveloped in glass on all sides are suitable only for public, non-private spaces, such as offices. Utilizing such a design for residential purposes leads to the violation of the principle of containment, resulting not only in restlessness and agitation but also in frequent domestic disputes and heightened susceptibility to extramarital affairs among female occupants. The fourth type: Houses with uneven heights, characterized by elevated ends and a lower middle section, are deemed ominous abodes. Not only are such structures aesthetically displeasing, but from a Feng Shui perspective, they also pose threats to the inhabitants’ well-being, hindering their fortunes. The fifth type: It is inadvisable to invest in apartment suites with missing corners or irregular layouts. Even for standalone residences, avoiding houses built on slopes is prudent. Furthermore, the entrance of a standalone dwelling should not be aligned with a sloping path, as such alignment disrupts the flow of auspicious energy, potentially impeding wealth accumulation.
