As an important part of China traditional culture, Feng Shui has a long history and inheritance. Feng Shui studies the relationship between man and his living environment. It can also be said that Feng Shui is a science of using and transforming the environment. Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once famously said, "When a house is built, people are made." It shows that the house has a great influence on people. In fact, from the perspective of Feng Shui, it is not only the house itself that affects people's character, health and fate, but also the external environment, layout and decoration of the house. The external environment of the house includes two parts, one is the external environment of the residential area, which we call the macro environment, and the other is the topography, landforms and planning layout of the residential area, which we call the meso environment. The internal structure and layout of the house is the small environment of the house. Generally speaking, these three aspects should be considered when choosing residential feng shui. Let me say it alone:
First of all, let me talk about the choice of the big environment.
The so-called macro environment refers to the surrounding environment outside the community, including mountains, buildings, rivers and roads around the community. Nothing can exist independently, but it will interact with the surrounding environment, and the building community is no exception. The quality of geomantic omen in residential areas depends largely on the influence of external environment. If the external environment is good and meets the requirements of feng shui, the feng shui atmosphere inside the community will be good; If the external environment is not good, the feng shui atmosphere inside the community will definitely be adversely affected.
When choosing the geomantic omen of the external environment, we should pay attention to the following points:
1, whether it meets the requirements of "storing wind and gathering gas"
Feng Shui pays attention to "storing wind and gathering gas", so what conditions does the terrain meet to be considered as "storing wind and gathering gas"? "Burial Book" stipulates this kind of environmental situation, and thinks that the terrain that conforms to "hiding wind and gathering gas" should be "green dragon on the left, white tiger on the right, suzaku in front and Xuanwu in the back." In other words, the general situation should be: there should be high mountains in the back, low hills in the front, protective mountains on the left and right sides, and the hall should be spacious and surrounded by winding water. Of course, this is an idealized environmental model. In practical selection, as long as the terrain or buildings in the rear are higher than those in the front, the terrain or buildings on the left are higher than those on the right, and the hall is open, then this environment has the conditions of "hiding wind and gathering gas".
2, the surrounding rivers and currents.
Feng Shui says that "mountains are surrounded by water" and "jade belts are around the waist". Generally, there should be a good atmosphere at the bend of the river, and there should be good feng shui at the place surrounded by the river. But the rivers beside many communities are straight. In this case, how should we choose? The general principle is: if the residential area is located on the right side of the river, it is auspicious, if it is located on the left side of the river, it is fierce. As for the determination of the left and right sides of the river, it depends on the flow direction of the river: when the back is facing the incoming water, the left hand side is the left side of the river and the right hand side is the right side of the river. Since ancient times, most people have followed this principle when choosing cities, and built big cities on the right bank of the river, such as Chongqing, Changzhou, Nanjing, Wuxi, Suzhou and Shanghai, which are all located on the right side of the Yangtze River. Cities such as Lanzhou, Xi, Luoyang, Zhengzhou and Jinan are all located on the right side of the Yellow River. If a residential area is located on the right side of the river, then the river must flow clockwise, and this clockwise flowing river has a good strengthening effect on the feng shui gas field inside the residential area; Located in the community on the left side of the river, because the water flow is counterclockwise, the feng shui atmosphere inside the community will be greatly weakened.
3. Surrounding roads
Because the direction and location of the road will affect the terrain and gas field of the community, special attention should be paid to the roads outside the community. Then there is the elevated, light rail. Because the high-speed vehicles on the elevated road will form strong noise and impact airflow, which will have a great destructive effect on the geomantic omen of the community and adversely affect the health and luck of the residents. I once saw a house this spring. The building where the house is located is located on the right hand side of a residential area, next to a north-south elevated road. Standing indoors, I look forward. The long viaduct came straight at me like a sword, and the cars on the road shuttled back and forth, which was very suffocating. Shortly after the family moved into their new house, the hostess of the family was robbed of 60 thousand yuan when she went to the bank to withdraw money. Three other families living in the same building also had car accidents. Therefore, we must pay attention to the house next to the elevated road. If it is not particularly necessary, it is best not to choose.
Houses shot by roads often attract thieves. Recently, nearly ten households in a residential area were stolen on the same day, and the stolen households were concentrated in an upstairs building, and next to this building was a straight avenue.
Secondly, let me talk about the choice of intermediate environment.
The so-called meso-environment refers to the internal environment of the community, including the topography, landform, architectural layout and landscape layout of the community. The residence has the closest connection with the internal environment of the community, and the internal environment of the community has the greatest influence on residential feng shui. Therefore, when choosing a house, the internal environment of the community should be taken as the key investigation content.
1, terrain
In China, geomantic omen pays attention to a round place, and the terrain of the building community is important. The terrain is not short of gossip, yin and yang are balanced, and the five elements are born together. The gas field in the community will benefit the residents. Irregular terrain will inevitably lead to the lack of corners in some places, and the corresponding gossip will appear defects, resulting in imbalance between Yin and Yang and disharmony of the five elements, which will affect the health and luck of residents.
If there is a lack of horns in the East, because the East is the orientation of divination, the orientation of dragon gods and treasure gods, and the five elements belong to wood, if this orientation is defective, it will lead to diseases in the liver and gallbladder, and people living in the community will lack courage and find it difficult to achieve their careers.
If the north lacks horns, the five elements belong to water, because the north is the location of divination, Xuanwu and mountains. The loss of this position will lead to diseases of kidney and urinary system, which is also unfavorable to future generations.
In the gossip of the day after tomorrow, both southeast and southwest represent the position of women. If there are defects in these two directions, it will be very unfavorable to the health of the hostess. In the past, people called the house with a corner missing in the southeast and southwest "stepmother's room", which meant that women living in such places would not live long.
Because the northwest is the place of divination, which represents the old father, career and money, the defects in the northwest are not conducive to the elderly, career and wealth.
But the defects in the northeast will be bad for the son, and the defects in the west will be bad for the daughter.
Some communities are surrounded by mountains on three sides and have triangular terrain, which is also not good. Some people have done special statistics, and the incidence of cancer is obviously higher among people living in the triangle area.
Therefore, when choosing a house, we must carefully examine the terrain of the community. Of course, there are few square terrains in the strict sense. As long as you choose a house far away from the missing corner, you can alleviate the adverse effects caused by this defect. For developers, when encountering this kind of terrain, it is necessary to deal with the defective part according to the principle of "five elements generate grams", which is not only conducive to the sales of real estate, but also can improve the geomantic environment of the community and avoid bringing losses to the owners.
About the terrain. This place in Shanghai, the terrain is very flat. But now, in order to be beautiful and green, many real estate communities will build some uneven mounds and then green them. This artificial mound has a certain influence on the geomantic omen of adjacent houses, especially for people living on lower floors.
2. Architectural layout
The layout of buildings is generally arranged according to the terrain characteristics. Because most of the terrain is irregular, the arrangement of buildings is mostly not in one direction, and the layout of buildings is also irregular. And even if the terrain is relatively square, it is difficult to see regularly arranged buildings now. Influenced by western architectural culture and driven by people's psychology of seeking novelty and novelty, the architectural layout is becoming more and more complex, and the stereotyped layout is often regarded as rigid and not creative. In fact, the orderly arrangement of buildings does not mean rigidity. The building is neat and orderly, the layout is relatively balanced, and the yin and yang are harmonious; However, due to the asymmetry of architectural layout and spatial division, irregularly arranged houses often lead to imbalance of Yin and Yang and disharmony of five elements in residential quarters, which in turn leads to unfavorable geomantic omen. Moreover, because the orientation between buildings is mostly inconsistent, this design will form a large number of corner balls, which is not good for the owners.
Another serious defect of irregular building layout is that it is easy to form some bad feng shui patterns, such as the back of some buildings facing the gap between buildings, or the road between two floors is behind, which is more common in villa areas. There is a road rush at the back, or there is a seam towards the building, which is a big defect in geomantic omen, which is very harmful to the residents of the washed house and is not good for health and future generations. You must avoid this situation when choosing a house.
3, the shape and color of the building
Architectural modeling is also one of the important contents, including the modeling of the building itself and the modeling of other buildings that can be seen around it. Here is a very typical example. In XX city, there is an office building with a special appearance. From a distance, its main building looks like a tombstone, and there is a semi-circular building above the podium in front, which looks like a grave. More vividly, there are fences around the semi-circular buildings, just like the fences around the Monument to the People's Heroes. The facade of this office building is made of dark gray stone. The whole building looks old and gloomy, giving people a more like a grave. Buildings like this will be gloomy, it will be relatively difficult to rent out, and the business of companies working in them will definitely be adversely affected. In addition, from the configuration of the five elements, the top of the building is spike-shaped, the five elements belong to fire, and the semi-circular building below belongs to gold. Frontispiece, the main entrance, has a green mark, and the five elements belong to wood, just forming a chain of fire, gold, Jin Kemu and five elements. This five-element design will make the gas field of the building restrained and rejected by the outside world, so it will be more difficult to rent it out. In addition, there is a back door behind the building, which is the main entrance and exit for office workers. There is a landscape with an upward corner at the door. Putting such a sculpture at the door gives people a feeling of being stuck in the throat, just like a fishbone stuck in the throat, which seriously blocks the flow of qi. This design violates the design principle of architectural geomantic omen and should be regarded as a very failed design. I'm afraid it's difficult to rent out this kind of building, and the company working in it will not do well because of the heavy yin inside. Therefore, when choosing a house, we must pay attention to the shape of the building. For some buildings with strange shapes and strange looks, don't choose them rashly.
In addition to the shape of the building itself, we should also pay attention to the shapes of other buildings opposite. Here I will tell you another example of a haunted house. Last year, I went to Qingdao to show a client Feng Shui. After seeing the environment of his ancestral grave, I concluded that his eldest sister-in-law had breast cancer and both breasts were removed. Why did it break like this? Because two holes have been dug in the mountain opposite his ancestral grave, it looks like two breasts have been dug. In fact, his sister-in-law just had a mastectomy two months ago! So is the yin house, so is the yang house. If there are buildings or objects with bad shapes in front of the house, there will be a bad atmosphere, which will destroy your feng shui and affect your family's fortune.
In addition to modeling, the color of the building is also very important. Compared with the past, today's architecture is not only more innovative in modeling, but also more colorful in facade color. When choosing a house, we should consider the corresponding relationship between the color of the selected building and the surrounding buildings, and see if the color of the selected building is in harmony with the colors of other surrounding buildings. Generally speaking, it is unfavorable if the five elements of the surrounding buildings restrain the five elements of the building. On the contrary, it is beneficial if the five elements of the surrounding buildings are helpful to the five elements of the building.
4. Rock landscape
As the saying goes, "the mountains are high and the water is long, and the population is prosperous." Generally speaking, where there are mountains, especially some large mountainous areas, the population is prosperous and there are many talents. For example, many generals and senior leaders in our country are from mountainous areas. In places rich in water resources, such as water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, they are generally rich. Nowadays, in order to beautify the environment, many residential quarters will make some artificial rockeries or trees and some stone scenes in the landscape layout. However, it should be noted that these rockeries and stone scenes are very different from natural "mountains". Because these mountains are all piled up with stones, there is neither soil nor flowers and trees on them. Therefore, it is difficult for artificial rockeries to have the effect of "flourishing people". On the contrary, it may lead to some disadvantages. Why? Because stones have the function of inhaling air, especially some stones with strange shapes, the yin is relatively heavy and it is easy to induce diseases and other adverse events. If there are rockeries or grotesque stone scenes next to the house, I suggest that it is best not to choose such a house, unless these rockeries and stone scenes are particularly well-shaped and just occupy a suitable divination position. I also have an example here. One hospital, perhaps to beautify the environment, set up a new stone scene at the gate. This stone scene looks like a human brain. Soon after the stone was erected, things happened one after another in this hospital. First, an employee fell from the upstairs and died while cleaning the window. Then, medical accidents keep happening, and patients' families often go to the hospital to make trouble. Therefore, developers should pay special attention to the design and layout of stone scenery. Similarly, people should be especially careful when choosing a house next to a rockery or a stone scene.
5. Waterscape
In geomantic omen, water has the function of closing, stopping and storing qi, and it is also the main tool of geomantic omen to promote wealth. Generally speaking, there are several forms of water around the house. One is facing the water, that is, facing the water; The second is to surround water; The third is horizontal water, that is, water flows parallel from the front; The fourth is oblique water; The fifth is the anti-bow water. The above kinds of water, except anti-bow water, are generally considered to be good. However, everything is not absolute. It's also a waterscape. Because it is located in different positions of the surrounding houses, its functions are different, and its influence on the surrounding houses is also very different, both good and bad. Usually, when choosing a house, people like to choose a house next to the waterscape, because the environment is good and the scenery is good, and the house next to the waterscape is generally more expensive than the house far from the waterscape. But what I want to say is that good scenery and good environment do not necessarily mean good feng shui, and people's feelings can sometimes deceive people. I once saw a house in Nanjing. The owner of this house said that the house was chosen because of the good environment and the great water features in front of it. And I infer from the environment outside his house that since he moved into his new house, his business has gone from bad to worse! And a lot of money can't be collected. Why? Because the house faces different directions, the requirements for waterscape are different. When people choose houses, they usually only pay attention to the ornamental function of waterscape, and often ignore the feng shui significance of waterscape. Therefore, many people are hurt by water unconsciously. For the residence next to the waterscape, be careful when choosing. If you choose well, you can make a fortune. If you choose badly, you will lose money and hurt your health.
Finally, talk about the choice of small environment.
The so-called microenvironment mainly refers to the internal structure of the house, including the room type and kitchen and bathroom location. When talking about the choice of residential environment, I once said that the lack of terrain angle is unfavorable to Feng Shui, and the lack of room type angle is equally unfavorable. The influence of lack of room type on geomantic omen is the same as the lack of terrain angle mentioned above, so I won't go into details here.
It's not good to lack a corner in the room. Wouldn't it be nice if a part of the house stood out? This is generally the case, but it cannot be generalized. For example, I saw a house in Pudong a few days ago. To the southwest of this house is a bedroom. The southwest corner of the bedroom protrudes outward, and the protruding part is round. Based on this, I decided that his mistress was in poor health. ......
Specific to the shape of the room, in the specific choice, we should try to avoid the emergence of irregular room types. At present, there are many houses, and some rooms will have one or more sloping sides. This kind of room is not easy to use and it is easy to waste space. More importantly, it will cause uneven flow of qi in the space, which is unfavorable to Feng Shui and should be avoided as much as possible.
In addition to the shape of the house, the location of the kitchen and bathroom is also an important consideration. The kitchen is a place where heat sources are concentrated, and the five elements belong to fire, so it should be in the north or southeast of the house. The locations of the royal kitchens in the Forbidden City in Beijing are all in the southeast. The kitchen is the most taboo in the south of the house, because the south is originally a fire, and then setting the kitchen in the south will cause yin-yang imbalance and easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The bathroom is cold and damp, so it is not suitable to be located in the north of the house.
