A summary of Feng Shui knowledge that should not be ignored when decorating a door
Whether it is a building or a bungalow, the door of a house is the outermost symbol of the separation of internal and external space. It is where the air vent is located. The door is as important as the mouth of the human body for accepting food. The door is the hub of life, and the facade of a residence is also a barrier that divides social and private spaces. So the function of the gate can be imagined.
Doors are closely related to the flow of internal and external air, because internal and external air cannot pass through the solid walls of the house, but can only pass through the doorway. Exterior doors affect the flow of outside air into and out of the home, while interior doors have a huge impact on the internal air in the home. The moment everyone enters and exits their home every day, they will be affected by the feng shui of the door. Therefore, how to arrange the door, what direction to pay attention to, etc. are crucial to each of our users.
The following is the essential Feng Shui knowledge for home doors provided by Feng Shui master Dong Yilin:
Door
(1) Open the left door: In Feng Shui, If there is a bright hall in front of the door, it is auspicious. If there is greenery, flat land, a pool, parking space, etc. in front, opening the middle door is the first choice. If there is no bright hall in front, it is better to open from the left. In other words, most doors should be opened from the left: the so-called green dragon on the left and white tiger on the right. The green dragon on the left is suitable for movement, and the white tiger on the right is suitable for quietness, so all doors should be opened from the left. Opening is auspicious, that is to say, people are facing from the inside out, and the door handle should be placed on the left side. Opening the door upside down can easily lead to family disputes. It is even more unlucky to open the north gate as the Xuanwu Gate. It is called the Ghost Gate abroad, which also means "defeat", so you must be careful when opening the north gate at home.
(2) When installing the door, you must clearly see whether the wood grain is parallel or reverse. Usually, the lines that appear from bottom to top are along the lines, and the lines that appear from the top to the bottom are against the lines. Doors that follow the grain make the home peaceful and smooth, while doors that go against the grain may make the home unstable and unsmooth.
(3) The height of the door should be proportional. Usually seven feet is used as the standard. A door that is too high will make people lose their sense in doing things, be greedy and vain, and have a dangerous look. If the door is too low or too small, it will appear blocked, everything will not go smoothly, and vigorous energy will not come in, which may cause people to lose confidence in doing things or cause many setbacks.
(4) The door should not face the elevator: The door of the building should not face the elevator door. This will cause adverse effects on wealth and make the residents prone to diseases.
(5) The main door cannot be in a straight line with the window, the back door or the toilet: the door and the window are the openings for Li Qi to enter and exit the house. The main door cannot be connected in a straight line with the window and the back door, so that the front and rear doors pass through each other, so that Li Qi can pass through the hall. They cannot go out and gather in the house, so wealth cannot be gathered, so it is called withdrawing wealth. The toilet is a space for people to relieve themselves. It is not clean in nature, so the door should not be directly facing the toilet. Having the door directly facing the toilet will make financial investment mistakes and damage your family's financial fortune.
(6) A porch should be set up between the main door and the living room: the key to Feng Shui is "like to circle around, avoid to rush forward". An entrance hall or a low cabinet is set up between the door and the living room to provide a buffer between the inside and outside, so that Li Qi can gather in the living room after maneuvering. The inside of the house is also hidden, making it difficult for outsiders to spy on it. The interior of the house is hidden and hidden, symbolizing endless blessings.
(7) The outer door, inner door, inner door, etc. cannot be on the same straight line. This is a heart-piercing evil. If the front and back doors pass through each other, wealth cannot be gathered. In addition, having the door open to the end will cause a lot of trouble. If there are several rooms in the house connected together, you must not set up several doors leading from the main door to the bottom. It is also forbidden to have a long corridor connecting several rooms in a row like a hotel or restaurant. Otherwise, affairs or elopements may easily occur. Peace is hard to guarantee.
(8) There should not be two or more colors on an independent door, otherwise, it will give people a scattered and repetitive effect.
(9) Try to avoid having round-arched doors in the house. The circle represents movement, and the home is suitable for quietness, so it is not suitable at all. Moreover, the round arch shape also looks like a tomb door, which is very unlucky. If it is aesthetically pleasing, square arches can be used instead.
(10) The door should open inward and not outward. Because the door owner takes in air, if the door is opened outwards, it will send the peaceful air into the house, which will lead to bad luck and loss of wealth.
(11) The way of the door: The entrance is the entrance to the house that receives air. It should be clean and bright, and should not accumulate debris to avoid hindering luck.
You should avoid two doors facing each other or overlapping each other, otherwise it will damage your health, career and family peace; two doors biting each other will cause frequent quarrels in the family. If you open the door to see the wall or the activities in another room, it will disrupt the flow of Qi in the body and cause physical discomfort. Large rooms such as bedrooms and living rooms should have large doors, and small rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens should have small doors. Because the large door will have a certain oppressive effect on the small door, if the bathroom door is too large, health and character problems will occur, and the family will suffer from indigestion.
There are so many things about the way of the gate that cannot be covered in one article. The above is to provide you with some common sense, and I hope it can bring you some help. I wish you good luck and good luck!
