Why do some people say that the mirror in the house cannot look at the bedside and the door?
What a thing cannot do, you must first see what it can do.
First, we can see ourselves in the mirror, which is a very magical place.
Modern science believes that the reason why we can see ourselves in the mirror is because the mirror can completely reflect light. But how could there be so much science in the time of feudal superstition? China’s feudal era believed in theocracy, which resulted in not only theology but also Yin-Yang theory. Onmyoji believes that a mirror can not only see the current self, but also the past self and the present self, and can also see the real self. Isn't the monster mirror able to reveal whether you are a monster? Of course, if your magic power is really strong, it won't be able to shine. For example, Sun Wukong and the six-eared macaque.
Of course, in addition to seeing yourself, you can also see other things around you, such as ghosts and others. There are also other allegorical things and warning things. In the Shang Dynasty, bronze mirrors were often placed together with the turtles, and they were both tools for emperors to use for divination. The mirror has also developed in another direction, that is, the magic mirror. In the magic mirror, you can also ask yourself whether you are the most beautiful.
Of course, these are all superstitious statements, but I would rather believe it than believe it.
So, why can’t we put the mirror on the bedside?
Yin-Yang experts believe that, first, the bed is the place where people sleep and rest, and people are most unprepared when sleeping; second, most of the time they sleep at night, and at night It is also the time when Yang Qi is most exhausted.
These two aspects make people most vulnerable to ghost intrusion when sleeping. If you put a mirror on the bedside, if you wake up in the middle of the night, you will see yourself in the mirror, and if At this time, a ghost passes by and appears in the mirror. This will scare you half to death, that is, scare you out of your soul. It is not uncommon to see people frightened out of their souls in rural areas, and it is more likely to happen to children. Of course, this is the rhetoric of Onmyoji. However, as mentioned above, you can see your past and present lives in the mirror. If you wake up in the middle of the night, what you see in the mirror may not be you now. It may be your past life, or it may be hell. For you, this will easily break through people's psychological defenses. This will not scare people out of their souls, but may even scare them out of their souls.
Of course, modern science believes that it is because people mess up their hair and clothes when they sleep. If you see a messy you, it is different from the usual you. Because people wake up in the middle of the night, their nervous reactions are very slow and it is easy to Scared by myself.
Second, mirrors can reflect light, that is, they can reflect light. In addition to seeing the true side of things, mirrors can also reflect some things.
You have seen a lot of Lin Zhengying’s movies, and you may be familiar with the Bagua mirror in it. The Bagua mirror can illuminate zombies and cause harm to them. In ancient my country, mirrors were often used to exorcise evil spirits because they could see real things and reflect things. In rural areas or even in some urban units, you might see some residents hanging a mirror in front of their door. The purpose is to reflect away those "unclean things" and to prevent those "unclean things" from coming in.
But there is also a problem. In rural areas, there is rarely another house in front of a house, so the reflected unclean things return to nature. In cities, there are often residents opposite the residents. If you use a mirror to reflect the unclean things away, you will often drive them to the house of the resident opposite. So whether this is true or not, it is a big problem for the residents opposite. It's very bad.
The second problem is that although the mirror can reflect away unclean things, it will also prevent the God of Wealth from entering. Because even the God of Wealth belongs to the ranks of ghosts and gods. Therefore, blocking the way for the God of Wealth to enter your home means blocking the way for wealth.
Therefore, the mirror cannot face the door, nor can it be hung on the door.
