What is a porch?

Also known as the entrance hall, it refers to a turning space between the entrance of the building and the main hall. The traditional architecture in East Asia has the concept of "hiding", and the entrance is a buffer between the inside and the outside, which separates the inside and the outside to some extent.

The location of the porch is so special, but many friends ignore its importance and decorate it at will, which not only affects people's experience, but also affects the whole house in residential feng shui. The entrance is located at the junction of indoor and outdoor, which is both a separation and a transition, giving people a buffer space.

The entrance must have the function of separation, and people outside can't directly see the activities of people in the house, so as to protect privacy and increase security.

In the ancient house, it is even more exquisite. A decorative wall will be built inside the gate to cover it. The scientific name "Shadow Wall" is also called "Xiao Wall". Why "disaster starts from the small wall" refers to internal disaster, just because the small wall is inside the mansion.

The origin of the porch:

"Those mysterious organs are the most mysterious." -"Zhongheji Volume III" "The righteous road is not born, the clouds will meet, the porch will open, the eyes will flow, the ground will shine, and it will be auspicious." -The Tripitaka

In Taoism, porch refers to a critical moment or a critical moment in monasticism; In Buddhism, it refers to the entrance to the Tao. After the entrance is opened, the chaotic world will reappear brilliantly and present auspicious signs. In the residential structure, this place is the only place to go in and out of the house, and its position is very important, but it also conforms to the title of porch.
