Five kinds of Qi that influence the quality of home Feng Shui
Whether in home Feng Shui or modern office Feng Shui, the concept of "qi" is a core issue in Feng Shui. There are two types of Feng Shui: rational style and formal style, but no matter which one, from the practical effect, if an environment has no vitality, poor air flow, etc., then this environment is definitely not good for people. Qi here is both a physiological feeling and a natural condition. What the ancients called the harmony between man and nature, man and the environment, and the congeniality of breath probably also refers to this aspect.
Gao Sisun, a native of the Song Dynasty, wrote in "Wei Lue House Classic": "Any house with east and west heights is rich and majestic; high in front and low in back, there is no door; high in back and low in front, there are many feet. Cows and horses. Wherever the land wants to be flat, it is called Liang earth; if it is high in the back and low in the front, it is called Jin land; if it is high in the west and low in the east, it is called Lu land; if it is high in the front and low in the back, it is called Lu land; if it is high in the front and low in the back, it is called Lu land. It is called Chu Earth, which means it is inauspicious; the four sides are high and the center is down, and it is called Wei Earth. It is rich first and then poor. "We can still see from the above words the ancients' feng shui of welcoming blessings and auspiciousness to their homes. Summarize accurately. The same sophisticated and highly visual writing is also reflected in Volume 14 of "Gui Qian Zhi". This article records Liu Qi's self-report of his garden residence in the Jin Dynasty: "The site where his former residence was built is surrounded by mountains. If it is the south mountain and the west rock, my ancestors used to visit it, the east is Baishan Mountain, which represents the famous temple in the north. To the west is the mountain. Yuquan and Longshan are the most beautiful places in Shanxi. The clouds and mist are changing, and there are several streams of water flowing outside the door. Every quiet night, there is a gentle breeze, which makes people feel sleepless. In the living room, I burn a stick of incense, put a pen and inkstone on the table, and read several volumes. I sit down and sing, looking at the mountains and looking for the delicious food.
From some film and television works that reflect ancient life, we often see a person lighting a stick of incense first when entering a room. In fact, in this place, this incense is used to judge whether there is life and evil in the room. If the incense goes out soon after being lit, then you should not stay in this room for a long time. Obviously from a modern scientific perspective, this means that this house is caused by a lack of oxygen or other "harmful" gases.
The ancients said in the Feng Shui classics that "one place, two gates, three thoroughfares, four valleys, and five vacancies" are collectively called "five machines". This is the classical Feng Shui theory to create a house with good fortune and good fortune. basic factors. Here, based on their different properties and functions, we can briefly understand them as follows: Earth atmosphere
Generally refers to factors such as the size and height of the homestead, soil quality, ground temperature and humidity, and their physiological and psychological effects on people. This also includes family cohesion or affinity reflected in the ambient atmosphere.

Door Qi
The door is the throat of the house, and there is a metaphor for "qi mouth" in Yang Zhai Xiangfa. In fact, the door is not only the communication channel inside and outside the house, but also involves the safety of the residents' entry and exit, defense, and the harmony of neighborhood relationships or the order of family status. It also restricts the landscape inside and outside the house, microclimate adjustment and other factors. Door Qi generally refers to These many restrictive factors and influences are related to the internal and external environment of the residence. The door Qi should not be too strong or too weak. For example, if the door Qi is too strong, it will dilute the earth Qi, which also includes the destruction of privacy in the house. Quqi
Generally refers to the road traffic guidance outside the house and various factors that affect the road inside the house. The review and selection of Qu Qi for regulation should not only take into account convenient transportation and strong identification, but also avoid harmful external interference related to it. Qiao Qi
Using a high house as a barrier, if the enclosure is appropriate, it will create a sense of stability in the place, while if the enclosure is too tight, there will be a sense of oppression. These are the so-called Qiao Qi. Of course, the "return air" also includes the important impact of high-rise buildings on microclimate factors such as ventilation, moisture removal, cooling or wind protection and cold protection in the house. The air of vacancy
refers to the influence of the internal and external environment of the house due to the circulation and penetration of space. In addition to affecting physiological needs, psychologically, it also refers to the sense of looseness, openness or transparency in the connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces of the house. It also includes various differences in private or semi-private spaces. stabilizing factors.
