Feng shui function of screen
Feng shui function of screen
In ancient times, furniture used for wind protection inside buildings was called wind protection. At first, the screen was specially designed behind the emperor's throne and was called the axe. After a long period of development, screens have spread to the people and entered the homes of ordinary people, becoming an important part of ancient interior decoration. The screen in the model room is generally displayed in a prominent position indoors, which plays the role of separation, beautification and windproof.
Screen, the furniture used for wind protection in ancient buildings, is called "wind protection". At first, the screen was specially designed behind the emperor's throne. It was called "axe and graupel". After a long period of development, screens have spread to the people and entered the homes of ordinary people, becoming an important part of ancient interior decoration.
Screens are generally displayed in a prominent position indoors, which plays the role of separation, beautification, wind prevention and coordination, and integrates practicality and appreciation. When it comes to the feng shui function of the screen, we can't help but mention the "shadow wall". In the ancient quadrangle buildings in China, there are often "shadow walls" inside and outside the gate. The screen wall is designed for "Qi". In geomantic omen, no matter the river or the road, it is forbidden to go straight. Shui Long Jing said, "Go straight and hurt people", which hit the nail on the head.
With the shadow wall, the airflow should go around the shadow wall, which slows down the airflow speed and the air will not disperse if it slows down, which is in line with the principle of "music is affectionate". In the Forbidden City in Beijing, almost every courtyard and palace has a screen wall. The only difference is the material: brick, wood or jade. Shadow wall slows down the airflow speed of intake air, which not only plays the role of gas gathering; It also makes the airflow slow down and approach the running speed of human qi and blood, which makes people feel comfortable and is of great benefit to the health and career of residents.
When this principle is applied to room design, it is reflected in the use of screens. According to "Historical Records and Biography of Meng Changjun", "Meng Changjun is a guest, but there are often guests behind the screen, mainly to remember the gentleman and the guest." It can be seen that the screens in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have a shielding effect; This period is also the period when Huangdi Neijing, a classic work of traditional Chinese medicine with Qi theory as the core, was written. As a contemporary product, the screen will never ignore the role of Qi. There is a cloud in Xunzi's Outline: "The emperor is outside the screen, please stay inside."
Nowadays, Feng Shui is popular all over the world. Many businessmen in many places, especially Hongkong, Taiwan Province and Southeast Asia, also use geomantic omen in business wars. Among them, the screen plays a great role. For example, skillfully use the screen of the living room, cut the living room into several small gas fields to gather gas, adjust the origin of "anger", let yourself be in the most prosperous gas field, and let customers or negotiating opponents be in the weakest place.
From the perspective of geomantic omen, the screen has the functions of blocking evil spirits, receiving blessings, gathering gas and hiding things. Moreover, the auspicious patterns above can also enhance the wealth of residents and show their literacy. In fact, among all the things that block evil spirits, the feng shui function of the screen is very significant. Nowadays, the geomantic status of screen as decoration is increasingly prominent, creating an auspicious artistic conception indoors. If the screen is properly placed, its geomantic significance will have an immeasurable role in promoting daily life and work and study.
The porch screen is mostly related to the door, and the porch screen of modern home feng shui has many manifestations of this function. Some homes are close to the road, others are close to factories, construction sites, garbage factories, hospitals, temples, funeral homes and so on. Such a geomantic field naturally affects the good or ill luck of the portal, and the role of the porch screen is highlighted.
Therefore, when modern geomantic omen uses screens for others, the purpose is mostly to dissolve Shaqi. Obviously, the screen can block the line of sight and the wind, but it is useful and still small. We know that qi in Feng Shui, whether it is auspicious qi or suffocating qi, is an energy field, which appears in the form of waves. Energy waves are penetrating. Just like the radio waves emitted by our mobile phones. When we close the door in the house, we will get a phone call, because radio waves are penetrating. So how can we stop those unfavorable fields and waves? How can I play the role of a screen?
