What are the important functions of porch feng shui in the past?
1. The entrance has the function of exorcising evil spirits and preventing diarrhea.
The biggest feng shui function of the porch is that it can be used to solve the suffocation of opening the door directly outside the house. The "evil spirits" in Feng Shui can be divided into "body evil spirits" and "qi evil spirits". Living in a house, everyone wants the eyes of the house to be beautiful and comfortable. If there is visual and psychological disharmony at home, and the environment makes people feel depressed and uncomfortable, we need to use Feng Shui to compensate. The entrance is an important part of the house to solve the external evil.
The establishment of the entrance can buffer the form of evil spirits. In feng shui, the form of evil spirit refers to tangible loss of face, mainly in the following situations:
Knife, also known as sharp corner shooting: that is, the door is facing the corner or sharp corner of a nearby building, and it hits the residents center like a wedge, which makes the residents feel unbearable and extremely depressed.
An arrow in the back hurts the chest: the road or street opposite the house is a straight line, which rushes to the house, so the momentum of the house's outward development is blocked by it, forming a road rush, also called street rush.
Ramp straight into the house: the house is in a low position and has to bear the great pressure brought by the high road, just like the flood rushing down the stairs and sinking into the house, so that the residents can't stop it.
The establishment of the entrance can also eliminate evil spirits. Evil spirits refer to the direction in which evil stars fly, because they are invisible, unlike visible evil spirits, which can only be calculated according to geomantic mathematics. If the head of the household is Dongsi Life, but the gate is opened in the west, northwest, southwest or northeast, and the gate collides with the head of the household, then for this family, it is an angry house.
2. The porch has the function of protecting privacy.
The living room is a place where a family, big or small, can sit together and get together every day. It is the activity center of the family and cannot be too exposed. If the living room is not covered and lacks privacy, everyone's every move at home will be unobstructed by outsiders. From the perspective of geomantic omen, it will be very insecure and unlucky.
The entrance is a buffer zone between the door and the living room, which basically plays a role of shielding, so that outsiders can't observe the life in the house casually outside the door, and the above problems can be solved. With the porch around, the sense of security in the living room will be greatly increased, and at the same time, it is not afraid of privacy exposure.
In the United States and Canada, the living room, dining room and living room of many houses are not facing the front door, and the stairs or walls stand opposite the door, which can avoid the trouble of sandstorm entering the house. However, the design of the Oriental residence is the entrance to the hall. If there is no porch, the door will be disturbed by the wind and sand, and sitting in the living room will be deeply disturbed. If the gate just faces northwest or north, and it is often attacked by cold wind in winter, then the porch needs to be covered more.
3. The porch can beautify the home decoration.
The exquisite design of the porch will make people feel bright when they enter the door, and the spirit will be refreshed, so that the house will suddenly glow. Houses close to the ground are often easily penetrated by strong winds and dust. After setting the entrance, they can prevent wind and dust, and keep the room warm and clean.
