Geomantic omen of the doorpost: Why should the doorpost be straight?

Although doorposts are not widely used in ordinary houses, they are still useful in villas or self-built houses. The doorpost is located at the entrance and exit, usually a straight and thick stone pillar or wooden pillar.

Then, judging from the feng shui of the gate, why should the doorpost be straight? Come and have a look with me!

The reason why the doorpost must be straight, not curved, has both traditional geomantic principles and architectural reasons.

Curved doorposts are detrimental to the owner's dignity. Gates and fences are symbols of the owner's identity and status. If the doorpost is tilted or bent, it will damage the dignity of the owner. Therefore, people attach great importance to the integrity of doorposts.

From the architectural point of view, there is another important reason. Upright doorposts can only be strong, can withstand the pressure of the roof, and the doors can be opened and closed freely. A bent doorpost is easy to collapse because it has no strength to support it.

The bending of the doorpost also hinders the overall beauty of the house. The gatepost is an important part of the residential facade. The bent doorpost looks not straight enough, has no strength and has no gorgeous aesthetic feeling. If the doorpost is not straight, it will be unsightly, damage the dignity of the owner, indirectly cause people's psychological unhappiness, and the spirit will naturally be in a trance, which will inevitably lead to problems in treating people and patients.

The doorpost is made of wood, bricks, stones, concrete and iron columns. The following points should be paid attention to when building the gate by strengthening the gate post: when using wood as the material of the gate post, the wood should be carefully selected and the buried part should be burned to prevent corrosion. If concrete is used, most of them are tiled separately. The iron gate device is simple and durable, but it is easy to rust, so it must be coated with antirust agent. Because of the size, the door leaf can be designed as single door, double door, left and right door, etc. Portal posts cannot be built in a connected way.
