What does the tuyere mean? The explanation of the tuyere

1. The tuyere refers to the opening for ventilation; the notch on the top of the mountain. The saying comes from the "Earth Movement Couplet" by Su Shunqin and others of the Song Dynasty: "The sun is dim and blind, and the wind vents are whining." The wind vents in home Feng Shui are also called "air vents".

2. The so-called "qi mouth" refers to the mouth where the air enters. It originally refers to the opening or depression in the mountains in front of the temple or residence, where the fresh air comes from. Therefore, the door should face it directly to attract auspiciousness. Later, "Qi Kou" was extended to the residential door. That is to say, "the door leading out of the door is the mouth of Qi".
