The feng shui effect of threshold stones: evil will not invade the inside and blessings will not leak out.
At the entrance of a traditional Chinese house, there must be a threshold. People must cross the threshold when entering or exiting the door. The height of the threshold also represents the status of the owner. Today's threshold stones are not that high, but they still play a certain feng shui role. This issue's door feng shui guides you to understand the feng shui effect of threshold stones.
The importance of thresholds. The threshold originally refers to the crossbar under the door. There must be a threshold at the entrance of a traditional Chinese house. People must cross the threshold when entering or exiting the door, which acts as a buffer for steps and blocks external forces. In ancient times, the threshold was knee-high. Today's threshold is no longer that high, only about an inch. In addition to being made of wood, it is also made of narrow and long stone strips fixed on the ground between the iron gate and the gate.
The threshold also clearly separates the house from the outside world. At the same time, the threshold can not only block wind and dust, but also keep out all kinds of reptiles. Therefore, it has great practical value and is useful for blocking the outside world. Unfavorable factors and preventing the leakage of wealth all play a certain role, which is of great importance to residential Feng Shui.
What you need to pay attention to when placing the threshold is:
The color of the threshold should match the color of the door and be careful to prevent breakage. A broken threshold is just like a broken beam in the house, which is the main culprit. If the threshold is intact, the energy of the house will flow smoothly, but if the threshold is broken, the luck will be stagnant. Therefore, if the threshold is broken, it must be replaced as soon as possible.
Question: I wonder if there is any particularity about which door needs to have a threshold stone and which door does not?
Answer: The threshold stone refers to a stone with different materials or different functions. It is usually the stone on the door frame. For example, the stone on the ground within the door frame between the living room and the bedroom, between the living room and the kitchen, and between the living room and the toilet.
As a part of the door, the threshold stone has been ignored by modern people. The threshold originally refers to the crossbar under the door. There must be a threshold at the entrance of the door of traditional Chinese houses. People must cross the threshold when entering or exiting the door. Cushion the pace and block the effects of external forces. In ancient times, the threshold was knee-high. Today's threshold is no longer that high, only about an inch. In addition to being made of wood, it is also made of narrow and long stone strips fixed on the ground between the iron gate and the gate.
In ancient Feng Shui, threshold stones, door piers, and horse-tying stones were indispensable Feng Shui objects. They were also symbols of a family's wealth, prominence, and status. The stepping in and lifting out of the threshold stone forms a "boundary" as it advances and retreats, which separates the house from the outside world and acts as a barrier, preventing evil from invading and blessings from leaking out.
The threshold stone has the function of blocking wind and dust in daily life and blocking the invasion of reptiles. This effect appears to be so on the surface. In fact, in terms of blocking wind, dust and reptiles, it also prevents external evil spirits, door collisions, and road damage from being harmful to the house.
The significance of the threshold stone in Feng Shui is to prevent the leakage of wealth, and to have the effect of making money and fish leaping through the dragon gate safe.
When installing the threshold stone, the first step is to start with the start of the gate construction. You cannot choose a separate date for installation. The installation of the gate starts with the time when the foundation of the threshold stone is laid (only the starting steps are not included). Completion date).
The functions of threshold stones
The functions of threshold stones are twofold:
1. When the materials used on the floors of two spaces (such as rooms) have different textures , especially the two materials cannot close each other. Use threshold stones to close (circle) the two materials respectively. This kind of intersection is widely used in many places and many types of work in construction.
For example, you mentioned the kitchen and the outside room. Since most of the kitchens use floor tiles, other rooms may not necessarily have floor tiles, but may be the floor. When the floor tiles are laid next to the door, they are often not integers (modulus); Assuming that the floor is also perpendicular to the door, placing a strip of stone between the two can not only cover the joints of the floor tiles, but also block the joints of the floor. There is a transition between the two materials. As the saying goes: "circle".
2. Another situation is that the height of the ground in the two spaces is slightly different (height difference), such as one or two centimeters. If it is fully adjusted, it will be labor-intensive and material-intensive. In construction, "threshold stones" can also be used to solve and overcome problems. It should be noted that the threshold stone used in this case needs to be "chamfered" on the lower side close to the ground, which can be a bevel or a rounded corner.
