What should I pay attention to when laying carpets at the gate?

More than 20 years ago, the author returned to Macao from abroad to engage in metaphysics. At that time, the Portuguese worshipped China's Book of Changes and Feng Shui. A friend of mine, Antonio, asked me if the front door was facing the garbage room. We were talking in English, and the sudden arrival of Chinese caught me off guard. I subconsciously asked him, "How can your front door directly face the garbage collection room!" " How can your door face the garbage room! ) The house design in the 1980s emphasized practicality, and most buildings made full use of space. But the author grew up abroad, which emphasized the living environment, and garbage rooms were not allowed in the building. So the author didn't understand Antonio's question, which is also a misunderstanding in retrospect today. Garbage is annoying. A house with a door facing the garbage room is not welcome. Even the house next to the garbage room is not welcome. In the same way, if the garbage pool, garbage collection station, garbage collection tank and trash can are facing their own doors (low-rise buildings), dirty air will rush into the house, which will affect the hygiene of the house. (1) Is it a crime to face the door of the garbage room? In feng shui, the requirements of the gate are very strict. We can't do this or that. Mainly feng shui experts regard the gate as a "mouth", and the mouth must be hygienic. If the garbage collection tanks on all floors of the building are not handled properly, the dirty air in the bad building will run through the whole building. The dirty air belongs to yin, the elevator belongs to yin, and two yin qi wandering, one heavy and the other smelly. (2) How to eliminate the sense of suffocation leading to the door of garbage house? There are many feng shui objects in the market that are wrongly used by the public to solve the suffocation of garbage houses, including lion head cards and bagua mirrors. The author Xiong Jinshen believes that the first thing to deal with the suffocation of garbage houses is to reduce bacteria and viruses, and the complete solution is to be hygienic: 1. The walkway is cleaned every day;

2. Lighting is installed in the corridor, which is open 24 hours a day;

3. Ensure that the garbage door is always closed;

4. Always close your door;

5. Add air freshener to clean up the dirty air;

6. Put the doormat. (3) What is the purpose of the carpet in front of the gate? Carpets are common daily necessities in families, and many citizens only know one of them and don't know the other. As the author asks the students, "What is the carpet in front of the gate for? Most students' answers are for "decoration". Carpet floor plays a role in keeping out cold and moisture indoors. The carpet in front of the gate, called "doorway carpet", has the following five purposes: 1. The static electricity of plastic carpet can suck away the dust in the corridor and condense it together to keep the corridor clean;

2. Initially clean the dust on the soles;

3. Take away the negative magnetic field (such as going to the cemetery, hospital, crematorium, etc.). ) Using the tiny force of static electricity;

4. Bring the local atmosphere indoors;

5. Decorative purpose. (4) The door carpet should not be in the same direction as the door. The color of the door carpet should also be considered. Don't use the five-element door to rush. The door is like a person's mouth, and the air inhaled is beneficial to the body and mind, while the carpet is the tongue, which will bring local air into the house. Since the orientation of the gate is directly related to the color of the door blanket, let's learn the orientation of the gate first. In geomantic omen, the five elements in eight directions are different: the door is in the east and southeast, belonging to wood;

The gate is in the south and belongs to fire;

The gate is in the west and northwest, belonging to gold;

The gate is in the northeast and southwest;

The gate is in the north and belongs to the water. Now let's learn about the five elements, namely, Golden Water, aquatic wood, Wood Fire, Fire Earth and Primary Gold. At the same time, Jin Kemu, wood soil, soil water, fire, water and soil gold. From this five-element relationship, we can initially understand that the position of the gate must interact with the color of the carpet at the door to avoid being washed away. Then we came to understand the colors represented by the five elements: gold: white; Water: black, blue; Wood: green; Fire: red; Earth: brown. In order to facilitate readers to choose the door carpet, the author made a table for your reference: in addition, the threshold color of the gate is also exquisite. In feng shui, we have a set of driving methods, that is, "the secret of the hall, the truth of the position." According to the law of five elements, the income is wealth, and the output is discharge. During the teaching period, the author noticed that many students' understanding of Feng Shui is limited to the influence of "flying stars", and a few people know the existence of local spirit. The doorsill and doormat are all attached to the ground, and the local atmosphere is called "local atmosphere". The so-called "way to make money" refers to the colors in the five elements. For example, the gate is in the east, the east is wood, and the five elements are green. Green items are very suitable in that position, which can consolidate the power of the East. But green has no "symbiotic" effect, which is equivalent to planting a tree in the forest. So what is symbiotic color? In the east, the east is wood, and water is wood. When we learn this, we should have a concept in our minds, that is, the East belongs to wood, water is raw wood, and water is blue-black. There is no problem with this concept. We should distinguish the definitions of "in" and "out" from the law that "in" is wealth and "out" is excretion. "Entering" means that we stand in the direction of the door, and everything that comes in through the aisle is called "entering", while the door blanket is in the aisle (in front of the door), the threshold is under the door, the door belongs to the mouth, and the mouth is the body of the house. For example, the door is in the east, the carpet at the door is green, the threshold is red, and the wood (the green carpet at the door) makes a fire (the red threshold). This relationship from the outside to the inside is the "life" in Feng Shui. "Life" means that we stand in the direction of the door, and everything that comes out of the house to the aisle is called "out", while the door blanket is in the aisle (in front of the door), the threshold is under the door, the door belongs to the mouth, and the mouth is the body of the house. For example, the gate is in the east, the doormat is green, the threshold is black, and the water (black threshold) is long (green doormat). This relationship from the inside out is the "birth" in Feng Shui. By applying this geomantic law, we can relate the color of the iron gate to the color of the wooden door, that is, the iron gate and the doormat belong to the same thing, while the principle of the wooden door and the threshold is the same. As for when to "live" and when to "live", we will introduce it in depth in the next article.
