Interior renovation and feng shui of old houses

Interior renovation and feng shui of old houses

According to traditional requirements, the Chinese make minor repairs to old houses once in 30 years and overhaul once in 60 years, which is called "Continuing Qi". It can be seen that the repair of the house is very important for the circulation of qi and the balance of yin and yang. For example, broken doors and windows, disrepaired and messy living room and bedroom, kitchen and bathroom blocked water pipes, all look like the body of a patient and need treatment.

Feng Shui theory believes that door maintenance is extremely important. The door symbolizes the mouth of a person, and it is in charge of receiving breath. Therefore, the door must be easy to open, so the door button must be lubricated. Otherwise, the screaming sound of the owner's hard opening and closing of the door will not only disperse the indoor air, but also damage the occupant's body. The door should also prevent the two doors from colliding with each other and making creaking noises, which will hurt your breath and lose money. The window is like a human nostril, which will also affect the health of the occupants, and it must be repaired in time. Otherwise, the long-term disrepair of doors and windows is like a person’s mouth and nose. It is either a cold or a sore in the mouth and nose. The occupants will feel uncomfortable.

In addition, Feng Shui theory believes that leaking roofs should be repaired in time. Otherwise, a Chinese folk rumor should be followed: "People have three fears: leaking houses, broken pots, and sick wives." This is also unlucky. Leaking the room can easily destroy the air balance in the room.

In short, a house is always from new to old. Some people renovate their homes every three to five years or seven to eight years, which is to "renew their breath", which is like treating and recuperating patients. They believe that this will bring good luck.
