The Orientation Theory in Feng Shui

The Orientation Theory in Feng Shui

To accurately judge the merits of Feng Shui in a house, one must know where the house is sitting. In ancient houses, they always wanted to sit north and face south, and their orientation was very clear. Because the house had only one door, it was easy to identify the direction; while modern houses were different, with the door of the unit building facing the door, and the facing of the door of their own house, and the balcony of the living room. The open part is larger, the room is transparent, and there is no feeling of backing, so how to judge the direction of a room?

What is the sitting direction of the house?

The sitting direction of the house is derived from the front and back position of the person sitting. When a person sits, the position where his back is located is "sitting", and the position where the front of the body is located is "direction".

The "sitting" of the house is the azimuth angle of the rear end of the longitudinal central axis of the house on the ground plane, and the "direction" is the azimuth angle of the front end of this central axis.

How do you express the direction of the house?

Fengshui does not use east, west, south, north to express directions. In Fengshui, more precise and different mountains represent different directions. For example: Zi=North; Noon=South; Mao=East; Unitary=West. I remind my friends that to understand the direction of the house, you need to understand the house of gossip.

Gossip is a set of symbols with symbolic significance in ancient my country. Use "-" to represent yang and use "--" to represent yin. Three such symbols are used to form eight forms, called gossip. Each hexagram represents a certain thing.

Qian represents the sky, Kun represents the land, ridge represents water, Li represents fire, earthquake represents thunder, Gen (gèn) represents mountains, Xun (xùn) represents wind, and Dui represents Ze. The gossip is matched with each other to get 64 hexagrams, which are used to symbolize various natural and human phenomena.

Eight hexagram names represent the southeast, northwest, etc. of the eight trigrams: the east of the earthquake palace, the southeast of the sunda palace, the south of the palace lord, the southwest of the palace kun, the west of the palace dui, the northwest of the palace of the Gan Palace, the north of the palace of the Gan Palace, the north of the palace of Gan northeast. In addition to the position of the eight palaces, the geomantic physiology will use more precise twenty-four positions to judge good and bad.

Each azimuth occupies fifteen degrees and is called the Twenty-Four Mountains. They are composed of the eight heavenly stems of the ten heavenly stems (without Wu, Ji) and the twelve earthly branches and the Xun, Kun, Gan and Gen in the Eight Diagrams.

A, Mao, B; Chen, Sun, Si; C, Wu, Ding; Wei, Kun, Shen; Geng, You, Xin; Xu, Gan, Hai; Ren, Zi, Gui; Chou, Gen, Yin.

The geography of Fengshui uses Mao to represent the East, Wu to represent the South, You to represent the West, Zi to represent the North, Xun to represent the southeast, Kun to represent the southwest, Qian to represent the northwest, and Gen to represent the northeast.

This is the main mountain of each hexagram, and its sides are biased to the other direction. For example, Chen, Xun, and Si belong to the southeast, and Xun is due to the southeast. Chen belongs to the east in the southeast and is called east-southeast, and the chen belongs to the southeast to the south, and is called the south-south. The rest of the twenty-four mountains are like this.

It can be seen from the above that the Bagua is divided into twenty-four mountains, and one gua governs three mountains. The relevant directions are as follows:

Zhengbei: The three mountains of "Ren, Zi, and Gui", also known as "Kan Gua"

Northeast: "Ugly, Gen, and Yin" three mountains, also known as "Gen Gua"

Zhengdong: The three mountains of "A, Mao, and B", also known as "Gua Zhen"

Southeast: "Chen, Xun and Si" three mountains, also known as "Xun Gua"

Zhengnan: The three mountains of "Bing, Wu, Ding", also known as "Li Gua"

Southwest: The three mountains of "Wei, Kun, and Shen", also known as "Kun Gua"

Zhengxi: The three mountains of "Geng, You and Xin", also known as "Duigua"

Northwest: "Xu, Qian, and Hai" 3 mountains, also known as "Qian Gua"

How to determine the sitting direction of the house

Through the introduction, my friends already know the location of the Twenty-Four Mountains. Now you can determine where you are sitting in your house. The method is:

Find the central point in the house, which is the "pole point" in Feng Shui level theory. At this pole, first use a compass and other instruments to find out the true north and south of the house, and then gradually radiate a line of twenty-four directions based on the house’s south, east, and northwest. If you are professional, you can use Liji Gui to help you get the relevant directions of the house.

The things you need to pay attention to when determining the orientation of your house include:

·In fact, any sitting direction includes two aspects: the sitting direction of the house and the sitting direction of the door. This is something everyone should pay attention to.

·The sitting direction of the door and the house are the same, but also different. The shape of modern urban houses is complex, and the seating direction needs to be analyzed in detail.

· Generally speaking, the sitting direction of the house is determined by the air intake, that is, the side with the large air receiving area is the direction.

· Generally, the door direction of villas and courtyard houses is the same as the direction of the house, while the building has a balcony as the direction. For example, in some houses, the living room balcony is very large, so the air intake is the largest, so the balcony should be the direction. The door can be regarded as an air inlet, if the door is in auspicious position, it is auspicious.

The issue of housing orientation is more complicated. What meets the requirements of feng shui level science is that the house has a lean after sitting, the front is open, there is support on the left and right, and the orientation must be able to absorb the qi, not the bad qi. Sometimes it is necessary to see whether the orientation of the balcony of the house can be incorporated into the vigor.

Which houses are facing the most prosperous? For example, in the Bayun House after 2004, Zishan Wuxiang, Guishan Dingxiang (from north to south), Choushan not facing (from northeast to southwest), and Choushan not facing (from northeast to southwest) (Sit from the southwest to the northeast) Wait for the direction of the seat to be prosperous, you can receive the prosperous gas; such as Renshan Bingxiang (sit north to south), Shenshan Yinxiang (sit southwest to northeast), Youshan Maoxiang (sit west to east) Waiting to sit is not prosperous.

The origin and the pole of the house are different. The standing pole is the center of gravity where the entire house is located. It is the place where the compass is used to determine all directions and the five elements. The origin is the place where people spend the longest time as the origin.
