In ancient chinese culture, wind hydrography is a science of the relationship between people and the environment. Among them, residential windwater is an important component of wind hydrography, which relates to the living environment and personal dynamics of our daily lives. This paper will provide you with some basic knowledge on residential windwater so that you can make better use of it to improve your living environment。
First, the basic concept of “windwater” is understood. In chinese, “wind” represents the direction of air flow, while “water” refers to the direction of liquid movement. Thus, “feng shui” in practice refers to the positive impact of natural harmony on human life by studying and guiding human spaces (including homes, offices, etc.). It is a concept that pursues a harmonious relationship between people and the environment。
Then we look at some basic principles of residential windwater:
Location: an ideal dwelling should choose a place where the terrain is high, the horizon is wide open and the surrounding environment is quiet. Avoid being located at the bottom of the hill, on both sides of the road or near the source of noise。
Direction: the direction of the house should be full of sunlight and be able to avoid being directly affected by strong winds. Houses in the northern hemisphere tend to have a north-south orientation, while the southern hemisphere can choose a south-east orientation。
Layout: the layout within the house is also very important. The bedroom should be far away from the kitchen and the bathroom and the living room should be wide and bright. Moreover, various facilities at home (such as television, sound, etc.) should not be placed in front of the door。
Colors: in choosing the colours of a dwelling, too deep a colour should be avoided, as they may create a sense of depression. On the contrary, light can create an atmosphere of openness and pleasure。
It should be noted that although the above recommendation is based on traditional wind hydrography, it is not scientifically validated. However, if you are interested in improving the quality of life, it would be helpful to try to follow those recommendations。
