1. Geographical Location Selection
    The ancients said, "Those living in the downwind area often laugh, while those in the upwind area often cry." Intuitively, the wind is stronger in the upwind area, making people feel cold to the bone, thus causing them to shed tears frequently. Scientifically, this involves the biological clock theory. Due to differences in geography and environment, people's physical and psychological states will have different reactions. The location of a house is an extremely important aspect, as it determines the feng shui trend of the residence.

"Backing on a mountain and facing water" is one of the basic theories in feng shui. "Backing on a mountain", also known as "rear mountain", symbolizes having support and reliance. "Facing water" means having an open front with a wide view, indicating opportunities and hope.

In modern cities, "backing on a mountain and facing water" is often a metaphor. For example, if there are tall buildings or slopes behind the house, it can be regarded as "backing on a mountain"; if there are parks or squares in front of the door, it can be seen as "facing water". Naturally, this also coincides with the modern scientific "blocking theory" and "view theory".

  1. Discover the Subtle Wonders in the Community Environment
    "The green dragon on the left, the white tiger on the right, the vermilion bird in the front, and the black tortoise in the back" is a symbol for choosing a place in feng shui and an important criterion for evaluating the feng shui of the housing environment. It emphasizes that there should be something blocking on both sides of the house to make the residents feel secure, and the front and back should be open to provide a good view.

At the same time, in modern urban planning, a community should be an ecological and harmonious environment. Greenery, lighting, ventilation, transportation, etc. are all factors to be considered. All these are implementing the feng shui concept of "happiness on earth, people in the scenery".

  1. House Type Layout: People Shape the Situation
    Regarding the layout of a house, the ancients said that the kitchen stove should not face the hall, because the "fire evil" is the greedy wolf star, which is said to consume people's vital energy. This is what is meant by "When the kitchen fire directly faces the main door, the family's fortune will be immediately damaged."

This is the wisdom of the ancients. When interpreted by modern people, it essentially refers to an appropriate spatial layout. The kitchen range hood makes a relatively loud noise, and the heat from the stove makes people feel hot, which is not conducive to a quiet and comfortable life in the hall.

On the other hand, modern architectural design tends to favor open - style kitchens. Besides aesthetic considerations, it also meets the needs of the modern fast - paced life. The kitchen is no longer a closed space but has become part of the social space.

  1. Interior Decoration: Achieving Harmony between Heaven, Earth, and Man
    The interior decoration of a house is also a crucial factor in feng shui. The ancients said, "The sky is round and the earth is square", which means that the interior decoration design of a house should try to avoid excessive sharp and angular designs, as these can make people feel oppressed and tense, thus disrupting the harmonious atmosphere.

In modern interior design, a flat and simple design is also advocated. Smooth lines and rounded corners are more likely to make people feel comfortable. At the same time, it is advocated to rationally use transparent, semi - transparent, and opaque materials to adjust the angle and amount of light entering the room, allowing residents to enjoy a good balance between natural and artificial light.
