Feng Shui MysteryIn terms of feng shui, the front door was not only the main passage for people to come and go but also the air vent of the residence, affecting the overall environment of the home. So, what kind of front door can be called a “thousand-gold door” and bring good fortune to the family? Let’s talk about it today!
1.The orientation of the front door is auspicious
The front door is facing the direction of prosperity
When the main door faces the auspicious direction, it is conducive to the entry of positive energy, thereby enhancing the energy field of the home and improving the fortune of the family members. Generally, it is believed that the main door should face the east, south or southeast.
The east is where the sun rises and is represented by the Zhen trigram in the Eight Trigrams, belonging to the wood element in the Five Elements. It symbolizes vitality and positivity. Therefore, when the main door faces east, family members can not only receive the first rays of sunlight in the morning but also promote their career and financial development.
When the main door faces south, the home can be bathed in sunlight for a long time. When the home is bright, the mood of family members will improve, and they will be more energetic when doing things, and there is also a greater chance of good news at work.
The southeast is the direction of wealth. When the main door is located here, it is more conducive to welcoming wealth and bringing more prosperity to the family.
2.The size of the main door should be appropriate
The main door should be the right size
Some friends believe that the larger the main gate, the more imposing it appears, not only making people feel more honored but also allowing the residence to attract more wealth. However, this is not always the case and should be considered on a case-by-case basis.
If the house is small but the main gate is large, it not only looks odd but also causes the auspicious energy entering the house to flow out through the gate before it can settle, making it difficult to achieve the effect of retaining and accumulating energy.
If the house is large but the main gate is small, it is also very unfavorable. Firstly, it is inconvenient for people to enter and exit, and it is also difficult to move larger furniture. Secondly, a small gate makes it hard for the house to attract more auspicious energy, making it difficult for the family’s career and wealth to improve.
3.The main door should open inward
The main door should open inward
In the context of home environment, it is considered ideal to accumulate energy. Therefore, the main door of the house should open inward so that auspicious energy can be better brought in. If the main door opens outward, it will easily send all the good energy of the house out, causing the family’s fortune to decline and frequent financial losses. Additionally, in case of danger in the house, it is convenient for people outside to push the door open, avoiding some accidents and reducing property damage, which is also conducive to the prosperity of the family.
4.The main door should be kept clean and tidy
The main door should be clean and tidy
When a front door is in place, attention should also be paid to the hygiene at the gate entrance. As mentioned above, the front door is the mouth for receiving energy, so it should be kept clean and tidy. This way, it won’t block the energy flow in the home and will bring more auspicious Qi into the house.
In daily life, some families have the habit of placing shoe cabinets at the front door for the convenience of people changing shoes when entering and leaving. However, remember to frequently clean and tidy up the area around the shoe cabinet, and the shoes should also be neatly arranged. Additionally, do not randomly pile up garbage and miscellaneous items at the main door, as this can easily lead to inauspicious energy being trapped in the home, which is detrimental to the interpersonal relationships and career development of the family members.
