What is Feng Shui
Feng Shui, in ancient times, was a philosophy that studied the laws of the environment and the universe. The core idea of Feng Shui is the harmony between humans and nature.
The original meaning of Feng Shui is the study of choosing the right place. Feng Shui actually existed as an early form of geography in China. In ancient times, Feng Shui had significant guiding significance for the selection, orientation, and construction of palaces, residences, villages, and cemeteries.Principles of Home Feng Shui
The entrance cannot face the elevator, stairs, or corridor directly.
Feng Shui explanation: If the front door is facing the elevator or stairs, it is considered a breach.
Originally, residential areas were places where energy was gathered and nurtured. Nowadays, many doors are directly facing elevators and stairs, and the energy inside the house is completely absorbed by them, which can be considered a major taboo.
The main entrance faces the corridor directly, like a sharp sword. The longer the corridor, the more unfavorable it is for the home, which is called the Heart Sword Pattern.
Architectural explanation: Directly facing areas with high pedestrian flow such as elevators, stairs, corridors, etc., the entrance will affect the privacy of the residence, affect the sense of secrecy of residents, and cause psychological discomfort to residents.
The entrance door cannot face the toilet and kitchen doors directly.
Feng Shui explanation: Feng Shui is called “opening the door to see the toilet” and “opening the door to see the stove”, both of which belong to the phenomenon of great misfortune and can easily lead to diseases.
Architectural explanation: Facing the toilet and kitchen doors as soon as entering the house creates a negative psychological experience for residents.
The bedroom door cannot face the bathroom and kitchen doors, the entrance door, or even the bedroom door.
Feng Shui explanation: If the bedroom door is facing the bathroom door or kitchen, it will cause the door air to flush.
Architectural explanation: To prevent the odor from the bathroom and kitchen from interfering with the bedroom, and to prevent mutual interference between the two bedrooms.
The toilet door and kitchen door cannot face each other.

Architectural explanation: In areas where people often move around, if beams can be seen above, it can create a sense of oppression and cause psychological discomfort. Similarly, a chandelier should not be placed directly above the bed.
Route cannot face directly towards the gate, window, or balcony.
Feng Shui explanation: When there is a straight road behind or in front of a house, it is called a road rush when it comes straight towards the house. Due to the direct and unobstructed airflow, it is extremely dangerous.
Architectural explanation: As soon as you open a door or window, you will see a straight road extending in a straight line, which can affect the psychological experience of residents.
The dining table should not face the front door.
Feng Shui Explanation: The Feng Shui of a restaurant facing the entrance not only affects healthy Feng Shui, but also affects the restaurant’s ability to accumulate wealth.
Because the entrance is a necessary path for air flow in and out, as well as a place for negative energy to enter and exit, there is originally some wealth in the restaurant. However, because the restaurant faces the entrance, it will be dispersed by the negative energy entering and will take away the restaurant’s wealth.
Architectural explanation: Emotions should be stable when eating, and dining should be done without being disturbed by others. And the dining table facing the door affects the privacy of use.
Bedroom beds (especially the center and head of the bed) should not face the bedroom door and bathroom door as much as possible.
Feng Shui explanation: When the bed faces the bathroom door, the Yin energy will be heavier, which is not conducive to the owner’s physical health.

The bed facing the bathroom door is easily affected by the dampness and odor of the bathroom.
The makeup mirror inside the room cannot shine on the pillow position.

The room is missing four corners, making it difficult to live in.
Feng Shui explanation: If all four corners of a house are missing, it is a mansion of great misfortune and cannot be inhabited.
