Throughout the ages, people's attention to home feng shui has never diminished, and various sayings and proverbs have been passed down in family decorations. One of the well-known sayings is:"If you put the mirror in three places, it is difficult for the family to get rich if you are poor. ”
What kind of feng shui wisdom is behind this saying?Is it really not a general superstition?This article will delve into this ancient saying, and combine it with modern science and practical life, and ...... it
In traditional Chinese culture, the bedroom has always been regarded as the most private space. Sleep quality directly affects a person's mental state and physical health.
However, if you have a mirror in the bedroom facing the bed, it is not conducive to getting a good night's sleep. Because the reflection in the mirror can easily make people nervous, making it difficult to fall asleep.
And sleep is supposed to be a quiet time without outside distractions. However, reflections from mirrors can disrupt the atmosphere of the space and prevent the owner from sleeping peacefully.
Day after day, the owner's nervous and psychological state is inevitably negatively affected. In severe cases, it may lead to depression, anxiety and other problems. This undoubtedly hurts the body and mind, and even weakens the energy and determination to get rich.
So in order to ensure a healthy sleep, we must avoid putting mirrors in the bedroom facing the bed. This is by no means superstition, but a very scientific and reasonable requirement.
In traditional Chinese beliefs, the entrance is considered to be the entrance and exit point for luck and wealth. Therefore, many people will place mirrors at the entrance to "drive away evil spirits and avoid evil" or "attract wealth and treasure".
Indeed, this practice stems from China's long-standing traditional culture and national character that values Feng Shui. However, in today's society, we should look at this issue with a rational and scientific attitude.
In terms of actual living conditions, the entrance space is already limited. Mirrors can easily be damaged by frequent family visits. Large-area specular reflection is also easy to cause visual confusion and increase psychological pressure.
Therefore, the entrance is indeed the most inappropriate place to place mirrors in the home. This is not a superstition, but a practical consideration for safety, beauty, comfort, etc.
If a mirror is placed at the entrance, the inconvenience caused is far greater than the so-called "avoiding evil and attracting good fortune". This not only affects the quality of life, but also does not make the family fortune rich.
Another important point in the traditional concept is that it is taboo to put a mirror in front of the stove in the kitchen. The meaning behind this taboo is worth pondering.
The kitchen is an important place in family life and the main circulation area of wealth. Many Feng Shui masters have pointed out that the stove in the kitchen is where the "fire" is located, which is directly related to the family's livelihood and money.
If you place a reflective mirror above the stove, you are "shining" the stove fire repeatedly. And the stove itself is a symbol of the family's livelihood. Such repeated shining is a metaphor for the inability of livelihoods to gain a firm foothold and the inability of family businesses to develop stably.
Whether this traditional belief is superstitious or not is debatable. But the moral is worth pondering: if we want our family to get better and better, our livelihood must be stable;If the livelihood fluctuates too much, it will be difficult to lay the foundation for the growth of the family business.
In general, the prohibition of mirrors facing the stove is more of a symbol and warning, reminding housewives to pay attention to the kitchen as the lifeblood of the family's economy, so that their livelihoods can be stable and upward.
From the above analysis, we can see that the various traditional theories about mirror feng shui are not unreasonable superstitions.
On the contrary, these proverbs are symbolically guiding people on how to be more rational about life and how to act more prudently.
The mirror itself does not directly affect our fortunes, but we should draw wisdom from them and reflect on how we can improve our lifestyle and improve the quality of our work and life. This is the essence of these traditional proverbs.
So, we should not simply classify it as superstition. Only by correctly understanding the true meaning of these traditional concepts and understanding the wisdom contained in them can we live more wisely and maturely in modern society.
This seemingly superstitious old saying actually reflects the ancient Chinese people's consideration and conception of space fortune. When we make a wise choice to remove the dross and extract the best from it, these traditional Feng Shui concepts still contain a certain amount of wisdom.
We don't have to be convinced, and we don't need to deny it outright. The correct attitude is to combine historical and cultural inheritance with practical needs. This is the best way to grasp the modernity based on tradition.
Maybe one day, when you and I are confused by the complicated choices of life, we might as well go back to those old proverbs. The mountains are not tired of being high, the sea is not tired of being deep, and the wisdom of this world is endless!
