The first trick: pattern.
From a feng shui point of view, the orientation of the restaurant should also be the same as that of other rooms, with no missing or protruding corners. A rectangular or square pattern is the best, and of course, it is also the easiest to decorate.
The second trick: location.
The dining room should be located between the living room and the kitchen, preferably in the center of the residential area. This layout can enhance the harmony of the parent-child relationship. The restaurant should not be located directly below the restrooms on the upper floor, as the restaurant's good fortune may be inhibited.
The third trick: decoration.
Part of the family's energy comes from the food consumed during meals. Since the restaurant is a dining area, it is closely linked to the wealth of the family. The restaurant should be brightly decorated and lit to increase the energy of the five elements of fire and accumulate yang energy. Growing plants here enhances the energy and wealth of yang energy.
The fourth trick: murderous position.
The restaurant should be located in the center of the residence, but not directly facing the front or back door. There are also structural issues that should be avoided. For example, if it is a building-within-a-building design, the restaurant should be located upstairs; The windows on the left and right walls of the dining room should not be facing each other, because Qi can enter from one window and leave through the other, which is not good for the luck of the residence. Avoid using the space near the toilet as a restaurant. If it is difficult to avoid, the dining table should be as far away from the toilet as possible.
The fifth trick: Yin and Yang Harmony.
Arrange the restaurant in a space that is balanced with yin and yang, but slightly more yang. To increase yang, it is best not to place items that belong to yin in the dining room, such as portraits of ancestors or antique furniture. Too much yin energy is detrimental to family fortunes. On the other hand, too much yang energy can lead to disharmony in the family.
Sixth move: poisoned arrows.
Sharp corners and beams give off a sinister atmosphere. Furniture and bonsai should be used to dissolve the corners of the house while avoiding sitting under beams. If you can't avoid it, you can use a red rope to hang two bamboo sticks on the beams. The bamboo Xiao should be placed at a 45-degree angle, with the mouth facing downward, to dispel the evil qi. Another method is to install elevation lights, where the light shines directly on the roof beams.
Tip 7: Best table shape.
The shape of the dining table has important feng shui significance. The dining table is preferably round or oval in shape to avoid sharp corners. It symbolizes the prosperity and unity of the family business. If you use a square dining table, avoid sitting in the corner of the table to avoid being hit by bad weather.
Eighth trick: lucky numbers.
The number of seats at the table can also affect the family's luck. Theoretically, six, eight, and nine are all lucky numbers that are yang. Although the number of diners in the home is fixed, it can be used to decide how many guests to invite to a banquet.
The ninth move: Ji Fang.
When possible, each family member should sit towards one of the four auspicious sides of the natal hexagram during meals. Adjust the seat of the person in charge of the livelihood of the family so that he sits on the angry side. The mother should sit facing the longevity of the family, as this represents the harmony of the family. For children in school, it is best to face the prostrate position, which has the effect of prospering and prospering. If there are elderly people in the family, they can sit in front of the heavenly doctor's prescription to ensure their health. But this rule should not be too rigid.
Trick 10: Mirror.
Installing mirrors in the dining area to reflect the food on the table has the effect of doubling wealth. This is the only place in the home where you can hang mirrors to reflect food, and other places such as kitchens should never be hung as this can lead to accidents or fires.
The eleventh move: mascot.
The restaurant is suitable for the three immortals of Fu Lu Shou, symbolizing wealth, health and longevity. In addition, the ** of fruits and foods can also bring good luck. Oranges represent wealth, peaches represent longevity and health, and pomegranates represent many children and grandchildren.
The twelfth trick: cutlery.
Chinese are accustomed to eating with chopsticks and spoons, and avoid using sharp knives and forks to prevent rushing. Bowls and plates are often decorated with mascots such as dragons, bats, or peaches. Chinese like to drink tea after meals to remove oiliness.
Thirteenth trick: table manners.
It's rude to quarrel while eating, and it's moldy. Mealtime is a time for family reunions. A happy family is the key to prosperity. If you have an elder dining together, you must invite them to use it first. This is not only polite, but also has the meaning of blessing the younger generation.
