A成语 called “sailing with the wind” literally means that a sailboat moves smoothly when it is in harmony with the wind. Conversely, going against the wind is like rowing upstream – difficult and unproductive.
Though invisible and intangible, wind plays a decisive role in determining the speed of a boat。 Similarly, wind also has an impact on one’s luck。
A rural saying goes: “When a strong wind sweeps through the hall, it leads to family ruin and personal downfall。” What exactly is meant by “disease wind sweeping the hall”?
Ancient Chinese architecture was centered around the concept of “unity with heaven and humanity,” meaning that one should align oneself with nature to absorb its energy for personal benefit。
Therefore, houses must be designed to harmonize with natural topography – having a Backed mountain corresponds to the Black Tortoise behind, flanked by the Green Dragon and White Tiger on the sides, and facing the Azure Turtle on the front.
Imagine a gourd shaped base formed by a mountain behind, flanked by the Green Dragon and White Tiger. This forms a basin where qi circulates and enters through the main door towards the Mingtang (sacred court)。 To retain qi, a screen wall is built directly opposite the main entrance, creating a small Circulation of qi within the house.
It’s often said, “A man may struggle for a breath; even the gods compete for a whiff。” This relates to the importance of maintaining balanced qi flow in any space。
Tai chi concepts emphasize that qi is neither good nor bad on its own – it’s about balance。 If blocked or stagnant, qi becomes harmful; if flowing smoothly, it brings positive energy。
When a strong wind sweeps through the hall, it disrupts this balance by either scattering beneficial qi or causing harmful qi to linger。
In Feng Shui terminology, the key is maintaining harmonious flow of qi – not letting it stagnate nor escape too quickly。
Certain building layouts are particularly susceptible to disease winds:
–No backing mountain: Lack of protection from behind leads to direct exposure to strong winds。
–Unstable Flanks: Weak or unstable land on the sides allows wind to enter freely。
–Front and back doors alignedCreate a direct path for wind to cut through the property, causing ‘through draft’.
Scholars emphasize that these principles are not mere superstition but practical wisdom passed down through generations。 By aligning ourselves with natural patterns, we can create harmonious living environments。
