Feng Shui is a cultural tradition with a long history in the Han ethnic group, also known as Wuqing or Qingnang, which is scientifically referred to as geomancy. Wind represents vitality and field energy, while water represents flow and change. In modern times, some floor style houses generally do not have a courtyard. Of course, some high-end and luxurious villas have independent courtyards. With the improvement of quality of life, people also pay more attention to enjoyment, and the courtyard is a good place for them to relax and enjoy themselves. Flowers and trees in courtyard design can purify the surrounding air and bring joy to people. Mountains can bring prosperity, water can gather wealth, and the combination of mountains and waters can complement each other. Excellent courtyard design can improve the surrounding atmosphere of a residence and enhance the lives and work of residents. Let’s take a look at the knowledge of courtyard feng shui on the official website of Chinese Feng Shui, Feng Shui Jun!

One。 Living Water and Wealth

Among the elements that make up the auspicious feng shui of a courtyard, water is one of the most important components。 There are various forms of water bodies in courtyard feng shui, ranging from large ponds, swimming pools, and fountains to small bowls of clear water, all of which can enhance the vitality of the house。 Therefore, the feng shui of both the interior and exterior of the courtyard water grid cannot be ignored。 Generally, good luck and water in the courtyard play the following roles in feng shui for the home。

1。 Water pools that can store wind and gather air, such as swimming pools, ponds, etc。 , should be designed in a circular shape with shallow water on all sides and slightly inclined inward towards residential buildings (with the circular side facing forward)。 From the perspective of Feng Shui, this design can store wind and gather qi, increasing the freshness and comfort of living space。

2。 It reflects the elegant character of the homeowner, and from a feng shui perspective, the shape of the pond is preferably semi-circular。

If the fountain, swimming pool, and pond are designed in a square, trapezoidal, or ditch shape, it is easy to create a bottomless water depth, which is very dangerous for people playing in the water, especially children。

If there is a fountain pool。 The exterior design of a swimming pool/pond has sharp corners, and if these corners are facing the entrance, they will be reflected into the house due to the effect of light, that is, the reflection of water surface。 Feng Shui believes that such reflection will cause unhealthy conditions for the homeowner。

II。 Flowers, plants, and trees

The peripheral part of a courtyard style residence, with the beautiful combination of flowers, plants, trees, rockeries, and flowing water in the courtyard, and a reasonable layout, can make the feng shui of the entire residence beneficial to the physical and mental health of the homeowner and the prosperity of the house atmosphere。 Therefore, the courtyard vegetation is also an important means of feng shui assistance。

Planting large trees in the courtyard is a major taboo in feng shui, and its practical value is not high, with many inconveniences。 In summary, there are several unfavorable factors:

Planting large trees in the courtyard will definitely affect the lighting。 Tall trees can block doors and windows, hinder sunlight from entering the interior, and result in dark and damp conditions in residential areas, which is not conducive to the health of residents。

Planting large trees in the courtyard also affects ventilation and hinders the communication of fresh air between the residence and the courtyard, resulting in the inability to quickly eliminate indoor moisture and turbidity, making the residential environment dark and humid, which is not conducive to health。

3。 Large trees should not be planted in the courtyard, as their roots have strong growth and absorb a lot of water, which can easily damage the foundation and affect the safety of the residence。

Traditionally, it is believed that tall numbers can easily extend several roots under a house, hindering the stability of the foundation。 Tree roots growing or dying under a house can pose a potential threat to its safety。

If large trees are planted in the courtyard, they will occupy a considerable area and make the courtyard appear narrow。 On the other hand, large trees have many leaves, and when the wind blows, fallen leaves cover the ground, making it difficult to clean and affecting the cleanliness of the courtyard。

Planting trees in the courtyard was more important for ornamental purposes than practical value in ancient times, but now it is the opposite。 In addition to being used to dry clothes and cool off, the courtyard is also a good place for recreation and gatherings。 If big trees are planted in the courtyard, it will reduce the activity space。 Planting some flowers and plants in the courtyard is not only a decoration, but also a pleasure。 Setting aside time in the morning and evening to trim flowers and plants or weed and irrigate water is also a healthy exercise that can increase the lifespan of the elderly。

People who like flowers and trees can design a courtyard garden, but they need to have skills and proper layout; It can be captivating and pleasing to the eye。
