Vestibule for Fengshui

Vestibule (Xuanguan) is an entrance for families’ energy. It looks like a throat of hose. The design of vestibule will affect householder’s money, fortune and heath. A good design should make vestibule bright, wide, tidy and transparent. It not only hide living room at the back, but also keep the money more and more at home.

Key points of good design for vestibule

• The divider between vestibule and living room is a key part. It can be a wall or a piece of furniture. The lower part of the divider should be solid and no-transparent, and upper part can be used bright or transparent material to decorate such as a piece of sanding glass. Wall or the surface of furniture should be smooth.
• The graphic on the floor cannot be rhombic pattern.
• Lamp in the vestibule can use square or round shape, but cannot use triangle shape.
  
• Don’t put a huge shoe cabinet at vestibule. Its height is similar as householder’s height.
• Don’t put too many plants there. A high, big, green plant will provide more money to householder.
• Lucky patterns can be put in the vestibule, such as lotus, fish, dragon, phoenix and lion.
• Mirror is not allowed to put on the wall which opposite the main door.

There are some images to show what is bad for Fengshui.

1. Don't put sharp conner forward to main entrance.
   

Be safe, glass at lower part of divider will be damaged easily.












Rough bricks might affect householder's health











More shadow is not good











Big vase might bring some trouble in householder's loving.











Clock cannot opposite to the main door. Clock is same pronounce End or Dead in Chinese.











Too much vases.
Vase should have some fresh plant not dry plant.











Don't put head of god and antique in Vestibule













Don't put crossbeam on the ceiling.









Don't put strong lighting under the divider.











The colour of decoration is too dark.











Because of mirror will reflect light, that will change the good things. So don't put mirror in vestibule as possible.

Lucky patterns

There are lots lucky patterns which were on furniture, clothes, windows, tableware, etc. I would like to choose some of them to my vase shape umbrella stand.

伞 - Umbrella

According Wikipedia.com, the collapsible umbrella is said to have been invented during Cao Wei in ancient China, roughly 1,700 years ago. The Chinese character for umbrella is 傘 (sǎn) and is a pictograph resembling the modern umbrella in design.

At past, people use bamboo to made the frame for umbrella.

At now, most umbrellas in global market come from Chinese manufacturers.

雨-Rain

China is the world's third- or fourth-largest country in area， so the climate is extremely diverse. It is tropical in the south to subarctic in the north.


This is the map for the average annual precipitation of China (Drawn by Alan Mak in March, 2006). We can see precipitation varies regionally even more than temperature. China south of the Qinling mountains experiences abundant rainfall, most of it coming with the summer monsoons.

In coastal area, there is lots of rainfall every year in spring and summer. Coincidently, that area also is economic developed region. Most people who are living that area are middle class.
