Why is Feng Shui So Important II? |

The balance of yin and yang in the home is more important than most people realize.
Qing Master Jiang Da Hong tells us in his great classic, Yang Zhai Zhi Nan:
“The first step is to analyze the natal chart of the house.
Where it is vacant should be activities
and where it is packed should be stationary.
“ Qi is led in from the vacant side and retained at the packed side.“
Fundamentally we can surmise from these statements that the active or yang area of the house should be in the front while the quiet or yin area of the house should be located in the back. “Vacant” can be taken to mean the area where there is open space, windows and the main entry door. “packed” can be takers to mean small rooms with few windows and no exterior doors.
How does this basic form impact modern home design? Of we follow these simple principles we will have homes that foster front yards being the place for children to play and adult interaction. The front of the house will be the family rooms, formal entertainment areas and home office. The hack yard will be a more yin space than the front yard. This area will a quiet space for private, contemplative functions. This area wire be a more intimate space for winding down. The bedrooms would be located in this area. The kitchen and dining areas will fridge the yin and yang sectors.
This arrangement will require the appropriate site that will give the appropriate forms to the appropriate stars for the highest potential of quality of living. There is much to be said for the ease and elegance of simplicity in home design. Imagine how living in an area that fosters neighbors talking to each other, children playing with each other naturally, and private space in the proper locations can bring harmony and balance to us all.
