Everyone should have a place in the world where he can come and relax. Many people buy houses and apartments in order to be able to come in the cozy nest in the evening after work.
Let's figure it out
Home is a special place for every person. In it, we feel confident and protected, especially if the interior is comfortable and executed in accordance with the rules and harmonious.
From ancient times, people use signs for a favorable home atmosphere, for example, it is known that a cat should be allowed into a new apartment or house first and put a bed where it lies. Based on various similar signs, the Chinese art of creating coziness in the house was created. Feng Shui can help with the right arrangement.
In this article, we will talk about how to correctly apply luck characters in the interior, as well as what it is and what they mean.
The science
As you know, Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese art of home decoration in accordance with the laws of harmony, coziness and convenience. This is not quite a science, it is the art of controlling the energies of the human body and objects. Harmony, the energy of life and creativity - this is what lies at the basis of such art. With the help of Feng Shui, the Chinese attract luck, happiness, confidence into their lives. All this can be concentrated in the inner space of the House, the House with a capital letter, as a global concept, concept.
Currently, not only the Chinese people are interested in this art, but also people of many other nationalities are beginning to bring elements of Feng Shui art to their daily lives.
Literally translated from Chinese, the name of science means "wind and water." Everyone knows the appliance hairdryer, whose name is consonant with the name of ancient Chinese art. Feng Shui is the science of arranging not only your home, but also your personal space around a person, creating a favorable aura.
Magic elements
Talismans help in this matter. Since childhood, we know that a talisman is a certain object, spoken for good luck or success. With such a thing, we went to exams, took with us on important matters, or when there was a need to leave for a long time from our parents' home (for example, to a children's camp). In adulthood, talismans no longer have that childish magical power (when absolutely any item or toy could be mistaken for them). But some talismans are still present in adult life. In Feng Shui, these are the Chinese characters for "love," "happiness," "luck."
Symbolism
As you know, the Chinese language, or, as some linguists believe, a group of dialects, has more than eighty thousand different characters! At the same time, to understand about eighty percent of such speech, it is enough to know only five hundred characters! Well, if a person knows a thousand of these characters, then he will already be able to understand ninety-one percent of Chinese texts. Hieroglyphs of fortune are the most popular characters in the world.
These signs consist of graphemes, which, in turn, consist of strokes, or features, from one to twenty-four. Hieroglyphs for people of non-Chinese nationality are not only symbols of speech, but primarily a beautiful decor element that is often used in interior design.
If, for example, you place the hieroglyph “happiness, luck, prosperity” in the bedroom over the head of the bed, then it is highly likely that you will unconsciously strive for happiness, and luck and prosperity will accompany you. This sign will lead a person precisely to the happiness that he imagines himself, because for different people this concept means different.
Some people think that the main happiness in life is the home and family, someone needs creative success, while someone thinks that happiness is freedom and travel. In any case, unconsciously, fate leads a person to what he wants.
Chinese luck signs are good gift ideas. Interior items, which contain, for example, the characters "happiness", "luck", "wealth", will not only become an adornment of your Chinese-style living room, but will also attract joy to your home, because if you surround yourself with positive objects, then and events, and people around a person will strive for good. The inner disposition of a person to virtuous joy is very important.
Lucky Symbols
The Chinese sincerely believe in Chi energy, which harmonizes everything around, both the house and the person himself, his inner world. It personifies nature, the spirit of man and the harmony of his existence on Earth.
Hieroglyphics of fortune activate the qi energy in any subject or in the human body. If you carry them constantly with you, for example, in a wallet or in the form of jewelry - pendants on a chain - then success will accompany you everywhere. Of course, not all people believe in these signs, some believe that if you do not try yourself, then no charms will help. But why not check the energy of Chinese characters? Even if your house is not decorated in Feng Shui, you should understand that Chinese philosophy is not to blindly follow traditions and signs, but to tune in to the good luck and success of the person himself, to teach him to think positively. This is what contributes to the true success of successful people in life.
Using
Hieroglyphs “love”, “happiness”, “luck” can be inscribed as an ornament. Two or three Chinese details in the interior will help justify their presence, even if you have never been to China and your interior does not quite correspond to this topic. It is especially important to correctly place these symbols so that there is no overload. Fans, aromatic bowls, “wind music” - all this can help your interior to become more harmonious. This does not mean that the house will immediately become “right” in Feng Shui, but a certain Chinese flavor will still be acquired. Hieroglyphs of luck are just symbols, and not luck itself. Good luck is created by a person with his actions and thoughts, and not what surrounds him.
In your house should be only those things that you like. You do not need to place an object in the interior, the pattern on which annoys you, despite the fact that it was, for example, donated by close friends. Even if the best character of happiness and luck is depicted on this thing, but you do not like it, such an object will not bring anything good to your life. After all, as already mentioned, the mood for happiness comes from the person himself, the owner of this item. The pessimist cannot be fixed either with hieroglyphs or with some other Feng Shui symbols. A way of thinking is what determines a person’s actions.
The one who does nothing is not mistaken! If you will not strive for success in your life, then you may not bother to place these Chinese characters in the interior or among personal items.
The character "happiness" is best placed in the southeast, if you want to draw more energy from the universe. If you look closely at it, you can see that this graphic symbol is vaguely reminiscent of a window with a roof. All Chinese characters are drawn with historical imagery. A window is that hole into which happiness and joy are attracted.
Chinese characters are not just dashes and zigzags. They were created over the centuries, not by chance, contained the imaginative thinking of the ancient Chinese, dashes were the prototypes of man, mountains, forests and so on.
Some hieroglyphs
The Chinese character "happiness" is a window, as if a small house, and a man is standing next to him with open arms. He calls upon you the protection of Heaven and the Gods.
The hieroglyph “love” looks like an inverted heart, and at the same time looks like a flowering branch. He is able to attract happiness in a relationship between two.
The hieroglyph “luck” is simpler in form, a clear stroke, a square. You need to store it in the house, since the energy of the home enhances its strength many times over.
The hieroglyph “double luck” looks like two small windows and rises upward. The Chinese believe that if you place this graphic over the matrimonial bed, it will help to conceive a child, since from ancient times mother and child are a dual union arising from the love of two people.
Interesting character
For two, there is also a hieroglyph literally called "one hundred years of happiness in marriage." This symbol looks like two little men depicted by a quick stroke, under them a house, a Christmas tree is visible. In a word, this character protects the family from outside invasion and allows you to preserve love and harmony in marriage for a long time.
But if people themselves will not strive for happiness, will not respect each other and their parents, then the character stored in the house correctly, will not help them. The symbol “one hundred years of happiness in marriage” should be placed together, speaking important aspects of life to each other, identifying features of family behavior that will help maintain love and good fortune in marriage for many, many years to come.
Conclusion
Thus, luck characters are, of course, a good moment for interior decoration, but these small Chinese figures will not attract more happiness into your home than you yourself want to let in.
