How to put the new bed?

In daily life, people spend one-third of their time with the bed, and they have a very deep relationship. In the home geomantic omen, the bed is also an indispensable and extremely important furniture. The quality of bed placement directly affects people's emotions and psychology, especially love and marriage, and then affects life luck. Therefore, since ancient times, people in China have been very particular about beds.

The first is about the orientation of the bed. As we all know, the bed should of course be in the bedroom. After choosing a bedroom, you can find a suitable place to sleep. The orientation of the bed refers to which direction the bed should be placed in the bedroom and which direction the bed should be oriented. According to the ancient geomantic theory, the bed should be placed on "the auspicious side of life and the auspicious side of the house". It means that the orientation of the bed needs to be determined according to its own horoscope, and the seats in the whole house have always been fixed.

For example, if the owner likes the wood in the eight characters, he can put the bed on the east side of the bedroom. If you like gold, you can put it in the west. When installing a bed, the direction of the head and the end of the bed is very important. Generally speaking, if the owner likes wood, the head of the bed should face east and the end of the bed should face west; If the owner likes gold, the head of the bed should face west and the end of the bed should face east; If you like water, the head of the bed should face north and the end of the bed should face south; If you like fire, the head of the bed should face south and the end of the bed should face north; If you like dry soil, you should face the bed southwest or northwest; If you like wet soil, you should turn the bed to the southeast or northeast. ...

While considering the use of eight characters, we should also consider the good or bad luck of sitting in the house. For example, for a house sitting from the northeast to the southwest (Genshan Xiang Kun), the divinatory symbol of the southwest (Kun) is a "symbol of Erhei disease", so when you go to bed, you should avoid this unlucky direction and don't sit from the northeast to the southwest. Of course, the tide turns, and even when you are in bed, it faces Kyrgyzstan, and bad luck will turn in this direction. At this time, you need to hang a string of six copper coins to melt it.

After the orientation of the bed is determined, it is also necessary to consider whether the surrounding environment is in harmony with the bed. For example, there should be no beam above the bed, and large chandeliers and ceiling fans should not be above the bed. If these things are pressed on the bed, it will not only affect luck, but also make the owner sick or injured. There are also some customs, that is, the bed should not be placed in the direction of the door, but should be perpendicular to the direction of the door. However, if the room is small, the vertical bed will be against the door. If the door is facing the bed or a part of the bed, a screen or curtain should be set to block it.

Secondly, emphasize bedtime. The bed is the most important thing in the family. In fact, the so-called moving is mainly to install the bed. Therefore, in the China lunar calendar, moving is called "sinking the bed", and moving in time generally refers to the time of sinking the bed. When to go to bed, we should first look at the China Zodiac calendar, choose an auspicious day suitable for going to bed, choose a good auspicious day, and put the bed in order when choosing a good auspicious day.

Not all auspicious days marked "bed-fixing" in the old calendar are suitable for bed-fixing, which also varies from person to person. From a broad perspective, when choosing an auspicious day, we should also consider the owner's zodiac sign, avoid the days of conflict with the owner, and avoid people who conflict with the owner in bed, so as to create a harmonious and auspicious atmosphere.

As for the actual time to put the bed on the bed, you can move the bed when you choose a good auspicious day, or you can move the bed and put it in the predetermined position before, but don't adjust it. Wait until the auspicious day, and then adjust the bed.

The third is the custom ceremony of setting the bed. These customs and ceremonies vary from place to place. Generally speaking, it is enough to follow local customs and rituals. These customs and rituals are well known to the elderly, and they can be invited to be consultants for bed installation. Among them, the common ceremony of entering the bed is to make some necessary sacrifices. In some places, there is also the custom of offering sacrifices to the god of bed. Since most of these customs have been lost or changed, there is no need to copy them mechanically. When you are in bed, you only need to worship, burn incense and pray sincerely in front of Buddha, Bodhisattva or Kitchen God.

After making the bed, the next important thing is to make the bed. There are also different stresses on making beds. In some places, elders are invited to make beds, while in others, brothers of the same age are invited to make beds. It is popular to invite unmarried women to make the bed. Not only is the content of making a bed different in different places, but there are also differences between moving to make a bed and making a bed for marriage. These different ways of making beds are nothing more than for good luck and well-being. For the specific method of making the bed, you can refer to the local customs and the advice of your elders.

When installing the bed, we should also pay attention to the material of the bed and the color of the bedding, which should best match the eight characters and five elements of the owner.

To sum up, in addition to the most basic rest needs, there are also the following needs that must be taken into account: first, unmarried bed separation, praying for the elderly to be suitable for each other and get married early; The second is to get married and have a good bed, pray for the love of husband and wife, and have a baby early; The third is to move the bed, bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and pray for good luck; Fourth, long-term sleep infertility, re-bed, pray for rest. The fifth is to sleep for a long time, go back to sleep and adjust your luck.

Bed is an indispensable intimate partner in life. If you put the bed in the right place, I believe that life luck will also be lucky and avoid evil, and it will change.
