What is the meaning of the gatehouse in the Feng Shui book?

The gatehouse is an important element in traditional geomantic omen, also known as "doorstep", "pier" and "column". The gatehouse is generally located at the entrance of the house, and its function is to point out the direction for those who enter the house and bring auspicious atmosphere to those who enter the house.

The design and material selection of the gatehouse are also very particular. Generally choose high-quality stone or solid wood, which is beautiful and practical. In the design of the gatehouse, we can choose different patterns and sculptures to improve the artistic value and aesthetic feeling of the gatehouse.

The feng shui of the gatehouse also needs attention. The height, width and depth of the gatehouse need to conform to certain laws to coordinate the atmosphere of the house. It is generally believed that the height of the gatehouse should be equal, wider than the door body, and the depth should be equal to the thickness of the door. Only by meeting these requirements can the feng shui of the gatehouse reach its best state.
