Details
In classical Feng Shui, the main door (大门, Dà Mén) is called the Mouth of Qi — all energy, opportunity, and fortune enter the home through this single portal. Its condition dictates the quality of energy received: a clean, well-lit, unobstructed entrance invites positive energy; a cluttered, dark, or blocked entrance repels it. Specific rules include: the door should open fully without obstruction, not face a staircase directly (energy rushes up or down), not align with a back door (energy flows straight through), and have a solid wall behind it rather than a window (support). Modern practitioners extend this to apartment doors and office entries. The entrance mat color is also significant — red for fame, green for growth, black for career.
Claims and Evidence
“The front entrance is universally recognized in classical Feng Shui as the most important spatial feature of any dwelling.”
“The three essentials of a residence are the main door, the master bedroom, and the kitchen stove — the door being first among equals.”
