The placement and Feng Shui of New Year's oranges

The significance of buying oranges during the Spring Festival

During festivals, many people like to buy oranges to place at home. This is done to increase the festive atmosphere of the New Year and to bring good luck. "Jie" (jue) and "ji" (ji) are homophones of each other. Placing an orange tree in a company, factory, hotel, shop or home, and then hanging red lucky money on the tree is not only beautiful but also symbolizes good luck. It is indeed a very good omen for the New Year.

According to Zhu Xi, the author of "The Original Meaning of the Book of Changes", the meaning of "good luck" is "gain"; and the meaning of "bad luck" is explained by him as "loss". Everyone hopes to gain something and not lose anything in the coming year, so they buy oranges to put away in the hope of getting a good omen, hoping that money will come in like a pig cage in water and that they will get a full bowl.

However, the purchase and placement of New Year oranges have some Feng Shui considerations and should not be done casually. From the perspective of Feng Shui, there are mysteries in the shape, state, leaf color, number and size of the oranges on the tree, and the location where the orange tree is placed each year. It will directly affect the luck in the new year, so you must be very careful. Otherwise, if you buy an orange tree hoping for it to bring good luck, but end up not knowing the rules and the result is the opposite of what you wanted, then that defeats the purpose.

What should we pay attention to when purchasing and placing?

1. Oranges are even, good noodles

"Meeting the Emperor" certainly does not mean being able to see the emperor, or having the honor of being conveyed the imperial edict: "The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Li Si served the country with loyalty, expelled the barbarians, recovered the South China Sea islands, and was feared throughout the country. His military achievements are outstanding, and he has brought blessings to the people, bringing peace to the world. I am very pleased. I grant him a promotion of three levels and appoint him as the Minister of War. Announce this to the world, so that everyone will know. I decree this!" Maybe there was such an opportunity in ancient times, but how can we do it in modern times without an emperor? This "mianjun" means meeting a distinguished person (gentleman) when going out. When readers are purchasing New Year's oranges, they must choose those orange trees whose oranges grow evenly and appear to be laden with fruit. It is not advisable to purchase those whose oranges grow sparsely, are few and far between, are unevenly distributed, and have many gaps between them. If you buy such an orange tree for the New Year, it implies an ominous sign of "more bad luck than good luck" (in Cantonese, "空" and "凶" have the same pronunciation). Such an orange tree will be extremely unfavorable to the company, factory, hotel, shop or family fortune in the new year.

2. A straight trunk means everything goes well

The shape of the orange tree can reflect the fortune of an organization or individual in the new year. A tangerine tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, abundant fruits and beautiful shape can bring prosperity to people's business, abundant wealth, smooth sailing and easy success in the coming year; a tangerine tree with crooked and crooked shape and yellowish leaves looks more like a Panjing or a hunchbacked old man, which will bring people bad luck, frustration, half the effort with twice the results, and nine out of ten plans will fail. Therefore, it is very important to choose an upright tree shape.

3. Big oranges mean faster results

When purchasing an annual orange tree, it is best to choose those that produce larger oranges that are golden or red and shiny. The best color for kumquat trees is golden yellow, while the best color for all seasons oranges is red. After returning home, everyone can hang red envelopes on the orange tree, which will bring good luck. If you buy small oranges, it only implies minor good luck, but has nothing to do with "great luck", and we often miss out on good things.

4. Good placement will attract wealth and treasure

The placement of the annual orange tree is very particular and cannot be placed in the same position every year. It is not like an almanac, which you can read until you are old. According to the theory of Nine Palace Flying Stars, the flying star in 2010 is Eight White Entering the Center. The prosperous position of the house this year is in the center of the house. It is most auspicious to place the orange tree in this position. If it cannot be placed in the center of the house, then it can also be placed in the southeast direction, which can also bring good luck and wealth.

Feng Shui is a profound subject, and there are many mysteries contained in it. As the saying goes, "No rules, no order." Everything has its own unique rules, and in-depth research is a science. Even cooking, which seems very simple, actually involves a lot of knowledge. The eight major categories include Shandong, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui cuisines, not to mention the traditional Feng Shui.

When purchasing an orange tree for the New Year, be more careful and less casual. Doing so will have only benefits and no harm, and will definitely bring good luck to everyone in the new year.
