In traditional Chinese culture, the writing brush is inseparable. Throughout the ages, many literati have used this brush in their hands to express their inner thoughts freely, leaving behind many well-known and excellent articles. To this day, the writing brush also has an important Feng Shui significance. It can play a role in holding down the house at home, so how to hang the writing brush has become a science. Let’s learn about it together.
What to pay attention to when choosing a writing brush
Choose a hanging pen that is different from the pens used by ordinary people. It is a large brush used for writing large characters. In addition, fountain pens and other pens cannot replace the writing brush, because the fountain pen is a pen that originated in the West and is a Western thing. According to Chinese Feng Shui, Western things are not good for cultural prosperity.
The number of brushes must be appropriate
It is best to control the number of brushes hanging at home to one or four, because "one" can represent dedicated study and work. And hanging four is because the main palace of Xun Palace is four and the brush is four green, which should be the number of four together. The Wenchang position is also called Siwenquxing. The function of the brush is Wang Wenchang position, so four brushes are hung. It's the most suitable. Moreover, four also means the aspirations of the four directions, symbolizing lofty ambitions. When hanging, they can be arranged from small to large, so as to promote the improvement of learning fortune.
Attention should be paid to the position of the brushes
The position of the brushes should be particular. For example, one or four brushes can usually be hung next to the desk. You can also put the brush in the pen holder, which can also have the effect of promoting Wenchang position. In addition, the best place to place the brush is in the west or southwest.
Precautions for using brushes
After determining the brush to be placed, it is best to fix the tip of the brush with glue, because in this way the effectiveness of the brush can be fully exerted. In addition, since the five elements of the brush belong to wood, it is not advisable to place some metal products or items belonging to the five elements of earth next to the brush, otherwise it will inhibit the feng shui effect of the brush. There are also old or worn-out brushes. It is best not to throw them away directly, but to burn them, because this can avoid infringing on Wenchangxing and will not affect the development of Wenchangyun.
