Door Versus Gate


It has been quite disturbing some times, to view comments and statements of mockery of that sort arising from some anonymous people who does not have a clue of what Feng Shui is all about. The fact is the complication arise when the deciding factor of which is to use in the alignment process, especially to Masters whom are in favor of door tilting. Both SanHe and SanYuan uses both the door and the gate, with different purpose and intentions.

Gate is utilized when a community is of the concerns. This is true when we look into the establishment of facing in the case of: -

"... using the structure to establish the facing..."

As deployed by most SanHe masters. It is this gate that establish the in coming Qi mouth, in growth, versus the exiting Qi major Qi mouth at grave, establishing prosperous facing, thus making the trinity of growth, prosperous and grave in the SanHe framework. As facing govern wealth, the gate is the first line of entrance before the main door. A concept similar to the notion of three separation by the bright halls and three harmony as stated above. So, it is not really appropriate to jump into conclusion that tilting of the gate is a Grave Mistake, without first make known the method used.

In the case of SanYuan, have one heard of Castle Gate or Castle Door. Indeed it is the Gate, in question and not the door. The Castle Gate application can only be applied when the formation of the embrace squeeze the water exit, known as locking of the water mouth, with the establishment of facing of the house, in this case, the main door, 45 degree from the current prosperous locked water mouth to conform with the Castle Gate theory.

The notion of Qi Mouth in Xuan Kong again is quite different of that in SanHe. Tapping of Qi is from the Gate to the door. In XK, the emphasis is on the container of Qi, that is to say, the confinement of 4 walls with a main opening, the door. The notion of: -

"... Heavenly Heart Moves, 9 Palaces Altered..."

Could only take position within the 4 walls. That make sense for masters who deployed the DaGua method in tilting the door rather then the gate, so that the Gua of the door matches the Gua of the incoming road with the Gua of the mountain or sitting to be of the same family so that none auspicious matter is out of Gua.

Genuine masters of traditional fengshui must take the effort to explain to the public significant facts such as these, before the entire notion of Feng Shui becomes a mockery arising from pure ignorants and greed's. It will be rather a sad affair when notable feng shui practitioner are labeled tau kei by the more veteran one before the method deployed is being investigated throughoutly.

Mr Yifengshui,
You are misleading the public. I've talked to Master Joey Yap before. He specifically mentioned that tilting door or gate is a wrong method. Have you never come across the versed tilted mouth. Please check with him or if you can't access him then check with Master Hung or Master Sherwin. Please get your facts right. Mastery Academy cannot be wrong.

Soo Ching,

Thank you for your response on the academy's behalf. This article was written in response of another blog entry by someone, who happened to be an ex-staff of the academy, bad mouthing one master against the other. He happened to be the witnessed, or claimed to possess evident that it was the practiced of the so called "tau-kei" Fengshui master to twist the gate rather than the door without due considerations given to the method employed. Such butchering of Fengshui method be it XuanKong or SanHe is uncalled for. However I did not mentioned specifically who is adopting what method, but if you implied that the so called "tau-kei" to be of the master you had mentioned, I should rest my case. However, I must note that ancient classics only talked about sitting and rarely do they mentioned facing. Only the one who knew would had able to differentiate what I was mentioning, neither had I wrote of the classics nor otherwise? For sure, the academy you mentioned liked any other academies are run by humans and to err is humane but to forgive is divine. Have you gotten what I meant?
