What bonsai plants can improve feng shui fortune in the office?
From ancient times to the present, bonsai has always been a symbol of taste and status. In ancient times, Luoyang was known as the city of peonies, and the peony also had the reputation of being the national flower. Officials and nobles all liked to grow peony bonsai in their grand residences to highlight their nobility and sense of superiority. Nowadays, placing plant bonsai in the home or office can not only bring a touch of greenery and relax the eyes. From the perspective of feng shui, correctly choosing and placing plant bonsai can also have the effect of improving fortune. So what kinds of plants, and how should they be placed, to stimulate and strengthen the energy field? Today, we will discuss this question.
1. Age and feng shui bonsai
Age is a timetable for a person's life, and each age stage has marks belonging to that timetable. People of different age groups are suited to different bonsai:
1. Young people: the most suitable are the Four Gentlemen bonsai, namely plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. These four types of bonsai plants have been full of humanistic flavor since ancient times. For students pursuing their studies, growing this kind of potted plant can not only improve the visual experience, but also let them feel a humanistic atmosphere, making it truly a feng shui tool for stimulating and strengthening the literary fortune energy field.
2. Middle-aged people: many middle-aged people are still in the striving stage, so they can grow kumquat bonsai. In autumn and winter, kumquats bear many golden fruits, implying wealth and harvest, and are very auspicious and festive. At the same time, they can also grow peonies; peonies symbolize wealth and boost financial fortune.
3. Elderly people: most elderly people have already retired from their jobs and no longer pursue excessive fame and profit. At this time, they might as well grow jasmine or Milan flower bonsai. Jasmine and Milan flowers are fragrant and can scent tea. The branches and leaves of Milan can treat bruises, and the leaves and flowers of jasmine can be used as medicine to treat colds and enteritis, so growing these two kinds of bonsai is both beautiful and health-promoting.
2. Occupation and feng shui bonsai
In the feng shui studies of the I Ching, occupations are divided into the Five Elements. If these Five Elements occupations can be paired with some fortune-boosting items or placed with some fortune-strengthening bonsai, they can also produce good results.
The Five Elements occupations are:
1. Wood of the Five Elements: clerical work, editing, teaching, scholarship. Lucky bamboo, evergreen plants, and so on can be placed on the desk to stimulate and strengthen the wood energy field.
2. Fire of the Five Elements: the IT industry, telecommunications industry, and advertising industry. Poinsettia and anthurium can be placed to stimulate and strengthen the fire energy field.
3. Earth of the Five Elements: the construction industry, planting industry, and land management industry. As the saying goes, "fire generates earth." Earth of the Five Elements and fire of the Five Elements can mutually generate each other, so plants such as poinsettia and anthurium that stimulate and strengthen fire of the Five Elements can also be placed.
4. Metal of the Five Elements: the gold and silver jewelry industry and the steel bar and iron window industry. Lily and lotus bonsai can be placed to stimulate and strengthen the metal energy field.
5. Water of the Five Elements: the transportation industry, hotel industry, and tourism industry. Water-grown plants can be placed to stimulate and strengthen the water energy field.
