Chapter 60: A Carpenter, Half a Feng Shui Master
Zhang Junping waited in the workshop for a while, and Chen Changyi led two people and took two floor craft cars over.
"Cartain Director, these two are comrades from the county sanitation department, come to help us clean up the garbage!" Chen Changyi introduced the two sanitation uniforms around him to Zhang Junping.
"Thank you two!"
"Manager, I promised to give them three dollars each!" Chen Changyi reported in a low voice.
"It should be, I can't let you work in vain, right?" Zhang Junping nodded readily.
"Fourth brother-in-law, let me introduce you to you. This is the new Finance Department Chief Chen from our factory!
If I am not here during the renovation of the workshop, you can find Section Chief Chen if you have any questions!
Section Chief Chen, this is the fourth brother-in-law. This construction team is led by my brother-in-law!" Zhang Junping called the fourth brother-in-law over and introduced them to each other.
Then he took Chen Changyi and his fourth brother-in-law around the open space outside the workshop.
"Fourth brother-in-law, go back and circle this area with a wall!
On this side of the road, leave a door to the east. If the door is wide, it will be 4.62 meters!
Section Chief Chen, let my fourth brother-in-law calculate how many materials you need, and you can buy them back!
We have few people for the time being, so we can only feel sorry for you, the head of the Finance Department, to take part in the procurement work!"
"The factory director is so polite. Let me work hard to build the factory well. Only as the finance department chief can I have a place to use it one day earlier!" Chen Changyi said with a smile.
"But I'm a little curious. You just said that the gate here is still required to be built 4.62 meters. Is there anything wrong with this?"
"Oh! I calculated the door width according to the Luban ruler!
Our carpenters used to measure the size of Luban rulers, and one Luban ruler equals 1.368 city ruler equals 45.6 cm.
In Feng Shui metaphysics, the Lu Ban ruler is divided into eight characters, namely wealth, illness, li, righteousness, official, robbery, harm, and origin.
There are four small characters below these eight characters to distinguish between good and bad luck!
According to Feng Shui, 4.62 meters corresponds to the first small character under the word "Finance"!"
"You... are superstition..." Chen Changyi stared at Zhang Junping in a daze, and never expected that Zhang Junping would say such a thing to him.
As a college student, he really couldn't accept this.
"Ha ha!
Section Chief Chen, this is not superstition!
In other words, Feng Shui is not superstition, but a very advanced spatial science and psychology. It’s just that the ancients like to associate things that cannot be understood with ghosts and gods!
In addition, for the sake of profit, some Feng Shui masters are also deliberately distorting the facts and exaggerating the role of Feng Shui, and deliberately making Feng Shui mysterious.
So over time, Feng Shui was covered with a mysterious coat!”
"Spaceology, psychology?"
"Feng Shui theory actually makes residences more livable through the overall layout of the space!
Let’s give an example!
Feng Shui masters can make the indoor light bright through the size and orientation of the windows, but will not cause dazzlingness due to direct sunlight!
Through furniture or other arrangements, the wind can be blown in more softly, but not too violently!
In the past, there was a saying that a carpenter and half a Feng Shui master!
Do you know why?
This has nothing to do with feudal superstition. The only thing that has something to do is that the role of our carpenters and Feng Shui masters is the same!
All for making your living more comfortable!
To give another example, you will understand that some people can decorate a room of the same size and place the same furniture. The room looks spacious and comfortable, while others can't decorate it. The room looks very small and atrocious!" Zhang Junping explained patiently.
"Then what did you mean by Feng Shui as psychology?"
"People have instinctive concepts of likes and dislikes. When you see something, you will have an instinctive reaction in your heart, like or dislike it!
Some things will feel very comfortable when you look at them, while some things will feel awkward when you look at them.
In fact, this has nothing to do with the things themselves, it is just that psychological concepts of likes and dislikes are at work!
Feng Shui masters study people's psychology and when arranging the so-called Feng Shui situation, they allow a certain thing or a certain space to get a psychological sense of comfort and satisfaction!
Going back to the size of this door, if the door is narrow, it will have an impact on entering and exiting the cart in the future. If it is too wide, it will appear too empty!
4.62 meters, like the golden ratio dividing line in geometry, is the best size!”
After Zhang Junping's explanation, Chen Changyi seemed to understand it, but it made him very interested in the carpenter industry.
This is an industry that can affect space and psychology, and it sounds very good.
"Feng Shui, many people can't understand it all their lives, and it can't be explained clearly in just one sentence or two sentences!
In the future, when we have time, let’s discuss it slowly!" Zhang Junping patted Chen Changyi on the shoulder and ended the topic of Feng Shui.
If Feng Shui is so easy to explain, it wouldn’t have been carrying the hat of feudal superstition for decades.
"Okay, although I don't understand Feng Shui very well, I'm very interested in the space science and psychology that the factory manager said!"
"Well, let me put it simply. My ancestors have a very philosophical saying, "Family harmony is prosperous!"
In addition to personality problems, there are also psychological factors for people!
For example, if a person is in a good mood, he will be highly tolerant of some things, and vice versa!
Feng Shui masters are space science and psychology, and they arrange an environment that can keep people happy!
Adjust your mood through the environment and keep you happy!
If a family lives in a room that makes people feel happy, will they be more inclusive?
If family members are tolerant, will the family be harmonious?
Then he corresponded to the sentence, family harmony is prosperous!" Zhang Junping explained another sentence when he saw that Chen Changyi was interested.
"It seems to make some sense!" Chen Changyi nodded while thinking.
At this moment, a group of people came from a distance, and before they arrived, they shouted at them.
"What are you doing?"
"What are you doing? Who asked you to come in?"
"Do you know where this is? Is it the place where you stinky farmers should come?"
The dress of these people, you can tell at a glance that they are not good people. They have long hair, bell-bottomed pants, floral shirts, and some even wear toad glasses.
Zhang Junping frowned and looked at the person who came, "Secretary Chen, do you know these people?"
"I know, they are all second-rate people in the factory!
If you don’t work hard, you will cause trouble all day long and fight!" When talking about these people, Chen Changyi had disgust on his face.
"What's wrong with the farmers? I'm here and need to say hello to you?"
"Boy, are you very awesome? Do you know who I am?"
"I know!
Just look at your clothes and dress, you will know that a group of little hooligans!" Zhang Junping smiled disdainfully.
