Based on the principles of feng shui science, Feng Shui Tam Nguyen points out the taboo errors in feng shui houses that we need to avoid. The house has a pointed shape Feng shui believes that: As long as the structure has a sharp angle, it will belong to “fire”. If the roof has a pointed shape, whether it is a decorative piece of art with a pointed tip or an antenna, it is considered “fire-killing”. The house with a pointed roof, leaning to the left and right is called “cold shoulder house”. This type of house causes wealth to not accumulate, the more pointed, the greater the negative influence. Corner house Feng shui calls houses with convex shapes as vacancies. A house in which East and West are missing an angle will inevitably lead to the energy of the Five Elements being unbalanced. However, if it is only the balcony protruding out, the area of ​​the defect or protrusion is small, it can be ignored and not counted. House in round, oval shape Usually, there are very few plots of land that are round or oval. From ancient times to the present, the land with such terrain has been used to build temples or Buddhist halls. People usually do not like to build houses on these lands. Because the soil is round, the oval shape is different from the usual shapes. Most of them belong to the generals. The air field around a circular piece of land is often constrained. Therefore, the circular topography has the meaning of restrictive, binding and closed. People living here show no signs of development, their whole life is poor and bad luck. The oval shape also belongs to the ferocious terrain, its morality is similar to that of the circular land. Small cavalry house with a lot of people Small rooms crowded with people make yang heavier, forming the phenomenon of heavy yin and light. People living in it are prone to lack of tolerance, short temper, and bad social relationships. They often quarrel, even quarrel. The solution is to regulate the light in the room at a mellow level, often using yellow light, opening the window often to let air circulate, making yin and yang balanced. The cavalry house is large and the people are few Large rooms, few people, only the area of ​​the whole house is large, people live in it less. This is a taboo in feng shui. It makes people living in it always feel lonely and cold. The best solution is to welcome relatives and friends to stay with, or find an object and have more children. Housing is like a prison Dai Qi is only outside the architectural object with aura, large facade, open look. This structure can pull people’s mood and motivation to develop their body and strength. On the contrary, the houses are like prisons, the main door and windows are not clear, it is difficult to identify the main foreign line. The direction of this house is also unclear, the qi will not be stretched. People who live in it also cannot develop their abilities. The house is facing the three chimneys Chimney, also known as “close to the sky”. Three chimneys stacked next to each other are called “horizontal”. High-rise buildings facing the chimney are often detrimental to the health of occupants. That affects the fortune. The chimney is like a pen, in fact it is “failed” (the writing is not good). The chimney is used to release exhaust gases when burning objects, also called “fire burning writing”. Houses facing the structure of three chimneys stacked side by side, children’s academic achievement will be low. Homeowners should put a pot of water or raise a goldfish tank. The number of six fish is the best choice, take Water and Fire. The force of the “fire to burn writing and writing” will weaken, and children’s academic achievement will also improve. * Information for reference, contemplation!

The old chimney built of red bricks is located on the campus of Pullman Hanoi Hotel. Photo: Qinghai Location of Pullman Hanoi hotel, formerly Tam Tile Factory or La Tuilerie Tonkinoise. The factory is equipped with presses to produce bricks and tiles; there are two chimneys 50m high, built according to European standards to draw air into the double tunnels of the kiln, each 100m long. The factory was built by Mr. Nguyen Van Giem, also known as Nam Giem. During its heyday, more than 600 workers worked here. The factory was shut down during World War II and reopened in 1956, and later became a state-owned enterprise.
Entering the renovation period, the factory and land were invested with foreign FDI capital to build one of the first five-star hotels in Hanoi but still retain a chimney. In the project of building the hotel, the designers once intended to destroy both chimneys of the brick factory. Fortunately, in the end, “historical evidence” was kept to decorate the hotel due to the demolition party, after the demolition of the first one, the price was too high for the other. Perhaps this is also a “destiny”, not a human effort.
Today, the more than hundred-year-old chimney looks so small and simple compared to the majestic buildings or the splendor and prosperity of Hanoi Capital. However, this evidence has contributed greatly to making Pullman Hanoi Hotel well known to many people, especially for those who love Hanoi and want to keep the old beauty in the heart of the city, which contains both cultural and cultural elements. history in the same space.
Priceless Values
There is a man named Martin Rama who fights tirelessly for the preservation of ancient Hanoi. He has a photo book “Hanoi a roaming place” taken and written by him, while implementing the project “Sustainable Urban Development in Hanoi – Sustainable Development of Hanoi Capital” initiated and chaired by him. The project aims to advise the city on how to develop the new and preserve the old. Anyone who loves Hanoi like Martin loves how to keep the beauty of Asia mixed with French architecture, the look of Russian onions, ancient China and a little bit of the wet rice civilization rising low and high, in the heart. City…
Today, Hanoi in particular and Asian cities in general have made rapid development steps, many commercial centers have been built but still lack a high-class commercial center that can combine shopping. with cultural and historical elements in the same space. In London (UK) has a Covent Garden, San Francisco (USA) has a beautiful Ghirardelli area.
Many investors find demolishing old houses and building new ones as the cheapest way and according to the wishes of people with money. But the cultural values ​​hidden in each brick or wall with hundreds of years old cannot be calculated in money. According to Martin Rama, an important principle that needs special attention is to prioritize in-situ resettlement for the original residents of Hanoi. He said that Hanoi is inherently attractive and unique not only because of its uniqueness in architecture and landscape… but also by its residents. Every Hanoian is already a cultural entity with great attraction, this value cannot be calculated in money…
Returning to Pullman Hanoi and its durable old chimney, I secretly wish, if only investors were like this hotel owner, understanding what cultural and historical elements are in the same space to be next to. The construction of the new building still preserves some of the old features. Currently, the Cat Linh underground station of the Nhon UMRT line – Hanoi station, with an entrance next to the Pullman hotel on Cat Linh street is under construction and gradually formed. We, the people of the Capital and tourists can completely go to Pullman by French-style subway and hope that 100 years later, there is still a historic chimney.
With another UMRT project, Line 2, section Nam Thang Long – Tran Hung Dao, international visitors can go directly from Noi Bai airport to Hoan Kiem lake, connecting from the modern place to the “sacred and sacred” place. pompous”. On that UMRT line, there is underground station C9 (Hoan Kiem station) which will be a link between the past – present – future, contributing to the construction of the capital of a thousand years of civilization, bright – green – clean – beautiful… The construction The metro station in Hoan Kiem Lake area not only develops transportation infrastructure, contributing to socio-economic development, it is also a way to bring tourists from all over the world to the heart of the capital. do, is the current hyphen with the thousand-year cultural values ​​of Thang Long – Dong Do – Hanoi. The story of the chimney column that survives the construction of a monumental structure is a good example of the success of an approach that respects the past. The capital of Hanoi has thousands of years of civilization, through a long history we have countless stories like that, the heritages carry with them layers of cultural and historical sediments that need to be enhanced and brought to life. new colors over time.

Panoramic luxurious museum hotel has 60 caves and 10 buildings. Photo: CNN This is the specialty of the ancient civilization to maintain the traditional history and culture of Cappadocia. Surrounded by a winding and natural system of caves, Cappadocia is famous for being a medieval underground city. In the past, thousands of locals had to hide under this underground street for months to survive through a historical period of resistance to invasions. Derinkuyu is an underground city located in Cappadocia, the Central Anatolia region of Turkey. Stretching 18 floors with a depth of 85m, Derinkuyu is one of the largest and deepest underground cities in Turkey. Mr. Omer Tosun is currently a local antique collector and owner of Cappadocia’s first luxury museum hotel. He successfully introduced the culture to Cappadocia, especially Derinkuyu, through a set of antiques. Guests enjoy the experience of exploring the underground city in Cappadocia. Photo: CNN “Imagine, people are farming and have to find shelter due to the attack of the army,” said Omer, referring to the hiding position of the underground people. Omer also explained that around 20,000 people had been hiding in these narrow aisles for months at the time when the Mongol army was moving overhead. Residents have taken advantage of hundreds of storage rooms, living spaces and even communication tunnels to stay informed about what’s happening on the ground. Mr. Omer’s hotel has been renovated for more than two decades. The hotel consists of 60 caves and 10 buildings. Mr. Omer’s job is to preserve heritage and facilitate visitors to explore these special historical sites. The caves contain many artistic values. The inside is fully equipped with a hot tub overlooking the fairy chimneys. “This is like the Garden of Eden. This destination attracts a lot of beautiful birds …”, Mr. Omer said, pointing to the peacocks.

Elizabeth Haenle, from the residence manager for former Vice President Dick Cheney, commented: “The US Navy, the mansion manager, will sometimes ask the Vice President’s family to move into this mansion. so they have more time to maintain and upgrade, something they can’t do if someone is in ”. According to US government statistics, a series of mansion repair contracts for the vice president – from building a new pond, upgrading a new $ 164,000 water tank system to installing heating, chimneys and air conditioning. air conditioning worth $ 3.8 million – in progress. Although the number of works is large, the cost of implementation is negligible compared to a building with an area of ​​nearly 300 m2. According to tax filings in 2018, the US spent $ 119,000 to upgrade the inside and outside of this mansion. However, the current construction contracts do not explain why Vice President Harris has not been moved into this place. Some people speculate the reason is due to work progress. The US government has not given any explanation for this delay. Villa Number One Observatory Circle dedicated to US Vice President. Photo: CNN. Some US officials revealed: “It is not known when the renovation will be completed. This makes Harris quite worried and disappointed. With each passing day, Harris wishes to move into this building. ” Located on the grounds of the Naval Observatory, Number One Observatory Circle mansion does not resemble her Condo in Washington or Blair House and is even more different from the White House. But at least, it’s less cumbersome procedures, less staff, and more freedom. “The vice president’s residence is like a calm place amid political storms in Washington,” said Elizabeth Haenle. At the end of the day, Mrs. Harris can go for a walk, enjoy the landscape of the country and can catch deer feeding somewhere. Despite the fact, this house is not far from the administrative center of Washington ”. Even Mr. Joe Biden, who used to stay at Number One Observatory Circle as vice president, said: “In the mansion for the vice president, you can walk, swim in the private pool, ride a bike. and exercise. All are located on the premises of the building. This is far from the White House – just a gilded cage. In addition, the vice president is allowed to arbitrarily make any changes at the Number One Observatory Circle mansion. Many people think that Harris and her husband, who love cooking, will always want the space to do it. Inside the Blair House apartment, where US Vice President Kamala Harris and his wife are staying.

Although Blair House is quite comfortable and luxurious with a gym, hair salon and full-time professional staff, Harris and her husband said: “This place is not feeling as comfortable as at home “.
