The ancients believed that hanging clocks in certain positions in the house could partly reflect the fortune and life of the family.

Along with the development of the world, clocks have been created to specify time. More than a hundred years ago, clocks appeared in many styles, but most of them were classic and formal. With the development of the times, clocks gradually became popular, almost every house has a clock to see the time very conveniently. In addition, many clocks are designed very aesthetically, luxuriously and simply, placed in the house is a big highlight.

However, few people know that there are taboos in hanging clocks. Below are 3 places where clocks should not be placed, as advised by the ancients.

3 places where you should not hang a clock

Do not hang clocks at the entrance.

Going in and out are all through the door, the door is the place that connects the outside world and the house, and is also the "face" of the house, representing the status and prestige of the family. As something that is seen right when entering the door, it is obvious that the clock should not be hung here. Why is that? The ancients believed that if a clock is hung in this space, it is very likely that it will not be beneficial to family harmony. Moreover, "clock" in Sino-Vietnamese is "thi chung" which sounds similar to "chung" which means the end. People are very taboo about the word "chung", considering it not a good symbol.

Therefore, when you come home from work and see a clock as soon as you enter the door, it feels like you are bringing bad luck home. If you invite friends over and see a clock as soon as you enter the door, you will definitely feel uncomfortable. Of course, this is only a small group of people's opinion. But no matter how you look at it, a clock is not suitable to hang on the door.

In addition, children are naturally active, if the hanging position is low or the design of the watch is interesting, it is easy to attract the attention of children. If during play, children use too much force, accidentally touch the watch, if not firmly fixed, the watch is very likely to fall, causing certain damage.

In today's society, everyone's life pressure is quite large. The clock is always moving, and people also have strict requirements for time. Coming home from work, as soon as you enter the door, you see the wall clock. It unintentionally reminds the homeowner of the time and schedule of what to do after returning home. This will make people feel a certain sense of anxiety.

Do not hang the clock above the sofa.

Many people choose to hang a clock in the living room, even hanging a clock above the sofa. Choose a slightly larger clock, so that the wall behind the sofa will not be empty, and you can see the time, killing two birds with one stone. Although the idea is good, this is not the best choice. Similar to the entrance, people come home to sit on the sofa to rest, look up and see the clock, whether it is friends or yourself, they certainly will not like this meaning.

If guests come to the house, they will usually chat in the living room. The living room is mainly a sofa, but when talking, there is always a clock hanging above the head, which is easy to distract people. Moreover, generally, the sofa is placed against the wall, which requires consideration of a problem, that is, how high should the clock be hung and what style should be chosen.

Because most people sit on the sofa in a very comfortable position, if the clock is not hung high enough or there is an obstacle, the clock is very likely to fall and cause injury to the body. If there are small children in the family, it is even more undesirable, because the children may stand on the sofa. The sofa is very soft, not easy to injure children, but children will pull it around and want to touch everything they see. If the clock is hung low, once the height can reach the clock, not only will the clock be damaged, but the children will also be in danger. For safety reasons, it is best not to hang the clock above the sofa.

Do not hang a clock at the head of the bed in the bedroom.

The ancients believed that hanging a clock at the head of the bed was considered unlucky. From ancient times to the present, many people often pay attention to feng shui in arranging furniture in the house. In feng shui, there is a saying "bells and drums should not be placed near the bed". In ancient times, clocks always made a certain noise. When people were resting, the sound of the clock would disturb the quiet of the bedroom, that is, disturb the "energy field".

Nowadays, scientifically explained, people work hard all day, the bedroom is everyone's home, here people can have a comfortable and peaceful feeling. But the clock hanging on the bedside is always moving. It is the flow of time, even during the day, the clock is almost silent, at night it is quiet, especially when people sleep near the clock, those small sounds will reach everyone's ears, little by little affecting everyone's sleep. You may not be conscious, but the human body will react accordingly after receiving external sounds. Hanging a clock on the bedside for a long time is very likely to lead to lack of sleep, or very tired sleep, because this is an invisible pressure on the body.

The bedroom is a place to sleep, the pace of life should be slow. The fast pace of today's society has made many people feel pressured, if every day when waking up the first thing you see is the clock, it is easy to make people feel rushed. If this continues for a long time, it is easy to have psychological problems.
