During the reign of the Chinese Song Dynasty (1128 - 960 BC), the imperial carpenter Liu Peng developed and pioneered the method of using special favorable dimensions for furniture, windows and doors in the imperial palace. the feng shui line of imperial sizes appeared .
Modern feng shui masters measure imperial sizes with a special ruler, divided into eight parts, each of which is further divided into four parts and carries certain information. Each segment on the Feng Shui ruler can have both favorable and unfavorable meanings.

It is possible that you only need a few centimeters to be happy. But let’s approach the issue in a more general way and start with what surrounds us all the time - with our home.
How to use an imperial size ruler? What should and should not be measured?
All objects around you have both a shape and a certain size. In ancient China, they sought to ensure that these sizes were favorable. However, you don't have to measure everything with this ruler. It is better to pay attention to the size of those items that you use very often.
In ancient times, at the Chinese imperial court, favorable dimensions were used mainly when installing doors and windows, and when choosing a bed. We also advise you not to attach too much importance to the size of absolutely all objects in the house. It is enough to check the size of your desktop and bed using the Feng Shui ruler. You can measure the size of your front door, the size of your wallet or your favorite diary. You can apply imperial sizes to your professional work tools.
Try not to get carried away with imperial sizes too much. You should not use a feng shui ruler to measure the size of all the forks and the diameter of all the plates in the house or calculate the size of all your chairs. Use common sense and moderation. We encourage you not to turn your life into an endless series of constant measurements!
Correct house dimensions according to Feng Shui
As you know, there is no ideal. And the ruler of a Feng Shui master can make favorable adjustments. Moreover, you yourself can become such a master after reading this article. Therefore, let's figure out what surrounds us in our housing.
The first thing you should pay attention to is the size of doors, windows, tables and beds. .
The first thing you should pay attention to is the size of doors, windows, tables and beds.
From the point of view of windows, the dimensions of the frame, opening and glass are important. If negative dimensions are identified, this does not mean that it is necessary to do a major overhaul with a complete replacement of all windows in the house. It is better to follow a more reasonable and simpler path that does not require significant effort. You can do it in a simple way.
If we consider a table, then it can have a different shape. How to measure, for example, a round object? In this case, it would be correct to take the diameter as the initial parameter. But square, rectangular and round shapes are not all the shapes of objects that can be found at home. In this case, it is necessary to measure the distance of greatest distance.
But there is another way to change the dimensions of objects if they are unfavorable. Let's say it's discovered that the table is the wrong length. In this case, you should draw a red line (it destroys the negative) on the inside of the tabletop. This is done in such a way that the dimensions from each edge to the line are as needed. There is no need to measure the height of the table; it is not of fundamental importance. It is more important that you just feel comfortable sitting at it.
It should be borne in mind that various dimensions can be changed so that it is hidden from prying eyes. For example, if we consider doors, they are a symbol of the “mouth” of housing, into which favorable energy enters. The size of the doorway determines the Qi that gets inside. When they are unfavorable, the opposite situation occurs.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the Dream Interpretation: what does a bracelet mean in a dream?
Doors are measured along the inside perimeter of the door frame. If you want to correct incorrect parameters, use strips and slats.
Bed
Line segment values
The dimensions of the bed are of particular importance, and the Feng Shui ruler also helps a lot here. We spend almost a third of our lives in bed, so poor parameters can negatively affect a person. They affect dreams, causing nightmares.
It is necessary to measure the internal size of the frame where the mattress is located. The width of this space is also important. Height is not so relevant. If unfavorable dimensions are identified, you can use strips that are attached inside the frame. If it is not possible to replace the entire bed, then at least the internal size will be good.
Of course, there are people who may consider such things unnecessary. Just problems that you can ignore. However, from the practice of Feng Shui masters it follows that there are no trifles in this art. Everything is important to create harmony in a person and his environment. You can pay attention to the Bagua grid, hang talismans, identify zones in the house and activate them accordingly.
Why use imperial sizes?
Surely many of you have heard that in the practice of Feng Shui, favorable sizes of objects and rooms are often used. It is believed that every object that has a certain shape and size has one or another influence on our subconscious, and therefore determines our actions and the degree of effectiveness.
How fair is such a judgment? Is it possible that everyone who sleeps in standard-sized beds will necessarily get sick or be robbed, while others will get rich and succeed? Of course, this is not true.
In order for an event to occur, a confluence of many factors is necessary - favorable, and/or, conversely, undesirable from the point of view of Chinese metaphysics. However, many years of observations and practical research give reason to trust this teaching and use it in everyday life. After all, sometimes size is crucial.
Unfavorable dimensions
54-108 mm. Foretells illness. The first segment - 54-68 mm - threatens financial losses; the second - 68-81 mm - legal problems; the third - 81-95 mm - failures, including ending up in prison; fourth - 95-108 mm - loss of a spouse.
108-162 mm. This size is called division in Feng Shui. The first segment - 108-122 mm - promises failure; second - 122-135 mm - monetary losses; third - 135-149 mm - meeting with an unscrupulous person who can harm you; fourth - 149-162 mm - the possibility of becoming a victim of fraud, theft or robbery.
270-324 mm. Loss area. The first segment - 270-284 mm - portends a sudden departure; the second - 284-291 mm - loss of what is necessary; third - 297-311 mm - expulsion; fourth - 311-324 mm - financial losses.
324-378 mm. Bad fate. The first segment - 324-338 mm - promises misfortune; second -338-351 mm - death; third - 351-365 mm - disease; fourth - 365-378 mm - quarrels, conflicts.
Each part of any Imperial size (and in one size there are four) has its own energy. The first part brings good luck and money. The second gives security, but can also bring trouble. For example, the second part of the third Imperial size will bring financial and personal losses.
Imperial wallet sizes
A properly selected wallet affects overall well-being, financial wealth and good luck. The Feng Shui line contains 4 favorable intervals, 2 of which directly relate to money. The most convenient for everyday use and at the same time the “correct” size is considered to be a wallet with a length of 16.2 to 21.5 cm.
Followers of Feng Shui recommend choosing a wallet for storage in which paper bills do not wrinkle or bend. Crumpled and bent money slows down energy flows and interferes with savings.

Origin of the imperial measurement method
Imperial sizes originate from ancient primitive measurement systems based on the length and width of the fingers and palms. The calculation of favorable and unfavorable segments was carried out by sequentially applying hands. Since in Chinese teaching the right palm is considered white (Yang) and the left palm black (Yin), then, accordingly, the areas in which the right palms fell turned out to be favorable, and the areas with the left palms promised failure.
The imperial ruler is 43.2 cm - these are the first eight palms (trigrams), each of which represents one imperial size and carries a special meaning. Each palm, that is, a trigram, is equal to 5.4 cm. Today, palms are no longer used to measure objects. Followers of the Feng Shui movement use the equivalent in conventional units: centimeters and millimeters.
Favorable sizes
0-54 mm. The most favorable size. Let us remind you that each size is divided into 4 identical segments, which have their own meaning: the first - 0-13 mm - will bring financial success; the second - 13-27 mm - peace filled with values; third - 27-40 mm - all six types of luck; the fourth - 40-54 mm - will provide wealth.
162-215 mm. Provides support from a mentor and help from other people. The first segment - 162-175 mm - brings joy in communicating with children; second - 175-189 mm - unexpected income; third - 189-202 mm - great success for children; fourth - 202-215 mm - good future.
215-270 mm. A burst of energy, good luck. The first segment - 215-229 mm - successful passing of exams; the second - 229-243 mm - unexpected luck or justified risk; third - 243-256 mm - increased income; fourth—256-270 mm—high family reputation.
378-432 mm. The first segment - 378-402 mm - receipt of money; second - 402-415 mm - success in exams; third - 415-429 mm - wealth, acquisition of jewelry; fourth - 429-432 mm - prosperity.
