A rule that says the door's facing decides a household's fortune and a rule that says a sticking hinge should be fixed arrive in the same list, in the same tone, with no way to tell which is which. The useful first move is not to accept or reject the list but to sort it by what could be measured if you tried.","Sorting that way produces three piles. Some rules describe something you can put a number on today — a height, a width, a sightline, a pressure. Some describe something that would need equipment and a birth chart and a school you have already chosen. And some describe nothing at all. Only the first pile is worth acting on before you have decided anything else, and it happens to be the smallest.","The tradition itself ranks the door first among the three things it cares about in a dwelling — 门、主、灶 in 阳宅三要 — and the reason given is structural: the door is the only one of the three that decides both how you get in and what you see when you do. Both of those are measurable, which is why this is the one part of the list that survives the sorting.",{"heading":23,"body":24,"table":25},"The same eight rules, sorted","These are the rules that circulate most.

Everything else in the list is either a preference or a claim about the future.","Each of the four has a threshold that comes from outside the tradition, which is what makes them checkable. The rest of this piece works through the three that people get wrong most often, in the order the mistakes cost money: the draught first, because it is the one people misdiagnose as a haunting.",{"heading":69,"body":70},"The straight run is a pressure problem, and the number is large",[71,72,73,74],"A door at one end of a flat and a window at the other is the classic complaint: the place feels cold, doors slam, and the tradition calls it a draining line. The physics is the stack effect, and it needs only the height between the two openings and the temperature difference.","The pressure difference is Δp = ρ g h ΔT \u002F T. Take air at 1.2 kg\u002Fm³, gravity at 9.81 m\u002Fs², a height difference of 3 m between the door and the far window, an indoor-outdoor difference of 20 K, and an absolute temperature of 293 K. That gives Δp = 1.2 × 9.81 × 3 × 20 ÷ 293 = 2.41 Pa.","Two pascals sounds trivial until it is turned into a velocity. For a free opening, v = √(2Δp\u002Fρ) = √(4.82 ÷ 1.2) = 2.0 m\u002Fs. Comfort guidance for a seated person in a 20°C room puts the acceptable air speed at roughly 0.2 m\u002Fs, so the stack effect across that flat delivers about ten times the draught a person will tolerate.","This is why the complaint is real and why the label is wrong. Nothing is being drained. Air is moving, at a speed set by the height of the building and the temperature outside, and the fix is the same as for any draught: break the path, or close one end. A console, a screen or a rug across the line reduces the effective opening; closing the bathroom door at the far end does more.",{"heading":76,"body":77},"The screen only has to be as wide as the sightline",[78,79,80],"The second most common mistake is a screen that is either far too large or in the wrong place. The width needed is a proportion, not a taste: the screen has to cover the same angular width as the thing you are hiding.","If the bathroom door is 80 cm wide and 6 m from the front door, and the screen stands 2 m in, the screen needs 80 × 2 ÷ 6 = 27 cm of width to block the full view. That is a lamp and a narrow console, not a floor-to-ceiling partition, and it is the number that ends most arguments about whether a screen will make the hallway feel cramped.","Two things follow. The further in the screen stands, the wider it must be, so the cheapest position is close to the thing being hidden rather than close to the door. And a screen only blocks sight, not air or sound: if the complaint is the draught from the previous section, a screen across the hall will not stop it, because the pressure path runs around it.",{"heading":82,"body":83},"The threshold is a trip measurement",[84,85,86],"A raised threshold is one of the few traditional door features that people still install deliberately, on the reasoning that it holds something in. Whatever it holds, it is also a step in the one place everyone crosses while carrying things.","Accessibility codes commonly cap a doorway level change at 13 mm when it is vertical and 6 mm when it is bevelled, which is a useful calibration even for a household with no accessibility requirement: it is the height at which a step stops being noticed by the foot. The traditional 3–5 cm threshold is two to four times that, which is exactly why it is felt — and why the elderly visitor and the delivery courier both catch it.","The practical version is not to remove it but to make it visible: a contrasting strip on the leading edge, and a bevelled rather than square profile. A 5 cm threshold that is obvious is safer than a 2 cm one that is the same colour as the floor.",{"heading":88,"body":89},"Light is the one the tradition and the building code agree on",[90,91],"Entry and circulation areas are commonly specified at 100–200 lux, which is roughly ten times a dim hallway and roughly a fifth of a bright office. The number matters less than the contrast: what makes an entry feel unwelcoming is usually not a low absolute level but the jump from a bright street to a dark lobby, which the eye takes several seconds to adapt to.","That is why the single most effective change to most front doors is a warm lamp left on, and why the tradition's advice about a bright entrance and the lighting designer's advice about transition zones land in the same place. Both are describing the same second and a half of adaptation.",{"heading":93,"body":94},"What the rules that survive have in common",[95,96],"Every rule that came through the sorting intact turned out to be about one of three things: how you get in, what you see when you do, and how much air and light cross the threshold. That is not a coincidence. Those are the only properties of a door that produce a sensation on every single arrival, which is what a rule needs if it is going to be noticed at all.","The rules that did not survive share the opposite property: they produce no sensation, only a claim. A house number, a compass bearing, a colour chosen for luck — none of them changes what the first three seconds feel like, so none of them can be checked by walking through the door.",{"heading":98,"body":99},"One pass, cheapest and most reversible first",[100,101],"Clear the floor and the surfaces. Put a warm lamp on the entry and leave it on in the evening. Fix the hinge, the lock and the swing. Close the far door before reaching for a screen. If a straight line to the back window is the complaint, break it at the narrowest point rather than the widest. Then measure the threshold and the screen width before buying anything.","That is the whole list, and every item on it can be checked by walking through the door and looking. None of it predicts luck.

Test the lower-cost reversible option first and define what you will observe after seven and thirty days. Structural, electrical, gas, plumbing, waterproofing, fire, accessibility, or persistent health concerns require qualified advice. The bedroom guide shows how to test a bed position, the buying checklist helps evaluate a property before commitment, and the renovation guide controls expensive decisions before construction.

Agree in advance what improvement would justify keeping the change and what safety or comfort issue would stop the test. This approach does not scientifically validate a traditional claim; it prevents a symbolic explanation from hiding a practical cause and gives the household a clear basis for the next decision. Record seasonal conditions because daylight, condensation, temperature, and outdoor noise can change across the year.
