Interior Feng Shui Sha Glossary
A plain-language reference to the interior feng shui formations (室内形煞) DaoShu Energy looks for inside a home's floor plan — what each one is, how to recognise it, and the traditional direction for balancing it.
- Central Stairs楼梯穿心煞 · IF-01
Central Stairs (楼梯穿心煞) is a traditional interior feng shui formation in which a staircase sits at or runs through the centre of a home, the area traditionally regarded as its energetic heart.
- Through Hall穿堂煞 · IF-02
Through Hall (穿堂煞) is a traditional interior feng shui formation in which the front door aligns directly with a back door or large window, so energy entering the home flows straight through and out without circulating.
- Bath Core卫浴居中煞 · IF-04
Central Bathroom (卫浴居中煞) is a traditional interior feng shui formation in which a bathroom occupies the centre of a home, placing water-and-drainage associations at the layout's energetic core.
- Missing Corner缺角煞 · IF-05
Missing Corner (缺角煞) is a traditional interior feng shui formation in which a home's footprint is notably indented at a corner, so one of the eight directional sectors is incomplete.
- Stair vs Door楼梯压门 · IF-7
Stair Over Door (楼梯压门) is a traditional interior feng shui formation in which a staircase descends directly toward or above the main entrance, so the stairs press down on the doorway.
- Top Heavy头重脚轻 · IF-8
Top Heavy (头重脚轻) is a traditional interior feng shui formation in which a home's upper levels feel visually heavier or more massed than its base, lacking a sense of solid grounding below.

Kitchen-Bath Adjacent (厨卫紧邻) is a traditional interior feng shui formation in which a kitchen and a bathroom share a wall or sit immediately next to each other, placing fire and water associations in direct contact.
- Stair Above Bed楼梯压卧 · IF-11
Stair Above Bed (楼梯压卧) is a traditional interior feng shui formation in which a staircase on an upper level runs directly above a bed, so the stairs press down over the sleeping position.

Central Kitchen (厨房居中煞) is a traditional interior feng shui formation in which a kitchen occupies the centre of a home, placing strong fire-element associations at the layout's energetic core.
- Stove-Toilet Same Floor灶马同宫·同层 · CL-01
