Old Shoes, Worn-Out Soles: A Sign of Neglect and Hard Times
We all know that shoes are a familiar item for everyone, and it’s common to have many pairs, especially in large or active families. It’s understandable to keep shoes that are still in good condition, but hoarding old and worn-out shoes is a different story. Having too many unused shoes, especially those past their prime, can be a major turn-off.
Some people don’t pay enough attention to this issue, and it’s not uncommon to see shoes haphazardly placed around the house. This can ruin the overall cleanliness and aesthetics of your home. Shoes that aren’t regularly worn should be stored away or kept out of sight. Additionally, it’s important to let go of old shoes and not let them pile up.
Out with the Old: Stale and Damaged Foodware
The dinnerware we use every day can become damaged over time, and it’s important to be vigilant about replacing it. If you notice any chips or cracks in your plates or bowls, it’s best to dispose of them promptly and wrap them in red cloth before discarding. Otherwise, your wealth and family harmony may suffer. Dinnerware is akin to the vessel of your career and life path. A broken vessel needs repair or replacement; otherwise, you risk losing out and facing setbacks.
Chipped and Faded: When Dinnerware Loses Its Shine
Our ancestors knew the importance of clean and presentable dinnerware, as the saying goes, “A clean house is cool, and clean plates make food taste better.” Therefore, if your plates or bowls are looking old or chipped, it’s time to let them go and invest in new ones. Scientifically, old dinnerware can leach harmful colors and patterns onto your food. Chipped plates can also be a hazard, causing cuts or injuries to your mouth.
From a feng shui perspective, chipped and faded dinnerware indicates financial loss and hardship. As dinnerware represents the inflow and outflow of wealth, placing a mirror at the entrance to reflect it suggests wealth walking out the door. This can invite bad luck and further impoverish the household.
