Bathroom Feng Shui: Placement, the Door, and Where the Water Goes

Every room of the house keeps one thing — every room but this one. The bedroom keeps rest, the living room gathering, the kitchen nourishment; the bathroom keeps nothing. Its whole business is to let go: water out, turbid air out, each by its own exit. In the yang zhai (阳宅, “dwelling of the living”) tradition laid out in What Is Feng Shui, that one difference turns the checklist inside out. Every other room is asked to gather and to hold; this one is asked to drain. Where the other rooms fear dispersal, this one fears blockage — so bathroom feng shui does not start with what to place. It starts with whether the exits work.
