我有一朋友,特別熱愛中國的東東,學了中醫學針灸,讀了道家讀儒家。快三十的人了,還在學校沒完沒了地學著呢。課本上的知識遠遠不能滿足他,於是他總是如饑似渴地從我這裏獲取寶貴的中國文化知識。隻要出了校門,就尊我為先生,凡事必磕著響頭向我求教。這不,又來信了,問我問題,我一如既往地答不出。好在現在有博客了,我不懂可以偷著問,問完了再教他。
 
我說朋友們,有懂風水、中醫什麽的麽?看看能不能幫我解答一下啊?別猜哈,最好能給個標準答案,別回頭讓我的學生出去丟人現眼。還有,最好能提供英文答案,這樣我就省得翻譯了。
 
謝謝啦!
 
下麵是他的來信:
 
I bought this cabinet a few weeks ago and it is very detailed. It looks like there are shells carved into birds, flowers, and plants that are glued onto the cabinet drawers. The very interesting thing about this cabinet is that each drawer is reversible with a different design on the other side. I have each drawer matched to it's neighbor drawer. My questions are...
 
1. Does the reversibility of the drawers and pictures have anything to do with Feng Shui or Chinese Medicine?
 
2. If so, I suspect I am suppose to change what side faces forward during certain seasons, right? (ex. have the bird face forward during Spring and the plant face forward in summer or something like that.)
 
If nothing else, the piece is amazing and I love it.
