Is the glass behind the sofa a backer?

Ah, no, the so-called backing of indoor feng shui generally refers to the walls of the entity, and the glass is not only thin but also transparent, so it cannot be called a "backer". In the home furnishings, generally speaking, the sofa and other main seats behind the hard backing (that is, no holes and thicker solid walls) is better, but not absolute, if the conditions are limited, the back is a glass wall is not a big problem, but the sofa and the coffee table should be placed on some plants, so that there can be "down-to-earth", the grassroots solid meaning. If conditions permit, you can set up a floor-to-ceiling wooden decorative wall slightly higher than the sofa behind the sofa, and make it better to have a thickness of more than 10 cm, and you can place small objects on it, so that it actually forms a "backer".

If the back of the sofa is a floor-to-ceiling glass window, it is not appropriate to set up a decorative low wall, then the curtains should be dark color, and there are a little dark curtains on both sides after opening during the day, which is also thick and solemn. However, the place where the tablet of the god or the Bodhisattva is placed indoors should have a backer, and the wooden cabinet can also be used as a "backer". That's all there is to it.

Knowledge extension: The saying "backing the mountain" comes from the story of An Lushan's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty. Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was very fond of An Lushan, the envoy of the three towns of the Hu people, and actually wanted to promote him to prime minister.

After the right minister Yang Guozhong found out, he advised the emperor not to reuse the ambitious An Lushan. Xuanzong then did not let Zhang Yi draw up an edict to promote An Lushan. Zhang Yi was a good friend of An, and soon told An Lushan about it.

Once, Zhang Xun talked with Li Bai, a great poet who served in Beijing, about his relationship with An Lushan. Li Bai said bluntly: "I think Hu Er has the intention of rebellion, he is very ambitious, and he will affect you then."

You are unreliable mountain! Let's stay close to the emperor! Zhang Yi listened to the advice of his friend Li Bai.

Soon, An Lushan really raised troops against the Tang Dynasty, but Zhang Xun was still reused by Xuanzong. Zhang Xun said with deep feelings: "Fortunately, I don't have a backer!"

The word "backer" has been handed down since then.

Of course, there is another way of saying it among the people, a bit of a superstitious one. Generally speaking, the mountain is a symbol of masculinity, and ghosts and evil are yin, according to superstition, relying on the mountain means that you can avoid ghosts and evil spirits and keep peace.

No, the glass is transparent, and it looks like there is nothing at first glance, so it's better to put a screen behind the sofa.
