"Modern Chinese Dictionary" defines Feng Shui as: Feng Shui refers to the geographical situation of residential bases and cemeteries, such as the direction of mountains and rivers. Superstitious people believe that the quality of geomantic omen can affect the rise and fall of families and future generations.
2. The ancients changed the way of wind:
There is a famous saying in Feng Shui that "the mountain manages people's wealth". The change of the position and shape of mountains is very important to people's luck and health, and water is the most important to wealth.
This is the truth that "water is wealth". Generally, people who seek wealth like to gather Feng Shui in a goldfish bowl. In fact, this method can also be used in industries with partial wealth. Simply put, anyone who has no good fortune can ask for it in the fish tank.
The ancients used to build rockeries and ponds in front of and behind their houses to raise fish and deer. It means that mountains are prosperous, homes have backers, and water pipes are prosperous and smooth. Fish is homophonic-there are fish every year, and fawns flourish all the way.
However, rockery is expensive and covers a large area. Not everyone in the world has such a big place. Too small, the effect of collecting gas and collecting water to make money is not obvious. In addition, rockeries pay the most attention to the shape of mountains. If it is in a bad shape and forms a wasteland, it will not be worth the loss. Of course, some people deliberately get into bad places to ward off evil spirits and disasters.
4. Stone (Jucai) water polo originated in the late Qing Dynasty for a certain reason. Because the ancients did not have power generation technology, the waterwheel was not enough to turn such a huge stone (gathering wealth) water polo. Therefore, it was not until the introduction of steam engine, electric power and water pump in China in the late Qing Dynasty that water polo, a simple, convenient and practical auspicious thing, came into being.
At that time, feng shui balls were used as special decorations for the royal family. Ordinary people and ordinary officials are not allowed to use them at will. According to the literature, there is a 6-ton Feng Shui ball in Wanfo Garden of Qing Dongling, and a 2-meter-diameter Dashui Feng Shui ball in Yuanmingyuan.
