The ancients said that "one grave, two houses and three lives", and Feng Shui has always been regarded as the key button to control fate. Feng shui is a secret, and the real feng shui is never made public. Feng shui is also an important part of the planning of a township. In recent years, some charlatans in society only have a little knowledge, so they act as experts and endanger people. Some people vigorously advocate the mechanically simple geomantic theory of "four lives in the East, four lives in the West" and "five ghosts and six evils", which not only misleads children, but also harms future generations.
What is Feng Shui? In fact, it is a natural science integrating geophysics, hydrogeology, cosmology, meteorology, environmental landscape, architecture, ecology and human bioinformatics. Its purpose is to seriously investigate and understand the natural environment, use and transform nature, create a good living environment, win the best climate, place and people, and achieve the perfect state of harmony between man and nature.
The essence of Feng Shui is Qi, which is the source and foundation of life. The qi in geomantic omen is determined by the "order" occupied by various objects in the surrounding environment in time and space, and the change of "order" is only one of the ways of things from quantitative change to qualitative change in dialectical materialism (another way is the accumulation of quantity), and the environment and objects (.
There are many explanations about "Feng Shui" in ancient books, such as:
"Buried Sutra" says: "Qi dissipates by the wind, the boundary water stops, and people gather to make it stick and stop, so it is called Feng Shui." It is also said that "the depth is multiplied, and the feng shui is self-contained."
Mr. Kate's Buried Classics: "Internal qi is born, external qi is formed, internal and external multiplication, and Feng Shui is self-contained".
"Feng Shui Bian": The so-called wind, take the hidden mountains, thick earth color is not in a hurry to take the wind from all sides, the so-called water, do not care about the wind, take its high and dry terrain, so as not to make the water close to the husband's skin. When the water potential bends, it has a second meaning. "
"Geography is the Son of Man": "Geographers drink their names by the word Feng Shui, which is what Guo Pu called burying people and taking advantage of anger. How is anger perceived? Yue, come together, there is water; When the gas stops, there is water as the boundary; When gas gathers, there is no wind to disperse. So, get water, hide the wind. Also, gas is the mother of water. Where there is gas, there is water. ...
"Feng Shui" is just a name, not Feng Shui. Geomantic omen is also called "Kanyu", or "the art of divination, phase house, earth house, Qing Wu, Qingnangjing, shape method, geography, yin and yang, and landscape".
Therefore, it is not enough to explain Feng Shui from the word "Feng Shui" or to collect a quotation from ancient books.
To understand Feng Shui, we must enter its academic system. Analyze its origin and evolution deeply.
The earliest "Book of Buzhai" appeared in Shang and Zhou Dynasties or earlier. Look at the earliest documents in China, such as Shangshu and The Book of Songs. Analysis of its purpose can be understood as carefully examining the natural environment, conforming to nature, appropriately utilizing and transforming nature, creating a good living environment, and achieving the perfect state of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
How to carefully examine the natural environment (that is, choose land)? Adapting to nature is not equal to resignation, so how to adapt to nature and what is the principle of nature (analyzing the principle of heaven and earth)? How to use and transform nature (in geomantic omen, how to set up vertical bureau? How to get the right time, place and people, and achieve the unity of heaven and man? And so on are all important topics in feng shui research.
