"Everything is negative and positive, and it is harmonious." "Too empty and intangible, the noumenon of qi, its gathering and dispersion, and the change of guest shape."
Qi is a very common and important concept in Feng Shui. There are life energy, death energy, yang energy, yin energy, rustic energy, local energy, riding energy, energy gathering, energy receiving, qi pulse, qi mother and so on. Qi is the source of all things, which changes endlessly and determines people's fortune. If people want to avoid death and take advantage of anger, they have to ask the Feng Shui master to "adjust their breath". "Regulating qi" is very complicated. Only by combining the yin-yang and the five elements can we get a "prosperous image" on the spot, and we can get "angry" and be rich in "angry". Therefore, feng shui is actually a kind of "phase gas technique". Feng Shui takes qi as the foundation of all things. Meng, referred to in Volume 1 of Guan Shi Geography, said, "Qi is too easy to speak, no matter whether there is communication or not. ...... One product and two instruments, three students and five elements, good and bad regrets are organic and measurable, and there are ups and downs. " That is to say, the world is from nothing (no gas) to existence (the beginning of gas), and gas is the source (1). In Jin Mu, it is divided into yin and yang (two instruments) and five substances (five elements). The ups and downs of these substances all have unchangeable laws (measured but firm), and all have fortune (good or bad, regret), which are predictable. This passage is an expression of "Taiji Theory" in Zhouyi, with a simple color of materialist dialectics.
According to feng shui, qi is infinitely changeable. It can be turned into water or accumulated into mountains and rivers. In the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Pingjie said "Qi is wonderful" in "Shui Long Jing": "In the beginning, only Qi is before water. Turbid water makes mountains and rivers. Jing Yun: Qi is the mother of water. Water is Qi's son. Pneumatic means water follows, and when water stops, gas stops. Mother and son pity each other, and water and gas repel each other. The husband overflows the ground, but the trace is water, and walking on the ground is invisible as qi. It is a wonderful use of nature to use both the exterior and the interior. So the gas in the earth tends to move things, that is, the water is either gone or coming. The dragon needs water to assist, and the gas needs water to stop. Auxiliary dragon is water, so the origin of dragon gas can be known by investigating the origin of water; It is also water that blocks the dragon gas, so you can know where the dragon gas meets by examining the intersection of water. " Therefore, mountains and rivers can be unified in "qi", and finding vitality is to observe the direction of mountains and rivers.
