1988 A report by China Xinhua News Agency in Tianjin on 24th finally opened the forbidden area of geomantic omen. The telegram said: "Feng Shui is actually a comprehensive and systematic ancient architectural planning theory that integrates geography, ecology, landscape, architecture, ethics and aesthetics. Harmony, architecture and gardens constitute the three pillars of China's ancient architectural theory. "
In some foreign countries and regions, the influence of geomantic omen is no less than that of China. In countries that have a great influence on China's traditional culture, such as Korea, Japan, Laos, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, etc., there are various activities about geomantic omen, which have evolved into a way to meet the spiritual needs of local people. Nowadays, Feng Shui is very popular in Japan, America and European countries. 1In September, 994, new york Times reported the importance of China Feng Shui in American architectural design.
China ancient geomantic omen, which has long been regarded as the dregs of feudal superstition, is now introduced into architectural design research by Wang Qiheng, a professor at Tianjin University. After years of in-depth and systematic research, Wang Qiheng believes that the core of geomantic omen is the essence of China's ancient architectural theory. The reason is that Feng Shui has solved the eternal mystery of ancient architecture in China in the aspects of the overall treatment of space environment, the combination of human landscape and natural landscape, and the layout of large buildings.
Recently, Bibi is more influential and has a high academic level. Published by China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, 1996, by Mo Miao and Huidu. 1997 Sun Yat-sen University published Yang Weizeng's Zhouyi and residential feng shui. Academic papers include Hakka and Feng Shui by Professor Luo Yong, an expert on Hakka studies, and Social Analysis of Hakka Feng Shui Belief by Linda Chung. Linda Chung has a good exposition on the influence of geomantic omen on people's life style and spiritual world in Hakka society. Luo Yong elaborated the emergence, development and spread of Feng Shui in detail in his paper. Yang Weizeng believes that the quality of geomantic omen lies in whether people and the environment are harmonious, and whether the human body field and the environment field reach a sympathetic balance. The geomantic belief of Hakkas is a tradition with environmental awareness. Give full play to the knowledge advantages of comprehensive hybridization of ancient and modern disciplines and solve the problem of geomantic omen scientifically. It not only uses the three theoretical essences of Zhouyi, the source of China culture: the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang, the mutual restraint of the five elements, and the complementary harmony between man and nature. Modern scientific philosophy theories, such as human science, human ecology, environmental earth science, environmental medicine, environmental psychology, architectural aesthetics, environmental philosophy, etc., should be used to dialectically analyze and sublate the traditional Feng Shui theory. Yang Weizeng's exposition summarizes modern people's understanding of Feng Shui.
China's theory of "geomantic omen" is contrary to that of western European countries. The essence of geomantic omen is human's understanding of the choice and adaptation of living environment on the basis of environmental induction. Because people's requirements for geomantic omen are the sympathetic balance between human field and environmental field, people should be integrated with heaven and earth. The core of geomantic omen is that "the natural environment can change people's thoughts and minds and change people's lives". The theory of "geomantic omen" requires that when building houses and graves, we must consider the harmony with the surrounding natural forms and nature. The main reason is that man does not dominate nature, but that man and nature coexist. It shows that Hakka's "Feng Shui" belief is a tradition with environmental awareness. If we simply look at the theory of "Feng Shui" from this point, it is also a feasible idea in modern times.
Nowadays, in towns and some economically developed areas, with the spread of modern civilization, some people still believe in Feng Shui, which only appears in other forms. Calendars containing knowledge of geomantic omen are very popular in bookstores. Some people check calendars to see auspicious days for weddings, funerals and weddings. When building a house, some people don't talk about finding a place with good feng shui, but in fact they always try their best to find a place with good terrain to build a house. There are also some people who eat the "imperial grain" of the country, and even pay attention to the geographical location of the office for the success of their careers. Such a thing is quite ridiculous, but it can actually show that the ancient culture of Feng Shui is deeply rooted in the spiritual world and life of Hakkas.
Because feng shui has its reasonable core, it can last forever. In today's society, the geographical environment of a place is related to the value and price of real estate to some extent. After we understand the essence of Feng Shui and its influence on people, we can consciously and scientifically obtain good Feng Shui and use it. Through the knowledge of geomantic omen, we can choose a reasonable location to build houses, and through the layout and decoration of houses and rooms, we can obtain a satisfactory and ideal living environment to meet our own needs. Let you live in a new living environment, make you healthy, have a happy family and succeed in your career.
Ancient geomantic omen has its reasonable and scientific quality components. We should use the method of "sublation", make the past serve the present, and let the useful things in ancient geomantic omen serve modern people and benefit mankind. Modern people's understanding of Feng Shui should not only carry forward the traditional culture of China, but also get rid of the dirt of feudal superstition. It should be the reasonable requirement of modern people to serve people with the reasonable theory of Feng Shui.
