In European and American countries, the geomantic assessment service of residential and commercial buildings has been integrated into the overall planning of architectural graphic design, which plays an increasingly important guiding role in daily commercial activities. In fact, as early as the 1970s, geomantic omen was already popular in Europe and America. As China people took root and multiplied all over the world, they spread this China culture to foreign countries and were accepted by local cultural circles. The spread of this feng shui phenomenon in Europe and America has its social and humanistic roots, which is the scientific nature of feng shui itself. As a humanistic phenomenon and folk culture view, human geography has done some exploration and detailed research with the same effect in inductive geography.
Inductive geography and behavioral geography were established in the early 1980s and are active in western geography. The science of studying people's reaction characteristics, formation process and their relationship to different geography is called "inductive geography", which mainly studies the inductive cognitive process of different residents to the environment, and also studies the inductive characteristics of planning decision makers and travelers living in special environments. The science of studying the behavior and decision-making of different groups and strata in different geographical environments is called "behavioral geography", which not only studies the behavior of local residents, but also pays attention to the planning behavior of decision makers, such as the location selection behavior of enterprise management.
The ancient geomantic omen theory has given new life in the new century. This traditional and novel culture played an important role in ancient China. Both palace buildings and cottage buildings played a subtle spiritual traction and instruction role for people with sacred beliefs.
Throughout the architectural history of China, geomantic omen has never been left in a corner, but has been guiding the buildings of past dynasties. China's ancient buildings are world-famous for their ancient culture, dotted around the world like stars, such as the Confucius Temple in Cologne and the Zhao Ti Temple in Japan.
In modern society, people pay too much attention to money and material interests, and endlessly pursue the satisfaction of material desires and the enjoyment of senses, which leads to the increasingly tense social relations and the imbalance of self-body and mind. These problems have begun to affect and threaten the further harmonious development of mankind, and people of insight in the west have also begun to pay attention to this problem and try to find a solution. They turned their eyes to the east, trying to find the perfect answer in the ancient oriental classics. In the East, ancient culture once created ancient civilization and ancient glory. Some valuable humanistic phenomena that once produced survival wisdom and influenced the customs of Chinese ancestors for thousands of years have attracted enough attention from the world. Abandoning its possible negative effects and giving it a modern interpretation and play will help people better deal with themselves and the environment, and how to coordinate and interact with their physical and mental relationships.
Geomantic omen is a good way to coordinate man and nature in ancient China, which has formed a certain system in ancient times. It is based on the concepts of "harmony between man and nature" and "harmony between man and nature". It is also beneficial to how to coordinate the relationship between man and nature and how to solve the problem of spiritual imbalance in today's rich material life.
Adhering to the theoretical concept, how to get rid of its dross and extract its essence, so that the old theory can be accepted and benefited by modern people in the new world, new era and new concept, is the only focus of our study of Feng Shui today, and it is also the cornerstone of Feng Shui theory becoming a theoretical concept. Benefit or not, not only refers to material benefits, such as "psychotherapy" or "psychoanalysis", but ultimately gives people a kind of spiritual harmony, so that work and life can go on normally, and then get material benefits. There is no irreconcilable contradiction between them.
For feng shui, there are two things to do now:
First, carry out and strengthen theoretical research. There is an old saying in China that goes well: "You must be hard before you strike the iron. In my experience, I have studied the works of sages on Feng Shui. As long as the theory works, most authors are proficient in TCM theory. Doctors are easy to communicate with each other, and the quality of the environment is first reflected in people's illness. Mental illness, mental illness and organic diseases are all environmental diseases, including living environment, regional environment, camp and sanitary environment, ranging from harmony with the environment to even the country, the country and the government.
What is harmony between man and nature? God damn it, administration, leadership What is a person? Man is the element of heaven and the element of country. Only when heaven and man are integrated can the country maintain long-term stability. Why do you say that? As far as the diseases of eating environment are concerned, a good environment makes people feel happy and have a good appetite. Food conditions are also a factor in the eating environment. How many vitamins does this food contain? How many kinds of amino acids are there? Poor food is a sign of poor eating environment. However, if you take the best food with high nutritional content to an environment with bad atmosphere, such as angry environment, bacteria breeding environment, smoky environment and unhappy mood, you will also get indigestion and even get sick. Other situations and so on.
As for the diseases in your living environment, such as your bedroom, courtyard and office, you have spent a third of your life in these three places, and you should create your family, career and future in this environmental field. These three places should have a high-energy, efficient and harmonious environment, so that the health of life, the happiness of family and the glory of career can achieve harmonious and balanced development.
Our clothes, food, shelter and transportation should be in harmony with the environment. Environment is a broad term, including psychological environment (a basic concept in topological psychology put forward by German psychologist K Lei Wen), physical environment and interpersonal environment. In order to achieve harmony between mind, things and people, Feng Shui is inseparable. Feng Shui is a psychosomatic medicine and a psychosomatic science. Psychosomatic medicine does not include "things", which are generalized environments. Western psychosomatic medicine has its defects. Its psychosomatic medicine and the medicine that integrates things and body and mind go their separate ways. Although psychosomatic medicine and psychosomatic medicine are very developed, just like the negative story, the faster you run, the more problems you find, which is the common dilemma of human beings in post-modern society. Nothing goes wrong. If something goes wrong, it is an earth-shattering problem.
In developing countries, how to solve the polarization between wealth accumulation and general poverty is the most important thing, and the medicine of "mind" is still very backward, let alone the medicine of "mind, body and matter". Understanding "mind, body and matter" medicine requires a general improvement of knowledge level, not just an improvement of "intelligence". Feng shui theory pays attention to people, mind and things. Man is the body, the heart is the spirit, and things are the environment. Geomantic omen pays attention to the harmonious development of body, mind and things for the sake of a better life for mankind in the future. People of insight in the west have discovered a pearl and a treasure jade in the oriental classical culture. My name is Zhu Yuchen Fu.
Second, the guidance of sociological concepts. Beauty is what everyone yearns for, and so are interests and benefits. Everyone says the gardens in Suzhou are beautiful. Does it conform to feng shui theory? It can be used as a practical specimen of Feng Shui theory and one of the best specimens. Is it beneficial? Over the years, the economic benefits brought by Suzhou gardens to Suzhou are obvious to all.
Finally, I want to introduce Feng Shui from a scientific point of view, make a genuine business card for Feng Shui, and avoid the suspicion of intermediary. Of course, what is regarded as superstition in Feng Shui is an organic part of it, which is of research value from the perspective of sociology.
In the early 1980s, scientist Qian Xuesen said in an article about Qigong that it is not difficult to study the concept of heaven and man (referring to the knowledge of man and environment, man and the universe) in human science, and it is not difficult to learn and understand Feng Shui, so I dare not ask why in everything. Many feng shui scholars study feng shui theory, focusing on ready-made things, which can be digested when picked up and can solve hunger (benefits); But if a theory is not understood theoretically, it will go astray, and everyone will say that this is a "pseudo-theory." Some scholars even have a reluctant misinterpretation of the original text, which is lack of common sense. Dialectics of philosophy can bring about a leap in knowledge quality, so we should ask a few more questions: Why? Zheng Zhongying, a philosopher of the Book of Changes, president of the International Book of Changes Society and a professor at the University of Hawaii in the United States, has a unique understanding of the practical level of the Book of Changes:
"Obviously, scholars should not simply reject it before they have a good understanding of it, but should rationally analyze and explain it, so that its various practical applications can match and adapt to the healthy trend of modern culture, so that it can still play an active role in the modern world. Because if we can analyze and explain practical Yi-ology from a rational point of view, we can find that Feng Shui alchemy obviously contains valuable theories on the life ecology and environmental ecology of man and nature as a whole. 」

Since its birth, the theory of geomantic omen may have been mixed with many superstitions, but these so-called superstitions have been interpreted step by step by modern science, and then quietly led to the realm of the interests, beauty and happiness of the whole and individuals of mankind. At this time, we have to reflect on why, as an ancient theory that combines interdisciplinary and humanistic ideas, it can be used in Chinese and western countries and is moving towards the convergence of Chinese and western countries. This is a geomantic mystery, and the rhythm between heaven and man composed of Tai Chi is so important that it is urgent. Understand this mystery, from the humanistic strategy of governing the country to the daily environment at home, you can change and adjust. Heaven and man are one, and I have nothing to ask for and do whatever I want.
