Look at the common name of geomantic omen theory. It is an ancient custom to build halls, temples, cemeteries, bridges and roads. Before building, please ask a geographer (commonly known as Mr. Geography) to check the ins and outs of the terrain position, use a compass to check the direction, and then choose a day to pick holes, plan the pattern, and Buji will move on a day. This custom in Chaoshan area is very stubborn. There are many folk legends about how the lice fairy built a stockade, and there are also many cases of disputes caused by superstition of geomantic omen. The word "seeing geomantic omen" comes from the cloud in Guo Pu's Funeral Scripture that "Qi rides the wind to disperse, but the boundary water stops, and the ancients gathered to make it long, so it is called geomantic omen", that is, "Qi" related to the ground vein and topography. The 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 think that the quality of Feng Shui can affect the rise and fall of families and descendants. " Ci Hai is defined as follows: "Feng Shui is a superstition in old China. It is believed that the geomantic conditions around residential bases or cemeteries can lead to the fate of residents or buried families. " The difference between the Book of Changes and Feng Shui: Feng Shui refers to the geographical situation of residential bases and cemeteries, such as the direction of mountains and rivers and the magic of ancient China. There is a saying that it is smooth and full of vitality; The Book of Changes is an ancient philosophy. The two should not be confused. The following content is the general content of China's Yi-ology history, not the history of Feng Shui.

There is artificial feng shui; Someone destroys feng shui; Some people use feng shui; Some people like feng shui. In a word, the author thinks: Whether you believe it or not, Feng Shui is around us, around us, in our ears, in our minds and even in the depths of our souls. In China, Feng Shui can be divided into three categories: the first category, metaphysics, traditional humanities: the category of knowledge, and the China tradition, which is profound and profound, is divided into several schools, countless. Such people are scattered all over the country. The second category, metaphysics, traditional humanities and environmental design: Some experienced designers have realized the role of geomantic omen in environmental design after long-term practice, and made a detailed exploration of China's geomantic omen theory and combined it with design. Most of these people are in Beijing and big cities. The third category, metaphysics, combines traditional humanities with environmental design, and then blends into social science to become "new humanities": the author's geomantic theory and practice are crystallized here, emphasizing verifiability, and named it: commercial geomantic omen, and the author is also the founder. There is no difference between these three categories, but the groups they serve are different. It is not good to elaborate on the difference between "groups" here, but one thing is certain: they are all solving various problems for specific groups, and they are all creating good feng shui. "It's better to believe what it has than what it doesn't have" is a common view of Feng Shui at present.
