What is the real Feng Shui? No one will tell the truth.

The word "Feng Shui" comes from the Book of Burial written by Guo Pu in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Guo Pu's definition of Feng Shui in his book is "the inheritor hides and takes advantage of anger". ..... the air is dispersed by the wind, and the boundary water stops. The ancients gathered to make it stick, but did it, so it was called Feng Shui. "Guo Pu put forward the concept of' Qi', and extracted the representation of wind and water very concisely to understand the source and stop of' Qi'. Because he mentioned the word Feng Shui for the first time in the book "Funeral Book", he laid the theoretical framework of Feng Shui and was called the originator of Feng Shui.

In fact, the history of Feng Shui is much longer than that of funeral books. Later feng shui scholars thought the Book of Songs was elegant? There is a description of geomantic activities in Gongliu:

Benedict Gong Liu, in Xu Siyuan's view, is both ordinary and complicated ... He provides and returns to the original state.

Visiting Gongliu, he died in Baiquan, looking at Puyuan, looking at Nangang and looking at Beijing. Traveling around in the capital, talking and talking.

When you visit Gongliu, you will find that Pu is very long, and the scenery is only hills. Yin and Yang are in harmony, and you will see its flowing spring.

From these poetic descriptions, it seems that the ancients were looking for dragons, sand, water and acupoints, and the process was quite similar to the four works of later Feng Shui scholars.

"Elegance?" in The Book of Songs There is also a related description in Mian: "The father of ancient times came to the DPRK to get horses, and brought them to the west of Shui Bo. As for Qi Xia. Why and Jiang Nv, Yu Yu. " Gu's father, the father of Li and his father, led his people to Qishan. "Yu Xu" in the poem means to look at and stare at each other.

These feng shui activities were called "elephant land" or "prosperity" by people at that time.

Feng shui is also called geomancy, so how did this statement come from? The word "Kanyu" first appeared in the third volume of Huainanzi written by Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty, and its meaning is the truth of the operation of heaven and earth.

Xu Shen in the Eastern Han Dynasty said: Kan, Tian; Yu, tunnel also!

Geomantic omen is also called geography, and the word geography first appeared in the copula of Zhouyi: heaven and earth are easy and accurate, so it can help us understand the way of heaven and earth. Looking up at astronomy and looking down at geography is the reason why we know the secret.

When Guo Pu wrote The Book of Burial, he was actually standing on the shoulders of giants. Besides sorting out some geomantic theories, he mainly defined the word "geomantic omen". Just like the later term "Qigong", if we don't study it, it is difficult to see the meaning of "Feng Shui" from the literal meaning.

Both Qigong and Fengshui talk about "Qi". Now many people understand it as airflow, but it is not. There are too many simplified words in modern Chinese, and many words are discarded, which leads to some ambiguity in understanding. Qi here is more accurately understood as "no fire", which comes from the ancient Taoist culture in China and represents energy.
