What is the principle of geomantic omen?

1. The principle of the integration of heaven and earth: astronomy, geography and humanities are the three scientific pillars of Feng Shui in China. The unity of heaven and earth is the highest principle of China's geomantic omen. This is actually related to China's creation myth "Pangu created the world". Originally, heaven and earth were mixed. Pangu held a huge axe and divided heaven and earth in two. The two qi gradually separate, the yang-clear qi rises to heaven, and the yin-turbid qi falls to the ground. Heaven and earth are changing every day, and people are in between. Therefore, although China's geomantic omen aims at understanding nature and making people's lives happier, it is not centered on people's will, but has the concept of heaven and earth and awe, and adopts the principle of the unity of heaven and earth.

Second, the principle of interdependence of the five elements: The five elements are a material concept in ancient China, which specifically refers to: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The ancients in China believed that nature was composed of five elements. With the rise and fall of these five elements, nature has changed, which not only affects people's fate, but also makes the universe cycle endlessly. The five principles are: aquatic wood, wood makes a fire, fire makes soil, soil makes gold, and gold makes water; Mutual restraint means mutual restraint, mutual restraint and mutual inhibition. The order of mutual restraint of the five elements is: Jin Kemu, Muketu, Tuke Water, Water, Fire and Gold. Therefore, in the ancient geomantic omen of China, the five elements should be considered when deciding the architectural form and choosing the living orientation.

Third, the principle of adapting measures to local conditions: China has a vast territory, very different climate, different soil quality and different architectural forms. Because of the drought and lack of rain in the northwest, people live in caves. The southwest is wet and rainy, and there are many insects and beasts, so people live in bamboo buildings with columns.
