One of the controversial topics in the field of Feng Shui is whether Feng Shui is * * *?

"Feng Shui" is a controversial topic. Since the lecture room, various forums have never talked about "feng shui" in this way. Two years ago, it was controversial to talk about "Feng Shui" in Nantah, and it was also controversial to talk about "Feng Shui" in a university branch in Wu Hanyou. However, "Feng Shui" is indeed a cultural issue worth talking about, especially some problems in "Feng Shui" need to be corrected.

Many people think that geomantic omen is fortune telling, divination, measuring character, fortune telling and reading gossip, which is quite different from the understanding of academic circles or academic schools. In my book Notes on Ancient Feng Shui, I regard Feng Shui as a kind of culture.

We should not easily say that Feng Shui is a science or superstition, just like watching a movie. Let's not easily say that this is a good person and this is a bad person. This way of thinking is too simple. Feng Shui is a kind of culture and a cultural phenomenon passed down from ancient times.

"Feng Shui" is just a name, not real Feng Shui, also known as the art of landscape, which is the main theoretical basis for building houses and gardening in ancient China. "Feng Shui Debate" said: "The so-called Feng Shui people benefit from hidden mountains, with thick soil color, and are not in a hurry to take the wind from all sides. And those who don't care about the low wind, also called water people take the high dryness of their terrain, they don't make water close to their husbands and skin. If the water potential bends into a circle, it will have a second meaning. "

This clearly shows that Feng Shui includes not only geophysics, hydrogeology, environmental landscape and other fields. The purpose of geomantic omen is careful and thorough investigation. Understanding the natural environment, transforming nature by reason, creating a good living environment, winning the best harmony between man and nature in the right time and the right place, and reaching the realm of harmony between man and nature coincide with the gardening concept of China classical gardens, which is also the artistic conception that modern gardens should pursue. ?

In Jin Mu, it divides things into five categories: fire, water, earth and five elements. The five elements complement each other and complement each other. Take emotion as the body; Take spring water as blood, land as skin, vegetation as hair, house as clothing and portal as crown belt. If so, it's a matter of elegance and luck. It can be seen that the relationship between geomantic omen and gardens is very close.
