The answer is yes. In coastal areas, especially in Fujian, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, people believe in Feng Shui very much, especially businessmen. Comparatively speaking, the mainland is not so convinced. In modern architecture, feng shui is sometimes needed.
Feng Shui is not a superstition, it was misunderstood during the Cultural Revolution. The so-called feng shui and architecture are all evaluated by people. In a good geomantic omen place, there are substances that can or cannot be proved underground, and all kinds of substances interact and emit rays, which affect people's body and mood, and then affect people's various quality of life. Therefore, architecture is related to the geomagnetic field, and geomantic omen is the result of the interaction of various geographical factors.
The relationship between geomantic omen and architecture has a long history.
China has a long history of geomantic omen and has a tradition of being buried in Buji since ancient times. After Guo Pu in Jin Dynasty wrote Funeral Classics, Feng Shui was separated from other five-element mathematics, forming a separate theory, and its influence was increasingly extensive. In the Tang Dynasty, Yang Junsong brought this knowledge to the people, making Feng Shui blossom and bear fruit among the people. The process of Feng Shui spreading to the people is also the process of its expanding influence. More and more senior intellectuals participated in it, which changed its aesthetic and practical functions. For example, Sima Guang and Zhu in the Song Dynasty both participated in activities related to geomantic omen.
It is the participation of these intellectuals that makes the theory of Feng Shui not only have practical functions, but also form an aesthetic taste that conforms to the traditional literati aesthetics in China. The royal gardens and the literati's houses in Shan Ye were built according to their principles. What is even more rare is that the craftsmen who built these gardens have learned Feng Shui classics such as Lu Ban Jing since childhood. Therefore, the design of those literati can be presented by the hands of craftsmen. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the idea of harmony between man and nature, tranquility and far-reaching contained in Feng Shui was vividly displayed in major gardens. It can be said that Feng Shui has become a carrier of traditional aesthetics in today's China, and constantly influences and promotes the development of architectural construction in China.
