Is "Feng Shui" a relic of superstition or a cultural heritage?

To answer this question, we must first understand the meaning of Feng Shui. Geomantic omen is based on the technology of observing geography on the spot, which was called physiognomy and geomantic omen theory in ancient times. Its purpose is to choose the methods and principles of palace, village location and cemetery construction. The original intention is to choose the right place as environmental science. Among them, "Kan" means "investigation" means investigation; "Yu" originally refers to the trunk of a tree, which means carrying a load. Zhou Li Dongguan Kao Gong is based on people and cars. After the Han Dynasty, Yu Fuzhi's view of ancient saints began to turn into wheels, which could not be lifted. Because of the wisdom of things, it belongs to. "Yu" refers to wooden vehicles that transport goods or remains. Those who support the view of environmental geomantic omen believe that geomantic omen is a comprehensive science in China, including orthodox geomantic omen architecture. Combined with the observation of environment, geography, health, etc. The superstitious part should be removed. Now the technology has confirmed a small part of Feng Shui, such as solar terms, magnetic north position and so on. They think that disputes are misunderstandings about the definition of Feng Shui, and these disputes only involve the part of Feng Shui that is related to predicting fate. Those who support the belief in Feng Shui believe that this is not science at all. They think that this kind of geomantic omen is the philosophical part of China culture and the environmental view of China people. Zhu, a philosopher in the Southern Song Dynasty, believed in Feng Shui and often consulted his teacher Cai Xishan. Zhu also put forward his own opinion: "predict the omen of his house, predict the beauty and evil of his land." The beautiful land makes the gods safe and his son Sun Sheng safe. "Zhao and Shi's" Bing Tuilu "recorded that Zhu talked with the guests about Feng Shui:" Jizhou Feng Shui is good: the clouds and mountains are long; Daiyue, Qinglong also; Huashan, white tiger also; Songshan, Geye; The mountain of Huainan is also outside the case. "... against the belief in Feng Shui The mainstream scientific community believes that Feng Shui belief is not a science, nor a discipline, but only a part of China culture. Its foundation comes from the folk beliefs of the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. They believe that Feng Shui belief is a superstition in the old world, which hinders the creativity of China people in architectural design and interior design. Feng Shui master who takes this folk belief as his profession claims that the choice of environment will affect his fate, and his motivation is incompatible with modern science. Its reason for predicting the future is considered pseudoscience because it has no scientific basis. In the Qing Dynasty, Li Ruzhen once said in The Mirror Flower Garden: "Those who are good at geomantic omen have no parents. If they have good land, why not keep it for their own use? If you get a beautiful land, you can develop. How many people are proficient in geography? "In the qing dynasty, zeng guofan most don't believe in feng shui [2]. In the twenty-ninth year of Daoguang, he said, "Since Zucong's adult was buried in Pigou (Douchong) in the afternoon and winter, three men have been added to my family, and they have been promoted to cabinet school assistant and nine brothers to study and make up lessons. The effect of pigeonpea field (douchong) is obvious. [3] The conclusion is that "the blessed are buried in a blessed land, and human resources can never participate in it". Although the ancestors were buried in the land of fighting, the descendants were still so lucky. Contemporary Feng Shui researchers, archaeologists in China and folk grave robbers all have a deep understanding of Feng Shui. Archaeologists use geomantic omen theory and ritual music system to study ancient sites, which can always confirm each other and interpret ancient sites through geomantic omen and ritual music. However, if an ancient tomb is found somewhere, the folk grave robbers usually arrive before the archaeologists. There was a grave robber who calculated the exact location by observing during the day and spent one night digging a 3-meter vertical tunnel directly above the grave coffin. The next day, when faced with the looted coffins, archaeologists felt ashamed, except for the magical skills of strange folks.
