Why is it called Feng Shui?

The first person in history to define Feng Shui was Guo Pu in Jin Dynasty. He said in the Book of Burial: "Buried people are angry. The gas is scattered by the wind, and the boundary water stops. " The ancients called it Feng Shui because they got together to make it last for a long time, so they stopped doing it. Fan Yibin, a scholar in A Qing, wrote in the Book of Burial: "Without water, the wind will come and the gas will disperse; With water, qi will stop and the wind will not exist. " . Therefore, the word "Feng Shui" is the most important word in learning. The land where water is obtained is the first, and the land where wind is hidden is the second. "That is to say, Feng Shui is an ancient skill about being angry, and it can only be angry under the condition of sheltering from the wind and gathering water.

What is anger? "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals-Ji Chun" says: "Anger is flourishing, and yang is venting." Qi is the gas for the growth and development of all things, and it is an element that can rejuvenate.

Before Guo Pu, Feng Shui had another name: Shape Method. The tangible law category of Hanshu Yiwenzhi includes twenty volumes of Palace Terrain. Japanese scholar Gao Chuan Yanzi made a bet on this article: "It is said that the shape of Feng Shui orientation contains the contrast between land and animals, which is the difference between it and later Feng Shui." Integrity. Can be seen as the sky, and the land. Kan has the same meaning as Kan and Kan. In the Han dynasty, there were people who took Kanyu as their profession. In Historical Records-Biographies of the Japanese, Mr. Chu wrote: "When filial piety was given to Emperor Wu, Fang Zhanjia asked, can there be a day to marry?" "The five elements said yes, but the Kanyu family saidno." It can be seen that the Kanyu family is responsible for timing.

Hanshu-Yiwenzhi contains "Seeing Phnom Penh", which is also a book about the orientation of geomantic omen. In addition, feng shui is called green bag, green black, house, land and so on.

For the word Feng Shui, Ci Hai is defined as: "Feng Shui, also known as Feng Shui. A superstition in old China. It is believed that the geomantic conditions around residential bases or cemeteries can lead to the wealth of families living or buried. Also refers to the method of phase house phase tomb.

In recent years, scholars have different views on the definition of Ci Hai, and the main tendency is not to equate Feng Shui with superstition. Yin Hongji wrote in the first issue of Research on the History of Natural Science (1989): "Feng Shui is a landscape evaluation system for finding auspicious places for architecture. It is the art of China's ancient geographical location and layout, and cannot be simply called superstition or science according to Western concepts. " Professor Pan pointed out in the preface of The Origin of Feng Shui: "The core content of Feng Shui is a kind of knowledge that people choose and deal with their living environment, and its scope includes houses, palaces, temples, tombs, villages and cities. Among them, tombs are called yin houses, and houses are called yang houses. " Recently, Taiwan Province scholars mentioned again? Quot feng shui is the relationship between the earth's magnetic field and human beings. "It seems that feng shui has a tendency to be raised and righted.

When talking about Feng Shui, we should not only fully understand and absorb the latest achievements of academic circles, but also adhere to the attitude of seeking truth from facts. I think: Feng Shui is a traditional cultural phenomenon, a widely spread folk custom, a skill of choosing good luck to avoid evil spirits, a knowledge about the environment and people, a theory about the theory and practice system of yin house and yang house, and the accumulation of people's long-term practical experience. From the perspective of modern scientific theory, geomantic omen is a comprehensive science integrating geophysics, hydrogeology, environmental landscape, ecological architecture, cosmology, geomagnetic field orientation, meteorology and human informatics.
