The ancients said that "one grave, two houses and three lives". Feng shui has always been regarded as the key button of fate. The secret of Feng Shui is handed down, and the real secret of Feng Shui is never made public. What is "Feng Shui"? There are countless people who have defined geomantic omen since ancient times, but Guo Pu, who was the first to define geomantic omen in history, said in his famous book "The Book of Burial": "When people are buried in anger, gas is dispersed by the wind, and the water stops, and the ancients gather but do not disperse, so it is called geomantic omen. The method of feng shui is to get water first and then hide the wind. " In short, it is "hiding the wind and gathering the gas." Fan Yibin of A Qing Dynasty once wrote a note for the Book of Burial: "Without water, the wind disperses in the air, while with water, the air stops and the wind disappears. Therefore, the word Feng Shui is the most important word in learning, and the land where water is obtained is the best, followed by the land where wind is stored." It can be seen that the art of geomantic omen, that is, the art of comparing places, is the core of people's choice and treatment of living or buried environment, so as to achieve the purpose of people seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, so geomantic omen can be divided into yangzhai and yinzhai.
What is Feng Shui? In fact, it is a natural science integrating geophysics, hydrogeology, cosmology, meteorology, environmental landscape, architecture, ecology and human bioinformatics. Its purpose is to seriously investigate and understand the natural environment, use and transform nature, create a good living environment, win the best climate, place and people, and achieve the perfect state of harmony between man and nature.
The essence of Feng Shui is Qi, which is the source and foundation of life. The qi in geomantic omen is determined by the "order" occupied by various objects in the surrounding environment in time and space, and the change of "order" is only one of the ways of things from quantitative change to qualitative change in dialectical materialism (another way is the accumulation of quantity), and the environment and objects (.
"Feng Shui" is just a name, not Feng Shui. Feng Shui is also called Feng Shui, or the art of divination, photography, painting, Kate, clearing the capsule, shape, geography, yin and yang and landscape.
Therefore, it is not enough to explain Feng Shui from the word "Feng Shui" or to collect a quotation from ancient books.
To understand Feng Shui, we must enter its academic system. Analyze its origin and evolution deeply.
The earliest "Book of Buzhai" appeared in Shang and Zhou Dynasties or earlier. Look at the earliest documents in China, such as Shangshu and The Book of Songs. Analysis of its purpose can be understood as carefully examining the natural environment, conforming to nature, appropriately utilizing and transforming nature, creating a good living environment, and achieving the perfect state of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
How to carefully examine the natural environment (that is, choose land)? Adapting to nature is not equal to resignation, so how to adapt to nature and what is the principle of nature (analyzing the principle of heaven and earth)? How to use and transform nature (in geomantic omen, how to set up vertical bureau? How to get the right time, place and people, and achieve the unity of heaven and man? And so on are all important topics in feng shui research.
