Finally, what is Feng Shui? It can also be understood and defined from other different directions:
In order not to hurt the self-esteem of the failed and affected party, not to sprinkle salt on the wound of the failed and affected party, not to prick the needle in the heart of the failed and affected party, and to give these people reasonable psychological comfort, Feng Shui can also be called "retrogression". Many tragedies are obviously caused by subjective mistakes, and many are obviously subjective "helpless" tragedies. If you look for the reason subjectively, it will undoubtedly hurt the psychology of the parties again, and the parties to the tragedy are always worried about the occurrence of the tragedy and cannot dispel their doubts. At this time, Feng Shui always leads people to look for reasons from outside the objective, that is, to find a reasonable explanation from the definition of "intangible Feng Shui terms", which is actually to induce the parties to look for it.
In order to blame the subjective responsibility on the objective, Feng Shui can also be called "ruffian helplessness". If it is clearly a crime of corruption and bribery, Feng Shui can be defined as "a fortune star has committed a crime and brought heaven"; Obviously, it is caused by wealth, and Feng Shui can be defined as "killing wealth and encountering ghosts". In short, the parties concerned are "innocent" but "wrong" in geomantic omen. This kind of blaming the subjective responsibility on the director can objectively reduce the ideological burden and satisfy some vanity; But on the other hand, it induces people not to look for reasons from personal subjective direction, not to work hard from personal subjective direction, but to shirk their responsibilities from other directions, which is also the biggest shortcoming, mistake and weakness of Feng Shui.
This is associated with other scenes. One crisp autumn day, a lovely mother and her beloved baby were playing outdoors. The baby accidentally fell down and began to cry loudly. The lovely mother quickly picked up the baby and patted the dust on her body with distress. Then, facing the farm, the lovely mother stamped her foot several times and said, "This damn farm made my baby fall." At this time, the beloved baby burst into tears, took a few breaths, answered and cried, "Go home and get the hoe, and be sure to dig it out." So the lovely mother took her beloved baby home to find a hoe. This is a true portrayal and epitome of some practices of Feng Shui.
My ancestral grave faces south, and there is a well in the northwest 10 meter with a road in the middle. Does this well affect the ancestral graves? -For a geomantic treasure, there is a well ten meters northwest of the cemetery, which definitely has an impact on geomantic omen. The reason is that for the emperor, every day is in a high-risk and target position. If anything goes wrong, he will go through his heart and fall into the abyss. The tragic image is absolutely unbearable. For ordinary people, it doesn't matter whether there are wells in the cemetery every two or three meters, because ordinary people are not afraid of falling into the endless bottomless abyss and never worry about breaking into pieces. The reason is that ordinary people are at the bottom of the abyss and are no longer afraid of falling deeper, so nothing will happen again. Therefore, people also call Feng Shui "the skill of emperors"; Feng Shui is called "the study of emperors".
To truly understand the meaning of the word "Feng Shui", it is best to go to the desert and plateau in the northwest of China to experience a period of life, experience it for yourself and feel what the wind is. What is water? Northwest desert, thousands of miles away, no vegetation, no water, low temperature, human beings and all living things can not survive; In contrast, in the humid and warm climate of southeast China, a seed can take root and sprout on a stone and grow lovely plants, and you will know what is the real driving force of life-that is only water; Now those big deserts will become oases and full of vitality in a very short time as long as the water storage reaches a certain degree of saturation. At high altitude, altitude sickness is severe and breathing is difficult, so you will think about how pleasant the air at low altitude is and how great the air is-that is, how windy it is.
Feng shui, that is, some kind of taboo. China people have specific taboos of China people, foreigners have specific taboos of foreigners, and all ethnic groups have specific taboos of all ethnic groups. The specific taboo of China people is called Feng Shui, and the specific taboo of foreigners is not necessarily called Feng Shui, but it does not mean that foreigners do not have specific taboos. Taboos are caused by many factors, such as customs, views on something, taboos on certain animals and plants, taboos on certain words, cultural meanings and implications. For example, there can be no "trees" and "people" in the walled yard explained by the word "sleepy" and "prisoner", which is a typical joke; Doors and windows should be small, but not too big, which is a taboo custom evolved from the lack of wood; Red evil spirit is a ban evolved from some animals' special fear of red; The head of the bed should not face west. It comes from the Buddhism and Taoism culture that "death is liberation, and death in the west is the destination of death", and so on. Other statements attached to this ban are based on further interpretation of this ban ... and so on; Originated from myth, such as peach wood to ward off evil spirits; Due to the unbearable heat, there are many evil arrangements in Xiyang light room; Because of the cold weather, there are many taboos on the northwest doors and windows, and so on. In order to better find the reasons and answers from the objective outside, it is natural to "evil" to see sharp, angular, vertical, horizontal and bow objects, stones and broken mountains from the doors and windows without sprinkling salt from the subjective inner pain. No matter in the past or now, it must be easy to find one or two characteristics of pointed, angular, vertical, intersecting, bow-shaped objects, stones and broken mountains that can be seen in the field of vision of doors and windows. People must have a sense of balance and comfort when they find that one or two are not subjective but objective hazards in the most difficult moment.
Taboos, some of which are reasonable and scientific, and some of which are customized, do not mean that they are all reasonable and scientific. Such as: superstition, pregnancy can not customize the wardrobe? -this custom can only be considered that there is such a ban in a very small number of places and people, and it cannot represent universality. During pregnancy, be quiet, not moving things, not building at home, but that doesn't mean you can't customize it outside. It is also possible not to move into the house immediately after customization. Such a ban can be explained by modern scientific common sense.
