The Relationship between Urban Planning and Zhouyi

Urban planning has a deep relationship with geomantic omen. The theoretical basis of geomantic omen is Zhouyi. The Book of Changes is the basic concept of China's early urban planning, which stresses the harmony between the right place and the right time, the way of nature and the yin and yang of geomantic omen. It is also widely used in our modern urban planning. For example, modern urban planning should pay attention to natural topography and landscape environment, minimize human traces, and integrate buildings and cities into the natural environment. Although it is made by people, it is natural.
