Is the geomantic omen in China really that effective when imperial academy didn't open the middle gate in Qing Dynasty?

The reason why imperial academy didn't open the middle door was based on the consideration of geomantic omen. Opening the middle gate will not retain talents, which is unlucky according to feng shui, because there is a yellow place not far from the middle gate, which is definitely unlucky. China's geomantic omen has always been very knowledgeable. In the past, building a house was very particular, whether to sit facing south or in what direction. It is said that you can't face the river, it will wash away the money, and you can't face the cliff, otherwise you can't lift your head all your life. The orientation, topography, door and window layout of the building are very particular, and even the moving is very particular, which is the doorway of Feng Shui in China.

As far as I know, many houses in Chongqing are newly built or improved, and even the geomantic omen of China will be applied when buying and choosing houses. People in China want good luck in everything, not to mention a house where they want to live day and night.

Nowadays, feng shui masters are also very popular among the people. I moved home a few days ago and invited the local Mr. Feng Shui. After calculating the recent auspicious day of the ecliptic, I can move without looking at Feng Shui on that sunny day, but I asked Mr. Feng Shui to move another day, because it is an evil day and it is not suitable for moving a house.

It can be seen that the geomantic omen in China has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, especially in rural areas. Although the origin of Feng Shui is based on the Book of Changes and other classics, the specific scientific nature remains to be verified, but there are still many people in China who believe it, preferring to believe it is auspicious, otherwise it will always be stuck in their hearts. When something bad happens, it will be linked with people who don't believe in Feng Shui, leading to having to believe it. I'm worried that this thing really should be believed. So it depends on whether you believe it or not.
