Geomantic omen in mbth (metaphysical term)

Feng Shui is a mysterious art with a long history in the Chinese nation. It is also known as Kate art and Qing-nang art, and more academically, it is called Kanyu. Feng Shui is the force of nature and the great magnetic energy of the universe. Wind is vitality and field energy, while water is flowing and changing. Geomantic omen is the art of observing geography on the spot, which was also called geomantic omen theory in ancient times. This is a philosophy that studies the laws of the environment and the universe. Since man is a part of nature, nature is also a part of man, reaching the realm of "harmony between man and nature". The founder of Feng Shui is Xuan Nv, the Taoist goddess. The relatively perfect knowledge of Feng Shui rose in the Warring States Period. The core idea of Feng Shui is the harmony between man and nature, so as to achieve "harmony between man and nature". Early geomantic omen is mainly about the methods and principles of the location, orientation and construction of palaces, houses, villages and cemeteries, and it is a kind of metaphysics to choose suitable places.

There are two definitions of geomantic omen: one refers to edema disease, which is mostly caused by the invasion of wind evil, the loss of qi due to the obstruction of waterways and the retention of water in the body; Secondly, it refers to the natural conditions of residential bases and cemeteries, such as veins, mountains and rivers, etc.

The Origin of China's Ancient Prose

What is "Feng Shui"? There are countless people who have defined Feng Shui since ancient times. Guo Pu, who first defined geomantic omen in history, said in his famous book "The Book of Burial": "When the burials are angry, the gas will be dispersed by the wind, and the boundary water will stop. The ancients gathered to stop it, so it was called Feng Shui. The method of geomantic omen is water first and wind second. It can be seen that the technique of geomantic omen, that is, the technique of knowing each other, is the core of people's choice of living or burying environment and dealing with the law of cosmic change, so as to achieve the goal of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. Feng Shui can be divided into Yang Zhai and Yin Zhai.

trace (back) to the source of sth

Feng shui can be traced back to ancient times.

"Formal method" and "Cause method";

China Feng Shui "shape method" is mainly used for site selection and shape selection; The "logical method" focuses on determining the indoor and outdoor orientation mode; In addition, there is a kind of "Japanese law" used to choose auspicious days to make things happen; The law of auxiliary truth chooses unfavorable measures to remedy the laws. According to the applicant, China Feng Shui is divided into Yang Zhai Feng Shui, that is, Yang Zhai Xiang method, which specializes in the location and layout of Guo Cheng houses where strangers live; Yin house geomantic omen, that is, Yin house burial method, specializes in the location and layout of the tombs of the dead. China's geomantic omen has different living environments, including the so-called secluded house, the house in the wilderness and the house in the valley. For example, ternary geography focuses on the application of geomantic omen. For houses in the wilderness and in the valley, due to their close relationship with the surrounding natural geographical environment, more attention is paid to forms and methods; However, due to the limitation of its external environment, Jingyi House often adopts the way of paying equal attention to form and rationality. The school of geomantic omen in China pays attention to finding dragons, examining sand, looking at water, taking acupoints and orienting. However, it pays attention to the theories of Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Branches and Branches, Eight Diagrams and Nine Palaces, and establishes a set of strict field work tools-jujube compass to determine the location planning orientation. China geomantic omen, whether it is a situational school or a rational style, has formed many practical methods in history, but it must follow the following three principles: the principle of integration of heaven and earth, the principle of balance between yin and yang, and the principle of five elements. Geomantic omen theory is actually a natural science integrating geophysics, hydrogeology, cosmology, meteorology, environmental landscape, architecture, ecology and human life informatics. Its purpose is to seriously investigate and understand the natural environment, use and transform nature, and create a good living environment. Ancient people in China often said: "Love is the body of the house, blood is the spring, meat is the ground, hair is the vegetation, clothes are the house, and the crown is the portal. If there is, it is elegant and auspicious. " This is the humanization of the house, which shows that the proper collocation of the pattern is very important to the house and people.

Unity of heaven, earth and man:

Feng Shui runs through the whole process of traditional architectural activities in China. From site selection planning, single buildings, garden sketches, indoor and outdoor decoration design to construction, it is almost everywhere. From the perspective of modern real estate brand planning, we should first establish several geomantic views on the architectural layout of modern residential areas: Tai Chi's ubiquitous existence view, scene atmosphere view and scene atmosphere orientation view.
