Geographical and Cultural Research on Traditional Fengshui in China

The biggest proposition of China's geomantic omen is the unity of heaven, earth and man. Therefore, in the long-term practice, geomantic omen has summed up a set of specific operation methods about heaven and earth, the so-called celestial luck, that is, the cosmic gas field-the periodic change characteristics of celestial bodies in the universe. According to the temporal and spatial evolution of celestial bodies, China Feng Shui summarized the fate of Heaven as "the theory of three yuan and nine fortunes". The so-called geo-transport, that is, the gas field of the earth-the earth is influenced by the sun and the moon, and its geology, landforms and physical fields vary widely with geographical location, forming a unique microclimate on the earth's surface. China geomantic omen summarized the ground movement as "the theory of sand and water in the dragon cave".

The so-called dragon cave sand water is a powerful gas field point. The basic pattern of typical geomantic omen is surrounded by mountains and waters. There is an ancient saying: "A leopard cannot change his spots." Arch is a gesture of greeting gifts in the past, called arch. This gesture is a fist in one hand and a hug in the other. Arched, describing the state of round mountains and rivers, which are arched, forming a strong environmental atmosphere.

The ancients talked about the characteristics of geomantic omen: "When it meets the wind, it will disperse, and when it meets the water, it will be bounded." Boundary means that to create an aura between mountains and water, water must be used to control the wind. The ancients found that there is a geographical form with these two conditions, that is, "the mountains are surrounded by water", that is, the mountains stop wind and water, "the mountains are surrounded by water" and "the mountains are surrounded by water", which is an important law of geomantic omen.

Outstanding people, outstanding people, and a good feng shui spirit will produce outstanding people. According to this principle, where the ancients chose to build their capital, there were landforms close to mountains and rivers. The four ancient capitals of China pay attention to the geographical environment, Xi 'an, Luoyang, Beijing and Nanjing all have good gas fields.

Xi, an ancient capital, is surrounded by mountains on three sides in the northwest, the Yellow River in the southeast and the mountains and rivers. More than a dozen dynasties established their capitals here in history. The ancients called this gas field "Wang Qi". Look at Beijing, Luoyang and Nanjing, which are also surrounded by mountains and waters, with strong momentum.

"Relying on mountains and waters" should also talk about specific conditions, and the key link is to seize the gas as the ancients said. Qi has two characteristics, namely, sheltering from the wind and catching water. This is our Feng Shui view. How to avoid the wind? In winter, the north wind is strong. In the west, northwest and north, plus part of the east, there should be a ring blocking the road. In winter, if the northwest and north winds can't blow, the air will not disperse, that is, the west, north and east will be towering.

Mountains and rivers have no south ring. When the macro climate is good, consider the microclimate. If the macro climate is not good, the microclimate will not be good. Some bungalows are built due south, with tall buildings on the back and sides, sandwiched in the middle. This place is not good. If the sun doesn't shine, you can't be angry, and accidents will often happen in such places.

In this case, there are many bungalows. Mainly looking at the north and south, there are towering buildings in the north, so there is no problem. It's good to block the north wind. I'm afraid the south will cover me up, I can't see the sun, and the road of anger will block me. Encountering such a place is inevitable and fierce, and paying attention indoors is also a fly in the ointment.

Why are mountains surrounded by water bound to be angry? First of all, we should discuss why we should embrace the mountain. This is directly related to the microwave characteristics of the gas field.

We know that apart from wave-particle duality, microwave has its own unique personality: it has strong penetrating power, can penetrate clouds, can penetrate hundreds of meters of loose dry soil, and also has certain penetrating power to rocks; More importantly, when the microwave meets the wind, it will float away and its energy will be weakened. It can be seen from the microwave reflection curves of the sea surface under different wind speeds that the microwave reflectivity increases under strong winds, that is, "it will disperse when it meets the wind"; This is also an important reason why the mountains should be enclosed, because the cosmic gas received on the ground can be better stored.

At the same time, the mountain ring is also conducive to better absorbing the gas of the universe. Because the mountain ring is shaped like a pot-shaped satellite TV receiver, it can greatly improve its efficiency of receiving cosmic gas, which is actually the conclusion drawn by our ancestors after long-term observation of nature.

Why does the water ring? This is also directly related to the characteristics of microwave, because microwave has great affinity with water and can fully absorb microwave, that is, "stop when it meets water." According to this feature, microwave can heat food containing water (microwave oven principle). The reflectivity of pure water to electromagnetic radiation is less than 3% in the blue band, that is, more than 97% is absorbed.

The absorption rate increases with the increase of electromagnetic wave wavelength. After infrared waves, especially microwaves, are almost completely absorbed, the reflectivity is only 1%- 1.5%. But when the water contains suspended sediment, the reflectivity of the water body increases. Especially in the red light to near infrared light band, it produces strong reflection, which means that the ability to absorb electromagnetic waves in turbid water is greatly reduced. When the water body contains algae, plankton and aquatic plants, due to the role of chlorophyll, the water body produces high reflection in the infrared band and forms a strong absorption valley in the red band.

When the water contains pollutants such as oil, it will produce high reflection in the ultraviolet band, that is, it will lose the ability to absorb short waves, which is harmful to human body. It is precisely because of these characteristics that the ancients not only proposed that water should be embraced, but also further emphasized the quality of water. The cleaner the water, the better the feng shui. All this reflects our ancestors' understanding of the nature of qi, but it has not risen to the modern biological theory of spectral characteristics.
