Background: Zhouyi is an ancient book with profound connotation, wide influence and long history in the history of Chinese civilization. For thousands of years, Zhouyi has attracted people to study and apply it in various fields with its external charm and profound connotation, forming a huge research system of Yi-ology. Professor Yang Zhenning, a famous scientist, affirmed the position of the Book of Changes in his works: The Book of Changes is an ancient document with a long history and occupies an extremely important position in the traditional culture of China.

Obviously, the value of the Book of Changes should be affirmed, but now many people distort the value of the Book of Changes and regard it as a cover for making money and a signboard for cheating. On the street or in front of some places, under the guise of Zhouyi, some geomancers who tell fortune and measure geomantic omen don't understand the gossip of Zhouyi at all, but only use golden words to deceive people. Moreover, the number of these people is increasing, forming a trend of industrialization. ...

This newspaper invites people from all walks of life to discuss the phenomenon of "Mr. Feng Shui" on the street. The following guest comments do not represent our views.

Most fortune tellers experience ups and downs.

Moderator: A scholar studying metaphysics in Taiwan Province Province said, "Fortune tellers are very similar to religious people. If they have no sympathy for others and no goodwill towards others, the essence of fortune-telling fraud and religious fraud is the same, and they all use the misfortune of others to make money. " Indeed, most people who look for fortune tellers to see feng shui have more or less several sad hurdles.

Jin (7 1 year-old, engaged in fortune-telling for ten years): I don't know any Chinese characters, so I haven't learned books like Zhouyi. When talking to fortune tellers, the most important thing is to observe what to say, what to read and understand some psychology. These colleagues under Hongqiao are basically the same thing. Many people ask me for fortune-telling, not because of his bad life, but because of such problems. In most cases, I will put in a good word with them, which makes it easier to make money. Unlike everyone's imagination, most middle-aged people really come to tell their fortune. They have experienced many difficulties, but there are not many elderly people.

Ms Cui (52-year-old housewife): Last year, my daughter married her boyfriend. When will we become parents? So, with the help of my relatives, I found a fortune teller who is said to be very accurate in seeing birthdays. He has two children and set a wedding date. But then the child happened to be busy that day, so he found another gentleman and chose another day. Interestingly, the fortune teller of the latter described the former as useless, inaccurate and incompatible with the five elements. By my side, there are many fortune tellers who show their children the days. It takes 100 yuan to make good luck.

Mr. Jiang (39-year-old carpenter): Because of the wart on my forehead, people have said that my life is good since I was a child. But I have been working hard all these years, and my life is not much better. Recently, the ex-wife left and the children stayed. Because of a little skill, it is not difficult to find a second marriage around here. It is difficult to find a person who knows the product mix, so at this time, it is not expensive to find a fortune teller. One is to get a good marriage, and the other is to see if I can get lucky.

Mr. Wang (47 years old, in business): Many business friends look for a master who makes names before opening a shop. In my opinion, the key to the benefit depends on the ability level of the operator and the grasp of the internal and external environment, and has little to do with the name of the store. Although under the eloquent rhetoric of fortune-tellers, most people are in a fog and can't see why, but many people can afford it and are willing to pay for the hundreds of dollars that they find someone to make a name for themselves.

How big is Feng Shui?

Moderator: According to relevant reports, a university in Nanjing has added the course of geomantic omen to the course of architecture. What kind of concept is Feng Shui in the minds of people who are getting rich and somewhat elegant?

Hao Bo (Executive Dean of China Yijing Research Institute): What is Feng Shui? It is a kind of living art that people yearn for, an art of indoor adjustment, planning and architecture, an outdoor landscape art planning, and an aesthetic planning of humanistic feelings, that is, "harmony" in the "harmony between man and nature", which pursues a harmonious atmosphere, which is in line with the concept of Zhouyi. Feng Shui is not a superstition, but a very important branch derived from the Book of Changes. The real Book of Changes does not tell fortune. Many people are just lying under the guise of the Book of Changes. Yi-ology, geomantic omen and feudal superstition are completely different concepts, which are essentially different from geomantic fortune-telling in streets and alleys. Feng Shui represents a kind of outlook on life, respects the life of self and people around him, resolutely opposes the destruction of the ecological environment, and establishes and expands a good natural environment and human environment. We should use scientific knowledge, attitude, methods and spirit to study China Feng Shui.

Now many people are concerned about sub-health and incurable diseases, which are closely related to our surrounding environment. The simplest metaphor is that if you live in the shade for a long time and your body doesn't receive sunlight, you will feel uncomfortable and even get sick. So when choosing a house, everyone likes the combination of yin and yang, which is the reason. In fact, many feng shui phenomena are easy to explain.

Xiao Nan (27 years old, teacher): "Yi Xue"? If you have time and ability, you'd better explore the unknown world. We should not always study things written by our predecessors for thousands of years. At that time, because the language was underdeveloped or the recording medium cost was high, I had to say it briefly. Just like the memory and hard disk in the early days of computer development, we must cherish every byte, calculate and make full use of every byte space. In any case, Zhouyi can only represent the germination of a certain ancient science, and it can never be compared with modern science, and it is not worth our modern people's rush. I don't know anything about the Book of Changes, and I don't want to know about it, but many people I meet who flatter the Book of Changes are mostly vain.

Wen Wen (26 years old, studying for a master's degree): Who first summed up or deduced a modern scientific law, principle and conjecture from gossip for thousands of years? Some people take the meridian theory and so on as scientific arguments. We know that acupuncture can cure diseases, but what are meridians? Is it tangible or intangible? What position does it occupy in anatomy? Is its function physical or chemical? If it is this or that, how to detect it? I'm afraid even the so-called I ching master himself can't tell you why. How do others accept it? I think, if we can infer and verify the real science of the light emitted by the interaction between Yin and He from the Book of Changes, I dare say that this achievement is absolutely no less than the knowledge of relativity and DNA.

Mr. Yang (Zhouyi lover): Modern people always scoff at the word "Feng Shui", or regard it as superstition and absurdity. In fact, this is because in the course of thousands of years' development, many people have bad intentions, pushing Yi-ology and Feng Shui to the category of superstition. What we should do is to get rid of the superstitious sense of responsibility and strip off the mysterious coat of Feng Shui with a rational attitude. We should use the spirit of criticism to select the essence from the rough, and inherit and develop China, an ancient metaphysics. On the premise of getting rid of superstition, we should understand Feng Shui and use it to benefit the society.

Most feng shui fortune tellers are liars.

Moderator: I have the honor to know several street vendors of Feng Shui. Some of them read fortune-telling and some of them work part-time at Feng Shui House cemetery. After having a heart-to-heart talk with them, I learned a lot about fortune telling and the mysteries in fortune telling.

Patricia Lam Fung (fortune teller): It's very important to watch your words and deeds. For example, when a 26-year-old woman and a man of similar age came to read palms that day, the first thing to judge was the relationship between them. According to their age, the woman's posture has given birth to a child, that is to say, if it is a husband and wife, it is an old couple. The intimacy between them is not like that of a normal husband and wife, which requires keen eyes and careful reasoning. After you are sure that you are not husband and wife, you still have to pretend to say a few words when you pick up your hands. The job occupation can be estimated from the dress, the economic situation can also be seen, and the occupation can be estimated from the calluses on the hands.

Hao Bo: Many people complain that their descendants are not officials and rich people. They blame Feng Shui, that is, houses. I think this statement is very bad! God gives everyone fair time, and a day is 24 hours. Why do people succeed? Only when conditions+opportunities, learning+wisdom and quality+psychology are combined can we succeed. At the same time, many people lack faith, and then lack self-restraint, which makes many so-called Mr. Feng Shui take advantage of it and makes many people embark on the road of superstition.

At present, some universities have set up architectural geomantic omen specialty in architecture specialty, which is a typical example. Of course, I still want to remind everyone that Feng Shui and Mr. Feng Shui have completely different attitudes. One is the science of natural and humanistic environment, and it is a kind of knowledge, while watching Feng Shui is a superstitious activity that deceives people under the guise of Yijing Feng Shui!

Who is seeking feng shui benefits?

Moderator: I once interviewed the manager of a cemetery. He is outspoken, and it is much easier to make money from the "dead" than from the living. And those who look at feng shui fortune-telling make money faster. Nowadays, in the chain of Feng Shui industry, a large number of various Feng Shui gentlemen have been parasitized.

Hao Bo: People who study the Book of Changes and Feng Shui can't calculate divination, because scholars of the Book of Changes must have virtue. This is a basic personal quality problem. For thousands of years, geomantic omen has played an important role in China culture, which has a great relationship with human cultural life and economic development. The Book of Changes and Feng Shui are comprehensive knowledge condensed by human efforts. The Book of Changes is a science involving aesthetics, psychology, architecture and geography. The study of Yijing Feng Shui needs a deep theoretical foundation, not just a stall. The "prediction" of Mr. Feng Shui is only an instant induction, which is based on people's faces, postures and costumes. Therefore, most fortune tellers are not credible.

Qingyu (4 1 year-old, village cadre): Not shocking. There is a funeral in our village. Within 30 minutes, Mr. Feng Shui's phone will arrive immediately, and it is still on-site service. See the tomb, one-stop service at a fixed time, not to mention 300 yuan, spend thousands more. Later, after careful inquiry, I learned that several villages have Mr. Feng Shui's "eyes". As long as people hold weddings and funerals, these informants can get a certain amount of information fees. With economic benefits, their reaction speed is very fast. The benefits of doing this business in the city are even better. City people pay attention to face, especially when they are buried. These objectively nourish a group of new fortune tellers.

Moderator: There is a folk saying that "fortune-telling is all in the vernacular", and fortune-telling is mostly deceptive. The emergence, development and outcome of anything are determined by its internal laws, and external conditions also play a certain role. A person's wealth and misfortune are not the manifestation of the divine power of God or immortals, but the synthesis of internal and external factors. Only a stupid person would give the money in his pocket to a fortune teller in order to get some masturbation.
