How did the ancients in China view the natural view of "organic earth"?

China's ancient traditional geomantic geography thought regards relatively independent living space as a living body. For example, a house, a village, a city or a capital, or even the whole earth can be regarded as a living body. This is what we often call the "organic earth" view of nature. According to China's ancient geographical concept, this living body "is the bone of the mountain;" The soil is the meat of the mountain; Water is the blood of the mountain; Vegetation is the fur of the mountain. They are all related by blood. "

Cai's On Development in Song Dynasty directly compared the four elements that make up the earth with the human body, saying: "Water is the blood of human body, so it is too soft; Fire is human qi, so it is too rigid; Soil is human flesh, so it is not so soft; Stone is the skeleton of human body, so it is less rigid. Combine fire, water, soil and stone to the ground; I am still a flesh and blood person. There is no reason to get close to the body and take it far. "

In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Gong and Bu Yingtian wrote "Ode to Snow Heart" and said: "Those who are endowed with bodies have nine tricks. Shaped like the ground, Qian Shan is full of water. From the root, it is hidden or obvious. Fetal interest breeds, and God becomes infinite. "
