What is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui, also known as Feng Shui, has a long history! As early as the pre-Qin period, there were activities to find a house. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a saying in the history books: "If you become a king, you will want to stay in the city and let Zhao Gong stay in the government first." Record. In the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian's Historical Records also said, "When Liang Wudi is filial, a family meeting will be held. Will it be desirable one day? " ..... KanYuJia yue "records. Liu Ji, a great strategist, geomantic master and author of Jade Ion in Ming Dynasty, visited Lantau Island during his southern tour and said, "This is a wonderful Lantau Island, and it will be rich in the world in the future! Lantau Island, the second largest island in Hong Kong. ) "Now the facts prove his inference. While we admire his superb attainments, we also have to marvel at the wonders of this academic discipline!

So what is honesty? "Huainanzi" has: "Kan, Heaven also; Hey, the tunnel is also. " Heaven is, and so is the earth. The study of integrity is the study of heaven and earth. It is based on the Book of Confused Luoshu, combined with the eight diagrams of nine planets and the five elements of Yin and Yang, and integrates the movement of the sky, the transformation of the earth and human beings into it, forming a special theoretical system, thus inferring or changing the good fortune of human beings. Therefore, feng shui is closely related to people's fate.

From the reason why it is called Feng Shui, we can see the importance of Feng Shui in the whole academic theory of Feng Shui. In fact, the fundamental purpose of studying Feng Shui is to study "Qi". Huangdi Neijing said: "Angry people are the foundation of human beings; House is the hub of Yin and Yang, and it is the orbit mode of human relations. Appropriate is constant, and inappropriate is constant. " I ching said: "the stars drive the weather, and mountains and rivers drive the earth's atmosphere." The weather is sunny, the earth is cloudy, the yin and yang are combined, the heavens and the earth are dense, and everything breeds. " This shows the importance of qi to people. But why learn Feng Shui? In fact, Qi and Feng Shui are inextricably linked. As the ancient saying goes, Qi flies with the wind and ends in the water world. The ancients gathered together to make it last for a long time, so it was called Feng Shui. He also said: "Without water, the wind will come and go, and with water, the wind will stop, so the word Feng Shui is the most important word in geography. Among them, the land with water is the top, and the land with wind is the bottom. " "Water Dragon Classic" also includes "water will disperse when it flies, but it will be cohesive when it is injected", "Look at the water before you see the mountain, and stop looking for land when there is no water in the mountain" and so on. , all illustrate the importance of wind and water. In real life, from a macro point of view, places near water will develop faster than places without water. For example, Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province, South Korea and Singapore were ahead of the trend in the middle of the 20th century when the Asian economy was generally depressed. In the 1960s and 1970s, their economies grew rapidly and became the vanguard of the Asian economy, bringing new vitality to the whole Asian economy, which attracted worldwide attention. They are called the Four Little Dragons of Asia. However, when you study them, you find that they are located in different places, with different languages and cultures and different economic systems, but they have an amazing similarity, that is, they are all around the sea. This reality coincides with the theory of Feng Shui. Now China's economy is developing with each passing day, and the coastal areas are developing faster than the inland areas. Of course, there are many examples like this. All these fully illustrate the authenticity and effectiveness of Feng Shui theory.

From ancient times to the present, there are countless works in the field of geomantic omen, and hundred schools of thought contends, but the mainstream is nothing more than situation and qi. The situation school pays attention to the combination of the position of Luan Tou, while the rational school pays attention to the principle of luck and wealth. Although each has its own strengths and has risen to a certain level, the results and effects are consistent, which can be said to be the same.

First, the principle of situational schools

When it comes to the school of situation, people will think of Guan Ju and Guo Pu, the founders of Feng Shui, who used the situation to discuss good or bad luck. The situation school emphasizes the geographical situation, mainly dragons, caves, sand and water, and always stresses the ancient and fierce. Although the Situational School is divided into three factions: Luan Tou School, Xiang School and Xing Fa School, in fact, these three factions are interrelated and not completely separated.

1, Luantou School. Luan Tou represents the situation of mountains and rivers in nature, and Luan Tou in natural geography includes dragons, sand and mountains. Dragon refers to the mountains that stretch in the distance; Sand refers to the hills within 360 degrees around the cave site; A mountain refers to a mountain peak far away from the cave.

2. Image school. Image is actually a very profound knowledge in Feng Shui, because it visually regards the mountain as an animal or other object. For example, a mountain is shaped like a lion. There are many names about images, such as Beauty Looking in the Mirror, Seven Stars Accompanied by the Moon and so on.

3. Form and law school. Shape method refers to some laws in Liutou Jing, which is developed on the basis of image school, and mainly discusses the law of cooperation between image and acupoint field. For example, there is a way to hedge with the cave field, which the metaphysical school calls "an arrow goes through the heart".

In short, you can't see the image without the mountain (Luantou): you can't see the mountain without the image and shape. In many places with high mountains in China, many geomancers attach great importance to the images of mountains and Luantou because of their great influence.

Second, rational style is also called house school or ternary rational style.

Due to the rational style, almost all the theoretical viewpoints of Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Eight Diagrams, River Map, Luoshu, Astrology, Shensha, Yin Na, Qimen and Liu Ren were brought into its argumentation principle, forming a very complicated geomantic theory. It is precisely because the management style is too complicated that many small sects are divided. It is precisely because of this that people who study Feng Shui should pay special attention to their choices, otherwise they will not learn anything, but may also make disastrous Feng Shui.

1, Bazhai School. There are only two points in the Eight Houses School: one is to sit on the Youxing Mountain and talk about good and bad luck. The so-called wandering stars are: crouching, heavenly doctor, angry, four auspicious stars and five ghosts, despair, evil, six evil spirits and four evil stars. According to the ups and downs of Bagua Mountain in the house, eight stars respectively coincide with this wandering star in the direction of innate gossip, which is auspicious and ominous. Second, according to the residence gossip, it is divided into Dongsi House and Xisi House, and combined with human life, that is, Dongsi Life matches Dongsi House and Xisi Life matches Xisi House. Generally speaking, the calculation of divination of Bazhai School is based on the annual expenditure. In other words, if people born in the same year are of the same sex, their divination is the same, and their feng shui layout is the same. So millions of people are born a year. According to the geomantic view of Bazhai School, they are all in one place. Therefore, the geomantic theory of Bazhai School is too simple and rough. In particular, the point of view that the fate of things matches the East Fourth Hospital and the fate of the West Fourth Hospital is even more rough and difficult to be accurate. Readers who want to learn Feng Shui should never copy it by mistake. However, it is still of reference value to talk about the good or ill luck of wandering stars, the way of cooperating with mysterious flying stars or the indoor layout. I will discuss the specific usage later.

2.numerology. Using the five elements of the owner's life and the five elements of twenty-four mountains and flying stars in the sky to arrange geomantic omen, combined with decorative colors, has important guiding significance for indoor decoration and geomantic omen adjustment of various houses.

3. Sanhe School and twenty-four Shantou Schools. On the basis of landscape, the relationship between Twenty-four Mountains and Songjia Mountain was discussed. The so-called "sitting on the mountain" actually refers to the relationship between the five elements sitting on a compass and the peaks or buildings outside the house. Divide water is to discuss good or bad luck with the twelfth birthday. In numerology, the twelve immortals are longevity, bathing, wearing a crown, being an official, prosperity, decline, illness, death, burial, death, giving birth and raising. Generally speaking, there is a difference between the upward distribution of water and the coming and going of water, which is mainly used in yin houses. However, in Sanhe school, the upward distribution of water and the twelve birthday stars are a mixed image of yin and yang, which often leads to deviation in application. Therefore, the author reminds Yi You, who is studying Feng Shui, that the twelve immortals should not use all the water, but should distinguish between Yin and Yang.

4. turn over the hexagrams. Dig out the nine planetary hexagrams with gossip, and then discuss good and bad luck with landscape. There are several ways to change divination, such as the auxiliary star divination, also called the revolving divination of Huangshi, which is based on the following figures: Wolf-greedy, Giant Gate, Lucun, Wen Qu, Lian Zhen, Wu Qu, Pojun, Zuo Fu and Youbi.

5. Kong Xuan Xing Fei School. It is to transport the mountain-to-mountain coordination element to the mountain-to-mountain coordination element to see if the internal layout of water-to-mountain coordination is good or bad. The so-called nine planets refer to: one white is the wolf of Kan, one black is the giant gate of Kun, three green is the treasure of earthquake, four green is Xunzhi, three green is, six white is, seven red is, eight white is the left of Gen, and nine purple is the right of Li. The essence of metaphysics is to pay attention to the rise and fall of Yuan Yun, as well as the restraint of the nine numbers 1-9 and the coordination of likes and dislikes in fate. As long as readers can grasp this point, even if metaphysics has been introduced, generally speaking, it can also adjust indoor feng shui for people. But to grasp the true essence of metaphysics, of course, we must study deeply.

6. Stars. The Star School refers to Kang Jinlong, Stone Rabbit Raccoon, Fang Ri Rabbit, Heart Moon Fox and Tail Fire Tiger, which represent the five elements respectively. According to the theory of sitting orientation, it is mainly used to favor the twenty-four bears.

Qimen School, Wuxing School, Mysterious Divination School, Golden Lock and Jade View School, Ziwei Large Numbers School and so on.

Strictly speaking, the Feng Shui school is a situational school and a rational school. Their theories also permeate and blend with each other, which means that all laws belong to sects. Therefore, learning Feng Shui should be eclectic and absorb the essence of the two factions. It is necessary to master rational style and absorb the essence of situational school. However, because there are many schools of geomantic omen, which are useful and useless, learners must discard the false and retain the true, take the rough and extract the fine, and don't go into the misunderstanding of geomantic omen.

Feng Shui is a traditional cultural phenomenon, a popular folk custom, a skill of choosing good fortune to avoid evil spirits, a knowledge about the environment and people, a theory about the theory and practice system of yin house and yang house, and the accumulation of people's long-term practical experience. From the perspective of modern scientific theory, geomantic omen is a comprehensive science integrating geophysics, hydrogeology, environmental landscape, ecological architecture, cosmology, geomagnetic field orientation, meteorology and human informatics.
