What exactly is Feng Shui?

In China, there is a saying among the people: One life, two fortunes, three geomantic omen, four products, and five studies. Everyone in China knows Feng Shui, and the truth of Feng Shui is actually a sentence: the blessed live in a blessed land, and the blessed live in a blessed land. In the 5,000-year history of China, Feng Shui has been integrated into people's lives and has become an important part. From emperors and generals to ordinary people, from palaces and courtyards to streets, almost everyone has dealt with Feng Shui. Whether it is the location and layout of the capital, the design and construction of the city, the orientation of the yin house and the yang house, the placement of furniture and so on. , it is necessary to find someone to see feng shui, calculate fortune, harmony between man and nature, and avoid misfortune. When it comes to Feng Shui, many people must have many questions, such as what Feng Shui is, why Feng Shui works, the source of Feng Shui and so on. If these basic problems are not explained clearly, it will hinder many people's understanding of Feng Shui, especially some people in Chinese mainland, who will simply classify it as superstition and reject it. Then let's take it step by step, first from the surface source of the term Feng Shui. Feng Shui is a natural phenomenon. Naturally, there are two levels: one is the form and news of everything in the world that people can see, touch and hear. One is the power and breath that people can't see, touch or hear, which promotes the changes of the form and quality of all things. Together, it is also called nature. A generation of Feng Shui master Yang Junsong left people a pair of Feng Shui couplets: natural landscapes are good for Feng Shui, and heaven and earth are dry and bright; Horizontal batch: wind and water. This is the most popular, concise and vivid summary of the concept of "China Feng Shui". In the world, any theory to explore the mysteries of nature is unfathomable. The word "Feng Shui" comes from the Book of Burial written by Guo Pu in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Guo Pu's definition of Feng Shui in his book is "the inheritor hides and takes advantage of anger". ..... the air is dispersed by the wind, and the boundary water stops. The ancients gathered to make it stick, but did it, so it was called Feng Shui. "Guo Pu put forward the concept of' Qi', and extracted the representation of wind and water very concisely to understand the source and stop of' Qi'. Because he mentioned the word Feng Shui for the first time in the book "Funeral Book", he laid the theoretical framework of Feng Shui and was called the originator of Feng Shui. There are two main types of feng shui works that can be seen now, one is the method of form, and the other is the principle of qi. Shape method mainly refers to chaos head, dragon, point, sand, water and five points; On this basis, the category of regulating qi has added the Yi-ology theories of Jiugong Bagua, Yin-Yang and Five Elements. For example, in the same place, the "Kong Xuan" faction said that the land could be buried, while the "Liqi" faction said that it could not, but it did happen after it was buried; In another place, the "Li Qi" faction said that it was ok, and "Kong Xuan" said that it was not allowed, but it could be sent after burial. Is it metaphysical right or rational right? In fact, they are just some experiences summed up by Feng Shui masters of past dynasties. If there is no real biography, they just infer it from these experiences and sum it up from those experiences. They only know "shape" but don't know "god". They revolve around "shape" and even engage in disputes between Feng Shui factions. Nowadays, many people think that Feng Shui is a superstition. For example, choosing a good grave for the remains of ancestors can affect the fate of future generations. Although there are many such cases in history, many modern people find it incredible and want to know what the principle is. Therefore, I think this is unlikely. In fact, modern physics has found that there is a connection between substances that spans time and space-called quantum entanglement in quantum physics. Many experts have emerged in the field of quantum physics, and their whimsy makes it more and more difficult for people to tell who is a scientist and who is a philosopher. For example, the British scientist Penrose deduced a "multiverse" theory. He claimed that the universe we live in will split constantly, and every time we "observe" it will split once (this is an idealistic word). All split universes exist in parallel, so all possibilities exist at the same time; But we just live in one of the universes and can't feel the other universes. In another universe, Hitler may have built an atomic bomb before the United States; Kennedy may not have been assassinated; Your parents may not have the crystallization of love, and you may not even exist ... Some overseas scholars have conducted some research experiments related to Feng Shui. According to Feng Shui, man is a combination of his father's sperm and his mother's blood, and there is a potential connection between them. It is said that there was an experiment in which several people's sperm were taken out and placed far away from them, and then one of them was slapped from behind, which frightened him and ended up in a far-away laboratory. These seemingly absurd mysterious stories mentioned above are all real scientific and technological achievements, and many people have won the Nobel Prize for the above bizarre theories. After reading this, you may not realize what these theories mean. To put it bluntly, if the phenomenon of quantum entanglement is really thoroughly studied, then today's people may change the past or future history through time and space by influencing some things today ... So from the perspective of quantum theory, the miracle of ancient fairy magicians is not surprising at all. China's orthodox culture takes another scientific route, directly studying the universe, human body, time and space, and developing from the perspective of meditation and development of human potential. This is different from the empirical scientific line coming from the west now. Even so, the correctness of China culture can be verified by the theories and experiments of western empirical science. China's sages had many brilliant expositions on the wonderful nature and mysterious universe. Like the Book of Changes? The copula says, "No matter how far or how close you are, you will know where you come from. If it's not the best in the world, why are you here? "It is said that regardless of time and geographical distance, we can predict the future. Surprisingly, Yi Dao is the best. Surprisingly, he is a saint. " It is easy to think, do nothing, become motionless, and feel the truth. If it's not the god of the world, why is it here? ".It's not easy to think and have a future. Feeling is to connect heart with heart, and heart connects the hearts of all things in the world. What moves in a few minutes is also the most spiritual, which means that everything moves naturally. Therefore, the theory of quantum physics, a modern top scientific research, coincides with that described by China in the Book of Changes thousands of years ago, and the law of quantum motion is exactly the same as that described in the Book of Changes. So what is Feng Shui really used for? Feng Shui is also called Yin and Yang in China, and Mr. Feng Shui is also called Mr. Yin and Yang among the people. So can it be inferred that the source of Feng Shui is very high, and the truth can at least be applied to this universe? In China, Feng Shui is listed as a Taoist way in the world. Taoist practice stresses "Sunday" and "acupoints", and also stresses that the human body is a small universe. Many people will know something about sundays and acupoints in the human body to a certain extent, but it is difficult for ordinary people to know so clearly about different types of sundays, meridians and many acupoints in the human body, because these are always secrets that practitioners are unwilling to reveal easily. China has been studying the mystery between heaven and earth since ancient times, and put forward the theory of "the unity of heaven and man", that is to say, heaven, earth and man correspond to each other. The Tao Te Ching says, "People practice the earth, practice the sky, practice the Tao, and the Tao is natural ..." Then let's think about it. If so, are there sundays and acupoints in the sky? It's just that the acupoints at this time are no longer called acupoints, but called Shen acupoints, which is what Taoism often says, corresponding to 365 human acupoints respectively. Sunday literally means the cycle between heaven and earth. If there is a Sunday in the human body, that day will naturally have a Sunday. Similarly, is the "Earth" a cosmic system, a living body, and has pulses, sundays and acupoints? In fact, to put it bluntly, from a certain point of view, the earth is also a sky and a person. The sky is also a land and a person. People are also the earth and the sky. For example, Chinese medicine believes that the human body has three parts: heaven, earth and man. The lower part of the human body is the earth, the middle part of the human body is human, and the upper part of the human body is the sky. If the above theory is established, can it be said that Feng Shui is an activity to explore the mystery of the system of "land"? Whether it is called geomancy, geography, landforms or geomantic omen, although the names are different, they are all the same. Basically, it is the process of exploring the mystery of heaven and earth with "earth" as the primary reference coordinate. The theory developed from this is called Feng Shui. The specific method used in this process is called geomantic omen. Furthermore, because this process combines the practice of returning to nature, it is also a process of improving life accomplishment; The technical things or abilities related to the system of "land" and Feng Shui activities cultivated in practice are called Feng Shui. For example, two people with the same numerology pattern, one in a fifth-tier city and the other in a first-tier city, are the richest people in the city, but their wealth values are worlds apart. For example, a person born at the same time, the same month and the same second as Ma Yun, but he was born in Afghanistan, the pattern will at least be reduced by several steps. For another example, when a city encounters major natural disasters and major wars, many people can live a long life, but the feng shui has taken them away. This is feng shui, which can never be changed artificially. Small geomantic omen, that is, our residential office, is something we can choose and adjust. Speaking of which, let's talk about it first. Why are many people's understanding of home feng shui distorted today? In fact, the biggest reason is caused by some interest-filled industry groups, such as boasting that you can make a fortune by buying a three-legged golden toad and a small fish tank, and even buying high-priced tools and other marketing. In fact, feng shui masters also need to earn money to support their families, which is understandable. What is the use of home feng shui ornaments? Of course it is useful, but you can't exaggerate its function just to make money. In fact, the role of Feng Shui ornaments is no different from our conventional cognitive logic. For example, if you see a prosperous water and wealth in the southwest, can you put a small fish tank and build a swimming pool in the southwest? Remember this sentence, Feng Shui logic is the same as our conventional cognitive logic. Let's talk about the logic of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. Why do some people say that if you want to make use of Feng Shui to make money, you must first have money, because to be an excellent Feng Shui, you need to cover everything from the outer bureau to the inner bureau. Can you make a swimming pool in the southwest, which is better than the big river from your home? This truth is the same as doing a good job in an enterprise. To do a good job in all major departments of an enterprise, it must be comprehensive. On the contrary, it is often enough to make one enterprise go bankrupt, and only one of them has problems. The same is true of Feng Shui. If you want to be lucky, you need to cover everything. If you are unlucky, one question is enough. This is why we have always said that everyone in the new era should know a little about Feng Shui, an environmental science. What we need is to ward off evil spirits, because today's houses are more prone to problems than ancient quadrangles, and there will be more or less various feng shui problems. We need a reasonable layout of geomantic omen, and at least try to avoid financial ruin and disaster, so as to achieve greater and better development. In addition, we all know that there is a saying: the wind and water turn. The environment is changing, time is changing, and feng shui is naturally changing. Therefore, learning this subject and applying it to all aspects of life can follow the trend, instead of finding a master to adjust it once and for all.
