What does ancient geomantic omen inspire modern urban planning and architecture?

Feng shui includes humanistic feng shui and natural feng shui.

Natural geomantic omen mainly studies the knowledge of harmonious coexistence between architecture and nature. Now we also often use the concept of natural feng shui, such as sitting south facing north, facing the sea with the back of the mountain, and the tower is tall and deep. At present, rural areas still pay more attention to natural geomantic omen, but in cities, because the influence of natural geographical environment on human activities is not obvious, it is not comprehensive to consider natural geomantic omen in urban architectural planning, which also lays a lot of hidden dangers. Road surface collapse, debris flow, sandstorm and even building collapse are all the results of ignoring natural geomantic omen.

Humanism and geomantic omen came into being, mainly studying the relationship between architecture and its social environment. Urban planning pays special attention to this aspect, for example, commercial areas should be built in places with developed transportation, and residential areas should be far away from industrial areas. Paying attention to humanistic feng shui can see obvious effects in a short time and bring direct benefits.

Modern urban planning, although he has his own set of theories, is largely consistent with Feng Shui.

In addition, some people now divide geomantic omen into traditional metaphysical geomantic omen and modern geomantic omen according to the theoretical basis. In my opinion, although their theoretical bases are different, they all lead to the same goal, and the measures and methods derived from their theories are the same.
