geomantic omen: wisdom and art of living

Huang Yizhen

In a country that attaches great importance to survival wisdom, China people learn from the facts by observing the changes of rivers and mountains in nature, and carefully choose an environment suitable for human survival and development, thus forming a discipline specializing in the relationship between living environment and construction layout, that is, geomantic omen.

geomantic omen was originally used as the imperial art of emperors, and it was applied to guide the construction activities of cities, official halls and tombs. Geomantic omen has flourished since the Tang and Song Dynasties, and according to the principles of Zhouyi, Sinan, the predecessor of the compass, one of the four great inventions, became popular, forming two schools, namely, Fujian School with principle and law as the mainstay and Jiangxi School with shape and law as the mainstay, which were gradually introduced to the people, and the theoretical system of geomantic omen was gradually improved, which played a prominent role in the process of social civilization. Traditional buildings of various shapes in China have left profound traces of geomantic omen, and related works are collected and treasured as famous classics such as Yongle Dadian and Sikuquanshu.

all cultures are inherited, but at the same time they are also restricted by history, so it must have some shortcomings. So is the study of Feng Shui. Although Feng Shui originated from simple materialism, in feudal times, any theory could not be separated from the shackles and limitations of China's traditional theory. Geomantic omen is no exception: for its survival and popularity, it has to be mixed with a lot of superstitions and the contents of the side notes, thus weakening the real essence of its materialism. It is the task of modern geomantic omen to learn from the past, constantly improve innovation, carry forward the quintessence of the Chinese nation and benefit the society. However, due to the influence of feudal thought, Feng Shui added many hard methods of sword spells in its application procedures, thus diluting its true significance of flexibility. In fact, clever geomantic omen can be romantic without trace, and it is even more possible to get its meaning and forget its shape when using Yi Li. Through the relocation of orientation, the arrangement of plants, the choice of colors and the layout of furniture, it can achieve the effect of adapting to local conditions, adapting to the shape and avoiding weaknesses, thus forming its unique wisdom and art of living.

all kinds of successful contemporary buildings contain the spirit of geomantic omen, and how to make good use of the principles of geomantic omen, we should also adhere to the principle of sublation, and make a proper judgment in blazing with anger, so there are certain rules to follow. We will find that modern geomantic omen is not mysterious. With the help of sophisticated instruments and scientific methods, it regulates the internal resources of the project, integrates the external shape, potential, sound, light and electricity, and improves various living environments of human beings. Because of my work, when I studied all kinds of buildings for a long time, I really and deeply found that although there are thousands of lights and houses in the city, some families are rich in wealth and wealth; While others are poor and destitute. In the final analysis, in addition to personal wisdom and hard work, all of them are closely related to the good and bad luck of the house. It is reasonable that the house is prosperous and good deeds are accumulated, so that poverty can be turned into wealth and meanness can be distinguished. However, if the house transportation is dangerous, the rich can lead to poverty, expensive and disaster, not surprisingly. This is not only true for houses, but also for companies and factories. Therefore, geomantic omen plays a great role in how to avoid bad luck and house transportation. As a comprehensive discipline, modern geomantic omen is closely related to other disciplines. How to keep pace with the times, constantly improve this discipline and make greater contributions to all kinds of construction planning activities in modern society is a rigorous topic.
