What is Feng Shui?
There's a folk saying in China: One life has two fortunes, three geomantics, four products, five studies. People in China all know Feng Shui, and the truth of Feng Shui is actually a sentence: Blessed people live in blessed land, blessed land lives in blessed land. In the 5,-year history of China, geomantic omen has been integrated into people's lives and has become an important part. From emperors and generals to ordinary people, from the palace compound to the streets and lanes, almost everyone has dealt with Feng Shui. Whether it is the location layout of the capital, the design and construction of the city, the orientation of the Yin House and the Yang House, the furniture arrangement, etc., it is necessary to find someone to look at the Feng Shui and calculate the fortune, so that heaven and man can be integrated and avoid misfortune. When it comes to Feng Shui, many people certainly have many questions, such as what Feng Shui is, why Feng Shui can work, and the source of Feng Shui, etc. If these basic problems are not clearly explained, it will hinder many people from understanding Feng Shui, especially some people in Chinese mainland, who will simply classify it as superstition and reject it. Then let's step by step, first from the surface source of the term feng shui to understand. Feng Shui is a natural phenomenon. Nature, lang lang gan Kun, has 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 change of the form and quality of all things. Together, it is also called nature. A generation of Feng Shui master Yang Junsong left people with a Feng Shui couplet: 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 generalization of the concept of "China Feng Shui". In the world, any theory that explores the mystery of nature is unfathomable. The word "Feng Shui" comes from the Book of Funeral written by Guo Pu in Wei and Jin Dynasties. In the book, Guo Pu defined Feng Shui as "The undertaker hides and takes advantage of anger". ..... Qi is scattered by the wind, and the boundary water is stopped. The ancients gathered to make it stick, and the line made it stop, so it is called Feng Shui. " Guo Pu put forward the concept of "Qi", and extracted the appearance of wind and water very concisely to understand the origin and stop of "Qi". Because he mentioned the word Feng Shui for the first time in his book "Funeral Book" and laid the theoretical framework of Feng Shui, he was called the originator of Feng Shui. There are two main categories 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 the five tips of Luantou, Dragon, Cave, Sand, Water and Direction; On the basis of this, 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 "Xuankong" faction said that land could be buried, while the "Liqi" faction said no, but it did happen after burial; In another place, the school of "regulating qi" said yes, and "Xuankong" said no, but it can be sent after burial. Is it "metaphysical" right or "rational" right? In fact, they are just some experiences summed up by the geomantic masters of past dynasties. If there is no true biography, they are only inferred from these experiences and summarized by those experiences. They only know the "shape" but not the "god", and they circle around the "shape" and even make a dispute between Feng Shui factions. Nowadays, many people think that Feng Shui is superstition. For example, by choosing a good crypt for the remains of ancestors, it can affect the fortunes of future generations. Although there are many such cases in history, many modern people find it incredible and wonder what the principle is. Therefore, I feel that this is unlikely. In fact, modern physics has found that there is a connection between substances that spans time and space-it is called quantum entanglement in quantum physics. Many experts have emerged in the field of quantum physics, and their strange ideas make it increasingly 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 it will split once every time we "observe" (this is an idealistic word), and all the split universes exist in parallel, so all the 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 the 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 geomantic omen. According to geomantic omen, people are the combination of father's sperm and mother's blood, and there is a potential connection between them. It is said that there is an experiment in which several people's sperm are taken out, placed far away from themselves, and then one of the people involved in the experiment is slapped from behind, which makes him frightened, and the result is in a distant laboratory. These seemingly absurd tales of mystery 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 we really study the phenomenon of quantum entanglement thoroughly, 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 miracles of ancient fairy magicians are not surprising at all. China's orthodox culture takes another scientific route, which directly studies the universe, human body and space-time, and develops from the perspective of meditation practice and developing human potential. This is different from the empirical scientific route coming from the west now. Even so, the correctness of China culture can be verified by the theories and experiments of western empirical science at present. The sages of China have made many incisive expositions on the wonderful nature and the mysterious universe. For example, the Book of Changes? The copula says, "No matter how far or near you are, you will know what you have come from. If it is not the best in the world, how can it be here? "It is said that no matter how far or near the time and region, we can predict the future. It's amazing that Yi Dao is the best, and it's amazing that he's a saint. "Easy without thinking, inaction, also become motionless, feeling and hence the reason of the world. If it is not the god of the world, how can it be here? ". If you are thoughtful and promising, you will be right, and it will not be easy. Feeling is to connect the heart with the heart, which in turn connects the hearts of all things in the world. What is moving in a few minutes is also the most spiritual, which means that everything is moving naturally. Therefore, the modern top scientific research quantum physics theory coincides with what China described 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 we infer that the source of Feng Shui is very high and the truth can at least be applied to this universe? In China, geomantic omen is classified as a Taoist path in the world. Taoist practice talks about "Sunday" and "acupoints", and also talks about the fact that the human body is a small universe. Many people will know something about the Sunday and acupoints of the human body to some extent, but it is difficult for ordinary people to know so clearly about the different types of sundays, meridians and many acupoints that really exist in the human body, because these are always secrets that the practitioners are unwilling to disclose easily. China has been studying the mystery between heaven and earth in 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, "Man practices the earth, the earth practices the heaven, the heaven practices the Tao, and the Tao is natural ..." Then let's think about it. If so, is there a Sunday and acupoints in the sky? Only at this time, the acupoints are no longer called acupoints, but called gods, that is, the Taoist often says that there are three hundred and sixty-five, and they correspond to three hundred and sixty-five human acupoints respectively. The literal meaning of Sunday refers to the cycle between heaven and earth. If there is a Sunday in the human body, there will naturally be a Sunday on that day. Similarly, is the "earth" a cosmic system, is it a living body, and does it also have veins, sundays and acupoints? In fact, to put it bluntly, from a certain angle, 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, in Chinese medicine, it is believed 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 the man, and the upper part of the human body is the sky. If the above theory holds, can we say that geomantic omen is an activity to explore the mystery of the system of "land"? Whether it's called Kanyu, Geography, Geomorphology or Feng Shui, although it's called by different names, it's always the same. Basically, it's the process of exploring the mystery of heaven and earth with "land" 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 is combined with the practice of returning to the original life, this process is also a process of improving life cultivation; 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 pattern in numerology, one in a fifth-tier city and the other in a first-tier city, are both the richest people in the city, but their wealth values are worlds apart. For example, a person born at the same time, in the same month and in the same second as Ma Yun, but he was born in Afghanistan, the pattern will be reduced by at least a few steps. For another example, when a city encounters a major natural disaster and a major war, many people can live a long life, but the great geomantic omen has taken them away. This is great geomantic omen, which can never be changed artificially. The small geomantic omen, that is, our residential office, is something we can choose and adjust. Speaking of this, 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 buying a three-legged golden toad and a small fish tank can make a fortune, and even buying high-priced tools and other marketing. In fact, it is understandable that feng shui masters also need to earn money to support their families. Is there any use in home feng shui ornaments? It's certainly useful, but you can't exaggerate its role 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 water flourishing 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 getting lucky and avoiding misfortune. Why do some people say that if you want to make use of geomantic omen to get lucky, first of all, you have to be rich, because to make an excellent geomantic omen, 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 that comes 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 must be comprehensive. On the contrary, it is often enough to let an enterprise collapse, only one of them has problems. The same is true of Feng Shui. You need to cover everything if you want to get lucky, but if you are unlucky, one question is enough. This is why we have always said that all people in the new era must know a little about Feng Shui, an environmental science. What we need is to avoid evil, because today's houses are more prone to problems than ancient quadrangles, and there will be various Feng Shui problems more or less. We need a reasonable layout of geomantic omen, at least try to avoid financial ruin and disasters, in order 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 go with the trend, rather than finding a master to adjust it once and for all.
