Looking for Lan Xiang in Jinan, Shandong, hehe.
In geomantic omen, "wind" is vitality and field energy, and "water" is flow and change. "Feng Shui" is originally the art of observing geography, that is, the method of on-the-spot investigation of geography. It was also called geography in ancient times, or geomantic omen theory. It is a philosophy that studies the laws of the environment and the universe. It is considered that since man is a part of nature and nature is also a part of man, it is normal to achieve the state of "harmony between man and nature". According to legend, the founder of Feng Shui was Jiutian Xuan Nv, and the relatively perfect Feng Shui consultation originated in the Warring States Period. The core idea of Feng Shui is the harmony between man and nature. Early geomantic omen is mainly related to the site selection, orientation, construction methods and principles of palaces, houses, villages and cemeteries. Its original intention is to choose a suitable place. This is a mysterious art with a long history in China. Also known as Kate and Qingnang, the more academic point of view is called Kanyu, descendant of Shi Tian and Feng Shui master Zhang Jinhua Yun: I Ching Feng Shui, the space in Feng Shui, and the time in the eight characters.
1. Principle of the whole system
Geomantic omen theory regards the environment as a whole system, taking people as the center, including everything in the world. Every whole system in the environment is an interrelated, interdependent, antagonistic and transforming factor. The function of geomantic omen is to grasp the relationship between subsystems, optimize the structure and seek the best combination.
2. The principle of adjusting measures to local conditions
According to local conditions, that is, according to the objectivity of the environment, adopt a lifestyle suitable for nature. China is a pragmatic country, and adapting measures to local conditions is the embodiment of pragmatic thinking. According to the actual situation, take practical and effective methods to make people and buildings conform to nature, return to nature, return to simplicity, and integrate heaven and man. This is the true meaning of Feng Shui.
3. The principle of relying on mountains and rivers
Relying on mountains and rivers is one of the most basic principles of geomantic omen. Mountains are the skeleton of the earth, and water is the source of all life. Without water, people can't live. Almost all the primitive tribes discovered by archaeology were on the platform by the river, which was suitable for hunting, fishing and fruit picking at that time.
4. The principle of observing the situation
The Ten Books of Yangzhai in Qing Dynasty pointed out: "People are mainly suitable for living in mountains and rivers, with the greatest momentum and the most important relationship with people's fortunes." Geomantic omen attaches importance to mountainous terrain and puts small environment into big environment.
As long as we observe the small environment from the big environment, we can know the external constraints and influences on the small environment, such as water source, climate, products, geology and so on. The good or bad of any homestead is determined by the general environment, just like the pulse-taking of traditional Chinese medicine. The general condition of the body can be known from the pulse, because it is determined by the functional state of the cardiovascular system. Only when the situation is perfect can the homestead be perfect. Every time a city is built. Every time you build a building or a factory, you must first look at the mountains and rivers. Focus on the overall situation, start small, there will be no worries, and then happiness will be great.
5. Principles of geological inspection
Feng Shui thought pays great attention to geology, even critical, and thinks that geology determines people's physique, which is also proved to be scientific by modern science. Some feng shui masters grind with their hands when they meet the ground, observe on the spot, chew the soil with their mouths, even dig wells to see the deep soil and water quality, and bend over to listen to the flow and sound of groundwater. These seemingly posturing are not unreasonable.
6. Principles of water quality analysis
Water in different areas contains different trace elements and compounds, some of which can cause diseases and some can cure diseases. Feng shui theory advocates investigating the ins and outs of water, identifying water quality, mastering water flow and optimizing water environment.
7. The principle of sitting north facing south
China is located in the northern hemisphere, in the east of Eurasia. Most of the land is located in the north of the Tropic of Cancer (23 degrees 26 north latitude), and the perennial sunshine comes from the south. A house facing south is easy to get light. Sunlight has many benefits for people: first, it can keep warm, and the temperature in the south house is higher than that in the north house in winter 1-2 degrees; The second is to participate in the synthesis of vitamin D in human body, and children often bask in the sun to prevent rickets; Third, ultraviolet rays in the sun have bactericidal effect; Fourth, it can enhance human immune function.
Sitting facing south is not only for lighting, but also to avoid the north wind. The topography of China determines that its climate is monsoon. There is a Siberian cold current in winter, a Pacific cool wind in summer, and the monsoon direction changes all year round. There are records of wind measurement in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. "Historical Records" says: "Evil winds live in the northwest, and October is also. According to the north, it is also 1 1 month. The wind lives in the northeast, and the first month is also. Fengzhu East is also in February. "
8. Moderate center principle
Moderation means just right, impartial, neither too big nor too small, neither too high nor too low, as optimized as possible and close to perfection.
Another layer of the doctrine of the mean is the center, and the principle of the doctrine of the mean also requires highlighting the center, neat layout, and additional facilities closely surrounding the axis. In a typical geomantic landscape, there is a central axis, which is parallel to the meridian of the earth and extends north and south. The northern end of the central axis is preferably a horizontal mountain range, forming a T-shaped combination, and the southern end is preferably a spacious hall (plain), with buildings and curved rivers on both sides of the central axis. Tombs in Ming and Qing dynasties and gardens in Qing dynasty were built according to this principle.
9. Use the principle of anger
Qi is the source of all things, Tai Chi is qi, two instruments are produced by one product, three are born and five elements are used. Soil comes from gas, water comes from gas, people come from gas, and gas feels it. Everything has nothing to do with qi. Therefore, Feng Shui says that if you are poor, you will be angry, and if you are not angry, you will die.
Feng shui theory refers to advocating the construction of urban houses in busy places, which is called riding horses with anger. Only when vitality is rolling, plants will flourish and human beings will live a long and healthy life.
10. Change the principle of Feng Shui
The purpose of understanding the world is to transform the world and serve itself. There is a proverb in the Book of Changes: It is a blessing to learn from the past. Civilization, tycoon justified, regret dead. Heaven and earth change at four times, and the Tang-Wu revolution is based on heaven and people. At the time of revolution, righteousness is great. "Leather is transforming. Only by transforming the environment can people create optimized living conditions.
