The main theory of "Feng Shui of Folk Beliefs" is based on the traditional Yin and Yang theory, the Book of Changes, He Tu, and Luo Shu. They borrowed the Zhouyi, China's earliest classic work full of philosophical ideas, and added Tao (which advocated the integration of form and spirit).
First, using the spirit to guard the form and using the form to nourish the spirit), interpretation (advocating the thoughts of karma and reincarnation), witchcraft (advocating the influence of gods on people's destiny), astrology (advocating the influence of stars on people), promoted the development of Feng Shui.
Heaven and earth produce all things, that is, human beings and all living things are the product of the interaction between heaven and earth. "Tai Chi produces two instruments, two instruments produce four images, four images produce eight trigrams, and eight trigrams overlap to form sixty-four hexagrams." Tai Chi is the original state, two instruments.
The instrument is the heaven and the earth, and the four images are the atmosphere of the four seasons.
Xiang; called the sun (long daylight - summer), Taiyin (short daylight - winter), Shaoyang (from the time after the summer solstice to the autumnal equinox), Shaoyin (from the time after the winter solstice to the vernal equinox), the Eight Diagrams are the eight directions, derived from the simple Yi
According to philosophy, everything in the universe
, the information comes from the same source, the program is the same, and the rhythm is corresponding. That is, the unified field of the universe. This is the unity of heaven, earth and man. Simply put, Feng Shui theory is mainly based on the metaphysical theory of the growth and decline of yin and yang, in conjunction with the sky (universe, sun, etc.) and the earth (earth,
geographical environment)
As for people (where people live and where they are buried) and time (the rise and fall of heaven and earth, the birth, old age, sickness and death of all things), it is a pity that the alchemists later added various so-called countermeasures to the five elements, stems and branches, forming a form of praying for attainment.
A folk belief in good luck.
Feng shui is mainly divided into Yangzhai Fengshui and Yinzhai Fengshui.
Yangzhai Fengshui is a Fengshui choice that targets strangers’ residences or office buildings. In addition to the house, the selection elements that need to be paid attention to include the streets and drainage outside the house, door positions, circulation lines inside the house, placement of gods, and kitchen stoves.
Location, office seats, etc.
.Generally refers to the inspection of units in buildings with more than three floors, which is called Yangzhai Fengshui. Of course, there are a few exceptions due to rare geographical factors, which involve the profound Fengshui principles of Yinzhai. Yangzhai Fengshui is only related to one thing.
The rise and fall of households.
Yin Mansion Feng Shui is a Feng Shui selection aimed at the burial place of deceased relatives. The key points of selection include the direction of mountains (coming dragons), water flow, acupuncture points, the depth of burial coffins, etc., and the date needs to be strictly selected to match the horoscopes of ancestors and descendants, as well as
The factors of the stars in the sky, the mountains on the earth, and everything with acupuncture points. The secrets among them cannot be known by ordinary people, and they are absolutely unknown.
From ancient times, most of them were orally passed down by earth masters to their disciples. Even if the relationship between father and son has not been formally worshiped, it cannot be passed down lightly. This is because the real feng shui of the Yin Mansion has the power to affect the rise and fall of a clan and its descendants.
.Only those who know how to survey the feng shui of a ghost house will be regarded as a true feng shui master, surveyor or "earth master".
The main purpose of using Feng Shui principles to layout Yin and Yang houses is to achieve the blessing of a stable life, a stable or prosperous economy, and a healthy and long life.
"Qingyan Conglu" written by Wang Bao of the Ming Dynasty: "The method of choosing a place for burial was originated from Guo Pu of Jin Dynasty... Later generations of people who used this technique were divided into two sects... It is called the method of Jiangxi, which was originated from Yang Yang
Junsong, Zeng Wenyi and Lai Dayou, Xie Ziyi, are especially good at their studies.
In order to describe the main situation, it is where it starts and where it ends, and it is used to determine the direction, specifically referring to the matching of the sand and water in the dragon's cave, and does not care about other rigidities. Today, there are people south of the river who respect it." Ding Ruipu, a Qing Dynasty man, "Feng Shui Dispels Confusion"
": "The art of Feng Shui will probably not change the situation.
, the two families of directions. Those who talk about the situation are now called Luan Ti, and those who talk about the directions are now called Li Qi. The poets of the Tang and Song Dynasties each have their own sects to teach and accept." [1] Although the theoretical core of Chinese Feng Shui is "the unity of heaven, earth and man"
, "the five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other", "yin and yang
"Balance", but Chinese Feng Shui has also formed many sects over the long years. In later generations, it was divided into two major schools of theory, which are not inconsistent with each other. Famous Feng Shui experts in history were all proficient in the two schools of theory of situation and rationality, and integrated them.
use.
Originating from Jiangxi, it is also known as Luantou School, Luanshan School, Xingfa School or Jiangxi School. It can be subdivided into Dayuantou and Xiaoluantou. Dayuantou focuses on the selection of mountain and river conditions and the external natural environment of the building, and its main operations are
The methods are "the soil-taste-water method" and the "mountain-surrounded-water-encircled method". The theory is "negative yin and embraced yang", "enclosed by mountains and water there must be Qi", "encircled by mountains and surrounded by water".
Look for dragons (main mountain ranges - the geographical situation of the general environment), check sand (soil data - agriculture), point holes (find main areas), observe water (source of water and no accumulation of water), orientation (sun shadow, air flow direction - suitable for habitation)
" and other five subjects of classical geography. Xiaoluantou advocates that when building or choosing a house, you should "back up the mountain, face the sun, face the water, and have a good mountain";
The Li-Qi School advocates that "people stand because of their houses, and houses exist because of people. People and houses support each other and sense the heaven and earth." The main theory comes from Bagua and astrology, and discusses "Yin and Yang, five elements, stems and branches, Bagua, Jiugong, Yi Gua, etc."
"Mutual growth and mutual restraint". Pay attention to the orientation and layout, and focus on
The main method of operation is to choose the best positioning of the house and the movement lines in the house according to Yuan Yun. The method of shape, principle, day, and talisman are the basic methods to determine the location of the city, build a house, and decorate. The main magic number is the Nine Palaces and Bagua method.
”, “Twelve Earthly Branches Method” and “Yi Gua Method”.
The flying star method uses the three yuan and nine fortunes to connect heaven, earth, people, time and space, and uses time and space to form a yin and yang house to determine good and bad luck. The house is destined to be built or moved into the year;
The Six Dharma School uses the eight fortunes of duality to determine good and bad luck according to fortunes and make arrangements to benefit all living beings.
The Yi Gua School uses the sixty-four hexagrams of the Xiantian River Diagram to operate in conjunction with Yuan Yun, using the combination of Qi and Yun Yun to create prosperity and prosperity.
Five Geography Tips
1. Dragon; the direction of mountain ranges and the general environment and geographical situation.
.Acupoint; a place where auspicious energy is concentrated.
.Sand; the distinction between quantity and quality of soil.
4. Water; rivers, water sources, lakes and seas, and roads that drive airflow.
5. Influence of magnetic field energy such as sunlight, airflow, and shadow.
Excerpted from the article "A Brief Introduction to the Mountains": The Mountains can basically be divided into five parts: namely [Dragon, Cave, Sand, Water and Direction]. [Dragon]: It is the ups and downs of the Lailong Mountains sitting behind, [
[Acupoint]: It is the energy concentration area found through the Tianxin Cross Four Corresponding Acupoint method. [Sand]: It is the left and right mountain
The situation of sand protecting the veins and gathering Qi, [Water]: it is the form of the boundary water protecting the dragon and stopping the Qi, and [Xiang]: it is the situation of prosperity or decline based on the shape of Mingtang hiding wind and gathering Qi. These five parts

People who support Feng Shui believe that Feng Shui is a science, and Feng Shui is about exploring the vitality that has not yet been scientifically proven, and then using this anger to benefit people. They believe that Feng Shui is an applied part of the philosophy of Chinese culture and is one of the traditional Chinese cultures.
The influence of the world has received renewed attention, especially in places where Chinese people live together. American urban planner Kevin Lynch has this explanation in "Urban Imagery": "Feng Shui is a science with a bright future."
Zhu Xi, a Neo-Confucian scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty, believed in Feng Shui and often asked his disciple Cai Xishan for advice. Zhu Xi also put forward his own opinion: "divine the tomb of one's house and the beauty and evil of the land. The beauty of the land means that the gods will be at peace and their descendants will be prosperous." Zhao Yushi's "

"Guilu" records Zhu Xi's discussion of Feng Shui with his guests: "Jizhou has a good Feng Shui: the mountains in Yunzhong are called Lailong; Daiyue is called Qinglong; Huashan is called White Tiger; Songshan is called Anwen; and the mountains in Huainan are called mountains outside the case.

From the construction process of residential houses, villages and towns, cities, palaces, mausoleums, etc., it will be built based on the principle of Feng Shui to multiply and absorb vitality, and to use contemporary architectural art and cultural customs awareness to express it. It can be said that
It has far-reaching influence and is unique in the history of world architecture.
There are many facts [which/which?] from ancient and modern times that prove that Feng Shui cases can be verified. Nowadays, most people only use the Feng Shui concept in a limited way towards environmental optimization and home beautification.

Professional Feng Shui masters generally have knowledge of interior design, architectural structures, environmental science, astronomy, etc., because Feng Shui masters who do not understand relevant knowledge will be questioned about their inheritance and level.
