Why can't feng shui be behind the house?
Generally speaking, it is also easy to understand. It is unlucky to have a grave in front of the house, and water behind the house may infect the foundation of the house. These are the big taboos of building a house, and everyone who builds a house knows it. But the problem is that many of these folk sayings are not in line with social reality. If you are serious, this is an ancient building. The ancients said. Then, in modern society, what's the use of always mentioning ancient society to scare people?
(1) Water in front of the house and behind the grave is very common in modern society, and nothing bad has happened.
The real society is basically an era of reinforced concrete, even if houses are built in rural areas. Let's talk about urbanization first. In the case of large-scale demolition, relocation, and hot property market, the community where you live, where the demolished people go, and who knows if it is built on a graveyard! The residents of Beijing's famous Caishikou Street are even more unlucky. The beheading place was at Caishikou, and the eunuchs' graves were all over the western hills. I have never heard of it. Some people will sell their houses at a low price because it is unlucky here. If there is, I will definitely buy it. I'm not afraid.
So is the water behind the house. The author was born in rural areas. When I was a child, there were several puddles in the village, all of which were 0.5 to 1 hectare (5,000 to 1 10,000 square meters). Parents wash clothes there and often carry water to water the vegetable fields. At the same time, every few years, people dive into the pit because of family conflicts.
Therefore, in modern society, stylization and social reality, the effect of folk proverbs and even geomantic superstition is unrealistic. At first, feng shui was to choose a house for the living and a haunted house for the dead. These are technical jobs, not metaphysics. In fact, this is related to the nature and process of Feng Shui.
(2) The truth of Feng Shui only comes from experience, even the skill of five elements. It is superstitious to use it to decide life.
Many people say this is Feng Shui, not feudal superstition. Feng shui is a general term for feng shui and geography. It is a part of the ancient traditional culture of China, which makes sense.
There are ancient tombs in Jingtai subway station in Beijing. Will the house price go down?
Geomantic omen was formed in the Warring States Period, which is the core stereotype of China traditional culture. People of all colors began to package and beautify various viewpoints. Since the primitive society, there have been witches who fear heaven and earth, ghosts and demons. Witches are often "knowledgeable generalists" and have certain experience in medicine and agriculture, thus becoming a "knowledge leader".
Before the formation of Feng Shui, human beings existed for tens of thousands of years. People have many impressions of everything in nature and life. For example, through the observation of clan and clan insiders, what kind of people may live short and long; What kind of behavior will have disaster, etc. Accumulate to a certain extent.
After a long period of accumulation, it has been passed down from generation to generation, forming the fate and numerology that fortune tellers often say. Including the knowledge of fortune telling and geomantic omen, but it is the summary of life, society or destiny by people who are good at summing up in ancient times and have certain knowledge and experience. With the emergence of classes and strata, different people use different "knowledge" to control power or make money.
(3) Many people, many things and many actions do not need Feng Shui or Neo-Confucianism at all. Many are experiences and many are chances. It's okay to listen to them, but it's not good to believe them. However, people's opinions about interpersonal relationships can be properly listened to, but facial expressions are feudal superstitions, so it is better to say less.
For example, 12 attribute or the fate of foreign constellations and so on. , all belong to the statistical category. People have many hobbies, some like history and some like exploring the future. The same is true in ancient times. People like to look up at the stars and the sea and lament their smallness; Plus ghosts and gods, fear of nature, etc. People like to think about things they don't understand. This is why some people do some boring things through past observation and their own observation.
For example, is the phrase "the son of a prodigal family will never return" low in ancient times? Including the primitive society that preferred sons to daughters (because of the class differentiation in the paternal line), the probability of "family destruction" in ancient society was still relatively high.
For example, being captured by the enemy and being hurt by animals. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, wolves, insects, butchers and leopards were quite common in Beijing. Even 80 years ago, there were large-scale wolves, because my grandparents all met them, and they were all from the southeast suburb of Beijing. This is a * * * memory. Where can you see wild wolves now, let alone tigers.
Another example is being framed by others, being beaten and arrested for not paying taxes, being robbed by robbers, being harassed by unknown diseases and so on. In particular, diseases, the lack of medical knowledge in ancient China, and all kinds of common diseases we have now, all of which were not found in ancient society. The older these problems get, the more serious they become.
What is the function of folk proverbs? It's a memory, passed down from generation to generation. Over time, it has formed the concept that * * * people follow together.
However, most folk sayings have no scientific basis. If you just listen, you can only say that you are more active and pump more water. What's more, you are caught in the quagmire of feudal superstition, which is not in harmony with the quality of modern society and the rule of law. So we should treat folk proverbs rationally and use our brains more.
