Why are people in Hong Kong, Macao and Guangdong so superstitious about Feng Shui?
In fact, in ancient China, seeing and believing in Feng Shui was very popular almost everywhere, especially in Jiangxi, Fujian and Anhui. At present, most cases of geomantic omen still need to be found in these places, but there are not many excellent cases of geomantic omen in ancient South China. However, since Guangdong and Hong Kong are far away from the Central Plains, there have been fewer wars since ancient times, and traditional customs have been relatively well preserved. As long as you try Cantonese, you will know that its accent is before the Tang Dynasty and it can be called a living cultural relic. Especially in the crazy era of the Cultural Revolution, the impact of Guangdong was not too great compared with that of the north, and the traditional culture or customs were largely unwashed. So it is also a lucky thing. In this way, it is not surprising that the custom of geomantic omen is still prevalent in Guangdong. Not to mention Hong Kong, which has not been strongly impacted by modern and contemporary chaos, but many cultural celebrities have gone to Hong Kong to save their lives. Therefore, the popularity of Feng Shui in Hong Kong makes sense. In fact, the most profound geomantic culture is probably Taiwan Province Province, and most of the ancient geomantic books that are popular again in Chinese mainland are imported from Taiwan Province Province. After the Cultural Revolution, Chinese mainland's geomantic classics almost disappeared.
