How should we understand the relationship between Chinese design and Feng Shui?
The so-called spirit of Feng Shui, like other traditional Chinese knowledge, always centers on change. Feng shui will change countless times with different people, time and places, but this change is not mysterious, but has rules to follow. In modern terms, this law is magnetic field science and mathematics, the application of magnetic field vibration theory and the calculation of mathematical formulas (formulas). It is a pity that the ancients did not use Western academic attitudes and academic methods to organize and develop this knowledge. Instead, they allowed it to become a secret food and clothing tool for thousands of years. Survive with superstition.
The modern Feng Shui theory is actually an integration of geophysics, hydrogeology, astronomy, meteorology, environmental landscape, architecture, ecology and human life informatics. a natural science. Its purpose is to carefully and carefully examine and understand the natural environment, utilize and transform nature, and create a good living environment.
Feng Shui is the quintessence of China. It has been influencing people's living environment and building methods for thousands of years. Without Feng Shui, Chinese civilization would obviously lose its luster. The unique view of natural ecology unique to Feng Shui not only coincides with the theories of modern ecological science and environmental science, but also made important theoretical contributions to the formation and development of the latter.
With the deterioration of the human ecological environment, people are called to conform to nature and the feng shui of the world has become a modern university knowledge. Not only various universities have opened relevant courses for students majoring in architecture and design. Courses, and even many MBA and EMBA courses also arrange Feng Shui lectures. What’s more interesting is that Feng Shui, like Chinese Kung Fu, Chinese medicine, and Chinese cuisine, has become an important symbol of Chinese culture exported to the outside world. In the West, Feng Shui has long been not only a mysterious knowledge from the East, but also an integral part of environmental science.
