How to use ancient geomantic omen to build modern houses

In ancient geomantic omen, the earth was often compared to the human body, so there is land as people say. There is a map of Feng Shui acupoints based on the "turn" of human body in The Study of Mr. Shen Xin in Liu Pu in Qing Dynasty, which can best embody this concept of the unity of man and land.

The idea of "the integration of heaven and earth" and "the integration of all things" is the soul of the whole geomantic omen. This is mainly because our country discovered the running laws of the sun, moon and planets very early, and thought that their running was related to the change of the earth's day and night seasons and good or bad luck. For example, "The Garden" said: "The human body is like a small world, with five elements of yin and yang, which can be used at all times." In other words, heaven and earth are a big universe, human body is a small universe, and human body and universe are isomorphic. Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, and the human body is also divided into yin and yang; There are five stars and five mountains in heaven and earth, and the human body also has five senses and five internal organs; Talent for ten days, people also have ten fingers; The earth is divided into twelve branches, and people also have twelve meridians, twelve meridians and twelve skins. It is precisely because of the integration of heaven and earth that vitality reverberates in the universe and qi accumulates in the human body. Any activity of human beings should live in harmony with nature and with nature. Housing construction is a part of human activities. Of course, we should also follow the natural order and achieve harmony with all things in the world and nature, so as to achieve peace and happiness and avoid misfortune.

Feng Shui emphasizes the choice of living environment. The ideal environment is mainly composed of mountains and water, and water is more important, because water is the source of life. "Shui Long Jing" said: "Although the hole is in the mountain, the disaster is in the water." He also said: "Stone is the bone of the mountain, soil is the meat of the mountain, water is the blood of the mountain, and vegetation is the fur of the mountain. They are all connected by blood." The Huangdi House Classic also said: "The house takes the situation as the body, the spring as the blood, the ground as the meat, the vegetation as the hair, the house as the clothes, and the portal as the crown belt. If so, it's elegance, and it's for the sake of the last episode.

The geomantic omen of ancient buildings must first find a suitable gas field, that is, the external environment that is most conducive to human growth and development. This environment should be beautiful, because where there are mountains, there are "bones", and where there is water, it can be "alive", and mountains and rivers complement each other. Therefore, all feng shui treasures are masterpieces with mountains and rivers, which naturally help people cultivate their self-cultivation and reproduce.

So how do modern houses make use of ancient geomantic knowledge? Applying modern science to interpret ancient geomantic omen, give it a reasonable explanation and make reasonable changes at the same time. In ancient times, it was difficult to achieve the goal of "dragon on the left, white tiger on the right, suzaku in front and Xuanwu in the back", but we can give these new meanings. For example, Yang Zhai Hui Xin Ji also said: "A street is a layer of water", a house on the wall is a layer of sand, the street in front of the door is a hall, and the opposite house is a mountain. "It's about how to be flexible.
