The best feng shui in the temple
Let me give you an example that is hard to justify in Feng Shui theory. In North China, there is a famous hanging temple, which is located between the cliffs of Cuiping Peak on the west side of Jinlong Gorge, Hengshan Mountain, Hunyuan City, Shanxi Province. This majestic and steep building complex was built in 49 1 year, which is a unique temple landscape integrating Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Its architecture is very distinctive and is famous for its precipitousness. Hanging temple, half a day high, three ponytails hanging in the air? Slang is famous for its rudeness. Under the pen of Mr. Jin Yong, a martial arts master, is the Hanging Temple still there? Wuyue Sword School? One of the ancestral temples in Hengshan is also famous in the Jianghu. In Jin Yong's novel the legendary swordsman, the description of the Hanging Temple is like this:? Disciples Yihe and Yiqing, etc. Entertained the guests separately, proved it to Fang, and said: After this peak, there is a mountain near Ciyaokou, called Cuiping Mountain, with a mirror-like cliff. There is a hanging temple on the mountain, which is the scenic spot of Hengshan Mountain. Road flyover Xu Chong is very happy: It has long been heard that the Hanging Temple in Cuiping Mountain was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Jade pine can't be born, and apes can't climb. This is a miracle of the world. ? Gu Lingchong led Master Zheng Fang and Chong Xuchang to see the sexual peak, went to Ciyaokou and came to the foot of Cuiping Mountain. Zheng Fang and Xu Chong looked up, but they saw two huge pavilions, standing on the top of the mountain, like a fairy tale castle, now in the clouds. ?
Such a prestigious building complex is nothing in the eyes of Feng Shui master. Fudi? Because according to the theory of Feng Shui, the Hanging Temple is completely on the cliff, and its living environment belongs to an absolutely dangerous place. But what does Feng Shui theory predict? Big killer? Not the same, the hanging temple has been full of incense and tourists for thousands of years.

It can be seen that the theory of geomantic omen cannot explain the atmospheric movement of the Hanging Temple. Similar examples can be said to be everywhere Since Feng Shui theory can't guide practice accurately at all, why should it be said to be scientific?
Objectively speaking, Feng Shui theory is not worthless, but its value is really low. What parts of it are valuable, but only part of it? Correct the nonsense? That's all. For example, people with normal intelligence know that building a house should be far away from dark, wet and flood-prone rivers, and it is suitable to be built in a place with high and dry terrain, which is safer and will make residents healthy. These simple truths can be mastered by the builders themselves in practice, even if they don't know any knowledge of Feng Shui theory at all. As for the mysticism in Feng Shui theory, it is completely idealism, not only without any empirical evidence, but also completely pseudoscience.
It is easy for us to ask: If Feng Shui is really as effective as it is said, why not just emigrate all the people in poor counties? Good feng shui? Where is it? In this case, we don't have to work hard at all, we just need to study Feng Shui to be as rich as an enemy. However, through the ages, we have not seen that the great prosperity and territorial expansion of any dynasty depended on the guidance of Feng Shui masters.
So, what is the ideological core of Feng Shui theory? Hard wound? And then what? In the final analysis, apart from a few simple experiences, the main body of Feng Shui is metaphysics, because the core of Feng Shui advocacy is? Harmony between man and nature? . In fact, this is just the intuition of ancient ancestors to know things, and there is nothing. Tall? The special ingredients of. However, you can't judge the truth by intuition. To sum up, there are three kinds of intuitive thinking of Feng Shui:
First, natural intuition. For example, when you see that monkeys are flexible, you think that people who belong to monkeys are also flexible. Seeing that acupuncture can relieve pain, do you think there are many on earth? Acupoints? Finding acupoints on the earth to bury the dead can cure diseases.
Second, pictographic intuition. Feng shui master saw that the house rose higher and sharper, and thought that the house had committed the so-called crime? Sharp knife? . However, since ancient times, many foreign houses have been in this style, with many tall and pointed domes. The builders didn't make use of China's geomantic principles at all, but hundreds and thousands of years have passed, and the people living in them have lived their lives safely. In addition, feng shui master thinks there are two ponds in front of the door. Cry? This is a fierce place, but many rural areas, especially water towns in the south, are almost like this, and no one has seen where the fierce went. It should be pointed out that this so-called? Cry? Chinese characters are used to extend fantasy. If it is a foreign language, there is no such ridiculous problem at all.
Such spires are very common in foreign countries.
Third, homophonic intuition. For example, think? 4? And then what? Die? Homophony is unlucky. All feng shui masters will think so? Xue Ji? Never build it in a place with an unlucky name, or it will bring bad luck to the residents. However, the place names of a place are not static, but often change. Moreover, if the geographical names are auspicious, do residents have to live in a pure land paradise? Chang 'an, isn't this place name blessed? For a long time, security, stability and happiness are really long-term stability. However, Chang 'an has experienced countless wars and disasters in history. Every time the city is broken, the residents will be slaughtered, leaving only a lot of bones. For example, on December 13th, the first year of Guangming (880), Huang Chao led his troops to attack Chang 'an, and then wantonly looted and slaughtered residents, leaving corpses everywhere and the city empty. How can such a lucky place name not change the bad luck of this place?
Not to mention place names, even the crust and surface environment are constantly changing. For example, there is a rushing river in front of our house today, which may disappear after hundreds or even more than ten years. Isn't the Yellow River often diverted? What did you find today? Xue Ji? It is likely that with the great changes in the surface environment in the future, it will become? Fierce? Yes
There is another example to refute Feng Shui. Sui Wendi, Sui Wendi, didn't believe in the so-called geomantic omen when he was alive. He said:? My grave field, if the clouds are unlucky, I should not be expensive as the son of heaven; Ruo Yunji, my brother doesn't deserve to die. ?
What Emperor Wen of Sui means is that my ancestral grave is a treasure trove of geomantic omen? Yeah, don't you think I'm an emperor? But you can also say that this ancestral grave is a fierce place. Why? Because of my brother Zheng Yang, he died on the battlefield. My brother and I have the same ancestral grave. One became emperor, and the other died in battle. Excuse me, is our ancestral grave a treasure trove of feng shui?
A logical deduction can lead to a reasonable explanation: in fact, wealth is created by people, so where is the land of water in the world?
Let me give you another example, and we can see the weakness of Feng Shui theory. Among dozens of countries in Asia, only four developed countries are Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Israel.
Everyone knows the prestige of Israel. Its national strength can not be underestimated, its military strength is powerful, and it has swept the Middle East and won every battle. Its GDP is higher than that of many provinces in China. However, this tiny place with an area of only 22,000 square kilometers has a desert area of10.2 million square kilometers. Excluding the desert, the remaining land in Israel is 1 10,000 square kilometers. Don't worry, this 1000 square kilometer is not all livable, including the uninhabited plateau and the Grand Canyon, which directly accounts for half, that is, 5000 square kilometers. In other words, there are still 5,000 square kilometers of land for Israelis to live and develop. The total territory of China and Hong Kong is 1 1,000 square kilometers. Israel is a truly exploitable country, but it is equivalent to the area of five Hong Kong. I checked, the area of China and Beijing is1.4438+0,000 square kilometers. The total land area of Israel is only a little larger than that of Beijing, and the usable land area is less than one third of that of Beijing.

Looking at the climate, the whole summer in Israel is particularly humid and hot, with an average temperature of 45 degrees, and the annual rainfall is scarce, only 200 millimeters. Looking at the surrounding environment, it is very unstable on all sides, and there are hostile regimes and KB molecules eyeing Jews everywhere. Combining these unfavorable factors, in the view of China Feng Shui Master, this feng shui pattern is really hateful! Where is this, this, this place suitable for human habitation? !
(Israel is basically such a desert terrain)
However, Israel has great influence in the whole world, not only belongs to the first hegemony in the Middle East, but also has a huge voice in the world. The high prosperity of Israel just proves the ineffectiveness of Feng Shui theory.
Besides Israel, look at Japan, South Korea and Singapore. They are either islands in the corner or peninsulas lacking in resources. They are not vast at all, and have belonged to the wasteland far from the core of Central Plains civilization since ancient times. In the theory of geomantic omen, this place is not only a first-class paradise, but also a fourth-rate paradise. However, these three countries are well-known developed countries and the most important financial centers in the world.
