Volcanoes, New Zealand’s Feng Shui Treasures-

In the traditional Chinese concept, volcanoes are something people avoid. However, New Zealand's volcanoes are "feng shui treasures". Not only have the indigenous Maori people been accustomed to living on dormant volcanoes covered with green grass in the past 1,000 years, but even today in the 21st century, houses built on the mountainside and foot of the volcano are also The value doubled. In addition, New Zealanders also use local materials and volcanic stones as building materials for the construction of houses and walls. The solid volcanic stone foundations and walls are a unique landscape of New Zealand's traditional architecture. Volcanic rocks have even become a symbol of a house’s “worth.” However, because it is too hard, drilling holes in volcanic stone to make foundations, or cutting volcanic stone to build walls, is also one of the most troublesome construction links for construction workers.

Volcanoes in the vast ocean provide essential land resources for the residents of island countries in the South Pacific. At the same time, volcanic ash rich in various nutrients allows local vegetation to grow lushly, creating conditions for people to collect and grow fruits and vegetables. It can be said that without volcanic eruptions, there would be no rich and colorful culture of South Pacific island countries. However, volcanic eruptions are still a symbol of "fear" and "evil power" in the minds of local people. In 2016, Disney produced the first animated film "Moana" with the South Pacific as the background. The main scenes were taken from the volcanic island of Hawaii, and the main villain was also the volcano demon. It can be seen that volcanoes have distinct contrasting colors in local culture. Dormant volcanoes are symbols of life, while erupting volcanoes and magma are formidable beasts.
