The relationship between water spirituality and geomantic omen

? There is a saying in ancient geomantic omen that "the earth is like a human body", which is in the same strain as Dong Zhongshu's "days between people". In the preface to Qing Nao written by Emperor Zeng Wendi in Tang Dynasty, the blood flowing in human body is compared to the water and harmony in nature, and it is considered that "water is the essence of the blood of mountain families". Under the influence of the concept of harmony between man and nature, China's geomantic theory regards nature itself as a spiritual organism, and man is only a part of this system.

Therefore, geomantic omen pays attention to the relationship between man and architecture and nature, closely combines heaven, earth and man, and "opposes the meaning of mountains and rivers with man's will and the feelings of mountains and rivers with man's love", so that man can live in harmony with the natural environment, thus achieving the realm of harmony between man and nature. In the Song Dynasty, Cai compared water, fire, earth and stone in nature to human flesh and blood.

When discussing the situation around the house, Huangdi House Classic pointed out: "Take 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 you get this way, it is a matter of strictness and elegance, but it is fortunate. "The earth is compared to the human body. Heaven and earth. That is, the law of development of all things depends on weather, geography, people and harmony.

Although people and the earth have different attributes, Feng Shui master said that "the earth is like a human body" only has his reason. The earth breeds all human beings, such as mountains, rivers, plants, insects, fish, birds and animals, rivers and so on. Just like all the components of the human body, they are interrelated, coordinated and indispensable! This has nothing to do with whether their attributes are the same or not, which is why we like to use everything on earth in sentences, because it has something to do with us.
