What is it like to study Feng Shui?

Science! Feng Shui itself, except for the superstitious part with ulterior motives, the rest basically conforms to scientific laws.

I have not systematically studied Feng Shui, but there is a carpenter next door to me, an old carpenter, and he has talked about it a bit. My dad works as a finishing machine, and I often repaired his tools for free. When I was a kid, I loved listening to the old carpenter telling stories.

The carpenter once said, for example, when building a house in rural areas, the basic routine is: don’t plant mulberries in the front, don’t bury willows in the back, and don’t plant ghosts and claps around the house. Mulberry and willow mostly represent loss and separation in Chinese culture, except for the negative impact of this psychological suggestion. Mulberry trees attract insects, and many of the larvae that hang cocoons and spin silk can basically eat mulberry leaves, such as the most picky silkworms. Children who play under mulberry trees are prone to problems such as skin allergies, bites, inflammation, etc. Some of these diseases were difficult to treat in ancient times.

Willow trees, the roots of these trees climb wildly. Before reinforced cement concrete became popular, willow trees were planted next to the house. When the weather was humid, the roots could break the roots of walls and feet, which could easily cause the house to collapse.

Ghost clapping hands is actually a general term for broad-leaved plants. The sound insulation effect of ancient houses is not good, so you can't plant on the side of the house. When the wind blows, it makes a lot of noise. The moonlight shining on the window at night can easily lead to people's thoughts, which affects their rest. People don't get enough sleep, are not energetic, and are not healthy. A generation of people It’s unhealthy, two generations are unhealthy, three or five generations are amazing, and the whole family will be eaten by ghosts clapping their hands. Trees can live longer than people.

This was all told to me by an illiterate old carpenter. There may be slight differences in local explanations, but the truth is generally the same.

Finally, the old carpenter is really awesome! Although he was illiterate, he listened to the radio and watched TV and summed up a set of scientific concepts to explain his life. I have always admired him. Unfortunately, he later got throat cancer and had no money for medical treatment, so he hanged himself. It's a pity. . .
