Introduction to geomantic knowledge
China geomantic omen, or geomantic omen, now known as residential environmentology, originated in primitive times, took shape in the Yao and Shun periods, matured in the Han and Tang Dynasties and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Fengshui is a valuable experience accumulated by human beings in their long-term life practice. Facing the sun, sheltering from the wind and rain, preventing fire, being close to water sources and facilitating travel have become the most basic living theories. For thousands or even tens of thousands of years, people have constantly summarized the advantages and disadvantages of living environment, and in the Han and Tang Dynasties, a very mature and systematic theory of China's geomantic omen was formed. Peng Zu's disciple Tsing Yi said, "The internal qi generates, the external qi becomes, the internal and external forces multiply, and the geomantic omen becomes its own. Guo Pu, a native of A Jin, explained Feng Shui in the Book of Tibetan Scriptures: "Qi dispels the wind, and the boundary water stops. The ancients gathered together and made it last forever, so it was called Feng Shui. Huai Nan Zi, which was conceived in Han Dynasty, recorded: the way of heaven and earth running. There are yin and yang changes in the moon, and there are also times when they collide and overlap with each other. The former is fierce and the latter is auspicious. Gai Kanyu actually means the way of heaven and earth. Xu Shen's Shuo Wen explains: Kan, Tian; I don't understand, tunnel. The definition of geomantic omen in Modern Chinese Dictionary refers to the geographical situation of residential bases and cemeteries, such as the context and the direction of mountains and rivers. Superstitious people believe that the quality of geomantic omen can affect the rise and fall of families and children. The word feng shui originated in Fuxi era. According to the simple map developed by Taihao Fuxi, it is inferred that the earth has a period of geomantic omen. " "Plain Sutra" records: "Textual research says: one fog, two geomantic omen, three mountains and rivers, four hills, five rivers, six rivers, seven small rivers, eight water shortages and nine water shortages. "The feng shui referred to here should be the original meaning of feng shui. Residential feng shui diagram
"Funeral Book" put forward Feng Shui for the first time: "Qi rides the wind and disperses, but stops at the boundary of water. The ancients gathered to make it last forever and stop it, so it was called Feng Shui. " Feng Shui: Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments (yin and yang, positive and negative), two instruments give birth to four phases (five elements), four phases give birth to eight diagrams, and eight diagrams give birth to twenty-four mountains. Feng shui is divided into: dragon, cave, sand, water, direction, meaning, shape and sky (celestial layout). All senior feng shui masters do it according to these principles, but they should be calculated according to human numerology and nature. Because the famous saying of the former people is: one life, two luck, three feng shui, four products and five studies; Zen master Pan Guojing said: Everything in the universe is changing, and it has gone through four stages: formation, existence, badness and emptiness. China ancients called geomantic omen geomantic omen, also called geography, so it was called geomantic geography. It can be interpreted as: the research and analysis theory of (sky observation), geography (exploration site), wind (airspace), water (hydrology and water quality) and land (topography and geology).
In the method of regulating qi, it can be roughly divided into two schools, with several branches. The school that directly uses gossip and hexagrams to manage qi is the hexagram school. Including Bazhai School, Kong Xuan Xing Fei School (there are six schools with more than 100 primary schools), Qimen Feng Shui, Heluo Feng Shui, Dayuan Yi Li School, Jinsuo Guan Yu and so on. The school that adopted the principles of Hetu, Luoshu, Bagua, Yin and Yang and Five Elements in past dynasties is the Five Elements School. Including Yang Gong Feng Shui, New Trinity School, Numerology Feng Shui, Zhengwuxing Feng Shui, etc. At present, Feng Shui in China has developed into many schools of Feng Shui, and each school has different theories. Let me give you a detailed introduction: (1) Situation School: (1) Toutou School (2) Elephant School (3) Shape School (2) Rationalism Style: (1) Bazhai School (2) Numerology School (3) Sanhe School (4)

Feng shui can be traced back to ancient times.
"Formal Method" and "Inference Method"
China Feng Shui "shape method" is mainly used for site selection and shape selection; The "logical method" focuses on determining the indoor and outdoor orientation mode; In addition, there is a kind of "Japanese law" used to choose auspicious days to make things happen; The law of auxiliary truth chooses unfavorable measures to remedy the laws. According to the applicant, China Feng Shui is divided into Yang Zhai Feng Shui, that is, Yang Zhai Xiang method, which specializes in the location and layout of Guo Cheng houses where strangers live; Yin house geomantic omen, that is, Yin house burial method, specializes in the location and layout of graves and graves of the dead. China's geomantic omen has different living environments, including the so-called secluded house, the house in the wilderness and the house in the valley. For example, ternary geography focuses on the application of geomantic omen. For houses in the wilderness and in the valley, due to their close relationship with the surrounding natural geographical environment, more attention is paid to forms and methods; However, due to the limitation of its external environment, Jingyi House often adopts the way of paying equal attention to form and rationality. The school of geomantic omen in China pays attention to finding dragons, examining sand, looking at water, taking acupoints and orienting. However, it pays attention to the theories of Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Branches and Branches, Eight Diagrams and Nine Palaces, and establishes a set of strict field work tools-jujube compass to determine the location planning orientation. China's geomantic omen, regardless of the situational school or the rational style, has formed many practical methods in history, but it must follow the following three principles: the principle of the integration of heaven and earth; Principle of balance between yin and yang; The principle of mutual generation and mutual resistance of the five elements.

Geomantic omen theory is actually a natural science integrating geophysics, hydrogeology, cosmology, meteorology, environmental landscape, architecture, ecology and human life informatics. Its purpose is to seriously investigate and understand the natural environment, use and transform nature, and create a good living environment.
Unity of heaven, earth and man
Feng Shui permeates every process of traditional architectural activities in China. From site selection planning, building monomer, garden sketch, indoor and outdoor decoration design to construction, it is almost everywhere. From the perspective of modern real estate brand planning, we must first establish several geomantic views on the architectural layout of modern residential areas: (1) Taiji ubiquitous view; Have a vision; Gas guide view of gas field. 1, Tai Chi is everywhere. A city, a village, a courtyard, a building, a house, a room ... are all qi, but at different levels. The layout of residential buildings depends not only on its own Tai Chi, but also on the Tai Chi of building groups. The layout of the building should be based on neat terrain and complete Tai Chi. It is not advisable to lose the position of a part of the building. In the layout of building lots, we should pay great attention to the field effect of Taiji diagram, carefully choose open space, and choose the small garden green space in the building complex in the central lot, and decorate it with architectural sketches. In residential design, a residential building should not be short of corners. Households on residential floors should not be staggered, resulting in a corner missing from each household's plane. 2. Feng Shui has five elements: dragon, cave, sand, water and direction, and its essence is qi. Looking for dragons, holes, sand, water and orientation is to find healthy qi suitable for the human body and avoid evil spirits that are not conducive to the human body, to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and to seek good fortune and avoid evil. There is a field between things, and qi comes from the field. Modern science has initially proved that the human body has farmland gas, plants have farmland gas, buildings have farmland gas and everything has farmland gas. Just like gravity, field gas is universal. A building can be insignificant, but if it forms a complex, the atmosphere may change dramatically. 3. Field gas guides the observation of Feng Shui gas, which is the gas in the unified field gas of universe field gas, ground field gas, regional field gas, building group field gas, plant field gas and human body field gas. The atmosphere of the universe, the earth and the region is the atmosphere of the big field. Big field, empty place, real place. Yangzhai is mostly located in similar basins and semi-basins (mountain ring and mountain bay). Such areas are rich in water and soil, suitable for people's livelihood and conducive to accepting the atmosphere. The characteristic of field gas is spiral motion, and any local field gas with a certain level of spiral motion is a part of the cosmic environment. Microenvironment Plants, buildings and human bodies are all small atmospheres. The microenvironment is called geogas in geomantic omen, and geogas comes from high places and goes from low places. But under certain conditions, this kind of place can be properly guided by human intelligence in the local environment.
According to the authority of Feng Shui, the core of Feng Shui prevailing in China is comprehensive consideration, comprehensive analysis and overall consideration, which mainly includes ten aspects. 1. Observe the influence of cosmic stars on human beings. The ancients paid great attention to the influence of the sun, the moon and the stars on human beings, mainly in the aspects of lighting, vertical orientation and date selection in Feng Shui. The four seasons of Yuanyun are all formed by the cycle of stars, so there is no doubt that the movement of celestial bodies affects people. The so-called integrity is heaven, and the tunnel is also. Where there is genius and land, there is water and everything. Observing the sky, understanding the sky, the sky coming up, the earth downloading, the image in the sky, the formation in the earth, and choosing the place of Feng Shui according to the stars have become the most primitive and basic knowledge in Feng Shui. China's summer calendar, which was formed thousands of years ago, and the lunar calendar, which is still in use today, all have important contributions from Feng Shui masters. It is also a very important method in geomantic omen to predict the good or bad luck of the world according to the phenomena in the starry sky. Seven houses and four surpluses, taking turns on duty. Tianxing also has a series of programs in time, mainly in Tianxing's bird performance day class. Second, distinguish the quality of wind (air), water and ground (soil) and their effects on people. This is the foundation of geomantic omen. Wind is the air that people breathe, water is the water for people to eat, source water, soil is the soil for planting crops, and the soil for acupoints. Because air, water and soil are the most basic substances for human survival, if the quality of wind (air) is not good, the water quality is not good and the soil quality is not good, it will cause diseases and bring disasters to human beings. I don't think anyone will deny this. Ancient geomantic omen mainly expected to measure air quality by smelling air, water quality by tasting fish and soil quality by kneading soil. Snow Cloud: The lush grass and thick soil are one of the ways to measure the quality of Feng Shui according to its use. This method is introduced in Yi Futang's Ten Methods of Positive Anger. In ancient times, science and technology were underdeveloped, so feng shui masters should use primitive methods such as seeing, smelling, tasting, kneading and weighing to identify the quality of feng shui land. Today, with the development of science, Feng Shui experts still cling to these simple methods, do not keep pace with the times, do not innovate tools, and do not use scientific instruments to measure air quality, water quality and soil quality. Some people even turn a blind eye to these basic principles. If we give up these simple methods, I think those geomantic sages will be furious and scold us if they are in the spirit of heaven. Thirdly, the effect of the appearance and feelings of geomantic land on people is investigated. The wind referred to here is both air and space. Water is ditches, streams, rivers, lakes and oceans accumulated by water. Land is a ridge formed by soil accumulation. Later, feng shui experts called the mountain directly behind the location (acupoint) of Yin and Yang's home as dragon, and the other mountains as sand. feng shui
In the process of human reproduction, governing the country and ensuring the people, marching and fighting, it is found that it is very important to observe the sky, survey the landform, understand the terrain and distinguish the geology, which is related to the rise and fall of human beings, the long-term stability of the country and the success or failure of the war, so the original geomantic geography theory was formed. Feng shui experts have found that the shape and appearance of mountains and rivers will affect people's behavior and good or bad luck. Geomantic omen also personifies and humanizes the mountain and river space, which is understood as emotional expression according to the morphological expression of the mountain and river space. It is auspicious to be affectionate to the family of Yin and Yang, unlucky to be heartless to the family of Yin and Yang, and fierce to be affectionate to the family of Yin and Yang. This is a higher level theory in Feng Shui. These contents of Feng Shui are called Anthropology. Detailed explanations can be found in Feng Shui classics, such as Kate Sutra, Tsukiji Sutra, Xue Xinfu, Shake the Dragon Sutra, Doubt the Dragon Sutra, Fu Weifu, Instructions for the Son of Man and so on. Fourth, the effect of qi in feng shui on people. There is an invisible and intangible qi between the three, which is not air, but something that can only be understood, expressed and measured with a compass. It is circulated, gathered, gestated and embodied by the space of heaven, earth and mountains. Qi can be divided into auspicious qi and fierce qi. Only by understanding this kind of qi, accepting it and abandoning fierceness can we reach the highest state of Feng Shui. Therefore, riding the wind is the top technology of Feng Shui. "The Book of Burial" says that "harmony is the most important thing for qi, shape is the most important thing for qi, potential is the most important thing for qi, soil is the most important thing for qi, and dragon is the most important thing for qi", "shape stops qi, and everything is born" and "hide, hide and anger. Qi of yin and yang, that is, wind, clouds, rain and earth qi. Yi Futang's three articles, Ten Angers in Internal Syndrome, Ten Angers in External Syndrome and Auspicious and Fierce Fengshui, all introduced the methods of recognizing qi. Fifth, the role of the magnetic field orientation of Feng Shui on people. This is a very important content in Feng Shui. The main measuring tool is the compass. According to the experience of the ancients, it is found that the landscape orientation around Yin and Yang Mansions interacts with the orientation and position of Yin and Yang Mansions, which will have a direct and indirect impact on human beings, and will affect their life and death, fortunes and good fortune. Therefore, a large number of theories have been produced to deduce and infer. Feng shui experts call it regulating qi. There are six main categories of regulating qi: 1: innate gossip's theory of static coordination. 2. Apply the acquired gossip dynamic balance theory. 3. The theory that the nine planets use the method of purifying Yin and Yang. 4. On the tomb of Sanhe Wang Sheng. 5. Using the theory of star matching landscape. 6. Using the theory that mountains and rivers cooperate with the ternary nine (eight) movement. Each category is divided into many schools. Some of the contents of the factions are different from each other, some are quite different, and some attack each other. Regulating qi is the most popular and complicated content in geomantic omen, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. It is the place with the most dross. This is the most attacked academic. Because many contents of regulating qi are mysterious, it is difficult to justify it with scientific explanation and factual verification. Many people have been adjusting their breath all their lives and wrote a magnificent book, adding a compass layer by layer, with the intention of explaining the essence and exploring the mystery of Feng Shui. This spirit is commendable. But it's easy to get caught up in the small circle of backward learning and can't get rid of it. People say that Feng Shui is superstitious, because they think that measuring the direction with a compass and saying something good or bad is the whole of Feng Shui, that is, Feng Shui master. This is obviously unfair to Feng Shui. According to Yi Futang's understanding, regulating qi is not the whole of Feng Shui. Although regulating qi is a very important theory in Feng Shui, it is not the most critical and core theory. This is why ancient philosophers, wise men and Confucians tried their best to create and study thousands of principles and qi, but they could not solve all the mysteries of Feng Shui. Sixth, locate the position and trend of yin and yang rooms. feng shui
After mastering the above principles, you can choose to determine the location of Yin and Yang House. It's called acupoints in feng shui. Acupoints are the core of Feng Shui, because all efforts of Feng Shui are based on Yin and Yang. All feng shui environments are centered on Yin and Yang families. Because only the true point and the positive point are the places where the vitality of Feng Shui meets, and the auspicious spirit of Feng Shui can be obtained. It is easy to understand that Yang Zhai will be influenced by Feng Shui, and the place where Yin people are buried will have an impact on his descendants, which is beyond the understanding of modern science. However, according to the experience of the ancients and a large number of facts today, this role does exist, and sometimes it is more obvious than the role of yangzhai. Why is this? Yi futang is incompetent and cannot explain this truth with scientific principles. But we can't think that everything that modern science can't explain is useless and unreliable. Because science also has limitations, science is not omnipotent, and modern science is not perfect. After selecting the location of the house of Yin and Yang, choose the most suitable direction for construction to receive the vitality of the surrounding landscape space. It is called the standing direction, and the standing direction has become the key to Feng Shui. Look at the official buildings in ancient times. They all sit facing south, while Zishan faces noon. It can be seen that Feng Shui pays great attention to the choice of direction. Seven, weather, feng shui, the role of time coordination on people. The ancients found that building houses of Yin and Yang on different dates and in different directions will also play a great role in the rise and fall of people. Even some national, social and life events can increase their happiness or success by choosing time. So he founded the theory of choosing time. In feng shui, it is called day shift. Japanese studies mainly include Nature, Star-making, Heluo, Doushou, Qimen, Liu Ren, Bird Show and Bai Zi. Feng Shui experts also found that different periods of the "Three Yuan Nine Games" will also affect the quality of Yin and Yang rooms in different ways. Therefore, a variety of schools have been formed, such as three elements and six methods of metaphysics. Because time is produced by the movement of heaven and earth, and what is perceived by people, since people and heaven and earth are one, it is natural that time will play a role in people. According to the above analysis, the theory of geomantic omen includes not only heaven, earth, wind, water and other substances, but also time, which is an overall combination of space and time and the most comprehensive and systematic macro analysis and optimization. Eight, the architectural design of Yin and Yang Building and the improvement of architecture and geomantic omen. China geomantic omen regards the design and construction in the construction of Yin-Yang House as a necessary method to follow the whole construction process of Yin-Yang House. Such as direction, lighting, size, height, color, room, stove, bed, door, furniture and other internal office selection arrangements, as well as the design and layout of wells, gatehouses, roads, bridges, toilets, water outlets and so on. The ancients knew that no place was perfect, and some bad environments could be artificially changed. The so-called visual intelligence is a tool of strength. In ancient villages, Houlongshan and Shuikoushan were planted in large quantities, and forests were strictly protected, which shows that the ancients attached importance to the construction of ecological environment. There are many ways to change the feng shui landscape, such as changing rivers, building bridges, roads, digging ponds, building fences, building towers, etc., in order to obtain a good living environment. This is due to Feng Shui. Feng Shui is called these Gong Li practices, and it is also a compulsory course and kung fu of Feng Shui. So ancient feng shui masters were also architects. Nine, the custom and etiquette of respecting ancestors and worshipping ancestors, be cautious and pursue the distance. An important way to show filial piety. Burying ancestors is the best way for China people to search for and respect their ancestors carefully. As the saying goes, when people are buried underground, they must return to the ground. Choose a place with beautiful scenery and concentrated gas field, erect a monument and build a tomb, and engrave the names of ancestors, so that future generations can pay tribute to their ancestors, remember them and carry forward the past. This is of great significance to China people's moral construction and social progress. According to Feng Shui, in the process of burying ancestors, certain ceremonies should be held to express their grief and filial piety. When building a villa, it should be carried out in accordance with certain ceremonies and procedures in major social or life events. Although the provisions of these ceremonies vary from place to place, they are also practical contents and an indispensable part of Feng Shui. With these ceremonies, the implementation of Feng Shui can be completed step by step and politely. This has also formed a kind of China folk heritage. Ten, accumulate virtue to persuade people to be filial, to persuade people to be kind, to make people upward, to make people happy, and to tell people to conform to the laws of nature and optimize the natural environment to improve their lives and society. This is the basic idea and the highest goal of Feng Shui. The ancients in China believed that heaven and earth were integrated, and people's hearts were interlinked with the aura of heaven and earth. A beautiful mind can empathize with a beautiful land of Feng Shui, and a person with a beautiful mind can get a beautiful room of Yin and Yang, and can get good luck and kindness from the land of Feng Shui. On the other hand, people with ugly hearts can't get beautiful rooms of yin and yang, only ugly rooms of yin and yang, and they will only be punished by fierce feng shui. Therefore, Feng Shui attaches great importance to the spiritual shaping and purification of Feng Shui users and teachers, and attaches great importance to moral cultivation and accumulation. Happiness comes from the heart, and the land is made by the heart. Feng shui can change fate and win divine power, which was highly affirmed by the ancients. Feng Shui tells people to be able to adapt to natural Feng Shui.
Method, to achieve harmony between man and nature, optimize the natural environment, will have a good house of Yin and Yang, good luck and shade of Feng Shui, and be safe and prosperous for yourself and future generations. Therefore, if everyone can get a good feng shui and be lucky, the society will be harmonious because of everyone's peace, happiness and nation-state will prosper because everyone has a harmonious society with developed families. This is the greatest contribution of Feng Shui to mankind. According to the above analysis, it can be said that China Feng Shui is cosmology, astronomy, celestial movement orientation, geophysics, geomagnetic orientation, hydrology, geology and geomorphology, environmental landscape, natural ecological architecture, social ethics, aesthetics, anthropoinformatics, meteorology, timing, folklore, philosophy of life, metaphysics, Yi-ology, prediction and Yin-Yang studies. This is the crystallization of the great wisdom of the ancient Chinese people, which should be learned and inherited by our future generations and should be vigorously carried forward.
Edit this section Feng Shui-two patterns
1, there are mountains on the left and right sides of the ideal building of Qinglong Baihusha, but these mountains are shorter and smaller than mountains. Otherwise, it is still not an ideal feng shui. On the other hand, there are no mountains on the left and right sides of the building, which is called the lack of "Qinglong Sand" and "White Tiger Sand" in geomantic omen. But there are buildings on both sides, which is auspicious. 2, the dragon is strong and the tiger is weak. In Feng Shui, I like it best. The dragon is the dragon, pointing to the left, also known as the left auxiliary side and the left sand hand, referred to as the left hand. The tiger is the white tiger, which refers to the right side, also known as the right hand and the right hand sand hand, referred to as the right hand. Dragons are better than tigers!
