In those years, we didn't understand the personality, fortune and feng shui.
In the third period of sharing, we explained in detail the three factors that affect success: time, place and people. Although the article is long, there are still many friends who patiently read it and gave positive feedback. Many friends have a strong interest in the character, fortune and feng shui related content in the article. I hope we can talk about this part in more detail. Today, we will share our understanding of personality, fortune and feng shui, hoping to help you see personality, fortune and feng shui from the perspective of modern people.
The contents of personality, fortune and geomantic omen have always been deeply loved by ordinary people. Especially after Yang Junsong brought geomantic omen from the palace to the people in the Tang Dynasty, geomantic omen has been widely circulated among the people. However, in modern society, we China people gradually lost our traditional culture in the process of learning economic management from the West. Correspondingly, there are more and more experts and scholars studying China traditional culture abroad.
For young people who were born in New China, grew up under the red flag and lived in the 21st century, we need to think about the following three questions in order to understand the character, fortune and geomantic omen in traditional culture:
Are these things reliable?
if they are reliable, what is their underlying logic?
are there other application scenarios for their underlying logic?
The following are our thoughts on these three issues. I hope our sharing can bring you some inspiration.
? 1
personality, fortune and feng shui
? Is it reliable?
the answer is yes, and they are all reliable. Then why, sometimes we think they are reliable, and sometimes we think they are unreliable? In fact, the reason is also very simple. In the process of dissemination of traditional cultural knowledge in recent years, the fault is very serious. There is no special course to teach us this knowledge in class, and a lot of information we usually see on the Internet is copied, and the essence and dross coexist. At the same time, in the process of spreading this knowledge, it is generally characterized by being too commercialized, utilitarian, mysterious, demonized, entertaining and academic, which leads to the fact that most of us know less about personality, fortune and geomantic omen.
We know that enterprises will definitely take the candidate's personality as an important reference index when selecting talents, especially when considering candidates for key positions. The theory of "Berbin's team role" is a set of western theories to build the strongest team. According to its theory, a team needs different roles to succeed. Berbin divides these roles into three categories, one is thinking, the other is action, and the other is social. These three types of people are classified according to their personality traits. In fact, thousands of years ago, we ancient sages put forward the theory of five elements, according to which we can make an accurate personality analysis.
the year of birth is the most profound thing we have learned about fortune. Most people will think that the luck of the animal year is not very good. In fact, in our opinion, the greatest significance of the animal year is that it is a turning point. Our fortune is not static, and it changes every few years. Just like the K-line chart of stock and futures trading, all markets are composed of trends and consolidation shocks. In fact, it is not difficult to judge the trend. What is really difficult is to grasp the turning point. This is the same as our fortune in life. What we have to do is to pursue victory when the fortune is good, and hide our strength when the fortune is bad.
Feng Shui, especially Yang Zhai Feng Shui (including houses, shops, offices and other space areas where we live or move) is widely used in China architecture. We found that most of the houses in new residential areas were designed in accordance with the principle of geomantic omen. Many architects from Tsinghua, Tongji and Southeast University will design their houses more in line with modern geomantic omen when doing architectural design. In fact, it is also well understood that geomantic omen was originally a knowledge of choosing a suitable place in ancient times. Most of the common sense of geomantic omen is summed up by ancient people in their life experience from generation to generation, and many geomantic omen knowledge can be mutually confirmed with modern architecture.

Personality, fortune and geomancy
? What is the underlying logic?
Most of us are interested in personality, fortune and geomantic omen, but they often find them unfathomable and difficult to understand. In fact, the main reason is that I don't really understand what the underlying logic behind it is. It can be made clear in one sentence: the underlying logic of personality, fortune and feng shui is yin and yang, five elements and gossip.
a, yin and yang
yin and yang are the two most basic characteristics corresponding to the contradiction of everything in the world. Everything in the world has yin and yang. Yin and Yang are relative, not absolute. Yin and yang do not exist alone, but are two contradictory aspects. Where there is yin, there must be yang, and where there is yang, there must be yin. There is yang in yin and yin in yang. Yin and Yang can be transformed into each other.
Yin and Yang are dynamic, synchronous and reciprocal. The so-called solitary yin is not born, the solitary yang is not long, and yin and yang interact to produce everything. Like-sex repulsion and opposite-sex attraction exist at the same time, maintaining the relative balance of our world. Confucius said in Yi Zhuan that "one yin and one yang is the way", and explained the truth of yin and yang simply and clearly.
Marx's dialectical materialism in the 19th century is completely consistent with Fu Xishi's theory of Yin and Yang, which shows that China's traditional culture is profound and has a long history. Today, we are still learning the way of Yin and Yang because it can highly summarize the laws of everything in the world.
b, five elements
the five elements are the fire, water and soil in Jin Mu. It is the five basic forces that make up everything in the world. It includes tangible matter and intangible energy, and tangible matter and intangible energy can be transformed into each other. By introducing the five elements, we can more clearly analyze the changes of everything in the world. The five elements promote and restrict each other, thus maintaining the dynamic balance of our whole universe. If Yin and Yang are the theory of contradiction, then the five elements are the system theory. For your convenience, let's make a popular interpretation as follows:
Metal is extracted from minerals, and gold represents the power of change and convergence. Gold doctrine. People who belong to gold are generally more loyal and determined. They are natural leaders who are aboveboard, self-reliant and good at change. Its negative characteristics are self-centered and stubborn.
The branches and leaves of trees spread in all directions, and wood represents the power of stretching and germinating. Muzhuren. People who belong to wood are generally easygoing, kind and tough. Its negative characteristics are unstable temperament, sometimes submissive and sometimes stubborn.
water is the source of life, it is flowing, and water represents the power of flowing and collecting. Water governs wisdom. People who belong to water are generally adaptable, resourceful, knowledgeable, relatively low-key and can accumulate wealth. Its negative characteristics are that its principle is not strong enough and it is indecisive.
the direction of flame burning is upward, and fire represents that upward force. Fire is the main ceremony. Fire people are generally extroverted, enthusiastic and infectious. Its negative characteristics are impatience, emotionality and superficial attention.
Land is the mother of all things, and it represents the kind of load-carrying and biochemical power. Tuzhuxin. People who belong to the soil generally have a strong tolerance, do things steadily, have strong principles and stress integrity. Its negative feature is that it is too honest and lacks flexibility.
c and gossip
gossip are eight basic natural phenomena summarized by our ancestor Fu Xishi after long-term observation of nature. These eight basic phenomena are heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, water, fire, thunder and wind. Because there are no words, Fu Xishi used "one" for Yang and "-"for Yin. These two symbols were combined into eight different forms according to the changes of Yin and Yang in nature, which are called Eight Diagrams. Gossip first described natural phenomena, and later it was abstractly refined and applied to the laws of human society, and accordingly it became dry, Kun, Gen, Hui, Kan, Li, Zhen and Xun.
Later, Zhou Wenwang refined the Eight Diagrams and deduced them into sixty-four hexagrams. All kinds of natural phenomena and human social phenomena of everything in the world are inseparable from gossip and sixty-four hexagrams.
It should be noted that the five elements and eight diagrams are also divided into yin and yang, and they can correspond to each other. In addition, personality, fortune, feng shui and yin and yang, five elements and gossip are not one-to-one. Personality, fortune and geomantic omen are all different application scenarios in an ecosystem, and the underlying logic of this ecosystem is yin and yang, five elements and eight diagrams. Which is the book of changes. The Book of Changes is the head of the group classics and the general source of Chinese culture.

? Are there any other application scenarios for the underlying logic?
are there any other application scenarios for the ecosystem with the underlying logic of yin and yang, five elements and eight diagrams? If so, what are they?
the answer is yes, it has the following application scenarios
a and professional application scenarios
Chinese medicine, martial arts, divination and military
Chinese medicine is the most important professional application scenario at present. It was born in primitive society, and the theory of traditional Chinese medicine was basically formed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then it was summarized and developed in all previous dynasties. At present, Chinese medicine in Japan, Korean medicine in Korea, Korean medicine in Korea and eastern medicine in Vietnam are all developed on the basis of Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) bears the experience and theoretical knowledge of ancient people in China in fighting diseases, and is a medical theoretical system gradually formed and developed through long-term medical practice based on the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. On October 1, 218, the World Health Organization first included Chinese medicine in its globally influential medical program.
In martial arts, Tai Ji Chuan and Baguazhang are famous, both of which are the applications of Yin and Yang, Five Elements and Eight Diagrams.
When it comes to divination, we immediately think of Confucius' saying, "Those who are good at things don't predict". His words tell us that Confucius is good at divination and often divines, but he does not advocate divination. This is actually the same as what we advocate now, and the attitude towards fortune and feng shui is the same. Under normal circumstances, we don't have to deliberately understand the fortune and feng shui. We just need to be a moral and conscientious person at all times. But on the road of life, it is inevitable that there will be confusion. At this time, we can use the power of divination, fortune and geomantic omen to provide a reference for our choice.
In military affairs, such as The Art of War, Sun Tzu learned a lot of wisdom from Yin and Yang five lines of gossip.
B. Life scenes
Yin and Yang, five elements and eight diagrams are more widely used in our lives.
For example, men, women and children, positive and negative, inside and outside, before and after, good and bad, high and low are all concrete applications of yin and yang. Generally speaking, the positive belongs to Yang and the negative belongs to Yin. The ancients said that a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Misfortune depends on happiness, and happiness depends on misfortune. Is to apply the knowledge of yin and yang. For example, a strong woman has a strong career and her marriage is often unhappy. The same man who is too girly will not be likable. Like-sex repulsion, opposites attract. For example, men's clothing stores are generally simple black and white decoration. Black and white decoration belongs to yin, men belong to yang, and opposites attract. Women's clothing stores should be bright and colorful. This decoration style belongs to Yang. It happens to attract women, too.
the application of the five elements in life mainly includes orientation, color, four seasons and so on. For example, we have five directions in the southeast, northwest and middle, which correspond to the wood, fire, gold, water and soil. In terms of color, red, green, black, yellow and white respectively represent fire wood, water, soil and gold. Spring belongs to wood, summer belongs to fire, autumn belongs to gold, and winter belongs to water, but the last 18 days of each season belong to soil, because soil is the medium of transformation.
gossip is also widely used in life. For example, if there is a missing corner in the dry square of Yangzhai, that is, in the northwest, it is not good for the male host. There is a kitchen in the northwest, which is called burning Tianmen, which is also not conducive to the male host. The light one is injured and the heavy one is lost. By knowing gossip, we can avoid some obvious feng shui problems.
Learning the knowledge of Yin-Yang, Five Elements and Eight Diagrams can not only help us understand our personality, fortune and geomantic omen, but more importantly, let us know the law of everything in the world. In the end, we can learn how to get along with each other and between man and nature.
