How to understand Feng Shui and Zhouyi?

Feng Shui is a very important thought in China's traditional learning, which pays attention to people's living environment and the unity and harmony between man and nature. This is different from superstition. Many people think that watching Feng Shui is superstitious, but it is actually incorrect. In order to avoid natural disasters, ancient people paid great attention to the surrounding environment when choosing caves, such as whether the entrance of the cave should face the wind, whether it should avoid the attack of animals, whether there is water around it, whether it should live in high ground to avoid humidity and so on. Later, people officially lived in the house, but due to traditional habits, they still have to study the surrounding areas of the house and gradually formed a complete set of theories.

Zhouyi is an ideological thing, which reflects the attitude and way of thinking of ancient people towards the world and the universe. The biggest feature of Zhouyi is that it reflects a constantly changing process and always looks at things from a dynamic point of view. In ancient times, there were three Zhouyi, namely Yi Shan, Guizang and Zhouyi, and the first two were lost. According to legend, The Book of Changes was written by Zhou Wenwang. Nowadays, many people use Zhouyi to predict, and Zhouyi itself has the function of prediction, because it always looks at things from a dynamic point of view.
