I am interested in China's traditional metaphysics, especially Feng Shui. But I don't understand at all. Please give me some advice. What books should I read to study? Thank you in advance
The choice of learning materials is very important! Generally speaking, learning Feng Shui and numerology probably includes several major contents:
1, basic part-
First, the five elements theory;
B, yin and yang theory;
C. I ching gossip.
……
2, numerology-because Feng Shui is inseparable from numerology.
We need to understand the following concepts: four-pillar departure, ten gods giving birth to grams, combination of punishment and cadres, Shierwang Reservoir, Universiade departure, arch clip, pattern and so on.
3. Feng Shui part-
A. What does the geomantic omen of Bazhai School include?
B, what does rational feng shui include?
B, understand the application of compass;
……
The content is complex, there are many factions and a hundred schools of thought contend.
Please do not pay attention to any faction. In the selection of books, it is best to give priority to numerology and geomantic books that have been circulated for more than 100 years. For example, Three Deaths Meeting, Zi Ping Zhen Quan, Ten Books Yang Zhai, Buried Books and so on.
As for the content structure of learning, you can go to Fan Chuan Ren Shan's blog to find the related blog post of "Ancient Culture Tool Software" developed by him. The introduction of the software will give you some inspiration.
