Do all battlefields in history depend on Feng Shui? Invite a Feng Shui master or Taoist priest to come to the place where the war is about to take place to check the Feng Shui? Calculate the probability of winning? if
During the Shang and Zhou dynasties in ancient China, it was a real thing for the princes to perform divination before going to war. The Chinese people at that time believed in this theory. Of course, the battle mode at that time was also very "democratic". Both sides could agree on a time and place for the "field battle" in advance, so everyone could choose when and where to fight. Of course, there are not many choices of places to change, most of which are open areas in key areas. Of course, this approach was limited to field battles, and there was no need to discuss siege warfare, because what was being fought for at that time was the city, and the defenders had a natural defensive advantage.
But since the Warring States Period, Chinese people have begun to attach importance to winning with "odds", so naturally this set of rules cannot continue. However, some superstitions still exist regarding the "result of the war", which is a very important judgment that cannot be known before the war. For example, in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is said that a broken flagpole before the war is considered to be a sign that the war will be lost, and The story of Pang Tong feeling unlucky when he met Luofengpo, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong had to worship before the naval battle to seek God's blessings, etc. It can be seen that these superstitious concepts are deeply rooted. Of course, these superstitions are all used by the party that has the initiative to start a war. If the passive party responds hastily and temporarily, there is no need to talk about any predictions.
