Who is the founder of Feng Shui? The legendary nine-day Xuan Nv.
Looking back at history, we can grasp the development and changes of Feng Shui, but the beginning of Feng Shui is still shrouded in myth.
So, who is the founder of Feng Shui? Let's learn about Feng Shui.
Geomantic omen, originally the art of observing geography, was also called geomantic omen in ancient times, or geomantic omen theory. Feng Shui is a mysterious art with a long history in China, also known as Jade Bird and Qingnangjing. A comparative academic point of view is called Kanyu. It is a theory to study the microscopic substances (air, water and soil) and the macro environment (heaven and earth) on which human beings depend for survival and development.
According to legend, the founder of Feng Shui is Jiutian Xuan Nv. Jiutian Xuan Nv, also known as Xuan Nv, is commonly known as Jiutian Empress, Jiutian Xuan Nv Empress and Jiutian Xuanmu Tianzun. She was originally Sivir in ancient China mythology, and was later regarded as a senior fairy and god by Taoism. Legend has it that she is a god of justice who knows military strategy and magical powers. Her image often appears in China's various classical novels, and she has become a heroine who helps heroes eliminate evil and violence. Therefore, her position in Taoist immortal belief is very important.
The belief in Jiutian Xuan Nv can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. According to folklore, the goddess of nine days is a goddess with infinite power. Because of her exploits in eliminating violence and comforting people, the Jade Emperor named her the Nine-Day Xuan Nv and the Nine-Day Virgin. According to Shan Hai Jing, the Book of Songs and other documents have their prototypes. Nine days is like drought, and sex is just moving. In nine days, troops can be dispatched, and books handed down from ancient times, such as Xuan Nv's True Classic of Treating Heart and Eliminating Evil in Nine Days, have been taught to the world.
The fundamental and core ideological basis of Feng Shui comes from the Book of Changes, and the relatively perfect knowledge of Feng Shui comes from the Warring States Period. The core idea of Feng Shui is the harmony between man and nature. The early geomantic omen mainly involved the methods and principles of the location, orientation and construction of palaces, houses, villages and cemeteries. It is a knowledge of choosing the right place.
The word "Feng Shui" was first seen in the Book of Burial written by Guo Pu in the Jin Dynasty, which mentioned: "Qi, dispersed by the wind, stops at the boundary of water; The ancients gathered to make it last forever, and the deeds stopped, so it was called Feng Shui. " This is the earliest definition of Feng Shui. In this book, the essence of feng shui is also put forward, that is, "the method of feng shui, first get water, then hide the wind."
Conclusion: There are many comments and controversies about Feng Shui. Some people think that Feng Shui is a comprehensive science in China, which combines the observation of environment, geography and health with a long history. Others think that Feng Shui is a superstition in the old world, which hinders the creativity of China people in architectural design and interior design.
