Is there an insurmountable gap between Feng Shui and science? How to use science to explain Feng Shui?
I have always felt that Feng Shui is very magical. It belongs to the feudal culture of ancient China and is completely different from modern science. However, it also involves some knowledge of architecture and psychology. Feng Shui and science There is a certain correlation, but modern science cannot fully explain Feng Shui. Feng Shui originated in China, and a lot of Feng Shui knowledge is unknown. Modern people either regard Feng Shui as feudalism, or they regard Feng Shui as mystical science.
I wonder what everyone thinks of Feng Shui? I think Feng Shui has been able to exist in China for such a long time, which definitely has its merits. I am more curious about Feng Shui than disbelief. Because I feel that there are so many things in the world that make no sense and cannot be explained, so I don’t want to deny them so quickly. The reason why Feng Shui is so mysterious is that it contains a lot of knowledge that modern people cannot understand or recognize.
When talking about Feng Shui, the first thing that comes to my mind is the location and decoration. For example, this room should face north and south, the bed should be placed here, and the windows should be opened in this position. Many people will find it unscientific when they hear these statements based on the directions of east, west, north, and south, as well as some statements about gathering wealth or driving away evil spirits. In fact, the settings of those directions are often related to the position of the sun and the house. These are actually considered architectural knowledge.
In addition, why do I say that Feng Shui has a certain correlation with psychology? In fact, many houses with bad Feng Shui are very dark or airtight. It is very problematic in building decoration, and it has an impact on people's psychological state. Living in a dark room for a long time will also worsen people's mental state and make them suspicious. Originally, there was no problem in living in this house, but after living there for a long time, I will feel that there is something wrong in the house.
In general, science and Chinese Feng Shui are very different, but there are also certain similarities between them, which are not completely insurmountable. As for whether modern science can explain Feng Shui, I think it may have to wait until science develops to a higher level before it can explain these mysterious things.
