How did Feng Shui come from?

geomantic omen is the knowledge of environmental choice of ancient people in China, also known as landscape, geomancy, qingwu, etc. Emphasis is placed on the shape of the mountains and rivers in Longsha Cave, the semi-virtual and semi-real environment surrounded by gas habits, and even the philosophical cognitive system that is invisible, shapeless and tasteless. Because of the cognitive differences and no standardized answers, charlatans are full of them, pushing this method of harmony and cooperation between heaven and earth and nature to the mysterious and mysterious, so as to mix the world. Therefore, geomantic omen, like the Book of Changes and divination, has been mixed since ancient times, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Geomantic omen is the art of choosing good luck to avoid evil. From archaeological sites, it is found that ancient people chose to live in topography, landform and orientation with amazing consistency. The discovered Neolithic settlement sites show that it is most common to choose settlement sites on the back slope and at the edge of river swamp. This was true in both Yangshao and Longshan periods. From the point of view of site excavation, most of them focus on sunny places with dense water plants and high platforms near water. In order to make them hidden, safe and easy to hunt food from bottom to top or to facilitate farming, in short, it is a general rule to choose good luck and avoid disasters. These choices are still reasonable.

feng shui is literally understood as "wind" is flowing air; "Water" is the blood of the earth and the support for the growth of all things. Where there is wind and water, there is life and vitality, everything can grow and people can live. Good feng shui is always full of vitality and prosperity. The places with bad feng shui are always in danger, desolate and full of terror. Feng shui is also called "geomancy". What is "Kanyu"? Sima Qian's Historical Records in the Western Han Dynasty has a special term "Kanyu Jia". There is also a bibliography of Kanyu Jingui in Hanshu Yiwenzhi. In the ancient meaning of China, "Kan" means heaven and high place; "Yu" is authentic and low. "Kanyu" refers to the study of the relationship between heaven and tunnel, especially the terrain. Based on the organic view of nature at that time, it introduced astronomy, climate, earth, hydrology, ecological environment and other contents into the art of choosing address and setting up environment.

Feng Shui happened in China, and it is closely related to the Book of Changes. The Book of Changes is one of China's greatest books. To study China's knowledge and talk about China's culture, we have to study the Book of Changes. China's cultural thought is profound, broad and meticulous, and all its philosophical foundations are closely related to the Book of Changes. The Book of Changes is applied to Heaven, such as heavenly stems, earthly branches, meteorology and solar terms; Used in tunnels, earth, mountains, rivers and lakes, roads, towns, villages and houses; Applied to humanity, people's ethics and code of conduct, etc. Yin-yang and five elements are the basis of Yijing. Geomantic omen, the knowledge of choosing and building people's living environment, is based on the Book of Changes, which is used to guide people to choose, layout and build the surrounding environment. It is believed that man can flourish only if he cooperates with heaven and imitates it. If you violate the laws of nature, you will fail and suffer. Therefore, when choosing and building living environment, Feng Shui always combines cities, villages and houses with astronomical phenomena. "law heaven is like the earth", and strive to "help heaven and help people" "Everything breeds without harming each other, and Tao runs parallel without contradicting each other", so that people and their surrounding living environment, climate, astronomical phenomena, animals and plants, topography and so on can achieve the relationship of harmony, * * * progress and mutual assistance. Thus, the situation of "harmony between man and nature" and "mutual assistance between man and nature" and "harmony, the status of heaven and the cultivation of everything" can be achieved.
