Feng Shui is a great wealth left to us by our ancestors for thousands of years, and it is a combination of natural science and life. It should be said that, whether we are aware of it or not, it has penetrated into many parts of our lives and has become one with our lives. The simplest example is that we all know that the house is best built against the mountain and near the water, what is the reason?

There is no need to discuss the professional theory of the five elements and eight trigrams of the heavenly stem and the earthly branch, in fact, the simplest and most realistic reason for our distant ancestors to choose to back the mountain and face the water is: living behind the mountain can avoid the cold wind from the north; Living on the north side of the water allows you to enjoy the sunshine of the south, and with water as a barrier, it is convenient to use water for daily use. This is one of the origins of Feng Shui.

But today, people who don't believe it think it's superstition, people who half-believe it think it's mysterious, people who believe it feel that it's hard to distinguish between good and bad, and whether they believe it or not, they will feel a little chaotic in the feng shui world. What is the real Feng Shui?

First, the development of traditional feng shui to the present, especially since the Ming and Qing dynasties, has become a complex theoretical system, and while the branches attack each other and merge with each other, many feng shui "pseudo-studies" have been introduced, adding many superstitious elements;

Second, feng shui was originally used exclusively by the royal family, and it was not allowed to be used by the people, so it has a sense of mystery since ancient times; In the process of the development and evolution of post-feng shui, while its professionalism has been continuously strengthened, many feng shui masters have made a fool of themselves in order to elevate themselves; In order to maintain the seriousness of the doctrine, the real masters are very strict in selecting disciples, coupled with the disconnection of the dynasty due to historical reasons in the cultural inheritance, so that the sense of mystery is becoming more and more prevalent;

Third, because of the vastness and depth of its knowledge, it is difficult for ordinary people to learn all their lives, let alone understand it, so there are not many masters in the world; From the beginning of the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially to the turbulent period of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, there were many half-informed people and many well-spoken laymen who swaggered and deceived in order to make a living or profit, which not only affected the reputation of the true feng shui doctrine, but also made it difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between truth and falsehood; The incompatibility between various schools and the fact that they look down on others at all also make it more difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between the true and the fake;

Fourth, in recent years, many "masters" have taken the opportunity of cultural inheritance to "open up the mountain and establish a school" and "write books to educate people", and their "works" often copy ancient books "to learn from the strengths of hundreds of schools" and have not been integrated, and often do not go through a lot of practice and "create" some new theories and new schools through speculation, and hype up the propaganda, especially after the 90s after the social atmosphere is open and the network is gradually developed, either by buying things to make a fortune, or by holding high-cost training courses to deceive the Quartet, and the really talented and knowledgeable feng shui masters, They don't bother to hype themselves, and they don't have real industry norms, so that they form a chaotic situation.

What is the real Feng Shui? The core idea of Feng Shui is the harmony between man and nature.

The prerequisite for the emergence of feng shui is that there is a nest of nest wood, and the Suiren family drills wood for fire;

The legend of the Nine Heavens Xuannu and the leader of the Zhou tribe at the end of the Xia Dynasty, Gong Liu, "both Jing Naigang, its Yin and Yang, and its flowing spring" and "After King Wu succeeded to the throne, King Zhou Cheng, the son of King Wu, was asked to summon the Duke to Luoxiang's house in order to build Luoyang in the east. "The specific behavior of these nobles in the selection and construction of palaces and cemeteries.

Feng Shui originated during the Warring States period and developed in the Qin and Han dynasties. After the continuous research and accumulation of the sages of the past generations, people discovered the essence of all things, and called it "qi". The development of the doctrines of Qi, Dao, Tai Chi, Four Elephants, and Bagua laid a complete foundation for the establishment of Feng Shui.

After Jin Guopu wrote the funeral scriptures, "The qi will disperse when the wind rides, and the boundary water will stop." The ancients gathered to make it not disperse, and the practice made it stop, so the concept of "Feng Shui" was established, and the life experience of those ancestors gradually developed into a systematic natural science, and Feng Shui also completely stood out from other techniques and became an independent doctrine.

By the Tang Dynasty, the theory of feng shui tended to mature, and the master Yang Yunsong brought feng shui to the people after the Anshi Rebellion, and since then it has flourished and there are many factions.

It can be seen that Feng Shui is actually the study of human settlements (including life and death).
