In the application of Feng Shui, some schools have added a lot of rigid methods of sword charms, thus diluting the true meaning of its flexibility.

In fact, the feng shui of those clever schools can be traced without traces, and the use of Yili can be forgotten and forget its shape, through the shift of directions, the arrangement of plants, the choice of colors, and the layout of furniture to achieve the effect of adapting measures to local conditions, according to the shape, and promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, so as to form its unique wisdom and art of living.

The ancient feng shui culture gave birth to the mysterious flower of "Zhou Yi", and the other way around

The development of "Yixue" itself theoretically continues to deliver rehydration to the rhizome on which it sprouts.

Throughout the Warring States Qin and Han dynasties, the feng shui culture gradually went beyond the empirical experience of choosing a place to live, and began to learn from many aspects

"Theory" and

The process of "method", the main literature that records this process is the various interpretations and exertions that came out one after another after the birth of "Zhou Yi", which is commonly referred to as the "Ten Articles of Yi Chuan".

First of all

"River Chart" with

The emergence of "Vena Shu" opened up the way

"Yili" runs through the channel of Feng Shui concept. And then there's

"Yin and Yang" with

The doctrine of the "Five Elements" was incorporated into the Bagua system. They promote the passage of feng shui culture from different perspectives such as digital structure and biochemical principles

The conditioning of "easy to learn" builds a feng shui culture

"Lilun System". Authentic Taoist Feng Shui is a concept of residence selection and corresponding operation based on the cosmology of "Zhou Yi", and a wide range of cultural phenomena have been derived from it.

The core structure of this cosmology is what the Taoists call it

"Heaven and man are of the same origin". And because all things in heaven and earth and human beings come from the same root (the operation and change of the qi of the five elements of yin and yang), the entire natural world is both the external (ecological environment) of human beings and the inner (homogeneous feeling) of human beings.

Therefore, the essence of Feng Shui can be used again

"Heaven and man induction" to summarize, is to peek into and use the deductive law of the five elements of yin and yang through the choice of living environment, and seek harmony between man and nature in every possible way, so as to realize the pursuit of avoiding disasters and seeking blessings and being with heaven and earth.

In this way, the application and purpose of Taoist Feng Shui can be summarized as:

"Through heaven and man" with

"Harmony between man and nature". According to Zhou Yi's acquired gossip principle, the residence can be divided into four houses in the east and west, among which the earthquake house, Xun house, leaving the house, and Kan house are the east four houses; Kun Mansion, Dui Mansion, Dry Mansion, and Gen Mansion are the four houses in the west.

At the same time, according to the different birth dates, zodiac signs and genders, people are divided into eight kinds of life hexagrams, which are Zhen life, Xun life, leaving life, Kan life, Kun life, redemption life, dry life, and Gen life.

For those who belong to Zhen, Xun, Li, and Kan, the most suitable place for them to live is the East Fourth House; And the people who belong to the fortune hexagram Kun, Dui, Qian, and Gen are most suitable for their residence in the West Fourth House.

The direction in which the gate sits depends on the direction of the gate, and when we stand in the house facing the door, the direction we are facing is

"Toward", and with

The opposite direction of "toward" is

"Sit". "Zhou Yi" believes that everything has positive and negative aspects, which grow and disappear from each other, and the opposites are unified, constituting a harmonious world.

Without the harmony of yin and yang, everything in the universe will be out of balance. Therefore, the location and site selection are also to seek the opposition and unity of yin and yang, and find the appropriate combination point.

The idea of the five elements in the Book of Changes is a core part of Feng Shui culture. Ancient Feng Shui was very good at using the principles of the Five Elements to design and layout, paying attention to the harmony of yin and yang.

"Zhou Yi Dictionaries": "One yin and one yang is the Tao." Youyun: "The vast world is matched with the world, the four times are matched by the wild, the righteousness of yin and yang is matched with the sun and the moon, and the goodness of simplicity is matched with virtue." Lao Tzu believes that taking both yin and yang into account is the way of harmony between man and nature: "All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and harmonious." This theory has a great influence on the choice of residential infrastructure.

They believe that the living environment is like the human body, with a head and arms, and the two arms are enclosed to call it safe, and the environmental safety needs to be backed by green mountains, surrounded by green mountains, and there are five shapes of metal, wood, water, fire and earth.

The mountain should be tall, the center is Xuanwu, the left side should be assisted by Qinglong Mountain, the right side has Baihu Mountain to block the wind, the south has Zhuque Mountain as the screen, and there is a river flowing through in front, so it is ideal

"Feng Shui Treasure Land", that is, the traditional one

"Pillow mountain, surrounded by water, face screen" space mode. "Kanyu Leaks" cloud: "Whoever goes to a township, first see which side the water city belongs to, the water hugs the edge and can find the land, and the water cannot go down." This means that the location of the village should be located on the concave bank of the river rather than on the convex bank, mainly because the inertial scouring force of the water flow increases the concave bank and damages the convex bank.

Starting from this theory, most of the ancient residential base sites were found in space

The natural enclosure of the "horseshoe" makes it easy to shelter from the northwest wind and accept the sun, which is conducive to survival and health.

In addition, the ancients generally agreed with the Book of Changes

At the same time, in order to better drive away evil and avoid evil, pray for blessings and auspiciousness, it also widely uses allegorical and suggestive techniques to evolve into the unique folk culture of the Chinese nation.

This is more manifested in the decoration of the houses, and there is no distinction between north, south, east and west. For example, the decoration, carving and painting of Beijing courtyard houses reflect folk customs and traditional culture everywhere.

Such as the pattern composed of bats and longevity characters, meaning

"Fushou Shuangquan", the auspicious words and sentences embedded in the door tube and the door, and the couplets attached to the eaves pillars are even more elegant and elegant, all related to praying for auspiciousness, wealth and harmony.
