The first to define feng shui in history was Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty, who said in the Book of Burial: "The bury is angry." The qi is dispersed by the wind, and the boundary water is stopped. The ancients gathered to make it not disperse, and the line made it stop, so it was called feng shui. Fan Yibin of the Qing Dynasty made a note for the "Book of Burial": "If there is no water, the wind will arrive and the air will disperse, and if there is water, the air will stop and the wind will not be, so the word feng shui is the most geological, and the place where the water is the best, and the land where the wind is hidden is secondary." That is to say, Feng Shui is an ancient technique related to vitality, and it can only be achieved when avoiding wind and gathering water.

What is anger? "Lü's Spring and Autumn - Ji Chun" cloud: "Anger is prosperous, yang is vented." "Vitality is the qi of the growth and development of all things, and it is the element that can rejuvenate vitality.

Before Guo Pu, Feng Shui was also known by other names: Xingfa. The "Han Shuyi Wenzhi" has a tangible law, which contains 20 volumes of "Palace Topography".

The Japanese scholar Takikawa Shiyan bet on this article: "It is said that the shape of feng shui includes the shape of the earth, and also includes the appearance of people and animals, which is the difference between it and the feng shui of later generations." "Kanyu.

It can be the sky, and the public opinion is the earth. Kan also has the same meaning as Kan and Kan. In the Han Dynasty, there were people who took Kanyu as their profession.

"Historical Records - The Biography of the Japanese" has Mr. Chu remembered: "When Emperor Xiaowu was in power, the party occupied the family and asked, can you take a woman one day?" The Five Elements family said yes, but the Kanyu family said no. It can be seen that Kanyu has the responsibility of choosing the right time.

"Hanshu - Art and Literature Chronicles" contains "Kanyu Golden Plaque", which is also a book of feng shui directions. In addition, there are also called feng shui as green sac, green black, phase house, geography and so on.

For the word Feng Shui, the definition of "Ci Hai" is: Feng Shui, also known as Kanyu. A superstition in old China.

It is believed that the wind direction and water flow around the residential base or cemetery can incur a blessing or misfortune for the family of the person who lives in or is buried.

It also refers to the law of the house and the tomb. In recent years, scholars have differed views on the definition of Ci Hai, with the main tendency to disagree with the equating of Feng Shui with superstition.

Yin Hongji wrote in the first issue of "Research on the History of Natural Sciences" in 1989: "Feng Shui is a landscape evaluation system for finding auspicious locations for buildings, and it is the art of geographical site selection and layout in ancient China, and it cannot be simply called superstition or science according to Western concepts.

In the preface to the book "Exploring the Sources of Feng Shui", Professor Pan Guxi pointed out: "The core content of Feng Shui is a kind of knowledge that people choose and deal with the living environment, and its scope includes residences, palaces, temples, mausoleums, villages, and cities. Among them, the one involving the mausoleum is called the Yin House, and the one involving the residence is called the Yang House".

Recently, Taiwanese scholars have mentioned again,

"Feng Shui is the relationship between the Earth's magnetic field and human beings". It seems that Feng Shui has a tendency to be raised and straightened.

When talking about the world of Feng Shui, we should not only fully understand and absorb the latest achievements of the academic community, but also adhere to a realistic attitude.

I believe that Feng Shui is a traditional cultural phenomenon, a widely circulated folk custom, a technique of choosing good fortune and avoiding evil, a kind of knowledge about the environment and people, a theory of the theory and practical system of the yin house and the yang house, and it is the accumulation of people's long-term practical experience.

From the perspective of modern scientific theories, Feng Shui is a comprehensive science integrating geophysics, hydrogeology, environmental landscape, ecological architecture, cosmic astrology, geomagnetic field orientation, meteorology and human informatics.

In the sense of modern science, ecological architecture focuses on the relationship between man and building nature, which is the same as that of Chinese feng shui

The cosmology of "the unity of man and nature" has a fundamental consistency. The so-called ecological architecture (Acologies) or architectural ecology (Acology) is based on the theory of ecology (Ecology), which studies the symbiotic relationship between natural organisms and their environment. In other words, it is a branch of ecology that explores the balanced development of life activities and functions on the earth and extends to the field of architecture, reflecting the value orientation of modern architectural thought.

According to the achievements of modern science and technology, ecological architecture should achieve a balance between energy and material flow in the process of creating artificial ecosystems based on natural ecosystems, that is, the principle of ecological balance.

The so-called energy flow, that is, energy flow, should include the balance of solar radiation, the balance of temperature, and the accumulation and conversion of wind and water energy. The material flow, that is, the material cycle, should include all natural resources, such as land resources, water resources, forest resources, etc.

Feng Shui theory holds that nature has its universal laws, ie

"The Way of Heaven", its existence and operation, is

"As the ancestor of heaven, for the dignity of gestation, if you follow it, you will be prosperous, and if you go against it, you will not" ("The Yellow Emperor's House Classic"), and

"The natural feelings of mountains and rivers, the wonder of creation, are beyond the power of man" ("Funeral Wing"); In other words, that is

"Heaven cannot get it, but do it".

"Gaigu has the skill of finding dragons, but there is no craftsman for making dragons. The merit is high and the flood will be due to the mountains and rivers" ("Guan's Geography Refers to Meng").

Man is an organic part of nature, and human ethics or code of conduct is

"Humanity" should also be with

"The way of heaven" is the same: neither can we act against the way of heaven, let alone rely on manpower to confront nature, but we can and must understand, grasp and conform to the way of heaven and use it as a model to achieve it

The supreme realm of "harmony between man and nature" meets the needs of life. It is said: "Man and heaven and earth stand side by side as three, non-heaven and earth cannot be seen, and heaven and earth cannot be praised and educated without man";

"Looking for dragons and choosing techniques, the way of heaven must depend on people" ("Guan's Geographical Guidance"); cover

"Yin and Yang change, the way of nature also, follow and die, although the mountains and rivers are weird, there is no escape" ("Funeral Wing");

"Therefore, it is not called man but heaven, and its natural trend is not violated" ("Guan's Geographical Guidance").

One of the basic behaviors of human survival is the management of the living environment, which is called

"House" is the intermediary between man and nature.

"House, choose also, choose auspicious place and camp also" ("Yellow Emperor's House Classic";

"The house is a foreign object, the square circle is made by people, there is a reason to do it, the cleanliness of the Xi Shi Shi cannot be done, and the clothes of the Xi Shi can also be done" ("The Theory of Answering the Difficult House and the Evil Rebirth");

"The husband is the hub of yin and yang, the model of humanity, and the non-naturalist sages fail to realize the Tao";

"The house is the foundation of people. People take the house as their home, and if they live in Ruo'an, their home will be Changji";

"People stand because of their houses, their houses survive because of their houses, and they help each other in their houses, and they say heaven and earth, so they can't believe in life alone" ("Liberation").

Feng Shui also plans and operates the residential environment according to the ancient Chinese cosmic schemas such as the five elements of yin and yang, the eight trigrams and the nine palaces, and represents the belief in the unity of heaven and man or the induction of heaven and man, forming the remarkable character and basic spirit of ancient Chinese architecture.

"Of course, major buildings such as imperial palaces and temples, whether they are concentrated in the city or scattered in the countryside, often show a sense of cosmic patterns, as well as symbolism as directions, solar terms, wind directions, and constellations." To sum up, contemporary ecological architecture reveals and coordinates the interrelationship between people, architecture, and the natural and social environment from the perspective of the overall organic connection.

Its means of implementation are more focused on the material conditions of contemporary science and technology, so as to realize the construction of artificial ecosystems under the natural ecosystem, and strive to achieve the optimal relationship with the specific and material exchanges between them.

Ancient Chinese Feng Shui, despite being limited by the backward scientific and material and technical means at that time, still pursued to conform to nature, and to transform and use nature in a controlled manner, and pursued the artistic conception of harmony and cooperation between man and nature.

Chinese Feng Shui can be called the ancient Chinese theory of ecological architecture.
