What is Feng Shui Theory? In fact, it is a natural science that integrates various disciplines such as geography, geology, astrology, meteorology, landscape, architecture, ecology and human life information.

Its purpose is to carefully investigate and understand the natural environment, conform to nature, use and transform nature in a controlled manner, create a good living and living environment, win the best time, place and people, and achieve the perfect state of unity between nature and man.

It is based on this pursuit that in the long-term development of Feng Shui theory and its practice, we have accumulated rich practical experience, and through theoretical thinking, we have absorbed and integrated many wisdoms in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign sciences, philosophy, aesthetics, ethics, religion, folklore, etc., and finally formed a unique theoretical system with rich connotation, comprehensive and systematic - modern Feng Shui.

In summary, there are ten principles. The Principle of Integral SystemsThe theory of integral systems, as a complete science, was produced in this century; As a naïve method, Chinese sages began to use it very early.

Feng Shui theory ideas treat the environment as a whole system, which is centered on people and includes all things in heaven and earth.

Each subsystem in the environment is an element that is interconnected, mutually restrictive, interdependent, mutually antagonistic, and mutually transformative.

The function of Feng Shui is to grasp and coordinate the relationship between various systems at a macro level, optimize the structure, and seek the best combination.

The principle of wholeness is the general principle of Feng Shui, and other principles are subordinate to the principle of wholeness, and the relationship between man and the environment is handled by the principle of wholeness, which is the basic point of modern Feng Shui.

The principle of adapting to local conditions means adapting to local conditions, that is, adopting a lifestyle suitable for nature according to the objectivity of the environment.

"Zhou Yi Da Zhuang Hexagram" proposed: "Fit the form and stop". In the pre-Qin period, Jiang Taigong advocated adapting measures to local conditions, and the "Historical Records of the Colony Biography" recorded: "Taigong Wangfeng was sealed in Yingqiu, the land was salted, and the people were outnumbered, so Taigong persuaded his female merit, extreme skills, and fishing salt." "China is a vast country, with very different climates, different soil qualities, and different architectural forms.

The northwest is dry and rainless, so people take cave-dwelling caves to live. The cave position is mostly facing south, the construction is simple, does not occupy the land, saves materials, fireproof and cold, warm in winter and cool in summer, people can live longer, and chickens lay more eggs.

The southwest is humid and rainy, and there are many insects and beasts, so people take dry bamboo buildings to live. "The Old Tang Dynasty Book of the Southern Barbarians" said: "The mountain is poisonous with weeds, lice belly snakes, people live side by side, climb the ladder and go up, and the number is dry and bad." "The downstairs is empty or there are livestock, and the upstairs is lived.

The bamboo buildings are air-circulating, cool and moisture-proof, and most of them are built in places near mountains and rivers. In addition, the herders of the steppe use yurts as their dwellings, which are convenient for migrating with the water and grasses.

The people of Guizhou and Dali used mountain stones to build houses, and these architectural forms were founded according to the specific local conditions at that time.

Many of the existing buildings in China are models of adaptation to local conditions. Wudang Mountain in Hubei is a famous Taoist scenic spot, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di originally sent 300,000 people to the mountain to repair the temple, and ordered not to split the mountain to rebuild, only allowed to build walls and treasure halls with the terrain.

China is a pragmatic country, and adapting measures to local conditions is the embodiment of pragmatic thinking. According to the actual situation, take practical and effective methods to make people and buildings suitable for nature, return to nature, return to simplicity, and unite nature and man, which is the true meaning of Feng Shui.

The principle of being close to the mountains and rivers is one of the most basic principles of Feng Shui. Mountains are the skeleton of the earth, and waters are the source of vitality for all things.

Almost all of the primitive tribes found in archaeology are on riverside terraces, which is compatible with the hunting and fishing, gathering economy at that time.

There are two types of situations in the mountains, one is

"Tubao house", that is, surrounded by mountains on three sides, in the middle of the Austria, the south side is open, and the houses are hidden in the ten thousand trees.

Zhang Guying Village, Wei Township, Yueyang County, Hunan Province, is in such a terrain. The remaining veins of the five hundred miles of Mufu Mountain stretch here, and three big peaks protrude in the northeast and west directions, such as three petals embracing a lotus flower.

During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Guying came to settle here, and in the past 500 years, more than 600 households and more than 3,000 people have developed a great family, and more than 800 houses in the whole village are colluded with each other, men, women, old and young are respectful and orderly, and live a peaceful and peaceful life.

Another form of Yishan is

"House Bag Mountain", that is, a group of houses covering the hillside, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. The wharf towns along the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River are like this, combing the hillside with their backs and climbing the stairs, and their grandeur is high.

Wuhan University, which has a history of nearly 100 years, is located at the foot of the verdant Luojia Mountain, and the designer has fully considered the specific feng shui, building houses on the mountainside, and the student dormitory is attached to the hillside, like a curved city wall, with a gate-shaped entrance.

On the face platform, the Zhongkong City Gate Hole is the axis, the library is in the center, and the teaching buildings are separated on both sides. Master and slave are orderly, rigorous and symmetrical.

The school has a natural momentum and a castle strength, which shows the grandeur of a higher education institution. Nanjing, the former capital of the Six Dynasties, is adjacent to the Yangtze River, surrounded by mountains, and has the potential of a tiger standing on the dragon plate.

There are Qinhuai River and Renjiang River on its four sides, and there are many mountains and rocks along the river, and there are Stone Mountain, Ma'an Mountain, and Shogunate Mountain from southwest to northeast; There is Zhongshan Mountain in the east; There is Fugui Mountain in the west; In the south, there are Egret Continent and Changming Continent to form the Jiajiang River.

Gao Qiyou of the Ming Dynasty praised and said: "Zhongshan is like a dragon going to the west alone, wanting to break the huge waves and ride the long wind." The country does not give in to each other, and the shape wins and praises the world. The "Ten Books of Yang Zhai" of the Qing Dynasty pointed out: "The dwelling place of people should be dominated by mountains and rivers, which have the greatest pulse and are the most important related to man-made disasters." "Feng Shui attaches great importance to the topography of the mountain, and puts the small environment on the large environment for environmental inspection.

In China's geographical situation, there is a large latitudinal structure every 8 degrees or so, such as the latitudinal structure of the Tianshan Mountains; The zonal structure of the Qinling Mountains in the Kunlun Mountains.

"Examination of the Work" cloud

"The trend of the world, there must be a river between the two mountains. There must be a way on the river. "Yu Gong" divides the Chinese mountains into four columns and nine mountains.

Feng Shui refers to the stretches of mountains as dragon veins. The dragon vein originates from the Kunlun Mountain in the northwest, extends three dragon veins to the southeast, and the northern dragon enters Shanxi from Yin Mountain and Helan Mountain, starts from Taiyuan, and crosses the sea to stop.

Zhonglong enters the pass from Minshan to the sea of people in Mount Tai. Nanlong enters the sea from Yunnan-Guizhou and Hunan to Fujian and Zhejiang.

Each big dragon vein has a dry dragon, a branch dragon, a real dragon, a fake dragon, a flying dragon, a hidden dragon, a flash dragon, and a feng shui survey must first figure out the ins and outs and follow the direction of the dragon vein.

The shape and potential of the dragon vein are different, thousands of feet are potential, 100 feet are shapes, potential is a distant view, and the shape is a close view. Potential is the worship of form, and form is the product of potential.

There is potential and then there is form, there is form and then there is potential, the potential is outside, and the form is inside. It is like a city wall, and it resembles a building.

It is an undulating group of peaks, and the shape is a single mountain. It is difficult to recognize the situation, but it is easy to observe the form. The potential is the dragon, if the horse gallops, if the waves of the water, want it to be big and strong, different and specialized, and smooth.

The shape should be thick, accumulating, and storing gas. It is better to have a mountain of the case at the gathering place of the dragon vein. Chaoshan Case Mountain is a mountain similar to the shape of the arch and the case, just like the courtiers surrounding the monarch.

The mountain of the case can block the wind and is very interesting. For example, "Zhu Zi's Language" discusses the general environment of Beijing: "The Jidu Mountains come from the clouds, the front is surrounded by the Yellow River, Mount Tai towers on the left for the dragon, Mount Huashan towers on the right for the tiger, Gao is the former case, the Huainan Mountains is the second case, and the Jiangnan Wuling is the third case. This is based on the city of Beijing and the mountains of the whole country as a case to illustrate the advantages of Beijing's geographical environment.

By observing the small environment from the larger environment, we can know the external constraints and influences of the small environment, such as water sources, climate, products, geology, etc.

The good luck and evil of any piece of homestead are determined by the general environment, just like the pulse cut in traditional Chinese medicine, from the pulse of the flood and thin strings, tight and slippery, sinking and slow, you can know the general condition of the body, because this is determined by the cardiovascular function.

A homestead is perfect only if the situation is perfect. Every time you build a city, every building you build, and every time you build a factory, you should first consider the overall environment of the mountains and rivers.

Focus on the big picture, start small, you must take care of the worries first, and then the rich is big. Principles of geological inspectionFeng Shui thought is very particular about geology, even picky, believing that geology determines human physique, and modern science proves that this is not alarmist.

The impact of geology on the human body has at least the following four aspects: First, the soil contains trace elements such as zinc, platinum, selenium, fluorine, etc., which are radiated into the air under photosynthesis and directly affect human health.

The king of the Ming Dynasty said in "Ear Talk": "Hengzhi Changning came to Yang to produce tin, and the local people said to the cloud: where the tin production place is not suitable for reproduction, so people will be poor and migrate." The "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which is more than 1,000 years earlier than the "Ear Talk", also records a lot of the relationship between geology and the body, especially the plants grown by specific geology, which have an impact on the body shape, physique, and fertility of the human body.

Second, damp or smelly geology can lead to arthritis, rheumatic heart disease, skin diseases, etc.

Damp and rotten land is a natural breeding base for bacteria and the root cause of various diseases, so it is not suitable to build a house.

Third, it is the influence of the earth's magnetic field. The Earth is a planet surrounded by magnetic fields, and people do not feel its presence, but it acts on people all the time.

A strong magnetic field can heal or hurt people, and even cause dizziness, drowsiness, or nervous breakdowns.

The Chinese ancestors knew about the magnetic field very early. The number of clouds: "Those who have magnets on them have copper and gold below." "During the Warring States Period, there was Sinan, and the Song Dynasty had a common use of the compass, all of which used geomagnetism scientifically.

Feng Shui thought advocates conforming to the geomagnetic orientation. Yang Yunsong pointed out in the "Twelve Rods Method": "The real chong is unbearable, and the spirit follows on the two (inch) side." According to the vein, it is slightly two or three feet away, and the cane is the most refined in the law. "This means that you have to avoid the very strong geomagnetic field a little bit in order to get the auspicious point.

Feng Shui masters often say that boulders and sharp corners are bad for doors and windows, but they are actually worried about the interference of the strong magnetism emitted by the boulders to the residents in the doors and windows.

The fourth is the harmful wave effect. If there is an underground river below 3 meters above the ground of the house, or there is a double-layer crossed river, or there are potholes, or there are complex geological structures, it may emit long vibration waves or pollute radiation or particle flows, causing headaches, dizziness, endocrine disorders and other symptoms.

In the old days, Feng Shui masters knew what they were and did not know why, and they could not be explained by scientific principles, so they consciously or unconsciously took measures to avoid or mystify them in practice.

Some feng shui masters come to the scene in person, grind with their hands, taste the soil with their mouths, even dig wells to inspect the deep soil quality and water quality, and lean over to listen to the flow direction and sound of groundwater.

How do the principles of water analysis identify water quality? Pipe. Dizhen believes that the quality of the soil determines the quality of the water, and the quality of the water is judged from the color of the water, the water is white and sweet, the water is yellow and smells, and the water is black and bitter.

Feng Shui Sutra "Boshan Chapter" advocates

"Looking for the dragon to recognize the qi, recognize the qi and taste the water. Its color is blue, its sweetness, its color is fragrant, and the Lord is noble. Its color is white, its ambiguity is clear, its ambiguity is warm, and the Lord is noble. Its color is light, its bitterness, its spirit, and the lord is noble. Bitter and sour, if it is steamed bread, it is not enough. "Kanyu Manxing" on the good and evil clouds of water: "Qinglian is sweet and delicious, which is called the long dragon vein of Xiquan." Spring is not full and autumn is not dry, so it is best to find a good collection here. "Water in different regions contains different trace elements and chemicals, some of which can cause disease and some can cure disease.

There is a mountain spring at the foot of the elephant trunk mountain in Taishun Chengtian in Zhejiang Province, the spring water is continuous all year round, steaming, the local people are sick and go to the spring water to soak, it is more effective than taking medicine.

Later, it was found that the spring water contained a large amount of radioactive nitrogen. The Classic of Mountains and Seas. The West Mountain Classic records that there is irrigation next to Shibrittle Mountain,

"Among them is flowing ochre, so that cattle and horses are disease-free." Tengchong County, Yunnan Province has one

The water is crystal clear, but lifeless, and ducks and birds die as soon as they reach the spring.

Scientists have found that the spring water contains a large amount of cyanide acid and hydrogen chloride, which are huge poisons that kill living things.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" depicts that the soldiers of Shu went deep into the wilderness, accidentally drank poisonous springs, and suffered heavy casualties, which may be related to this poisonous spring.

It is not advisable to build a village near such a water source. The vast majority of China's spring water has development value, Jinan, Shandong Province is called the spring water city, Fujian Province found 1590 mineral water points, ranking the most among all provinces in the country, including 865 mineral water for medical treatment and drinking.

Guangxi Fenghuang Mountain has eye milk spring, spring milk spring like juice, use it to make tea, tea does not taste for a week.

At the foot of Jiufeng Ridge, Fuxi Rixiang, Yongfeng County, Jiangxi Province, there is a one-square-meter taste spring, and the spring water is like a fresh beer, which is sour, bitter, and sweet.

Since the spring water is filtered through underground ores, it often contains minerals such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, and sparseness, and it is undoubtedly beneficial to health by taking it orally, rinsing, and bathing.

Feng Shui theory advocates investigating the ins and outs of water, analyzing water quality, controlling water flow, and optimizing the water environment, which is worthy of in-depth study and promotion.

China is located in the northern hemisphere of the earth, in the east of Eurasia, and most of the land is located north of the Tropic of Cancer (23 degrees 26 degrees north latitude), and the sun shines from the south all year round.

The south-facing houses make it easy to take in the sun. Sunlight has many benefits for people: first, it can be used for heating, and in winter, the temperature in the south is 1 to 2 degrees higher than in the north; Second, it participates in the synthesis of vitamin D in the human body, and children can often be exposed to the sun to prevent rickets; Third, the ultraviolet rays in the sunlight have a bactericidal effect, especially for diseases transmitted through the respiratory tract; Fourth, it can enhance the body's immune function.

Sitting north and facing south, not only for lighting, but also for shelter from the wind. China's topography determines that its climate is monsoon.

There is a cold snap in Siberia in winter and a cool breeze from the Pacific Ocean in summer, and the wind direction changes throughout the year.

There is a record of wind measurement in oracle bones. Historical Records. The Book of Laws clouds: "Not Zhou Feng lives in the northwest, and October is also." Guang Mo Feng lives in the north, November also. The wind lives in the northeast in the first month also. Mingshu wind lives in the east, February also. "There is a difference between yin and yang.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, He Guangting said in "Correction of Geoscience": "Pingyang Yuan is not afraid of wind, but there is a difference between yin and yang, and it is okay to receive warm wind, warm wind, and yang wind to the east and south." To the west and north, the cold wind, the cold wind, the so-called yin wind, should be covered by a close case, otherwise the wind blows the bones and cold, and the main road is decayed and sparse. "It's all about avoiding the northwest wind.

Feng Shui uses the following methods to represent directions: First, the five elements of wood are east, fire is south, metal is west, water is north, and earth is the middle.

Second, the separation of the gossip is the south, the kan is the north, the earthquake is the east, and the exchange is the west. Third, the A and B of the dry branch are the east, the C Ding is the south, the Gengxin is the west, and the non-dee is the north.

The son of the earthly branch is the north, and the noon is the south. Fourth, the east is the dragon, the west is the white tiger, the south is the red bird, and the north is the Xuanwu.

Or called: "Left green dragon, right white tiger, front Vermilion Bird, back Xuanwu." Wu Xingzhi. Talking about the layout of the cave code Xingjunzhi: the hall is in the center, and the door is in front of it.

"Bian Cang" hugged him,

"Breeze"

"Meeting"

"The sales office winds on the left, and there is a green dragon elephant."

The first floor of "Bright Moon" stands alone in the southwest, which is the shape of the tiger dwelling, and the Yin and Yang family said. In short, the principle of sitting in the north and facing south is to have a correct understanding of natural phenomena, conform to the way of heaven, obtain the aura of mountains and rivers, receive the brilliance of the sun and the moon, nourish the body, cultivate sentiments, and make the earth spirit outstanding.

The principle of moderation is moderate, that is, it is just right, impartial, not too big, not too small, not high or low, as optimized as possible, close to perfection.

"Guan's Geography Refers to Meng" cloud: "I want it to be high but not dangerous, I want it to be low but not no, I want it to be obvious but not exposed, I want it to be quiet but not dumb, I want it to be strange but not strange, and I want it to be clever but not inferior." "The principle of moderate Feng Shui was produced as early as the pre-Qin period.

The moderation advocated in the Analects is to choose the best way to deal with things in order to conform to the right path.

Lü's Spring and Autumn. "Heavy Already" pointed out: "If the room is large, there will be more yin, if the platform is high, there will be more yang, and if there is more yin, and if there is more yang, this yin and yang will be uncomfortable." "The balance of yin and yang is moderation.

Feng Shui theory advocates that mountains, water flows, and directions should be coordinated with the cave ground, and the size and size of the house should also be coordinated.

Wu Caiding, a Qing dynasty man, pointed out in the "Summary of Yang Mansion": "All Yang houses must have a square foundation, neat shelves, shrinking in the east and west, and determining the loss of Ding Cai." "The other layer of moderation means centering, why didn't the capitals of China's dynasties choose Guangzhou, Shanghai, Kunming, and Harbin?

Because the location is too remote. There is a record in the volume of "Taiping Yulan": "The king ordered the founding of the country, and the capital must be located in the middle earth, so the sum of the world, according to the righteousness of yin and yang, all unify the four directions, in order to control all nations." "The reason why Luoyang has become the former capital of the Nine Dynasties is that it is among the world.

The differential rent price is based on the degree of centering. Banks and shopping malls are only most profitable in the downtown area.

The principle of moderation also requires a prominent center, a neat layout, and additional facilities tightly around the axis. In a typical feng shui landscape, there is a central axis that runs parallel to the earth's meridians and runs north and south.

The northern end of the central axis is best a horizontal mountain range forming a T-shaped combination, and the southern end is best to have a spacious myeongdo (plain), and the east and west sides of the central axis are clustered with buildings and a curved river.

The imperial tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the gardens of the Qing Dynasty were built according to this principle. The task of feng shui scholars is to provide some useful advice to the people concerned, so that the feng shui pattern of urban and rural areas is more reasonable, and more beneficial to the health and longevity of the people and economic development.
