The next morning, after breakfast, Dianhua came to the library early and began to read books related to feng shui fortune-telling as planned.

I don't know if it's his delusion, but I always feel that today's Qi Mansion seems to be filled with an atmosphere of anxiety and anxiety, and even Qinghe is faintly in a trance and is not in a state.

Dian Hua, who went to bed early last night and had a good quality of sleep, naturally did not hear the sound of the eagle, even if he heard the sound of the eagle when he was awake, he didn't know what was going on.

There are not many people in the Qi Mansion who know what the Eagle Bird means, but the people who know it are all the masters or servants in the mansion, and the upper ones are anxious, and the subordinates and slaves will naturally be affected and feel uneasy.

The anxious atmosphere of Qi Mansion was created in this way, slowly and imperceptibly, in just one morning.

The atmosphere of the Qi Mansion represents the atmosphere of the owners of the Qi Mansion. ’

'Is it a few masters of the Qi Mansion who are anxious?'

Dian Hua's heart to leave the Qi Mansion became even more urgent.

No matter how urgent it is, you can skip reading other books, and you still have to read books like feng shui fortune telling, which is a major event related to his enlightenment.

Dian Hua already had experience, and soon found books on such theories as the history of the evolution of Feng Shui.

"Feng Shui Theory", by Qi Hong. The formation and evolution of the art of Feng Shui. ”

It seems that this Qi Hong is an expert and scholar in the theory of evolution in the Jishui Qi clan!"

'Since it's the work of experts and scholars, so be it!'

Choosing the borrowed books, Dianhua read them carefully.

is the same as the format of "The Theory of Martial Arts", and the common words are the same, which makes Dianhua read much smoother, and after reading it, I have a certain understanding of the "feng shui" of this world.

When it comes to Feng Shui, we have to mention Taoist priests.

What is the origin of the Taoist priest?

In the words of Dianhua, the Taoist priest was a branch of the scholar clan during the slave society.

The slave society was divided into three classes, the princes and nobles, the nobles, and the slaves.

The nobles were an elite class that served the nobles of the princes.

The scholars were divided into two categories: warriors and scribes, and warriors included: swordsmen, archers, spearmen, knights, guards, and so on.

Scribes were divided into auxiliary scholars, arithmetic, scribes, stewards, and so on.

Some special scholars can be classified as warriors and scribes at the same time because of their special work.

Taoist priests are such a special family of scholars who are both warriors and scribes.

The place of work of the Taoist priest is the Taoist temple, which is generally built on a hill near the river near the town.

The Taoist temple is similar to the beacon tower, and the work of the Taoist priest is similar to the soldiers stationed in the beacon tower for a long time.

It's just that the Taoist temple is different from the beacon tower, and the Taoist temple does not war, but the mountain fires and rivers bursting their banks.

Since ancient times, fire and water are ruthless, and the princes and nobles of the slave society also attach great importance to these, and even set up a special branch of Taoist priests to serve them and warn of mountain fires and floods.

The scholars of the slave society are all family inheritance, so the Taoist priests in the early and middle stages of the slave society have been continuously inherited in the Taoist family and have never been broken.

Scribes and other scholars were literate, and most of them liked to constantly record the experience and wisdom of life and work, so as to increase the heritage of the family. Therefore, the family inheritance of the scholars who hold different functions is also distinctive, and the professionalism is very strong.

As the slave society reached the middle stage and the slave civilization reached its peak, Taoist priests everywhere were constantly reminded of the fire and flood outbreak in the mountains and forests for thousands of years, and were constantly deified by ignorant slaves, and had the symbolic meaning of deification such as the deification of the house to drive away evil spirits and fire prevention and waterproofing.

With the continuous development of the territories of the princes, the number of slaves continued to increase, and the status of slaves also continued to improve, and serfs, artisan slaves and other slaves who could live in their own private homes appeared.

When some slaves were building a dwelling that was very important to them, they would invite a deified Taoist priest to come and ask where it was suitable to build a dwelling and how it should be built, so that the dwelling would be peaceful and not go to water.

And if there is a problem with someone who has not invited a Taoist priest, they will ask a Taoist priest to come and see where the problem has occurred, so as to correct it and prevent these problems from occurring.

In this way, the Taoist priest imperceptibly has the function of "looking at feng shui".

The scholar clan has no fiefdom, only the inheritance of positions and the corresponding inheritance of knowledge, and is an elite class with a very heavy sense of responsibility.

The characteristics of the scholar clan inherited by the post mean that the expansion of the scope of the job is the expansion of power, and the increase of family heritage, similar to the expansion of aristocratic fiefdoms, and no scholar will not like it.

Therefore, when Taoist priests are given new functions, they do not think about shirking, but about how to do it. In order to be competent for this function, Taoist priests began to branch out the feng shui techniques related to residential buildings, urban construction, etc., from the experience of watching mountains and rivers inherited from their families.

Qi Hong finally concluded: Feng Shui is not mysterious, it is only according to the local climate, geography and human environment, the layout of the house is reasonably planned, and the effective prevention and avoidance of the house is prone to disease, easy to walk and so on.

"According to Mr. Qi Hong, Feng Shui is the early geography and architecture?"

If you exclude the supernatural powers, it makes sense.

After Dian Hua returned the "Feng Shui Treatise", he borrowed Qi Hong's "Fortune Tending" again.

Fortune-telling is the second deified function that people have given to Taoist priests after Feng Shui.

Slaves are so ignorant that they think that the Taoist priest can see whether the fate of the house is good or not, and can modify the fate of the house, and he can see whether the fate of the person is good or not, and he can modify the fate of the person.

So when people encounter a turn of fate or confusion, they will think of Taoist priests and go to Taoist temples to seek advice from Taoist priests.

There are many people who think this way, and there are many people who do this, and Taoist priests are naturally given the second deified function by people, fortune telling.

In order to be competent for this newly added function, the Taoist priest specially extracted and sorted out the relevant records about people from the feng shui technique inherited by the family, and then summed up the corresponding several rules, and then continued to accumulate experience in the process of fortune-telling, and slowly the fortune-telling technique took shape, becoming the second inheritance and function of the Taoist priest with the color of deification.

"In other words, fortune telling is an early stage of sociology and psychology?"

Qi Hong sighed at the end: "Unlike the princes, the Taoist family that has been fighting against mountain fires and floods knows the dangers of nature and the insignificance of human beings, and most of them have an extremely broad mind, will not cherish themselves, and are willing to exchange and learn from other Taoist families in terms of family inheritance." ”

As a result, the Taoist temple gradually became a family academy where the children of other Taoist families came to learn and communicate. ”

"After the Taoist temple was transformed into the function of the academy, the Taoist priest has grown rapidly, whether it is martial arts, feng shui, fortune-telling or its special cultural inheritance, unified Taoist terminology, unified Taoist system, Taoist name, Taoist number, etc., were born in this period. ”

"Now the great families are afraid of the 'Taoist priests in the world, and the Taoist temples in all places are the same. Such beliefs were also established during this period. ”
