Are Zhouyi Bagua and Feng Shui superstitions?

Zhouyi Bagua and Feng Shui are not superstitions, but belong to metaphysics.

The source of Zhouyi Bagua: It is said that it is the theory of Yin and Yang of ancient Han nationality. The so-called "Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments (namely Yin and Yang), and the second instrument gives birth to four images (namely Shaoyang, Sun, Shaoyin and Taiyin), and the four images are eight diagrams and eight eight eight eight six hexagrams". This is Fuxi Bagua, also known as innate gossip. According to these four images, the ancient physicians in China divided the Yin and Yang Qi of the human body, and analyzed the personality types of people according to their physiological characteristics and appearance.

Geomantic omen is one of the five physiognomies, that is, the method of looking at geography on the spot, which is called geomantic omen. In ancient times, it was called Feng Shui, with the purpose of choosing methods and principles such as palace, village site selection and cemetery construction. The original intention is a knowledge of choosing the right place.

Extended data:

Theoretical basis:

1, "geomantic omen" began with some people choosing the residence and methods suitable for their livelihood, and gradually entered the hands of alchemists, adding the theory of Yin and Yang, the gossip of nature and nurture, the Book of Changes, the river map, Luo Shu and so on. And then make feng shui academic.

2. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, these geomantic alchemists entered the palace, and from then on, geomantic omen gradually became orthodox and recognized. [3] During the Tang Dynasty, it became exclusive to the royal family and was forbidden to be used by the people. At this time, folk feng shui became a private form, because the royal family thought that whoever discovered the dragon cave could be called the emperor.

3. Simply put, the theory of geomantic omen is mainly based on the theory of the rise and fall of Yin and Yang, with the help of heaven (universe, sun, etc.). ) and the earth (earth, geographical environment) and people (where people live and bury) and time (the rise and fall of heaven and earth, the birth and death of everything).
