Is the current theory of fortune-telling and geomantic omen superstition or China culture?

I explored it with my classmates before. Feng shui is not superstitious as long as it is not. There are feng shui books. Here is a website for you to see.

In the impression of most people, Feng Shui has always been associated with feudal superstition and dross, but now it seems that Feng Shui has been revived as a rigorous science and a precious cultural crystallization accumulated by the Chinese nation after 5,000 years of production and life struggle. Geomantic omen, China architecture and China gardening constitute the three pillars of Chinese ancient architecture theory. Is geomantic omen theory science or superstition? The reporter interviewed relevant experts on this issue.

Feng Shui has a simple scientific truth.

Sun Fengqi, director of the Landscape Research Institute of Tsinghua University Architecture Department, said that Feng Shui is not all superstition. Our ancestors have developed a set of empirical theories, which have scientific basis. Ancient geomantic theory attached great importance to the relationship between human beings, architecture and environment. Feng shui can be said to be an ancient environmental concept. He cited the example of quadrangles in Beijing. If you pay attention, you will find that people who come out of the quadrangle have rosy faces, unlike those who stay in the building for a long time and turn yellow. This is because the construction of quadrangles has scientific basis and is conducive to longevity. People who live in quadrangles can be outdoors at least half the time every day, and ventilation will become a problem for people living in buildings. Not to mention that good feng shui can make people rich, and one's health can't be guaranteed. What energy do you have to make money?

There is doubt about Feng Shui theory.

Professor Jiang, director of the Department of Science History of Shanghai Jiaotong University, believes that Feng Shui contains some scientific elements, but there are quite few scientific elements. As far as its subject is concerned, it should belong to pseudoscience At present, there are some Feng Shui books on the market, which sell well, but most of them exaggerate their scientific composition. The purpose of doing this is to make their books public. Almost all feng shui books are published in the name of inheriting traditional culture and conforming to scientific principles. The scientific elements in Feng Shui are mainly empirical knowledge, which coincides with the principles of modern science, but is strictly different from conscious scientific understanding.

Fan Dongjie, head of China Architectural Culture Exchange Center, told the reporter: We should criticize the prevailing Feng Shui style in the city and blindly follow the trend, showing a vulgarization trend. For example, the city is full of stone lions and bronze lions for good luck and prestige, which seems to be the hometown of lions, neither fish nor fowl. Also, if you set up a Roman relief column, I will set it up correctly; You do architectural sketches, and I do the same thing. What's worse, I'm afraid it will be late. Some even shoddy, follow the trend at will, spend money, not only did not enjoy the beautiful scenery, but ruined the resources and destroyed the landscape.

Professor Chen Zhihua from Tsinghua University wrote many articles to refute some Feng Shui works. He said: In my opinion, Feng Shui scholars who have returned from studying abroad regard Feng Shui as a social phenomenon and language custom academically, but in order to please the public, they will not clearly write this down on the cover. The cover of Feng Shui scholars' works, whether returned from studying abroad or locally grown, is very emotional. If you are familiar with this, you can avoid misfortune and bring you wealth, happiness and luck. The so-called scientific nature of Feng Shui has long had knowledge of modern science and technology and aesthetics such as geology, geography, structure, lighting, ventilation, composition and layout. This old custom of embracing yang and yin is harmless, but the problem is that geomantic omen often seriously distorts aesthetics, and its prevalence stifles the individuality of architecture and interferes with the use of pure language in architecture. He added another metaphor angrily: paying attention to feng shui is like a metaphor.
