Does feng shui have anything to do with fate?

There must be no connection. Ancient people were very superstitious, especially geomantic omen. They will definitely believe in Feng Shui. No matter what you do, you will ask a feng shui master to consider whether you can help them. In reality, it is true that the richer people are, the more they believe in Feng Shui, which has existed since ancient times, including farmers building houses, building roads in front of their doors, personal feelings and placing objects in their houses. But can feng shui really affect people? In China, Zhouyi and Feng Shui are almost household names. However, until today, people's comments on Zhouyi and Feng Shui are still mixed. However, their true value is little known. There are many reasons for this.

First, in terms of the accurate positioning of the evaluation object, it is because for a long time, people have mostly known Zhouyi and Feng Shui through the mysterious activities of "fortune tellers" and "Feng Shui gentlemen" using the signs of Zhouyi to defraud money, and few people have worked hard on relevant historical documents. So when it comes to Zhouyi, it is considered divination, and when it comes to Feng Shui, it is considered ignorance and superstition.

Secondly, in terms of life concept and social psychology, many people are keen on unrealistic pursuit of building houses in Yang Yin (that is, tombs) due to the influence of ignorant and superstitious social thoughts such as backward outlook on life and death and values, which has led to many negative social influences.

Thirdly, in the logical thinking of analyzing problems, people are mostly accustomed to using the primary thinking mode of binary logic of "either one or the other" to make absolute affirmation or negation, and rarely use the dialectical thinking method of multi-valued logic to discuss right and wrong in Feng Shui theory.

Fourthly, in the field of architectural education and academic research, it is because the architectural majors established in China's education sector since the 1920s are mostly based on the western architectural education system. Geomantic omen theory, which is mainly popular among builders in China, has always been regarded as a craftsman's learning, and it is difficult to be magnanimous. It is regarded as a forbidden place in architectural education and academic research, and it is difficult to obtain legal status in architectural history and theory, even in the Chinese encyclopedia "Architectural Garden City Planning".

Based on the above background, the interpretation and evaluation of the word "Feng Shui" in some tool books published in China in recent years are extremely inconsistent. For example, "Ci Hai": "Feng Shui is also called" Kanyu ". A superstition in old China. " "Ci Yuan": "Feng Shui refers to the topography and trend of the homestead or cemetery. Ancient superstition, according to which people will be lucky or unlucky. " Modern Chinese Dictionary revised edition: "Feng Shui refers to the geographical situation of residential bases and cemeteries, such as the direction of mountains and rivers. Superstitious people believe that the quality of Feng Shui can affect the rise and fall of families and future generations. " The latter explanation clearly distinguishes Feng Shui itself from people's superstitious attitude towards Feng Shui, leaving a lot of room for discussion. Actually, Feng Shui is the mysterious theory of China's architecture and geographical environment. Absolute affirmation and blind worship of Feng Shui theory will lead to superstition, which will make people deceived and suffer greatly. Absolute negation, discarding its dross, taking its essence, getting rid of superstition and awakening the people, it is difficult to get the due effect.
