Why do Hong Kong people believe in Feng Shui?

Feng Shui has always been a part of Hong Kong people's life. For example, when a family member dies, Hong Kong people always want to find a piece of geomantic treasure to bury their ancestors. In addition to hoping that their ancestors can rest in peace, they also cherish the profound meaning of future generations. In daily life, the application of geomantic omen theory is more extensive, and even becomes a key for people to make decisions. When buying a house, many Hong Kong people will consider whether the house has good feng shui in addition to the price and area.

In this respect, we should not think that Hong Kong is an international metropolis, and the rich people are westernized and are not interested in China's traditional tricks. It turns out that many local rich people are more superstitious about Feng Shui than ordinary people. Whenever they do business, buy and sell stocks, and even design homes, the opinions of feng shui masters are very important.

According to Hong Kong media reports, many rich people in Hong Kong, such as Li Ka-shing, chairman of Cheung Kong Industrial Group, often hire different Feng Shui teachers to advise on different projects, such as hiring Cai Boli to look at the cemetery and Chen Bo to look at Feng Shui. As for Lee Shau Kee, chairman of Henderson Land, who ranks second in the Hong Kong rich list, he is a Taoist. His teacher is Ren Farong, chairman of the Chinese Taoist Association. Lee Shau Kee once revealed that his relationship with Ren Farong was a "mentor", and the feng shui decoration and divination suggested by the other party were "nine times out of ten", so he would adopt all the feng shui decorations suggested by the other party.

The rich of the older generation believed in Feng Shui, and so did the son of the young westernized giant Gong. Whenever there is a big business, it is not a problem to find a feng shui master to choose an auspicious day. Even when meeting business friends for dinner, Li Zekai must choose the right time.

It is understood that every time Hong Kong's richest people do a business, the funded Feng Shui master can get hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in red envelopes. When a Feng Shui master is critically ill, tycoons even go to the hospital by plane, and all expenses such as transportation expenses are paid by tycoons. Because there are only a handful of skilled feng shui masters, the supply is in short supply. At present, some maoshan taoist are also active in the Hong Kong rich circle, specializing in legal affairs and "repairing the foundation" to make money. This kind of mage usually pays after work, and charges according to the "effect" after doing something for the guest (such as changing her husband's mind).

Why do Hong Kong people believe in Feng Shui so much?

1, competitive pressure.

2. The feng shui effect is obvious.

3, cultural atmosphere.

Why do Hong Kong people believe in Feng Shui so much?

The rise of geomantic omen culture is mainly in the south, so it naturally affects the thinking of southerners.

Why do Hong Kong tycoons believe in Feng Shui so much?

After more than 100 years of colonial rule, Hong Kong is full of western culture and colors, but Hong Kong people have great faith in China's traditional geomantic numerology culture, which can even be said to be infatuated. Many people believe that Hong Kong's economic prosperity is due to good feng shui: Victoria Harbour is calm, with mountains on both sides, like a big cornucopia, from which Hong Kong's wealth comes.

What is Feng Shui? Ci Hai quoted the explanation in Guo Pu's Funeral Book in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which was "the anger of the undertaker". As the saying goes, the air is scattered by the wind, and the boundary water stops. The ancients gathered to make it, but stopped it, so it was called Feng Shui. "Guo Pu is revered as the granddaddy of Feng Shui masters, and of course this shall prevail. The American Psychological Association has a school called Ecological Psychology, which essentially explores the ancient wisdom of China, but it is only a scientific interpretation and explanation.

But in the eyes of Hong Kong people, Feng Shui is neither superstition nor science, but an authentic business culture, which has penetrated into the bones of Hong Kong people and become an indispensable part of life. Regardless of wealth, class and position, from office space, daily life and indoor furnishings to starting a company, opening a Zhang Zhixi, buying a house and decorating, Hong Kong people should pay attention to Feng Shui, and would rather ask Mr. Feng Shui to "see Feng Shui".

There is a god of wealth in the shops of Hong Kong, and there is a "seventy-two demons in the town house". It is said that this amulet is copied according to the ancient tradition of China, and there are two versions. You can take refuge to eliminate disasters and be healthy and prosperous. Shops facing the street will also put a shrine against the wall at the door, and the owner will come out to worship when he has something to do. Most companies in Hong Kong have "Tong Sheng" calendars. Bosses talk about business, the metropolis looks at the sky, and when big business opens, they even set up an altar to roast pigs and pray for the blessing of the gods and buddhas. Because Feng Shui theory is highly respected by Hong Kong people, even foreign companies in Hong Kong inevitably do as the Romans do and join the army of Feng Shui theory. For example, CLSA, a well-known foreign-funded institution in Hong Kong, publishes the "Feng Shui Index" every year from 1990 to predict the performance of Hong Kong's stock market and property market in one year at the beginning of each year.

Not only ordinary people believe in Feng Shui, but also rich people in Hong Kong enjoy it. They are all equipped with their own royal feng shui masters, who are invited to visit them regularly every month. From the decoration of the office and the layout of the home, to the economic and trade activities and the origin of Gai Lou, please come out and calculate, and choose an auspicious day to start work. After the death of Gong Ruxin, the richest woman in Asia known as Britney Spears, the first person who jumped out and claimed the right to inherit the huge fortune she left turned out to be her royal feng shui master, which somewhat reflected the popularity of feng shui masters.

Senior officials in Hong Kong also talk about Feng Shui. For example, the Hong Kong Institute of Applied Science and Technology once had a Feng Shui scandal. It is because this scientific research institution, which was originally designed to train outstanding scientific and technological talents, spent hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars and hired geomantic masters three times to pay attention to geomantic omen in office environment and relocation. In addition to unscientific academy of sciences, the police, fire department, transport department and other institutions will also seek the advice of Feng Shui. If KCRC projects were blocked in the past, they would ask Mr. Feng Shui to make a reasonable explanation from the perspective of Feng Shui.

However, if we want to talk about Feng Shui among officials, it belongs to the former Chief Executive. When he moved from the official residence of the Chief Secretary for Administration to the Government House, the first thing he did was to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to build a fish pond in koi fish (pictured below) and move his beloved koi fish to Kyubi no Youko for breeding to stop the official brake. According to feng shui master's analysis, these carp helped * * * jump into the Longmen all the way, which contributed greatly. The fish ponds in the Governor's Mansion have been prosperous.

There is also politics in Feng Shui. Where there are people, there are Jianghu and political infighting. One of the most famous "Feng Shui Wars" in Hong Kong is the "battle" between HSBC and Bank of China Tower.

HSBC is located in the "Dragon Cave" at the foot of Tuiqi Mountain in Hong Kong. Because the hillside looks like a drooping horse's head, drinking the water from Victoria Harbour was once regarded by Feng Shui masters as a "Tianma drinking point" to help improve fortune. In order to prevent new buildings in front of the building from damaging this drinking hole, HSBC bought the whole piece of land in front of it up to the ferry pier in Hong Kong, developed it into a park, and named it "Queen's Garden" to maintain its feng shui advantage.

Before the Bank of China entered Hongkong, the benefits of HSBC had been very good. Just as the performance was in full swing, China Bank with China background broke into Hongkong and built the Bank of China Building next to it.

China Bank Building was designed by architect I.M. Pei. The whole building is 300 meters high, with a big bottom and a small top. With the increasing concept of bamboo image, I.M. Pei's works are full of poetry. ......

Why do Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong believe in Feng Shui, but the mainland doesn't believe in anything?

China is an atheist country. Most people accept atheism education, despise religious belief, regard religious belief as superstition, and have no common cohesion and binding force in the spiritual field. Most people who insist that they are atheists are essentially pantheists. In China, ghost worship is very common.

The richest people believe in Feng Shui. Why?

In fact, before they became rich, most people didn't believe in Feng Shui. At that time they only believed in themselves. However, in the continuous growth, they gradually surpass their peers in some aspects (thoughts, vision, values ...), and fewer and fewer people can communicate with them. Finally, they struggled alone at the top. This feeling of "unattainable" aggravated their loneliness. After all, people are emotional animals. No matter how deep the feelings are hidden, the ultimate soul will eventually have a home. If they trust others, they won't succeed at all, so they always keep the habit of trusting only themselves, because they won't betray themselves. But it is lonely to be trusted only by themselves, so they choose Feng Shui and pin their feelings on Feng Shui to create a sense of "dependence".

Why do high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen believe in Feng Shui, but tell the people about Feng Shui?

In modern times, it seems that no high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen come out to tell the people not to believe in Feng Shui! It's just that some books say not to believe in superstition. True feng shui has nothing to do with superstition. Feng Shui is the law of nature! Of course, many people will mix some superstitious things to show people Feng Shui. Does not mean that Feng Shui is superstition!

Why are people in Hong Kong, Macao and Guangdong so superstitious about Feng Shui?

Custom.

Practicality, convenience, comfort, safety, hygiene and beauty are good feng shui. These standards are practical and easy to master. Consistent with the above viewpoint, feng shui is interpreted positively; Contrary to the above view, Feng Shui is negatively interpreted. Modern residential areas are designed and built according to this concept, and can only be evaluated according to this concept.

How to buy a house is based on everyone's heart. The most important sign of heart orientation is "like". Everyone likes different things. Love is good feng shui. I don't like it. I feel depressed and even uncomfortable wherever I go. No matter how good this place is, it is also a good place for others, not the good feng shui that the parties need.

What is the best feng shui? -The best feng shui is mental balance; No greed, no desire, no luxury and no desire is good feng shui.

Does raising children have anything to do with feng shui? -raising children must be related to feng shui. The subjective condition of geomantic omen is the ideological basis of human beings; The objective condition of geomantic omen is the surrounding environment. The two complement each other and will definitely affect children's physical and mental growth.

Feng shui is the right choice for living terrain. The conclusion I have drawn from hundreds of sites is that most of them have the characteristics of geomantic omen, regulating qi and compass, which obviously should have a certain cultural meaning of compass, but it is basically a one-vote veto, limited by the terrain, leaving no continuous population. The example I found in reality is that the terrain is illegal and the use of Feng Shui compass is like a child's play, which is meaningless. That's why I said, "Practical, convenient, comfortable, safe, hygienic and beautiful is good feng shui. What is Feng Shui? It is more beneficial to think from a scientific perspective. " In the past, it was impossible to build houses in many areas. Now there are steel bars, cement, glass, running water, electricity and gas, which can be built and built. High-quality building materials overcome the limitation of inferior terrain. Wood, mud, paper window, carrying water, thatch, loose fire and steel bar, cement, glass wall, tap water, electricity and gas are definitely two geomantic meanings, which also represent the progress of the times. Science has brought unprecedented new horizons to mankind. In the era of wood, mud, plastering windows, carrying water and hanging water, thatching and relaxing fire, we can only choose low-lying areas with lee and sun, and houses can only be short. Low-lying and low-rise buildings have a basic defect: dark and damp, poor ventilation, poor drying efficiency and poor air quality, which are prone to mildew and pathological changes. Steel bars, cement, glass walls, tap water, electricity and gas are all likely to make buildings move upwards, and tall buildings are all possible, which are obviously bright and have good ventilation and drying efficiency. For example, because of the limitation of building materials, the platform-like high-rise area was not suitable for building in the past, but now it has the advantages of building materials, which can not only build houses, but also be superior to depressions in some aspects, such as brightness, air circulation and waterproof efficiency, which is more conducive to people's physical and mental health.

The quality of a city's geomantic omen does not depend on the natural geomantic omen in a narrow area, but on the basis of the overall natural geomantic omen, which dominates the city's political geomantic omen, economic geomantic omen and human geomantic omen. And * * * is the most typical political feng shui feature. For example, in the 1980s, there was a town across the river. Due to the existence of * * * institutions, there are few commercial outlets, and there are more than a dozen shops on the other side of the river that are the largest in the local area, forming a small and lively market. Due to various reasons, township-level institutions moved to other places, where there was a "sudden cooling" immediately. In less than three months, more than a dozen of the largest stores can't keep going, and the three small shops left are just a stall, without the prosperity of the past. A small township * * * has no independent financial function foundation, but it can bring such a huge feng shui effect contrast, not to mention a larger * * * institution with independent decision-making function and financial function, and its influence feng shui effect can be imagined to be even greater. It can also be inferred from this example that the geomantic omen of a city is determined by political geomantic omen, economic geomantic omen and humanistic geomantic omen formed on the basis of natural geomantic omen. The close combination of political geography geomantic omen, economic geography geomantic omen, human geography geomantic omen and natural geography geomantic omen is a complete geomantic omen.

Cities have obviously got rid of human dependence on natural geography and geomantic omen on a larger scale. Developed traffic, the sky, underground and ground are densely covered with roads like cobwebs, which have reached the point of omnipotence, forming a network-based traffic convenience, without the restriction of relying on and using pure water as in ancient times. The realization of tap water has completely overcome the fact that weeds make a living. The realization of electricity and gas has been overcome. ......
