What is the essential relationship between Feng Shui and Yijing?

The Book of Changes is an applied art that expounds the relationship between man and nature. The universe in the sky presents the phenomena of sun, moon, stars, day and night, and seasonal climate. Various forms such as mountains, rivers, animals and plants are formed on the ground, and the changes are complicated. Under the traction of yin and yang, the law of dynamic and static changes of the universe is interpreted, which is firm when moving and soft when static.

Feng Shui, however, is the application of the Book of Changes in orientation and a guide to people's life and behavior. Yin and Yang are the core of the Book of Changes and the key to Feng Shui. In feng shui, we must first solve the problem of yin and yang field. In some previous Feng Shui festivals, it was said that the door, the main body and the kitchen were important. The door refers to the master bedroom and kitchen of the house. In fact, the layout of yin and yang is fundamental.

I ching established a "gossip" system. Gossip can be divided into innate gossip and acquired gossip. Liu Heng's note on innate gossip is a theoretical dialectics, which talks about the origin of gossip, and the acquired gossip is a theoretical application. The division of gossip and eight parties involves the concrete application of gossip theory. Innate gossip is closely related to the dialectics of social "six parents" and the theoretical construction of Master Yuan, while the acquired gossip is related to the material world. The concrete construction of the theoretical system of geomantic omen in Yin Zhai Yang Zhai can be said that the Book of Changes is the theoretical source of geomantic omen, and geomantic omen is the concrete application of the Book of Changes.

Feng Shui is divided into two parts: "Luan Tou" Feng Shui and "Li Qi" Feng Shui. Among them, Luan Tou Feng Shui reshaped the geographical situation of mountains and rivers, while Li Qi paid attention to Yuan Yun in the fleeting time and the changes of Yun Qi's five elements. Luan Tou Feng Shui is the foundation, the carrier and the principle of Qi. Regulating qi and feng shui is the end, that is, attracting the head. The most famous Feng Shui of Luantou is Jinsuo Yuguan Feng Shui, and the most famous scholars are Bazhai Feng Shui, Huangji Feng Shui and Kong Xuan Feng Shui.

The Book of Changes is the head of the group classics, which generally include four books: Daxue, The Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius and Mencius. The construction of the Five Classics, including The Book of Songs, Shangshu, Book of Rites, The Book of Changes, The Spring and Autumn Annals, and The Four Books and Five Classics, cannot be separated from the thought of the Book of Changes, because the Book of Changes interprets the truth of the universe and people, which is the academic significance of the Book of Changes.

Simply put, Feng Shui is only a small branch of the Book of Changes, which is a systematic philosophy involving society, human beings, the universe and many other aspects. In some ways, they are the same. The central argument in the Book of Changes is that Yin and Yang are the main basis of Feng Shui, which explains the local Yin and Yang problems.

The Book of Changes covers a wider range of things, and Feng Shui is a knowledge that specifically explains one aspect, especially Yin and Yang. The Book of Changes is the first person to put forward this theory, and Feng Shui has been further developed after learning the Book of Changes and fully absorbing it.
