What does feng shui mean?

"Feng Shui" is a controversial topic. Since the lecture room, various forums have never talked about "feng shui" in this way. Two years ago, it was controversial to talk about "Feng Shui" in Nantah, and it was also controversial to talk about "Feng Shui" in a university branch in Wu Hanyou. However, "Feng Shui" is indeed a cultural issue worth talking about, especially some problems in "Feng Shui" need to be corrected.

Many people think that geomantic omen is fortune telling, divination, measuring character, fortune telling and reading gossip, which is quite different from the understanding of academic circles or academic schools. In my book Notes on Ancient Feng Shui, I regard Feng Shui as a kind of culture.

We should not easily say that Feng Shui is a science or superstition, just like watching a movie. Let's not easily say that this is a good person and this is a bad person. This way of thinking is too simple. Feng Shui is a kind of culture and a cultural phenomenon passed down from ancient times.

Science-

In ancient China, people engaged in geomantic omen for two reasons: first, it was beneficial to agricultural production; Second, it is good for life. After ample food and clothing, the fundamental purpose of ancient China Feng Shui appeared, which changed from the above two aspects to wealth or longevity. The premise of prosperity or longevity is to eat a full stomach and live a down-to-earth life.

Therefore, the scientific nature of Feng Shui is reflected in the fact that good Feng Shui is beneficial to agricultural production and human habitation. There are six main standards of geomantic omen: mountain ring, water embrace, emotional style, sweet water quality, delicate and shiny red and yellow land, and timely land acquisition.
