Discussion on Architectural Fengshui

The first person to define Fengshui in history was Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty. He said in his "Book of Burial": "The burial is also angry. The air will be dispersed by the wind, and the boundary water will stop. The ancients will not disperse when they gather. It is called Fengshui.” Fan Yibin from the Qing Dynasty wrote a note for the Book of Burial: “If there is no water, the wind will come and the air will dissipate, and if there is water, the air will stop but the wind will stop. Therefore, the word “fengshui” means geoscience. Among them, the place where water is obtained is the first class, and the place where the wind is hidden is the second class." This means that feng shui is an ancient art related to vitality, and it can only be done when avoiding wind and gathering water. Get angry.

What is anger? "Lv's Spring and Autumn-Jichun" says: "When anger is full, Yang Qi is vented." Qi is the growth and development of all things, and it is an element capable of rejuvenating vitality.

Before Guo Pu, Feng Shui had other names: Xing Fa. "Han Shu·Yi Wen Zhi" has a tangible law category, which contains 20 volumes of "Topography of Palace and House". The Japanese scholar Takikawa Shiyan bet on this article: "Speaking of geomantic omen, the method of locating geomantic omen includes the shape of the earth and the earth, as well as the man and the animal. This is the difference between it and later geomantic omen." Kanyu. It can be regarded as the sky and the public as the earth. Kan also has the same meaning as Kan and Kan. In the Han Dynasty, there were people who took contemplation as their profession. "Historical Records-Biography of the Japanese" has a note from Mr. Chu: "When Emperor Xiaowu, the family gathered and asked if a woman would be taken on a certain day? The Five Elements family said yes, the Kanyu family said not." It can be seen that the Kanyu family has the responsibility of choosing time.

The "Han Shu-Art and Literature History" contains the "Gan Yu Jin Bian" which is also a book about Feng Shui directions. In addition, feng shui is called Qingnang, Qingwu, Xiangzhai, Geography and so on.

For the term Feng Shui, the definition of "Ci Hai" is: "Feng Shui, also called Kanyu. A superstition in old China. It is believed that the wind and current surrounding residential bases or graveyards can lead to misfortunes and blessings for the resident or the buried family. Also. Refers to the law of Xiangzhai and Xiangmu.

In recent years, scholars have held different opinions on the definition of "Ci Hai". The main tendency is to disagree with equating Feng Shui with superstition. Yin Hongji wrote in the first issue of "Research on the History of Natural Sciences" in 1989: "Feng Shui is a landscape evaluation system for finding auspicious locations for buildings. It is the art of ancient Chinese geographic location and layout. It cannot be simply called according to Western concepts. It is superstition or science." Professor Pan Guxi pointed out in the preface of the book "Feng Shui Exploration": "The core content of Feng Shui is a kind of knowledge for people to choose and deal with the living environment, and its scope includes residences, palaces, temples, and mausoleums. , Villages, and cities. Among them, those involving mausoleums are called yin houses, and those involving houses are called yang houses." Recently, Taiwanese scholars have also mentioned "Feng Shui is the relationship between the earth's magnetic field and humans." It seems that Feng Shui has a tendency to be elevated and strengthened.

When discussing Feng Shui, we must not only fully understand and absorb the latest achievements of academia, but also adhere to a pragmatic attitude. Fengshui is a traditional cultural phenomenon, a widely circulated folklore, a technique for choosing good fortune and avoiding evil, a knowledge about the environment and people, and a theory about the theory and practice system of yin house and yang house. The accumulation of long-term practical experience.
