The effect of feng shui techniques on house selection

The embryonic form of Feng Shui originated from the ancient ancestors’ choice of settlement sites. There was no such thing as “feng shui” at that time. It was the ancestors who gradually accumulated experience in the struggle with the cruel natural environment and understood that they must choose safe, A healthy, easy-to-living, and productive living environment has gradually emerged in this discipline.

Archaeological findings show that both the tribes of Banpo Village and the cities of the Yin and Shang Dynasties were built on the "back mountains and water" surrounded by mountains, and most of the houses are facing the north and facing the south, which is convenient for lighting. It can be seen that the "house shape method" of Feng Shui has already been produced.

The interpretation of "Feng Shui" in "The Book of Funerals" contained in the "Quan Shu of Si Ku" is: "The ancient people gather together to make it impossible to disperse, but to do it with a stop, so it is called Feng Shui." And explained: "The land of high ridges, The sky is falling from the top, the anger is exposed, and the most afraid of wind and cold, it is easy to disperse; if a person lives in a secret room with a slight gap and proper ventilation, the shoulders and backs can become sick. Therefore, the city should be dense and so There is a gathering of qi. The hole of the flat branch, the sun rises from below, is angry and sinks, and is not afraid of the wind. Out in the wilderness, although it is unconcealed on all sides, it is self-conscious, or when the moon is sunny and sunny, it is gentle The qi is self-contained. Therefore, it is not considered to be wide and open, but it is impossible to take the horizontal water to stop the qi." The meaning refers to the high-ridge land, which depends on the environmental situation to "hidden the wind"; the flat and open land , Relying on the river to "gather qi", its purpose is to resist the wind and cold, and not make people "ill".

Obviously, finding a good small living environment is the original motivation of Feng Shui, and what it says is "good luck" and "bad", which actually embodies a view of the environment. Later, Feng Shui used terms such as "Tibetan Wind" and "Gathering Qi" to express the connotation of pursuing an ideal living environment. Therefore, no matter how much Feng Shui should be criticized, it cannot deny the reasonable core of Feng Shui.

At present, the world has entered a "post-industrial society". Faced with the serious harm that industrial society has caused to the living environment of human beings, modern people have begun to reflect, seek harmony between man and nature, and put forward the slogan of "return to nature". The inevitability of history. No matter how today's "environmental science" hopes to "draw a clear line" with Fengshui, the ultimate "direction" of both parties, namely to choose or create an environment most suitable for human living, is the same.

In the field of modern real estate development, the important principles of feng shui on good and bad have been used consciously or unconsciously by developers and home buyers. For example, starting from the concept of "people-oriented" and "returning to nature", after careful research on building site selection and landscape construction, a number of relatively ideal residential areas have been created.

Here are some brief introductions to the Feng Shui techniques of choosing a site to build a house for reference when choosing a homestead or housing.

Seeking "Dragon Vessel"

Regarding the search process of environmental site selection, the term of Fengshui is called "discrimination". "Distinguish the shape" is to find the "dragon vein", that is, the convergent and enclosed place of natural landscape. From a micro point of view, Feng Shui circles have their own views, especially on the question of how to find "dragon veins" in the market place. For example, "Yangzhai Jiji" said: "In the tens of thousands of tiles and scales in the city, the high house and the ridge are the real dragon"; "Yangzhai Huixinji" said: "The first floor of the street is a layer of water, and the first floor of the house is a layer of sand." . From these viewpoints, the mature commercial street in the city center has become a "true dragon"; modern rapid rail transit has also become a "dragon" for entraining air. This is also true from the reality. The areas close to the commercial center are very hot, and the housing prices are so high that ordinary people dare not care. The housing prices near the rail transit lines are also much higher than other relatively deviated areas, even if the distance is only a few hundred. Between meters and kilometers. In a practical sense, this is a traffic problem. The ancient dwelling place near the river and the river was for the convenience of life, and travel can be beneficial to the boat. It is the same reason that modern people regard convenient transportation as the most important condition for choosing real estate.

Water is the best

After all, streets are essentially different from real "water". Starting from the basic needs of life and production, human nature is "hydrophilic". The Book of Burial also says: "The method of feng shui is to obtain water first, and the wind is second." The "Water Dragon Scripture" believes: "Pingyang only uses water as a dragon, and water around is the dragon's body. "Dragons must look at the water to go around and ask for it"; "Shan Guan Ren Ding Shui Guan Cai", "Prosperous financial resources reach Sanjiang", etc., are all portrayals of the impact of "water" on economic life. With mountains and waters, it is always the ideal living environment for people. With the advent of a well-off society and the improvement of people's living standards, the people have evolved from housing to start to pay attention to the surrounding environment and the landscape outside the window.

Generally speaking, being able to live on the water's edge means getting the air of "water dragon", and it is a treasure of feng shui, but there are a few things to note: First, the river must be clear. It is a simple truth that rivers with poor water quality are not suitable for living. Secondly, the water should be winding and calm, not mighty. "It is good for the water to hold affection, and it is bad for it to go straight to failure." Going east from the big river can inspire enthusiasm, but it is also easy to make people feel difficult to calm down; while small bridges and flowing water have the effect of calming and calming, which is consistent with the atmosphere pursued by ancient Chinese garden architecture. Modern medicine has also proved that the magnitude of the sound and light stimulation around the living environment has a great influence on people's sleep.

Tibetan wind gathers gas

Hiding the wind and gathering air is the basic view of "the treasured land of geomantic omen." Ancient towns and villages generally chose places with mountains and waters behind, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and facing water on one side, to form a "wanted self-recovery, repeated loops, and desire to go on, but to stop and deep. To accumulate. , Flushing yang and yin. The soil is high and the water is deep, and the green grass and magnificent forests are such a small environment full of vitality.

Sit down

"Suzaku in front and Xuanwu in the back, green dragon on the left and white tiger on the right", this is the basic model of Fengshui appraisal of "the treasure of feng shui". This mainly means that there is a "backer" in the back of the house and an open "Mingtang" in the front. The front of the house should not be suppressed and cramped, the view should be wide, and the scenery should be beautiful. This is also an important indicator of contemporary environmental psychology, and the two are quite consistent. If there is no mountain in the plain area, it would be difficult to achieve “situation”. Nowadays, developers have made changes in actual operations, such as treating the built high-rise buildings as “mountains” and developing residential buildings with their backs on high-rise buildings. This is suitable for small areas. Real estate development on the plot. In the case of large vacancies, some real estates deliberately design the last row of houses to be the highest in the planning, and the height of the front houses decreases row by row, forming a ladder, which serves as a "backer" for each other.

Good luck tips

At present, real estate development has entered the era of architectural culture. The ability of a house to "reserve gas" and "gather gas" is the feng shui that we must discern carefully when buying a house. "Feng Shui", a treasure of Chinese traditional culture, is showing its important role.
