Feng Shui is our pursuit and dream for a better living environment

China is a big country with the richest historical and cultural heritage, a big country with the largest population in the consumer market for cultural products, but a weak country for cultural industrialization. Let’s leave it alone. Take neighboring South Korea as an example. The " Dragon Boat Festival " is a traditional Chinese festival, but it was successfully applied for as the "Gangling Dragon Boat Festival" by South Korea in 2006; and China's Feng Shui will also "immigrant". The United States "settles down and builds a business." Nearly 20 universities in the United States offer professional feng shui courses. The Library of Congress has more than 500 feng shui versions of books, and the market sells 1,200 feng shui books. In addition, Japan and South Korea also declare Feng Shui as a heritage.

This confuses us: Should we abandon the accumulation of the laws of survival in China for thousands of years, should we let them become cultural wealth in a foreign country?!

The highest realm of Fengshui is the pursuit of harmony between nature and human life. No matter from the height of its doctrine, the scope of the content, and the depth of influence, it fully reflects the wisdom and wisdom of the patriarchs of the Chinese nation, as well as their Have the courage to explore the mysteries of nature and seek the noble spirit and sense of responsibility for the well-being of future generations. Fengshui is a valuable asset they left to the people of China and the world today and in the future, and it should be inherited and carried forward. In the past few years, some senior government officials publicly declared that "feng shui geomancy is a mixed heritage." It can be said that people have initially seen people's true understanding of feng shui.

Faced with the current controversy over the issue of Chinese Feng Shui heritage, we must first understand what Feng Shui is.

1. Feng Shui is human yearning for a better life

And the yearning and respect for nature. Those elegant Ming and Qing residential buildings are closely integrated with nature, creating a living environment that is both scientific and interesting, which is the essence of traditional Chinese houses."

2. Feng Shui is the value orientation of harmonious coexistence between man and nature

The rate at which we humans consume resources exceeds the rate at which the earth's resources are regenerated. For this reason, many people are calling for reducing human damage to nature and thinking and planning human life styles in accordance with the concept of sustainable development. The harmonious coexistence of man and nature is the value orientation of Feng Shui.

3. Feng Shui is the use of natural resources to serve mankind

We all know that compared with the famous water conservancy projects in ancient China, Dujiangyan is unique in its conception, design, and location selection; it takes advantage of the situation and adapts measures to the time. The water control strategy of "not hostile to the water" is unique; the scale of benefits is unique. . It is the product of the close integration of natural ecology, science and culture, and man and nature. The greatest thing about it is that the construction of the weir has lasted for more than 2250 years, and it is playing more and more benefits. The establishment of Dujiangyan, based on the premise of not destroying natural resources and making full use of natural resources to serve mankind, turning harm into profit, and bringing people, land, and water into a high degree of unity, is the only great “ecological” in the world so far. engineering".

4. Feng Shui is the regulation and teaching of spiritual life

Where is my homeland in the vast land? All living beings, where is my comfort? Modern society is full of competition, especially when people endlessly pursue sensory stimulation, material enjoyment, and struggle for power, it will cause physical and mental disorders, psychological imbalances, and personality. Divide, moral decay. This caused many disharmony phenomena, which seriously affected the peace of society. People hope to seek help and enlightenment from Fengshui culture, and hope that through understanding of Fengshui culture to avoid bad luck, as the adjustment and teaching of spiritual life, the essence of Feng Shui is to pursue harmony between people, people and environment, environment and environment. The so-called harmony between people and people means relatives; harmony between people and heaven means spirit; people and earth means birth; family and family harmony means prosperity; country and country harmony means peace; time harmony means prosperity; everywhere harmony , Then Guotai Min'an.

5. Feng Shui is a precious legacy

Fengshui is a product of the farming era and a non-renewable cultural heritage and resource created by the Chinese nation. When people are admiring the poetic and idyllic scenery of Xidi, Hongcun, Ming and Qing architecture, and lamenting the ingenuity and magnificence of the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project, the appreciation and admiration reflects the low productivity of the ancestors’ farming. The times can create a glorious heart of admiration and gratitude for the wisdom and cultural heritage left by the ancestors.

With the strengthening of globalization, the acceleration of modernization and the entry of foreign cultures, Chinese cultural heritage, including Feng Shui, has been increasingly impacted; many historic buildings built in accordance with Feng Shui theory rely on dictation and behavior inherited Feng Shui Operating experience is constantly disappearing or on the verge of extinction, rescue and protection are urgent.

6. Feng Shui is a great wealth

Chinese Feng Shui will "immigrate" to the United States, "settle down" there, and then "return overseas" and sell them back to China in the form of goods, services, and talents. As mentioned earlier, the United States is currently the country that attaches the most importance to feng shui research. Signs indicate that China's Feng Shui theory and practice, content and form have become cultural resources, and are receiving creative research and development in the cultural industry in the United States. It is only a matter of time before the industrialization of Feng Shui culture.

In short, Feng Shui is both strange and familiar to us. It seems far and near, but it is closely related to our lives: home, work, love, wealth, health...Almost everything can be connected with it. Therefore, how to make better use of the precious heritage of "feng shui" is one of our major tasks.
