Chapter we life with the ability of feng shui

One, foreword

Fengshui is also known as geography, she is geomantic theory as an ideological system, and the basis of its geography.Western han dynasty book "huai south son" call we discussed geomantic learn origin has accumulated abundant data, especially in the Taoist geomantic learn to give priority to.< object type > motto "huai south son", said: "heaven and earth, between states octupole nine long.Soil nine mountain, mountain jiuzhai, ze nine serval, has eight such as wind, water six."Therefore adopted kyushu rowed words "huai south son" concept, and the grade of kyushu inside world of feng shui.In addition, many Chinese learning all say "gas", such as martial arts practice "qigong," theory of TCM doctor "qi", the artist says "artistic conception", numerology, cloud "luck," cloud "enrage" integrity of the home.Although each by paraphrasing and different object, establishing the doctrine of the unique knowledge and the experience of each, but if the ideological root and magical realm, it is an organic whole with root to learn this.

Fengshui attaches great importance to the "angry", "angry" (popular) life as qi, namely sympathetic to all things of Yin and Yang qi, also referred to as constitutive elements of life, its all this stems from a day in the ground and qi, Yin and Yang in the "to" can show "enrage" traits, this the breath of life can be found from the phenomenon of the succession of living organisms.This paper so as to expound on the ownership of the feng shui and the definition and origin, is from the Yin and Yang qi said line on the ground shall be generated "and" the role of the ancient said: "with water test gas" air and water are list, is the reason, indicating the feng shui concepts related to daily life and is linked together.

Second, the feng shui belongs to define

Concept of feng shui began in the pre-qin period.Every culture has its own belonging, feng shui has its ownership.Ancient feng shui to Yin and Yang, geography and art.Geomantic learn to study, you must first understand the concept of feng shui, historical background and the category, the dividing line and should be the difference between Yin and Yang and the yin-yang school.

There is a difference between Yin and Yang and Yin and Yang.Pre-qin scholars have a Yin and Yang, the founder's paper compares zouyan, zheng xuan, etc.Paper compares zouyan also called chat yan, his thoughts include three aspects: one is the theory of satellites of feng day;Second, the big jiuzhou theory;3 it is theory of Yin and Yang five lines of beginning.Home to Yin and Yang theory including Yin and Yang, four, eight, 12 degrees, 2 ShiSiShi number of learning and the five elements of five DE said (Wang Yude, 1994).Because of the yin-yang school and phase to have no direct relation, and the theory of feng shui is quite influenced by the thoughts of Yin and Yang.Therefore, all previous dynasties the yin-yang school has been the rejection of each dynasty rulers, spread among the people, is also quite limited.

Yin and Yang was established seven hundred years ago.The yuan dynasty to yuan twenty-eight years (AD 1291), the court awarded according to Confucianism, medical cases, on the road (administrative areas at the grass-roots level) set of Yin and Yang.Learning including astronomy, syndrome of Yin and Yang, star, house, building, etc., so feng shui is listed in the column of the knowledge (Wang Yude, 1994).In the Ming dynasty hongwu seventeen years (1384 AD), the court formally set learning officer of Yin and Yang, government, state, county, each one set, and is responsible for the teaching and management issues.The conventionality of the qing dynasty.

Geomantic art and geography.Ancient geography of discrimination and is listed as subservient to the history, the Ming and qing dynasties was gradually developed.Geography is not rigorous, Ming and qing dynasties geographical problems.Feng shui belongs to the phase of learning, involves the mountains and rivers, in geography.Directory read literature often, therefore, can be found in geographic tired feng shui book, a lot of feng shui is handed down, and called the name of "geography" such as the geography books, geography is travelling.In addition, feng shui is attributed to their number, all knowledge can be attributed to classics, history, son, four categories.Radical art number.But the fortunes of the bias is not a science but a river's lake trick, too on the shelf, narcissistic.Does art number will include the alchemist's superstitious, such as fortune telling, planchette writing;But there are also including scientific knowledge, such as weather, astronomical calendar and farming is the essence of Chinese culture, so we must not waste due to swallow food.Should be flat with the heart of tolerance to accept it.

The concept of feng shui, in the "huainan zi. While training" has been set forth, the so-called "two, Meng Chun month, refer to Yin,...Hou YanBei.Right garment tsing yi, a black dragon, suits pale jade, green flag, feed wheat and sheep, take eight shui greetings;But when the theory of feng shui is not Yin YangZhai total name.

Feng shui first in shanhaijing summarized from the buried sutra: "was buried, by angry also.Check the gas wind scattered, borrow water.Do not come loose, the ancients gathered by the make a check, reason of feng shui.Was buried by the Angle from the funeral, therefore, puts forward the concept of "feng shui".It says burying the dead should choose to have angry crypt, ability makes the regeneration.At the same time, feng shui is also referred to the concept of "qi".Gas is the source of all things, together, have line stop, poly lines, is the body.Nature of gas because of the wind and the water running in the fireworks with harmonic relationship and condensation in the crypt, through the terrain view, understand the characteristic of wind and water relations, choose the terrain, this is the "feng shui".Feng shui show to enrage, as the breath of life, can be found from the phenomenon of the succession of living organisms.The so-called "the earth" with the most obvious things im "was buried in the book:

", soil gas in the body, also have soil have spirit."

"Five gas line, an born by night."

"The yue:" soil gas line form, content to students.'"

Explain the existence of gas to earth, running in a play and everything, so the earth can be called the mother of all things."The I ching"Kun sticks of speech:" born to zai he yuan, all goods and materials, is a suitable day."This means that into "with soil, wealth" concept.

Three, gas and water

Feng shui emphasized the relationship between gas and water, especially in the book "huai south son" is particularly clearly."Huai south son" is by the western han dynasty huainan Wang Liuan (before 179 - before 122) compiles.It "purport in Lao zi, indifferent, reestablished assert", "to the tao" "huai south son" Syria.Trying to Taoism as "huai south son", comprehensive, thought and their exponents for long period of peace and stability of han dynasty in search of a unified empire.It more meaning to the category of gas regulation, by the way of essence, qi, Yin and Yang Taoist thought the color clear zone, its belong to the concept of sage comprehensive collection of the dacheng, thought and their exponents and contain the universe angry thoughts.

Think "huai south son" is a world of all things subtle raw material gas, gas produced by ontology way.With different gas, tao is lack, infinite vast;Gas is limited has a marginal.QingYang part of the heaven and earth gas, air distribution and all day, to condense and becomes weightier part.After the heavens and the earth formed, which produces all things between heaven and earth."Huai south son" the universe model, basically inherited the pre-qin Taoism "tao - gas -" mode, but also some development between the gas in the "virtual", "the universe" two phases, in more detail on the clear relationship between time and space.

The huai NaHong set solution. Astronomical xun "heaven and earth did not form, feng feng carefully, hole hole belongs to the genus, therefore, yue zhao.Began in the virtual, virtual gave birth to the universe, the universe angry, gas finite soil, QingYang thin bonding for days, stagnate and for heavy turbidity, qing miao of the specially heavy polluted easily condensation is difficult, so the day first and then to decide.""Huai south son" qi is the material nature of the universe, but not the universe ontology.Gas is also called "pure", has the branch of Yin and Yang.Nutrients im creation of Yin and Yang, after gas to "no", to "start" to "have" process.

Gas can im everything, because gas contains two aspects of the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang.Yin and Yang two gas phase Yun movement, opposing the sympathetic, everything is in the process.In addition, the spirit of huainan zi xun, "the ancient no heaven and earth, but as invisible, yao yao invisible, HongMeng hon hole, mo of the door, there are two mixed god, heaven and earth, is the ultimate hole and tao almost don't know the rest, but don't be so for the Yin and Yang, to eight pole, soft hand, everything is form."The second "god" the Yin and Yang two gas."Huai south son astronomical xun" fine "is the essence of the Yin and Yang two gas, creation of Yin and Yang of nutrients;Sun, moon, stars product sun be the spirit (anger), Yin qi (moisture), and the essence of dissipative.Moon and stars, so nature lightning dew, fog rain frost and snow, animals and birds, fish and shrimp tortoise snake, forest, all without exception is a Yin and Yang two gas phase feeling, strong or weak thin phase change and become.After these plant-based form, still carry out the changing law of Yin and Yang qi, in accordance with the four changes of Yin and Yang and the ups and downs.

Therefore, the changing law of Yin and Yang is the gas movement law, from the natural to the human lives change, is "Yin and Yang of the gas phase" "huainan zi

The performance of the Thai nation xun.In the process of human life movement, qi, Yin and Yang to follow the "and" law, the specific performance of the coordination and balance of form, gas, god.Form is temporary life body, gas is constitute of life substances, spirit is the mechanism of adjusting the life movement.The three coordination and balance, is to rely on Yin and Yang qi "and" to implement.Are the most is the human society to fit in with the stock system, and the natural things like organic life, its existence and movement and also follow the rule of "and".With heaven and earth "sentiment" as needed "and" qi, qi, Yin and Yang, in this way can the social stability and peace.

Fourth, the importance of feng shui

Geomantic art of bud in the qin and han dynasties, grew up in the wei jin southern and northern dynasties, the five dynasties song dynasty for mature period of geomantic art.Attention to feng shui in a matter of inheritance and ceremony, to hasten lucky avoids disaster, patronage descendants.Feng shui is closely related to life, the process of human life etiquette are connected with culture and geographical environment factors.And main popular southeast ancient geomantic art more return, including folk customs and geographical factors.Is the age of turbulence in the history of Chinese in the six dynasties, is also the most active period for Confucianism Buddhism daoism religion.Feng shui in dong han dynasty to the central plains culture core Confucianism thoroughly remould oneself big transformation, system to join in Confucianism, the five elements of Yin and Yang theologize and religious.

By the view of historical evolution: han is full of romantic culture on the north south rational cultural reconstruction process, under the background of the geomantic art formally in raw and follow.Qin and han dynasties two generations to the spring and autumn period and the warring states period big fusion and innovation thought and their exponents.The "spring and autumn annals", the old text with the dong "huai south son", prophetic-mixed (note: "prophetic-mixed", the western han dynasty and the eastern han dynasty popular religious theology.Is more a pre-determined good or ill luck of religious prophecy, weft refers to astronomical phenomena.Our country ancient rulers use the astrology for changes in the sky to lines of personnel, foretell the prophet.Theory and huangdi neijing, "zhou yi can tong qi shu established the universe schema basic concepts in ancient China, including tai chi, Yin and Yang, five elements, four elephants, eight diagrams, air-dried, guides a theory and image, digital, constitute a large and complex system.Wang chong "on life meaning" : "days gas and stars cloth shi jing, shi qi, qi stars in it.People often born gas, gas and long, are expensive, and some is base.Expensive or rank, rich, or how much is the star a junior know little big crown also."Feng shui, in addition to the geographical environment factors kanyu study, plus fatalism and which, star ferry, enrage, system of human life, was born in geomantic art directly.

(a) residential life with the ability of feng shui

Talk about feng shui and life, the most important thing is to residential life with the ability of feng shui.Because the residence is human numerous interest-bearing place, is a place for people to save your strength, also is one of the biggest people can wear, the protection of the people plays a special role.So, always have to live and work in peace and contentment.For housing, housing for people, people curtilage, induction of heaven and earth.So when building or select housing, must by scientific dialectical point of view, and feel, fine observation, to build and choose to health of body and mind to the human body has a good effect of wind good home to get together gas, and contentment.

Book of copulative "said:" are the ancient cave, the later generations saint with palace, on the yu, wind and rain, take ZhuDaZhuang cover."It is said that the evolution of the building, the original humanism in caves, or in the forest, there are thunderstorms in heaven, or the wind and snow, cold ancestors solution, is the invention of the building to avoid, so take as Yu Dazhuang (big strong divination of changes as: on shock for the thunder, the dry for days, for yu.The ancients has come up with the wind and the water is building constitutes a direct cause of, and modern people often say that housing is solidification of music, the silent language, because residential pattern shows that adapt to the environment human wisdom, curtilage the good prosperous has always been the pursuit of human culture for thousands of years of residence.With the dialectical point of view, residence should has the characteristics of the wind to get together gas.But only from the point to explain the housing problem of feng shui is not enough comprehensive, according to the author for many years after the study of residential feng shui found that home geomantic learn is by geophysics, hydrological geology, environment landscape, ecological architecture, climate, meteorology, stars, magnetic bearing to the universe and human life informatics, such as the eight integrated disciplines.Therefore, whether to build private homes, or for the development of real estate projects, or to urban planning and construction, if we can pay attention to the research and application of feng shui science, will be in the process of construction to achieve the ideal effect, also can make people to these buildings have a kind of comfort and familiarity, people living in such an environment, is bound to physical and mental health, a happy life.

To hide the wind to get together gas good housing must have three basic conditions, one is the environment good location, the second is the construction pattern, 3 it is.Work through "the yellow emperor, said:" husband house, is the hub of Yin and Yang, the ethics of the rail.The museum Ming xian, incompetence, tao enlightenment."So when choosing housing to farsighted, careful investigation, careful judgment.

(2) the tomb of feng shui

Chinese people attach great importance to living, to build houses and courtyards, - after the death of the mouthThe coffin, buy onegraves.So the burial site selection is a traditional Chinese one of the most important problems in life.Soil is thin, springs of water wave, so must phase can be buried or not, and also of business.The development of "the wind of feng shui.Left tsing lung, right white tiger, after QianZhuQiao, basalt is one of the best cemetery.Is the tomb to patron linshui, pillow top water;Left by mountains, plains in the west, this is the best for feng shui.Thus, the tomb and feng shui is connected.This embodies the people in order to survive, for the sake of safety, should choose good terrain to build housing, died and was buried ideas of feng shui is to choose a best meeting, a good to make the dead also.

Ann cemetery to find angry, why gas in the ground, to look at the stars, the most for water and wind, to gas in the melting point, the first mo was buried to plain, made out a living, the second don't find dragon ridge, the third don't find a concave wind scoop, misuse, religious, the fourth you ji hill, no case is hall 5, decided to break his possessions, 6 partial abhorred Long Hufei, more avoid bump broken stone, the only evil and blessing, one mountain out and the stars, it is true, should be hall gas julong tiger embrace, threatening to riches and honor, acupuncture must be used more, it can help the poor, the ground of stars with an organic whole, and the landscape, Ann's tomb to recognize pulse buried its top, BuFu stretches of tai chi in the star's most XuanWei, moreover two meter, Yin and Yang to be pulse respectively, the dragons' den since phase, if moving at four elephants, MaiXi KuXue shape, pulse back ochre dizzy, see is forming, wat in plane, tu see YangLong shadow, interest tu avoid meet, pulse condition patio well (gold) points four, cover sticky and lean on collision, the pulse delay with urgent need sticky, straight on horizontal is pointed and interest as well open four number, cut cut with pendant, with short rates with chop with cutting, high interest in hanging on with pendant, wat four blocks, as well open and fold, are o wat narrow with is broadly used for, caverns with shallow folded closed. Tu as well open four tips, get with oblique thrust, tu help double and used alone, is appropriate, inserted with oblique slant appropriate gold well to your prophets, first XuanShen to choose, pick out LAN station () in the circular halo dragon, dimensions in accordance with the day to take, depth in jade ruler, a pile of five star, water in accordance with the true strategics, must take road twists and turns.Runge sand with shuicheng, division will clear, compass to specify what direction, must use hexagrams accurately.

Feng shui (3) the work environment

Geomantic learn that auspicious environment aura to the person's courage, wisdom, has certain help,, in turn, affects the rise and fall of business, the success of his career.Thus, as the people in the workplace office, the furniture placement is very important.

Based on desk placement as an example, this paper briefly analysis the office furniture placement.There are two desk put note, one should pay attention to not desk is facing the door.Must pay attention to them at the desk after 2 has wall of one kind of common, can not have extra emptiness.To avoid the desk is against the door, mainly in order to make the leader at work, not susceptible to interference from outside noise and peep by others;Avoid writing desk after redundant emptiness, mainly in order to make the sitting on the desk to deal with commercial business, reduce to itself behind the emptiness and the feeling of unease, increase the reliability.Put desk, front should have a more broad space, according to feng shui is an angry area, can use people's broad-minded.At the same time, the desk is far from the door, and the door is located at the front desk left oblique Angle, can avoid others from directly into and from the noise outside the door.Behind the desk of a solid wall, because the wall like mountains, give a person with strong feeling, orders and relying on the desk.

Also the office pay attention to choose to have the house of the window, at the same time also to examine the environment out of the window, when asked by window overlook, right in front of the window can't see the chimney a jinx.In addition to see if there is a corridor outside the window, if there is a corridor, it is best to give up the other choose, because aisle were brilliant, footsteps, laughing, will affect the science of handling official business work mood.And, often by others peeping through the window.

Five, the feng shui's relationship with gas, water

Fengshui is a fusion theory and life experience "book of changes" to paraphrase in the living environment of the old knowledge, nylon heaven and earth, and the learning content covers are: object relative operation (days), the landscape situation (ground) on the surface of the earth and the world of turbid (people), common cloud: "the Confucianism on earth, qi, Yin and Yang."Enough to play a dual spirit of Confucianism.Feng shui theory of gas and water.Briefly describes the following four function description (vector jianguo, 1994) :

1, to enrage run - title deeds in the overburden skin, is influenced by wind and rain water running.

2, the influence of the very - very turbid effect, for man said angry, fierce said dead.

3, angry identification - the surface of the landscape situation (space) and relative orientation (time) to the reference object, from the vast earth, find the appropriate person.

4, angry of the feng shui of use - for the selected lucky, also size environment must be a long-term maintenance.

About the role of the gas, the former are open presentation;Besides monograph in "huai south son", the other in shanhaijing summarized the book was buried in the ancient books has also important feng shui statement, so as to jin "and" the idea of "buried by angry", put forward the theory of "angry", to provide water to learn today as the theory of "qi" theory of reference.The ancients thought the heavens and the earth is an organic whole, and from the days."I ching" : "born to zai he yuan, all goods and materials, is a suitable day.""Was buried in the book:" under the skylight, DE upload ", and "Lao zi", "people method, method of day, day tao, tao natural.", is that the ancients thought sympathetic, heaven and earth to shun bearing have all day.So all can say all this stems from a day on the earth.The so-called heaven and earth, Yin and Yang qi rendezvous in the soil skin (the) near the surface, this is for all things im an opportunity.In today's explanation should be a near the surface is suitable for biological survival.Within the surface of the earth's atmosphere, atmosphere (climate) change for a long time, will affect the development of the evolution of the topography, hydrology, soil, civilizing and distribution of plants, and an important factor of climate and geographical environment, and different height and depth in the earth's surface, air temperature and moisture from the atmosphere have relative changes.As a result, the earth's surface in the sun (temperature), and air and water conditions, the biological will be affected by climate change can be eligibility, only near the surface and must be within the scope of existence, and the only 4 ~ 5 km range, up and down at 6370 km radius of the earth to see its really thin skin.Covering, the ancients said soil skin does have its truth.

In addition, this paper discusses the principle of "water" principle and feng shui, the relationship between its present the meaning of life."Water" in the eyes of the Chinese represents life, especially pay attention to water in feng shui.The water of the ancients to "have to view the invisible qi", so to understand the concepts of feng shui is not unknown water.General rules, in the flat or waterfront (flat ocean, from) with water as the dragon, is different from the concept of mountain dragon.The concept of hoses to paraphrase evaluation of Yin and Yang, five elements theory foundation.Feng shui hoses fully show the effect on the ecological environment, extend to the Chinese this unique views and ideas with today's science in principle is still the same, such as meteorology, geography, life, medicine, ecology and environmental science, etc."Flowing water", as "on the I ching is a" : "living" easy "."The analects of Confucius Yang goods", "day David zai?How, how, four lines below raw day David zai?""Zhuang zi know northward" : "the vice versa after into a magic, magic into vice versa.", all words have a perennial force between heaven and earth natural evolution of all things.

On land, water and gas, the relationship between the buried in the book: "the body of the air, soil, soil, have spirit;The mother of gas, water, wind, mother."After showed to have soil to gas, gas condensate water.Another view of the buddhist monk anakims; theory of son: "the mother of water, water, angry, gas water, water for gas, vapour rise up to day, and the cloud is also lowered water up to the earth, and the rain is also."The two other words MingShui with gas phase evolution, but also of reasoning to the heaven and earth pandemics are the change of the water and air.In addition, the water dragon, "lash sympathy" to describe water with gas, "lash sympathy, water vapor phase one by one, the children of judah the accompanying of the shadow", is, with the change of the popular view of management, water and gas due to mutual derivative are mother-child relationship, the performance of both are related to the land.Angry with water, and water that have spirit, from the physical view of both originated from "enrage", if the phenomenon, "enrage" again at the same time into the "water" and "qi" as the last two and for Yin and Yang qi back to the atmospheric circulation in the air inside circumfluence."Water" and "gas", Yin and Yang nature of qi intangible, its buoyancy is belong to "Yang","Water" tangible, its sexual weightier, fell so belong "Yin".In fact, the "water" and "gas" the mutual root of Yin and Yang, the water is visible in the "table", the air is not visible for the "in", so as long as the view of physical water can infer the spirit of the invisible.Prediction feng shui as long as the concept of "water" is "gas", therefore, the ancients often "test gas in water is the truth.

Six, the conclusion

A bowed deeply jin feng shui shanhaijing summarized "was buried in the book and the western han dynasty huai nun tzu" huai south son "."Huai south son astronomical xun" in, "pure" is the essence, the Yin and Yang two gas, creation of Yin and Yang of nutrients;Sun, moon, stars product sun be the spirit (anger), Yin qi (moisture), and the essence of dissipative.Moon and stars, so nature lightning dew, fog rain frost and snow, animals and birds, fish and shrimp tortoise snake, forest, all without exception is Yin and Yang two gas phase thin phase sense, strong or weak result universe generated.Feng shui really played a lot in the history of China for thousands of years.Because the Chinese all construction activities (or the livingThe deadThe transaction) are almost in accordance with the concept of feng shui.Study of feng shui should must further the deep structure of Chinese mysterious culture, analyzes, and must contact with mysterious culture transverse coherence, and comparing with the western culture, to explore the essence of the geomantic art meaning, pulling superstitious perfunctory rigid mindset.Geomantic art as a collection of wu, Taoism and Buddhism, Confucianism, as one of the large pseudo theory system and operation system, so the difficulties on scientific evidence.

Chinese imperial court have many government, good feng shui feng shui and management of the people were put in the prison department day of work.Tianfeng supervisor is responsible for the astronomical phenomena also has separate phase.Qing dynasty tomb day by department supervisor of VIP in person to guide the construction.Modern traditional disciplines are replaced by a new subject and update.Department of day been replaced with observatory and the meteorological bureau.The division of classics, history, son, have been knocked out, left book thread-bound book kept quiet lie, Yin and Yang was carved up, geography along with new scientific attitude, early threw geomantic art to her back.Hence fengshui as a kind of historical culture, today has become a phenomenon still existed in modern society, especially the folk are more prevalent.We have no reason to let this spread between heaven and earth, drift with the current mainstream and non-mainstream gobbling up is unity is the essence of the continuous line.Should be studied to make this academic fields persist.

The whole society should pay close attention to feng shui on the body.Feng shui range, so can be attributed to culture, history, ethics, sociology, political science, philosophy, psychology, architecture, civil affairs, religion and folklore.Can be in accordance with the Angle to study different subjects to feng shui, especially borne the brunt of folklore, religion and geography, feng shui is closely related to culture and folk life, whether elegant or vulgar cultural involve in this;In addition, feng shui is associated with human, environment and architecture.Feng shui astrologers, was made in geography, is also referred to as the "integrity".People may go to death valley building, more not to landslide zone, water zone,

Flood zone, tuyere zone and damp area construction, should choose the best environment, to build the best location, best orientation, the best structure of the building, geomantic art YangZhai is trying to solve these problems.Subjectively can transform, but must respect the objective, appropriate objective, shall not violate conditions, in fact, fengshui, besides must grasp the principle and has a personal perspective on things related to objective conditions.So the han dynasty YingShao "customs through righteousness" mentioned: "place to, distinguishes the wind is vulgar."Let us this generation bearing historical mission will be nothing is does not affect the social cultural phenomenon - geomantic art, belonging to the field to seriously study it.
