my country's ancient architectural archways, gates, and even the emperor's canopy, etc., seem to be projects that are more "image" than practical, and there are countless of them in Chinese architecture.
After careful analysis, these buildings are similar to the "big government offices", big squares and other projects that are being built in many towns and villages in China today. This is not because our people like "spectacles" more than reality, but these buildings have an extra "level" - they are all related to Feng Shui.
For example: "Towers, buildings, pavilions", etc. are all in auspicious positions to attract "qi". It is hoped that the "Wenchang" Qi will be attracted to the local ancestral hall, study room, and Confucian temple to make the children smarter Good reading. The "archway", because there is no door under the frame, is a mechanism for "receiving Qi".
This tradition of loving "image" is related to the "situation" in Feng Shui. However, the situation must be coordinated with the regulation of Qi, and it must be "accepting Qi" and "inducing Qi" to be qualified.
Architectural Feng Shui is the soul of ancient Chinese architectural theory and enjoys a high status in the history of Chinese architecture. In modern times, the modern architectural Feng Shui theory has been developed on its basis. The traditional Feng Shui theory is increasingly recognized and studied by more people and its essence is applied.
