Speaking of Feng Shui, I believe everyone is familiar with it. After all, it has been popular in China for thousands of years. Normally, people have certain "specialties" when building a house, the layout of the home, starting construction, traveling, etc. So what exactly is Feng Shui?
An old saying goes: "Appearance comes from the heart, and a person's appearance is the external reflection of his or her soul; one-third of it is destined by nature, and seven-cent of it depends on hard work; if a person's heart changes, his virtue will change; if his virtue changes, , his aura will change; when his aura changes, his Feng Shui luck will also change. "So, if you want to change your destiny, you rely on your own energy. Everything you think, say, and do affects the fate of your life.
Our country is a country in the northern hemisphere, so since ancient times, Chinese people have basically built houses facing north and south, and they also pay attention to building the house against the mountain, with water flowing in front of the door, which is said to be close to the mountains and rivers. In this way, the cold air from the northwest will be blocked by the mountains in winter, and the house will get better lighting.
Why did ancient people pay so much attention to Feng Shui? That's because in ancient times, the living environment was not as good as it is now. The population was sparse, transportation was inconvenient, and it was normal to not see a human being for ten miles. Moreover, all work was basically completed by manpower; in addition, the information in ancient times was relatively It is isolated, and the common people have basically never read any books. A large number of farmers are illiterate, and they have no antibiotics, let alone any "scientific" concept. If we do not carefully study the physical geography, then our life may be relatively "disaster-prone". Disaster".
In ancient my country, it was Guo Pu who first proposed the concept of "Feng Shui" and carried it forward. He proposed the general principle of Feng Shui:
The key words here are wind, water and air. So what are these three elements? What does it have to do with us?
First is the wind : The ancients believed that the wind will disperse the "qi" due to its good behavior, especially the energy of life, so they paid attention to the need for mountains to block the "evil wind" to facilitate the gathering of the energy of life. People will be prosperous, life will be prolonged, family and everything will be prosperous, etc.
qi: What is Qi? Maybe many people don’t know what Qi is? There are many records about "Qi" in many ancient books, such as: Qi of the Four Seasons, Five Lucks and Six Qi , Qi of Life, Gathering Qi, etc. The ancients believed that the health of the human body and the occurrence of diseases are closely related to "qi".
Water: This is easier to understand. Our daily life is inseparable from water, and water is also the source of life, which can breed and nourish life; and the daily rations of the ancients depended on growing crops. Without water, , crops cannot survive, let alone people. Therefore, in the ancient people's understanding, they believed that "water can gather wealth" and regarded water as "wealth". Therefore, the ancients paid attention to building houses close to mountains and rivers. This may be the reason.
Why is it said that choosing a Feng Shui treasure land for the ancestors can also bring prosperity to the descendants? Guo Pu's explanation for this is: Human bones are formed by condensation of Qi. In other words, the bones of the human body are also part of "Qi". Therefore, if a person is buried in a certain piece of land after death, it will be connected with the Qi in that place. If this place is a Feng Shui treasure land, the Qi is very abundant, and the descendants and the ancestors are close relatives of flesh and blood, so the descendants and the ancestors will also have a relationship with each other. There will be a feeling of Qi. Therefore, when the ancestors are connected to the "blessings" in the Feng Shui treasure land, then you will also feel the "blessings"; similarly, if the ancestors are connected to the bad "qi", then the descendants will also be affected.
And there is also a certain degree of attention to the placement of furniture in the home. Mountains rely on water, water is alive and represents wealth. As the saying goes, water can make money. So now many people will place a fish tank or water tank at home, which actually uses water to represent the continuous flow and growth of wealth. Hanging landscape paintings in the living room or office, placing Pixiu or Lucky Cat at the entrance of the store also represents a kind of good wish.
Finally, no matter what, we all need to know that everything should be viewed from a scientific perspective. After all, we are not in the ancient times where information is blocked and there is no science. Only by treating it with a scientific perspective and viewpoint can we draw more rational conclusions. Many of the cultures spread in ancient times have become past tense, and we should keep our eyes open to identify them.
