Section 1 Questions raised!
netizens’ question is: Feng Shui, what kind of houses are prone to mutes?
The simple understanding and answer is: "miasma" is prone to mutes!
In this kind of terrain, due to the low ground temperature and high humidity, it is cold and wet, and the dewdrops appear very heavy. And due to the poor air circulation in this terrain, the humidity in the air is high, and the heavy dew always fails to dry or dries extremely slowly under the red sun. Such terrain is unfit for human habitation.
But such terrain is suitable for the growth of unknown "microorganisms", "bacteria" and "viruses". In such a terrain, the population composition of "microorganisms", "bacteria" and "viruses" is too complex. If they are not carefully distinguished, building houses and living in such a geographical location will have a direct threat to the physical development and health of infants and children. Among them, children are more susceptible to polio and encephalitis .
If you don't pay attention to these diseases, in ancient times, there was basically no cure. Modern medicine is advanced, but it is extremely easy to cause misdiagnosis. If treatment is not timely, sequelae may easily occur and disability may occur. "Dumb" is a type of disability caused by polio and encephalitis. The places where they were born are basically in this form of " miasma land" terrain.
Section 2 The revelation of water droplets forming on the surface of water pipes!
It is hot and dry in June. Under the red sun, in some places there are water droplets on the surface of the water pipes that are "naked" on the surface; and the water droplets on the surface of the water pipes sometimes drip to the ground. Is there a leak in the water pipe? After careful inspection, there is no damage to the water pipe. So where does the water come from?
The reason is that because tap water passes through the inside of the tap water pipe, the internal temperature is lower than the temperature of the external environment. Therefore, the surface temperature of the tap water pipe is lower than the temperature of the surrounding air it comes into contact with. The air contains water vapor; when the water vapor is cooled, it condenses into water droplets and adheres to the surface of the water pipe. This phenomenon is the same as when popsicles are taken out of the refrigerator and left for a period of time. A large number of water droplets will appear on the surface of the plastic bag containing the popsicles. The principle is the same - water vapor in the air will condense when it encounters low-temperature objects. .
Section 3: Identification of miasma!
Dewdrops are a common phenomenon in nature. A place without dew is not necessarily a good place. But under the red sun, if the dew does not dry or dries extremely slowly, it is a sign that something is wrong.
The so-called "miasma land" in "Feng Shui Luan Tou Xue" refers to the hot weather conditions in June. After the red sun comes out in the morning, it has been a long time before the dewdrops have dried, and the dewdrops have dried very slowly. The place.
In some places, the dewdrops are extremely thin. Although there are heavy dewdrops in some places, after the sun comes out for a while, the dewdrops will quickly dry up and disappear. But in places with miasma, the sun shines brightly as usual, and dewdrops form on the vegetation as usual. Even after 11 a.m., the dewdrops have not dried yet. The reason why
does not dry dewdrops is that in such terrain, the "water pipe effect of water droplets forming on the surface of water pipes" mentioned in the second section of this article appears. The ground temperature underground in some terrains is too low, causing the roots of growing vegetation to "guide" the too cold low temperature underground and upload it to the "stems", "rods", "branches" and "leaves" on the ground. The stems, branches and leaves on the ground change due to temperature changes. Low, it becomes a "condensation tube", and a large amount of water vapor in the air is condensed and condensed into beads. The water vapor in the air, due to the obstruction of the surrounding mountains and the vortex of the air fluid mechanics , is particularly dense at a certain point in the local area. The moist air swirls into a group, does not exchange with the outside air, and the air does not circulate. , is the main reason why the dew does not dry or dries extremely slowly.
The reasons why the dewdrops do not dry or dry extremely slowly can be summed up in three points: 1. The ground temperature is low. 2. The air humidity is high. 3. No air circulation.
Pay attention to the following four points when identifying "miasma land":
1. The "miasma land" in "Feng Shui Luan Tou Xue" is different from the "miasma land" mentioned in the reference abstract in Section 4 below.Pay attention to the distinction.
The "miasma" mentioned in the abstract below refers to the "poisonous gas generated by the decay of animals and plants in the southern terrain" mentioned in scientific and medical books. "Rotting of animals and plants" and "rotting of dead branches and leaves" can be seen everywhere in the south. After such miasma is generally cleared of dead branches and leaves, houses can be built for human habitation. The "miasma land" mentioned in
"Feng Shui Luan Tou Xue" refers to the geographical location where "the ground temperature is low, the air humidity is high, the air is not circulated, and the dew does not dry or dries extremely slowly under the red sun." Such terrain is not suitable for building houses for human habitation through general transformation.
2. The simplest way to identify a "miasma place" is to observe the dewdrops on the grass and trees in the morning on a hot day when the sky is high and the air is crisp. Places with thin dewdrops on vegetation and fast drying of dewdrops can generally be used as Feng Shui treasures to continue observing other favorable features. The dewdrops are too thick, there are too many dewdrops, and the dewdrops do not dry or dry extremely slowly under the red sun, and the dewdrops do not dry even near noon, you should be particularly vigilant.
3. Pay attention to the distinction between the Feng Shui treasure land that "harbors wind and gathers Qi" and the "miasma land": Miasma land often exists in relatively beautiful "nests". Don't think that a good "nest" means harboring wind and gathering Qi. The key points of hiding wind and gathering qi are to avoid wind and allow air circulation. The biggest characteristic of the miasma is that the air does not circulate. Under the red sun, the dew does not dry or dries extremely slowly. One of the important signs that distinguish the two is whether the dewdrops are dry or not. How fast or slow does dew dry?
4. The reasons for low local ground temperature are: the temperature of the local ground is already low; the sun shines on the local ground, and due to various complex reasons, the ground material receives heat energy that is limited by the movement of physical molecules and does not generate heat or generates "low heat". ". See "Feng Shui Yaqu" (114): excerpt from the fourth section "Why does the sun heat up when it hits the earth?" 》Excerpts from the article.
Ground temperature, that is, the temperature of the earth's surface, is an important content that cannot be ignored in "Feng Shui Mountain Science". Sufficient attention must be paid to the address selection of the Yang house and the Yin house. Feng shui activities over thousands of years have provided enough evidence to prove that the ground temperature on the earth's surface is high in places and low in other places. Surface temperature varies in different locations.
The picture above shows the typhoon vortex. Typhoon vortex is an air flow phenomenon formed in a large environment. Different locations of this vortex, air flow, air pressure, and water vapor density are obviously completely different. In the same way, air vortices should exist in small environments blocked by terrain; air flow, air pressure, water vapor density, and local terrain should have different changes at different locations.
Section 4 Appendix: Excerpts of different ancient miasma arguments from other books for reference!
Miasma causes disease!
Miasma - poisonous gas produced by decaying animals and plants. Due to the aerodynamic effect of this gas, it will gather at a specific location at a certain point in the local terrain!
Miasma is a poisonous gas generated after the decay of animals and plants in tropical virgin forests. The main reason is that the corpses of dead animals are not effectively processed, and the high temperature in the tropics creates favorable conditions for the generation of miasma. "Mias" does not necessarily mean "qi". "Bo Zhai Bian" written by Fang Shao of the Song Dynasty records: "There is a miasma in the two counties of Longgang and Anyuan in Qianzhou (now Ganzhou, Jiangxi). The imperial court is very good at increasing the salary for standing rewards, but the county officials are often in short supply. He Those who are in charge of official duties will not dare to stay, and they will even go to the border to ask for documents and send them away. "
Miasma in traditional Chinese medicine refers to poisonous gases in the mountains and forests that can cause diseases due to the steaming and stagnation of dampness and heat. Poisonous gases produced by the decay of plants and animals in tropical primeval forests.
The reason for the formation of poisonous gas!
The miasma in traditional Chinese medicine refers to the poisonous gas caused by the dampness and heat in the mountain forest that can cause human diseases. It mostly refers to the poisonous gas generated by the decay of animals and plants in the tropical virgin forest.
2 Cihai explains: “Mias: miasma refers to the air that steams and stagnates due to heat and humidity in the mountains and forests of Guanfang Mountain, causing diseases."
3" Modern Chinese Dictionary ": "Miasma: Hot and humid air in tropical or subtropical mountain forests. "In short, miasma is a poisonous gas generated after the decay of animals and plants in tropical virgin forests. The main reason is that no one effectively handles the corpses of animals after death, and the high temperature in the tropics creates favorable conditions for the generation of miasma. And The climate in Guangxi is mainly tropical monsoon climate . Hot, rainy and humid are the main causes of miasma.
4 Actual miasma: In ancient times, people's understanding of miasma was very limited. In fact, most of the diseases caused by miasma were caused by swarms of mosquitoes. The cause. A large number of mosquitoes carrying Plasmodium falciparum bacteria gather together and fly together. From a distance, people and animals will be infected with Plasmodium falciparum malaria after they are bitten. , people fall. In fact, miasma is formed by swarms of mosquitoes, and these mosquitoes can spread falciparum malaria. The Chinese call malaria miasma. In Italian , malaria is called "yin wind", which is the name and the reason for miasma. Similar. There are some folk songs in Xishuangbanna, China: "Ten people go to Mengla , and nine people can't go home; if you want to go to Chefunan, you must first buy a coffin plate; if you want to go to Bodhisattva Dam, you must marry your wife first." Vividly describes the harm of malaria to humans.
Historical records!
The miasma in the mountains and forests of the southwestern region The heat and humidity in the mountains and forests can cause disease. "Book of the Later Han·Nanman Biography": "The water and soil in Nanzhou are warm and hot. If there is miasma, the death rate will be 40 to 50%. "
Baozhao of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, " Bitter Heat ": "Miasma smokes the body during the day, and dew stains the clothes at night. " Gong Liu "Hometown of the Sun": "There is a child next door who is sick. It is obviously due to malaria caused by external factors such as thin clothes and malnutrition. However, people are talking about it, saying that he must have encountered miasma. "
Miasma is a common disease in ancient Zhuang areas. Guangxi is known as the "Mias Township", as "Guihai Yu Heng Zhi" said: "Mias, Guangdong and Guangxi only Guilin does not have it, since it is to the south, both "Mias in the countryside", Guangxi's hot climate, rainy and humid weather are the main causes of miasma. Zhuang doctors in the Song Dynasty not only understood the etiology and pathogenesis of miasma, but also made preliminary classifications and used local prescriptions for treatment. Zhuang doctors in the Song Dynasty The so-called miasma includes many diseases and does not refer to a specific disease. Therefore, "Lingwai Daida" says: "All diseases in the south are called miasma."
Miasma is classified by Zhuang doctors into Qingcao miasma and Huangmei miasma according to the season of onset. Miasma, new miasma, and yellow grass miasma are divided into cold miasma, hot miasma, and dumb miasma according to their symptoms and nature. In the practice of fighting miasma, Zhuang doctors have accumulated rich experience in addition to the Materia Medica in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In addition to containing many Lingnan medicines for treating miasma, the "Lingnan Health Prescription" records a large number of Lingnan people's experience in treating miasma, and "Lingnan Daida" records the experience of using acupuncture to treat heat miasma in the Zhuang area: " When southerners suffer from heat miasma for one or two days, they prick their upper and lower lips with acupuncture... When the miasma passes through the menstrual period, and the disease has entered the body and is close to death, the patient's penis is cured by pricking it." Zhuang doctors have enriched their understanding and treatment of miasma. It can be said that it was the leading medicine at that time.
The distribution of miasma!
There is a lot of miasma in the south. Miasma is the turbid air in the mountains and forests. It originates in the late spring and gathers in the Qingming Festival. The miasma that occurred later, frost collected after the festival, is unique to today's Vietnam , but the miasma to the south and west of the ancient name "Nanjiao" is not the same. It can be said that it exists in all four seasons, especially in winter and spring. , it is different from other places.
There are many miasma places. The mountains there are made of pure stone without trees. Spread in the meantime, the rivers and streams there are either green or red, and are fishy and foul. This is the cause of miasma. If there are lush trees there, miasma will definitely not occur.
According to the season of onset, it is called spring. It is called grass miasma, in summer it is called yellow plum miasma, in autumn it is called new grass miasma, and in winter it is called yellow grass miasma.According to symptoms and nature, it is divided into "cold miasma", "hot miasma" and "dumb miasma"... those named after plants include "osmanthus miasma" and "chrysanthemum miasma"... those named after animals include "anaconda miasma", "peacock miasma" and " Earthworm miasma", "duck worm miasma", "wasp miasma"... and "miasma fields", "monsha", "water miasma"...
Miasma outbreak situations! There are two types of
. One is tangible and the other is intangible. The visible miasma is like clouds and thick fog. The invisible miasma may be filled with fishy wind, or it may be offensive to people with strange fragrance, but in fact it is all miasma. There is another kind, when you first get up, you will see a bright golden light in the jungle, and suddenly fall from the air, as small as a bullet and gradually drift away, as big as a wheel suddenly bursting, neither a rainbow nor a cloud, the fields are filled with five colors, and the fragrance is overwhelming. People who smell this smell will immediately fall ill, which is called miasma, which is the most terrible thing.
The miasma is so dense in some places that when you wake up early in the morning, no one is around you. You have to wait until the middle of the day and the fog has cleared before you can identify objects, especially in the mountains. Therefore, when residents start traveling at dawn, they must eat well; or drink a few glasses of wine to resist the miasma, otherwise they will definitely get sick after exposure. The summer is very hot, and people sweat like rain, but the residents never dare to take off their clothes, take advantage of the wind to cool off, lie down at night, and always close their doors, all to prevent the invasion of miasma.
Miasma-prone season!
Intermittent fever seems to occur more often in summer, malaria always seems to occur in watery swamp areas, and people in areas prone to severe intestinal diseases seem to like to drink cold water. Observe further and try to find logical connections. For example, anyone who enters a swamp area is susceptible to malaria. Therefore, people speculated that the cause of malaria was the hot and humid air in the swamps, which is commonly known as "miasma". Not only that, because most of the places where infectious diseases occur have dirty environments and unpleasant smells, people believe that the cause of the disease is dirty air, also known as "miasma."
Therefore, ancient medical scientists in both the East and the West initially believed that infectious diseases were caused by "miasma". Ancient Roman The famous doctor Galen , the medieval Italian doctor Fracastro, and the 19th century German doctor Heller all believed that the main reason was caused by "miasma" when discussing infectious diseases.
Ancient Chinese medicine " Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Diseases" also believes that "this disease was born in Lingnan, with the air of mountain miasma". "Jingyue Quanshu" believes that "Lanshi" is not common in the south, and people suffer from its evil and become sick, which is why it is called malaria."
However, no matter "miasma", "foreign air" or "violent air", they cannot be seen or touched. One can only indirectly explain their existence. For ancient medical scientists, it was a great progress for them to get rid of various theories about the causes of diseases. But it is not progress in the sense of modern science, because these so-called "qi" cannot be directly witnessed by scientists, that is, if the real pathogenic substances cannot be clearly seen, it is impossible to completely and effectively control, prevent, and discover them. Targeted therapeutic drugs.
The miasma is broken!
1, Coix Seed , if taken for a long time, it can cure miasma. 2. Betel nut can also "win miasma". 3. "Realgar" and "Atractylodes" are often burned and smoked to remove miasma.
The ancients believed that there was a lot of miasma in the south, and people could die from infection. Is this true?
Since modern history, the economic development of southern my country has surpassed that of the north. However, in ancient times, the center of social and economic activities in my country has always been the North China Plain. For most of history, the social and economic prosperity of northern my country has exceeded In the southern region, the biggest reason is that many places in the south are considered " miasma places" and are not suitable for human habitation, production and life.
So what does the word "miasma" refer to? In ancient times, it referred to diseases caused by miasma, so miasma places refer to places that are easily invaded by miasma and cause diseases.So what does miasma refer to? It is generally believed to refer to the unpleasant gas released after the corpses of animals and plants or the decay of dead grass leaves. In the south, the temperature is higher, it is humid and rainy, and the species of animals and plants are rich, so it is easy to produce miasma. In ancient times, miasma was It is considered a poisonous gas, so what kind of gas components does it contain?
From the source of the miasma mentioned above, we can understand that its main components should include methane , hydrogen sulfide , ammonia ... These gases have a certain degree of toxicity, but this kind of gas produced in the mountains and forests in tropical areas The concentration of the gas is not enough to make people who live nearby or go into the mountains and forests sick. The diseases caused by miasma as mentioned by the ancients are mostly caused by mosquito bites, physical discomfort in hot and humid weather, and eating unclean food. Among them Most are caused by infectious diseases caused by mosquito bites.
The weather in the south is hot and humid, which makes it easy for mosquitoes to breed. The distribution and density of mosquitoes are unimaginable for people living in the north. The rice fields in the south are beautiful, but they don’t know that in these places there are so many mosquitoes at night in summer that people can’t stand outside their houses. If you go to tropical or subtropical woods, there are particularly many mosquitoes and more aquatic organisms in the water. People may be bitten by other organisms in water and humid places, so people living in these places are very It is easy to get sick from mosquito bites. Take malaria, for example. According to statistics from the World Health Organization , the number of people who die from mosquito bites every year is still as high as 700,000 to 800,000, ranking first in the number of human deaths caused by animals.
Therefore, ancient humans were afraid of going south and worried about dying from miasma infection because humans did not understand miasma, because it was not miasma that caused human infection or death, but mosquito bites.
In ancient times, there was a theory in the West that miasma caused disease, but Western scientists had conducted research in this area earlier. In the 1840s, the British doctor Bard, who studied infectious diseases, expressed doubts about "miasma causing disease". He observed the environment of the disease area and the situation of people contracting the disease on the spot, and believed that it was actually an infectious disease caused by infectious agents rather than "miasma".
With the advancement of science and technology, in the 1880s, French scientist Pasteur, German scientist Koch and others discovered a large number of microorganisms in sick organisms through medical microscopes, confirming that they were It is the cause of the so-called miasma disease, and these pathogenic microorganisms were identified as cholera bacilli, tuberculosis , Vibrio cholerae , leprosy bacilli, typhoid bacilli, pneumonia bacilli, tetanus bacilli... From then on , the theory that miasma causes disease was not recognized, and infectious diseases in the modern sense were truly established and became an important science for defending human health.
