provides an in-depth analysis of "hiding the wind and getting the water" and understanding how the Chinese nation understands and transforms all things, which can effectively improve our ability and level to rationally transform the world in the future.
Generally speaking, " Feng Shui " can always be separated from the four big words " hides the wind and gets the water". They are the same truth.
"Feng Shui" mainly refers to the comprehensive evaluation of climate, geology, landforms, ecology, landscape and other building environment factors when people in ancient times chose building locations, as well as a general summary of certain technologies and various taboos in building construction. It originated from the early human settlement in selected places and was formed in During the Han and Jin Dynasties, it matured in the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, and became more and more perfect during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Feng Shui theory can be roughly divided into two schools:
One is the Situation School, which focuses on the selection of mountains and rivers and the natural environment outside the building.
The second is the Liqi school, which focuses on the orientation and layout of buildings, and each school also focuses on the distinction between Yangzhai (residence) and Yinzhai (grave). In ancient times, Fengshui was popular all over the country and became a major influence on people's clothing, food, housing and transportation. important factors.
"Hide the wind and get the water"
Du Gong Liu
Both Pu and Long, with a view of Naogang, compare its yin and yang
Watch its flowing springs, its three soldiers, spend its time in Xiyuan
Withdraw the fields and provide food, spend its sunset, quiet Juchonghuang
This is " Book of Songs·Daya ." A chapter in "Gong Liu". This poem describes the scene when Gong Liu, the ancestor of the Zhou people, moved to Youyou. The wise Gong Liu tasted the water, observed the yin and yang of the mountains and rivers, chose a place to live and built a house, and led his army and people to manage the fields, harvest grain, and The buildings on the foothills are next to each other, and the crops are harvesting in the fields. It is a pastoral scene that is warm and peaceful.
Since ancient times, our ancestors have regarded site selection and settlement as the top priority for living and working in peace and contentment. The experience of site selection and settlement has been accumulated over time, and as it matured, a knowledge of site selection has been formed - the art of physiognomy. Xiangdi Shu, also known as Kanyu Shu, is a popular knowledge in ancient China about the construction of houses and tombs. Its main content is to guide people on how to choose the location and orientation of houses and tombs, as well as determine the time of construction. In addition, due to the limitations of their understanding of natural phenomena, the ancients believed in the theory of "prophecy of luck". When starting construction, they must observe the geographical situation, examine whether the base "hides the wind and gets the water", and then choose a site with beautiful environment and attractive appearance. All good, all It is said that "the intersection of yin and yang" and "hiding the wind and gathering energy" are suitable for carrying out construction activities, so and influence the planning, layout and design and construction of buildings to a certain extent. It is widely circulated among the people and affects Far-reaching, .
What does "Kanyu" mean? "Kanyu" means "survey" and has the meaning of survey; "Yu" originally refers to a carriage, which means load, and is a metaphor for territory and tunnels. Therefore, "Kanyu" has the meaning of fortune-telling and divination. .
"Historical Records: Chu Shaosun Lun on the Biography of the Japanese" records: "When Emperor Xiaowu gathered to occupy the house, he asked whether he could marry a wife on a certain day? The Five Elements family said yes, the Kanyu family said it was not possible, and the day for building and destroying the family was said to be unlucky. Congchen Every family calls it a big disaster, and every family calls it a minor disaster... The dispute cannot be decided. "It can be seen that the Kanyu family is one of the ancient Zhanjia schools. "Huainanzi, Tianwenxun" says: There are male and female gods of the Big Dipper. It was founded in Zi in November, and the moon starts from the first chen. The male goes to the left, the female goes to the right, and they merge in May. At noon, punishment is sought. In November, the conjunction of the son and virtue is the residence of the Taiyin. Chen is the sun that hates the sun. If you are tired of the sun, you cannot lift up hundreds of things. Kanyu Xu Xingxiong knows the female by the sound, so it is called Qichen." In the article, Kanyu refers to the Big Dipper god. From this, it is known that the Kanyu family is based on the knowledge of the correspondence between astronomy and geography. Divination of bad luck. This corresponds to the "Look up at the astronomy and look down at the geography" in the "Book of Changes".
So Xu Shen noted in "Huainanzi": "Kan, the way of heaven; Yu, the earth." Zhang Yan also believed: "Kan Yu, the general name of heaven and earth" ("Hanshu·Yang Xiong's Biography") 》): These records all show that the ancients believed that Kanyu was a branch of knowledge involving all things in the world. Because there is a lot of content in ancient physiognomy and geography related to Kanyu, later Kanyu gradually became synonymous with physiognomy and as a kind of knowledge of physiognomy. Initially, physiognomy only involved the location and orientation of houses, and its theory The method is relatively simple, mainly the summary and application of experience in coordinating factors such as geography, landforms, climate environment, and people's living conditions, so it also has more scientific components.
By the Han Dynasty, under the influence of the metaphysical thoughts of "The Book of Changes" and Dong Zhongshu " Heaven and Man Induction" and other prophecy theories, the original phase and earth technique was combined with yin and yang, the five elements, and the eight trigrams stems and branches. Further development lays a certain philosophical foundation and logical reasoning conditions for the factory,
After the Tang and Song Dynasties, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism emerged, and the theoretical framework of physiognomy became more and more perfect. It not only focused on the landscape situation, hiding wind and water, etc., but also related to divination, "fate divination" and "zodiac divination" of the house owner. "mouth" and so on. The addition of orientation and qi-regulating content makes it mixed with a lot of superstition and some absurd content. Under certain conditions, it becomes a means for scammers to defraud people of money. The theory of physiognomy is based on the ancient Chinese philosophy " On top of the concept of "qi". The ancients believed that the universe was generated by "qi".
" Huainanzi·Tianwenxun" said: "The earth has no shape, and there are wings and wings, and there are holes and holes. Therefore, it is said that Taishi and Taishi gave birth to the void, the void gave rise to the universe, the universe gave birth to vitality, and the vitality has limits. . What is pure and turbid is thin and sluggish, and becomes heaven; what is heavy and turbid is stagnant and becomes earth." The general idea is that before the formation of heaven and earth, it was just "nothing". "Nothing" produced "Taishi Yuan Qi", and heaven and earth were generated from Taishi Yuan Qi. The light Qi rose to become the sky, and the heavy Qi descended to become the earth. This light qi and heavy qi are the two qi of yin and yang.
"Guanzi·Shu Yan" says: "The Tao that resides in heaven is the sun; the Tao that resides in humans is the heart. Therefore, it is said: if there is Qi, there will be life; if there is no Qi, there will be death. Life depends on Qi." This understanding comes from the fact that the human body breathes its own breath. It is believed that when a person is alive, Qi will flow, and when a person dies, Qi will cease. The importance of Qi is derived from the body to all things. It is believed that everything in the world is the result of the roasting of Qi. The stars in the sky, the grains on the ground, and people's happiness, longevity, and disasters are all balanced. It has a lot to do with Qi.
It can be said that Qi is the most important component of Feng Shui, and its theories and methods are centered around the issue of "gathering Qi". Some Feng Shui experts even say: "If a geographer can understand Qi, he will understand the entire content of Feng Shui." Therefore, Kan Yu Shu Shu often explains it: Guo Pu said at the beginning of " Burial Sutra ":
The person who is buried takes advantage of the vitality, the two qi of yin and yang. When it swells, it becomes wind, when it rises, it becomes clouds, when it falls, it becomes rain, and when it travels to the ground, it becomes angry, angry. It travels in the earth and emerges from all things. Human beings receive the energy from their parents, the original body receives the Qi, the body receives the Yin, and the Qi of the living being gathers together. Those who condense become bones, and those who die are left alone. Therefore, those who are buried should react with the Qi in the bones, which is the way to be born from the shadow.
However, this understanding of the original meaning of "Feng Shui" is biased. Guo Pu's "Burial Sutra" of the Second Jin Dynasty "The original work is one of the most important classics on Feng Shui. Later generations' understanding of its original meaning has been greatly deviated. This is one of the reasons that caused Feng Shui to go astray. For example, later generations misunderstood the original meaning of Feng Shui. Cai Yuanding, a disciple of Zhu Xi in the Song Dynasty, said in his annotation of the Burial Sutra: "Jingri: Qi will disperse when it rides on the wind, and boundary water will disperse." Stop, the ancients said that when people gather together, they will not disperse, and when they move, they will stop, so it is called Feng Shui." In fact, in Guo Pu's original work, there is no such sentence as "Qi will disperse if it rides on the wind, but it will stop if it is bounded by water." The original work of "The Burial Sutra"
says: "The burial person is the one who hides and takes advantage of the vitality. The energy of yin and yang swells and becomes wind, rises and becomes clouds, and falls and becomes rain. When it travels to the earth, it is called vitality. The movement of vitality From the ground, everything comes into being." Guo Pu's Qi is the energy running under the earth's surface, represented by the element "earth", which is the factor for the growth of all things on the surface. Qi is also earth air. When Qi overflows from the earth's surface, wind is formed, rather than the external air flow. Wind, the former is the original meaning of "wind" in Feng Shui.
Therefore, Guo Pu's "Burial Sutra" also said: "Earth is the mother of Qi. Earth is the mother of Qi. Qi is the mother of water. Qi is the mother of water. Here we talk about the concept of water again. Qi is the mother body of water. Water moves with Qi, not Qi that "stops at the boundary of water" .So the water in Feng Shui, in addition to the general water in rivers, lakes and ponds, is mainly the water that moves with or is related to the vitality, and also includes the water molecules in the vitality, that is, the microscopic water. Therefore, the correct concept of Feng Shui should be. It is the concept of "water and soil", which essentially refers to the relationship between surface ecology and climate. Whether Feng Shui is good or not depends on It depends on whether the water and soil of a place are good or not, and whether the surface ecology and climate conditions are in harmony. Therefore, the basic purpose of China's simple Feng Shui is to explore the differences between the architectural ecological environment and the landscape environment. There are many names, in addition to the art of phase and earth, and the art of Feng Shui, there are also names such as Qingwu, Qingnang, geography, phase place, phase house, divination land, divination house, picture house, picture tomb, burial technique, etc.: Qingwu's The allusion comes from "Xuanyuan Benji": "The Yellow Emperor began to divide the wilderness into prefectures. There was Qingwuzi who was good at geography. The emperor asked about it to make scriptures. "Old Tang Book·Jingji Zhi" records that Qingwuzi was the home of Xiangdi in the Han Dynasty. It is said that his three volumes of "Qingwuzi" were popular in the world, so Qingwuzi became another name for Feng Shui.
Books before the Han Dynasty It was written on bamboo slips and then compiled into volumes, "volume" The word "juan" is the pictographic character of the bamboo slips, and the original meaning of the word "juan" is the way the bamboo slips are folded. This fact can be understood from the large number of Han bamboo slips unearthed, and the bamboo slips were carried in cloth bags. "Mr. Dongguo said. The story of "and the wolf" has become a household name. In ancient times, Kanyu's writings were classified into the category of choosing magic numbers. People often use green pouches to hold magic numbers, which is known as "Qing Pouch Miaozhi" (Golden Pouch Miaozhi), so Feng Shui is called "Qing Pouch", which means to observe, examine and refer to the ancient wisdom. The ancient meaning of "map" means consideration and planning. In ancient times, building a house and building a tomb was a major event. , so you need to think carefully and plan in detail. Therefore, people who are engaged in the Feng Shui industry are accordingly called "Mr. Feng Shui", "Mr. Kanyu", "Mr. Geography", "Mr. Yin Yang ", and "Zhao Xiangjia". , "The Burial Master", etc.
