Afforestation is the obligation and responsibility of mankind. From the perspective of Feng Shui, a forest created according to certain needs is called a Feng Shui forest. Feng Shui forest is the product of Feng Shui consciousness. Ancient people were deeply influenced by the idea of Feng Shui and believed that Feng Shui forests had good and bad effects on peace, longevity, many children, prosperity, promotion and wealth. Since Feng Shui advocates the harmony of nature and man in the environment, this Feng Shui forest is actually a special building jointly created by humans and nature.
When the ancient Chinese ancestors chose their homes, villages, towns, and burial places, they all emphasized the functions of topography and landforms in hiding wind and obtaining water. They paid attention to choosing places that combine wind and water and are rich in vitality. They paid special attention to blocking wind, gathering energy, and Environmental selection for storing water. Feng Shui theory believes that good Feng Shui not only has a good shape and aura, but also has beautiful mountains and clear waters and a pleasant environment.
Dense forests are a sign of a good Feng Shui environment. Silk book " Zhouyi " Lin Gua describes this concept of the Zhou people: knowing the forest is a good thing for the king, and it is auspicious. Forbidden, Zhen, Ji. There is no profit in Ganlin. If you worry about it, there is no blame. It can be seen that ancient ancestors have long recognized the function of forest vegetation in preventing soil erosion and regulating microclimate. They regarded the prohibition of deforestation as a sign of good luck and the wanton destruction of forests as a bad behavior.
Feng Shui theory often regards the ecological environment of high soil, deep water, lush grass and forest as an ideal Feng Shui environment, and associates good Qi, lush forests and good luck together. Therefore, on the one hand, ancient ancestors sought an ideal living environment through the external expression of good aura and lush forests, and on the other hand, they obtained good Feng Shui by planting trees extensively or protecting them.
In the practice of Feng Shui theory, ancient people often maintained Feng Shui by protecting dragon veins and transformed it into practical actions to protect mountains and forests with purpose. The so-called dragon veins refer to the mountains and ridges that can bring auspiciousness and well-being to people based on the direction and extension of the mountains. The mountain is required to be tall and long, with no broken mountains, rocky mountains, or overhanging mountains. The mountain must be lush with forest and grass, which can block the cold wind and cold air from the north. Otherwise, there will be no life and vitality, the air will not be harmonious, and the mountain will not be straight. Therefore, dragon veins are mountains and ridges that hide wind, obtain water, and harness vitality.
Dragon Vein is also known as Feng Shui Mountain. The lush grass forest on the mountain is Feng Shui Forest. Feng shui forest is the dragon's hair that protects the dragon's veins, and it is also the key to the village's hiding of wind and water. The cultivation of dragon veins in traditional Feng Shui concepts is actually the cultivation of Feng Shui mountains and Feng Shui forests. By cultivating the forests on Feng Shui Mountain, we can prevent soil erosion on the mountain and maintain the stability and beautiful natural environment of Feng Shui Mountain. Feng shui forests are artificially planted or protected naturally growing trees for the purpose of cultivating dragon veins.
Feng Shui Forest Cuihu embodies the Feng Shui greening thought, which embodies the ancient people's Feng Shui thought of paying attention to the forest landscape and advocating the green environment; embodies the Feng Shui greening thought of advocating tree planting, and embodies the Feng Shui forest protection thought of prohibiting deforestation. Feng shui forest shows that some areas played an important role in forest cultivation in ancient times, have important scientific research value, and are precious historical relics. Feng Shui Forest also has tourism value.
