What is Feng Shui

What is Feng Shui? This brings us to the originator of Feng Shui, Guo Pu. Guo Pu was a famous scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, both as a literary scholar and exegete, as well as a master of Taoist numerology and the ancestor of the poem of the Immortals, he was also the originator of Feng Shui in China, with his book, “Burial Scriptures”.
However, there is one very interesting point. Guo Pu was born at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, when war was about to break out, and he hid in Jiangnan, but was later appointed by Wang Dun to be a military counselor. Later, when Wang Dun plotted against him, he ordered him to do divination, and Dun Pu calculated that he would lose, and he was killed for it at the age of 49.
This is really ironic. Mr. Guo is so powerful, how can he not calculate that he will not live?
Besides Dun Pu, another expert in calculating M, King Wen of Zhou, one of the three saints who invented the I Ching, also failed to calculate that he would be imprisoned by King Zhou for seven years, and that his eldest son would be killed by the King (or maybe it was because he learned the I Ching after his son’s death?). He was also a master of M-calculation.
Another counting M master, Xie Shi, is the originator of the word, every test must be accurate, but because of the measurement of the word offended Qin Hui, was deported to Guanwai, there is no return, whereabouts unknown.
So, I Ching Feng Shui this thing, reference reference on the line, completely believe that is superstition. However, do not believe in a little, is also superstitious.
Back to say, what is feng shui? Wind is wind, water is water. Wind can also be called qi. It is very complicated to talk about, but let us think about this: Is there anyone who has settled on the top of a mountain? No. Why? Why? It doesn’t gather qi, and the wind blows people to death.
So, if you want to settle down, where do you settle down? Definitely in the mountain nest. Because this is where the wind gathers the qi. That’s how it works.
What about water? Think about it. Is it better to live in the desert or in the rainforest? I’m afraid the answer is obvious, must be difficult to live in the desert, why? Lack of water.
Jiangnan, known as the land of fish and rice, rich and prosperous, why? Because there is a lot of water.
Dali, Yunnan, is a feng shui treasure, located at the foot of the Cangshan Mountain, the wind does not blow, the gas can be gathered, in front of the Erhai Sea, you say, this can not raise people?
There is a flower called sunflower, also known as sunflower, why is it called sunflower? Why is it called a sunflower? Because the flower head will follow the sun to turn. Who says plants have no life? No intelligence? It’s smart too. It knows that receiving more sunlight will make it grow better. Every one of us also knows that, so, get more sunlight, sunbathing, will be good for one’s health.
So, if you stay inside for a long time on a rainy day, you won’t feel good, and when the rain clears and the sun comes out, it’s comfortable to walk outside and sunbathe.
There is nothing more comfortable than sneezing a few times. Westerners find it impolite, but personally, when I sneeze, I save up all my energy to sneeze, and I feel very comfortable afterward, because, the cold air in my body is discharged.
In that case, wouldn’t the desert be more suitable for human habitation? Because, there is plenty of sunshine. But don’t forget, as mentioned earlier, less wind and more water to work. You can’t go to extremes.
Tropical rainforests, such as Xishuangbanna, are very beautiful, with a variety of animals and plants, why? Because, there is wind but not too much, rainfall is sufficient, and the light time is long.
Which of the two paths above is better? This question seems silly, of course, is the flat good to go. Imagine again, one is a cave and the other is a bedroom in a villa, which one is comfortable to live in? I am afraid the answer is also obvious. Why? We find that material things have an effect on us too, and this is actually part of feng shui.
There is an idiom, called the cup, bow, snake shadow, it is said that a person in a friend’s house drinking, see the cup reflected in the wall of the bow’s reflection, like a snake, but the wine is not good not to drink, drink and go back, always think it is a snake swallowed in the belly, and then fell ill. Later, the friend came to see him, asked the reason, took him to his home, took down the bow on the wall, and told him that it was the shadow of the bow. The sick man listened and was cured.
Don’t underestimate this story, it has a deep truth. Why can’t you put a mirror in your bedroom? Because, when you get up in the middle of the night, you will be confused and your mind will be wandering, and if you see your own shadow in the mirror, you will think that it’s a ghost, and your soul will be scared away, and then you will get sick. The reason is so simple.
In addition, such as animal, especially fierce animal bones, patterns, and some knives, axes and other things, do not just hang the house, you can understand from the perspective of the bow and snake shadow. If I tell you there is another reason, you may be shocked. Legend has it that some Dongdong will board on it. There is no need for me to explain what will happen if there is something dirty in the house.
There is also a story called Mencius’ mother. At first they lived next to a cemetery, so Mencius learned to cry from others, then they moved near a market, all of which slaughtered animals, and Mencius learned to slaughter them, then they moved next to a school, and then they produced Mencius, the Sage of Asia.
