How many scientific elements are there in geomantic omen in architectural design?

Feng Shui refers to the geographical situation of residential bases and cemeteries, such as the direction of mountains and rivers, and the magic of ancient China. The Book of Changes is an ancient philosophy. The two should not be confused. The following content is the general content of China's Yi-ology history, not the history of Feng Shui. In the impression of most people, Feng Shui has always been associated with feudal superstition and dross, but now it seems that Feng Shui has been revived as a rigorous science and a precious cultural crystallization accumulated by the Chinese nation after 5,000 years of production and life struggle. Geomantic omen, China architecture and China gardening constitute the three pillars of Chinese ancient architecture theory. Is geomantic omen theory science or superstition? The reporter interviewed relevant experts on this issue. Feng Shui has a simple scientific truth. Sun Fengqi, director of the Landscape Research Institute of Tsinghua University Architecture Department, said that Feng Shui is not all superstition. Our ancestors have developed a set of empirical theories, which have scientific basis. Ancient geomantic theory attached great importance to the relationship between human beings, architecture and environment. Feng shui can be said to be an ancient environmental concept. He cited the example of quadrangles in Beijing. If you pay attention, you will find that people who come out of the quadrangle have rosy faces, unlike those who stay in the building for a long time and turn yellow. This is because the construction of quadrangles has scientific basis and is conducive to longevity. People who live in quadrangles can be outdoors at least half the time every day, and ventilation will become a problem for people living in buildings. Not to mention that good feng shui can make people rich, and one's health can't be guaranteed. What energy do you have to make money? A real estate manager told reporters why Beijingers like to buy houses in the north. Some people say it is better than water. The actual explanation is that the northern scenery is good, the pollution is relatively small, and the infrastructure is relatively perfect. The water quality in Cheng Nan is not good. In winter, the northwest wind blows in Beijing, and the air in Cheng Nan is relatively bad. If this is Feng Shui, it is related to people's quality of life. The reporter leafed through several professional books describing Feng Shui. The explanation of Feng Shui is as follows: Feng Shui is an art. By arranging things, from building foundation to interior decoration, it tries to influence the atmosphere of a certain place and help people use the natural forces of the earth and the balance of Yin and Yang to obtain an auspicious atmosphere, thus promoting health and increasing vitality. Geomantic omen, also known as "xiangdi", mainly focuses on the study of the surrounding environment, emphasizing intuitive methods to experience and understand. "How about introducing Feng Shui into modern architecture? Zhang, the marketing manager of Beijing Hongshi Industrial Co., Ltd., told the reporter that it is instructive to introduce Feng Shui theory into the development and construction of modern buildings. If we want to treat Feng Shui dialectically, its merit lies in that it conforms to the psychological set and aesthetic needs of people's living habits. In recent years, the popular European style and Australian style in real estate development are only superficial borrowing. The traditional architectural aesthetics in China mainly focuses on gardens and geomantic system, while the architectural aesthetics theory directly related to the lifestyle of modern China people is not mature and standardized. A large number of houses are the background of the overall appearance of the city, and only a few houses may become landmark buildings in some areas. In his view, the character of residential buildings should be warm and pleasant, and its details are that residents are more likely to have sensory contact and more humanistic thoughts. Professor Jiang, director of the Department of Science History of Shanghai Jiaotong University, believes that Feng Shui contains some scientific elements, but there are quite few scientific elements. As far as its subject is concerned, it should belong to pseudoscience At present, there are some Feng Shui books on the market, which sell well, but most of them exaggerate their scientific composition. The purpose of doing this is to make their books public. Almost all feng shui books are published in the name of inheriting traditional culture and conforming to scientific principles. The scientific elements in Feng Shui are mainly empirical knowledge, which coincides with the principles of modern science, but is strictly different from conscious scientific understanding. Fan Dongjie, head of China Architectural Culture Exchange Center, told the reporter: We should criticize the prevailing Feng Shui style in the city and blindly follow the trend, showing a vulgarization trend. For example, the city is full of stone lions and bronze lions for good luck and prestige, which seems to be the hometown of lions, neither fish nor fowl. Also, if you set up a Roman relief column, I will set it up correctly; You do architectural sketches, and I do the same thing. What's worse, I'm afraid it will be late. Some even shoddy, follow the trend at will, spend money, not only did not enjoy the beautiful scenery, but ruined the resources and destroyed the landscape. Professor Chen Zhihua from Tsinghua University wrote many articles to refute some Feng Shui works. He said: In my opinion, Feng Shui scholars who have returned from studying abroad regard Feng Shui as a social phenomenon and language custom academically, but in order to please the public, they will not clearly write this down on the cover. The cover of Feng Shui scholars' works, whether returned from studying abroad or locally grown, is very emotional. If you are familiar with this, you can avoid misfortune and bring you wealth, happiness and luck. The so-called scientific nature of Feng Shui has long had knowledge of modern science and technology and aesthetics such as geology, geography, structure, lighting, ventilation, composition and layout. This old custom of embracing yang and yin is harmless, but the problem is that geomantic omen often seriously distorts aesthetics, and its prevalence stifles the individuality of architecture and interferes with the use of pure language in architecture. He added another metaphor angrily: paying attention to feng shui is like a metaphor. Beware of feng shui that has been used commercially. Nowadays, many brochures of houses and even cemeteries have ambiguous praise for the geomantic omen here. What is congenial to heaven and earth, rich in products and attracting consumers with geomantic omen? Professor Cai Dafeng, director of the Department of Culture and Art of Fudan University and doctor of architecture of Tongji University, thinks that it is not appropriate to exaggerate the scientific elements in geomantic omen. He believes that in modern society, the application of Feng Shui has mainly become a commercial behavior. It is said that Feng Shui now has a good market abroad and has become a very profitable profession. This is related to people's inner psychology of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and it has now evolved into a popular practice. In essence, ancient geomantic omen has long been lost. Today's so-called geomantic omen is very different from ancient geomantic omen in content. How to guide Feng Shui is worth thinking about. As a research object, Feng Shui has research value from the perspective of folklore and architecture. However, if it is used from a commercial point of view and publicized for economic benefits, it is not responsible enough. Unfortunately, there are more and more books on this subject. In some works, looking for causality in disorder makes Feng Shui more mysterious. Cai Dafeng believes that it is actually a very difficult subject to study Feng Shui carefully. Now some ancient books quoted in some books are even punctuated, and its academic and scientific nature can be imagined.
