    There are probably two situations to call the other party "pseudo", one is that the other party expresses contempt for what he despises, such as calling a certain army a "pseudo army" and "pseudo **", which is a very subjective judgment with a certain preconceived value orientation or ideology; The other is when some people sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, under the banner of "science" or "philosophy, Chinese studies", they cheat and deceive, for example, today there are indeed many cows, ghosts, snakes and gods who deceive people and cheat money under the banner of traditional Chinese medicine, not to mention delaying people's treatment, and there are also some "pseudo" feng shui families who make a living and make an economy for mixed business, in fact, they are helping real estate developers sell houses and fool the main thing, you have to know how to ask a rhetorical question, and he will be stuck. But then again, how many people today cheat money in the name of science? Considering the extremely prosperous status of science in the minds of the public today, in fact, it is more, not to mention anything else, look at the TV direct sales advertisements, **** aphrodisiac selling medicine, which is not to use "science" as a signboard, in the noble name of science to do things like flies and dogs?

    This is called "true" and "pseudo" science. Can these deceitful people take advantage of their speculation on the word "science" to attack science as false and deceitful? Do you think you've got someone else's handle?

    Not daring to face the opponent's arguments and arguments head-on, knocking on the side, secretly changing concepts and distorting facts, this is a sign of weakness. <>

    When it comes to science, today it almost stands for correctness and rationality in everyday life and language, and it is still "officially authorized and exclusive", for example, we will say things like, "You can't do this, because it's not scientific (rational)!" But in fact, the word "science" here does not refer to science as a discipline, but refers to nature, and rationality is not a unique research method or core concept of science, science or the savior of the new religion is worshiped by modern people - before the emergence of "modern science", human beings as individuals and as a collective society have begun to use reason to guide their lives. However, after the fact that science has exclusively learned the concept of rationality, it has indeed benefited a lot, at least from the perspective of public cognition.

    I am not doubting the value and significance of science, but I am saying that we cannot use science as the measure of the value of all human affairs, and we cannot take economic efficiency as the core consideration of everything, and modern natural science and utilitarian economics are responsible for many of our man-made existential crises (environmental, ethical, political, etc.) today. The value of human beings is much higher than these two, and if human beings can realize that they are part of nature and live in harmony with it, human reason can be regarded as useful, and it is incomparable to nest in an air-conditioned room and drill some financial instruments. <>

    Feng Shui is not a pseudoscience, but a non-science. The criterion for judging scientific theories is falsification. Theories that have been falsified are wrong, while theories that have not been falsified are tentatively considered to be true.

    Of course, many theories cannot be described simply as right or wrong, but only have conditions for application, or are just approximations, such as Newtonian mechanics. Non-scientific refers to knowledge systems that cannot or need to be falsified. For example, literature, philosophy, Feng Shui, some theories of Chinese medicine.

    Pseudoscience refers to theories and knowledge that have not been systematically falsified or are not scientific in their own right, but claim to be scientific. Therefore, as long as Feng Shui does not claim to be a science, it is nothing more than a non-science. The focus of science is not on the conclusions, but on the spirit of science.

    What a scientific conclusion describes is not necessarily correct, because there is a possibility that a scientific conclusion can be falsified. However, being falsifiable does not mean that it is wrong, and when a scientific conclusion cannot be falsified, it is correct. For example, the "law of gravitation" is a scientific conclusion, but it is not necessarily true because once someone finds an apple that flies upwards automatically, then the law is falsified.

    However, for so many years, no one has found an apple that flies upwards automatically, so this law is that science is evidence-based, and what it describes is not necessarily the truth, but it must be the most appropriate explanation under the current conditions. Maybe you have really seen ghosts and gods, but you can't come up with enough evidence to prove the existence of ghosts and gods, so it's not worth believing. After seeing the masters, you know that the so-called science is only relative, there are too many unknown areas in the world worthy of your respect, only the people you meet look back, there are only three or two teachers who carried out modern education for me back then, most of them are just a tool and a microphone, which is a few real level, which industry is not the case, the same is true for feng shui masters, and people with real skills are rare.

    Feng Shui ** in the Book of Changes, not all are deceiving.

    Feng Shui, in fact, is also called Kanyu. The original intention was to establish a set of principles that would help people choose an environment that would be conducive to their survival through the observation of nature and the universe. Kanyu, Kan, exploration, detective; Territory, territory. That is, the observation of astronomical geography.

    But then there was a person who was a little incorrect about Feng Shui, and combined Feng Shui with ghosts and gods to deceive people, which caused some bad effects. There are not many explanations of this book in modern times, and those who have read it and those who understand it are even rarer, so it is just some prejudice against him.

    Most of Fengshui's content is pseudoscience, and a little bit of it may be true science. I hope to talk about Feng Shui and not about the Book of Changes.

    It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the I Ching. It was imposed by post-scholars. You will know what is going on when you read the funeral scriptures. However, ordinary people don't seem to be able to see Guo Pu's real funeral book.

    First of all, Feng Shui does not belong to the scope of application of science, and naturally there is no such thing as pseudo-pseudo-science.

    Second, superstition means obsessive and unreasonable belief without specifically referring to a certain thing, and those scientific cultists blindly worship science can also be called superstition.

    Feng Shui is a concept and practice in traditional Chinese culture that emphasizes the influence of the geographical environment and the various forces of the universe on people's lives and fate. Emotional marriage, on the other hand, refers to the development and maintenance of emotional and marital relationships.

    While some believe that there is a relationship between Feng Shui and emotional marriage, such as improving the marital relationship by decorating the home environment, there is no scientific evidence to support these claims. Many claims about Feng Shui are based on traditional experience and superstition, and there is a lack of empirical research.

    Therefore, from a scientific point of view, the relationship between emotional marriage and Feng Shui needs to be supported by more research and evidence. In any case, though, the foundation for building and maintaining a good couple relationship is mutual respect, understanding, and support, qualities that are not affected by the handwheel geography and various forces.
