    Feng Shui, to put it simply, is a science that accounts for the good fortune of the house and the burial place. It has many other names, such as Kanyushu, Qingwushu, Xiangdishu, Qingbaoshu, geography and so on, among which the most famous nicknames are Kanyushu and Qingwushu. The word "Feng Shui" comes from the "Book of Burial" written by Guo Pu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the original text is:

    The mourner, by the anger also. The qi is dispersed by the wind, and the boundary water is stopped. The ancients gathered to make it not disperse, and the line made it stop, so it was called feng shui.

    Meng Kang of the Three Kingdoms period commented on "The Biography of Hanshu Yangxiong", saying: "Kanyu, the name of the gods, the person who makes the book of the house." That is, "Kanyu" is the name of a deity.

    The term "Qing Wu" refers to another Feng Shui patriarch, Qing Wuzi. This person's background is a mystery, and there are different theories. "Old Tang Dynasty Book Chronicles" records that Qingwuzi was a Xiangdi family in the Han Dynasty, and wrote three volumes of "Xiangzuka Book", which is popular in the world.

    Curse is the magic of language to achieve the purpose of harming the other party. The most common form is face-to-face cursing "no good death", "a thousand cuts", and so on. More often than not, the purpose of witchcraft is achieved by cursing each other's names.

    The Dai people have a kind of "Fangluo" witchcraft, the purpose of which is to provoke the relationship between other people's husbands and wives and get involved themselves. The practice is to take two pieces of bamboo from the fence of the couple's cemetery, and engrave "You two have long thorns on your chest, you can't hug each other, you can only look at each other like across the river", and then put them under the other party's bamboo building, thinking that the husband and wife will lose harmony within three days. In the Han and Manchu areas of Northeast China, there used to be a curse of steaming cats, if the lost person found out that someone had stolen their belongings and refused to admit it, the lost person would write the thief's birthday and name on a piece of paper, and put it in a steamer with a cat to steam.

    The cat struggled and screamed in the steamer, and the loser cursed the thief to die like a cat. In order to harm people, there are also means such as Gu control.

But there is no need to ask all of them, it is said that the powerful Guan Fu Po does not ask any questions at all. After that, Guan will summon spirits until the soul possesses her, also known as "Shangchao".

    When possessed by the Yin Spirit, Guan Deceased will have some special manifestations, such as rolling her eyes, trembling and twitching her body, making a retching-like sound, and so on. When it returns to normal, the Yin Spirit will be completely possessed, and it will be possible to communicate with the relatives present. The deceased woman will talk to her relatives in the identity, tone, and tone of the deceased, and can call the names of her relatives and know what happened in the family after the deceased's death.

    There are two types of soul-summoning, namely, the soul of the recruiter (referred to as the "soul of admission") and the soul of the dead (referred to as the "soul of the dead"). The soul of the recruiter is: for example, the child cries inexplicably or suddenly becomes unconscious, and the folk believe that it is caused by the child's "yang energy" is too weak, and the soul is "out of place" or lost, which requires inviting a master to summon the soul, commonly known as "calling the soul".

    Chinese traditional culture has a history of thousands of years and has a long history, and there are many essence ingredients in it, which is a place where we should all study carefully now. What I admire most is the culture of filial piety in traditional Chinese culture.

    Filial piety to the elderly and respect for teachers and elders are topics that will never go out of fashion, and the culture of filial piety is deeply engraved in the hearts of Chinese, does not need to be specially cultivated to exist in the consciousness of the Chinese, and now filial piety to parents and elders is not bound by the national legal system, but people will still silently abide by it. This is enough to show that the culture of filial piety is deeply hidden in the hearts of Chinese and has a profound impact on our words and deeds.

    At the same time, the Chinese pay attention to karma and reincarnation. Everyone has the day when they are old, respect the old man and be filial to the old man when they are young, so that they will not be abandoned by the younger generation when they are old. WhileThe culture of filial piety can promote harmony between generations, the elders love the younger generations, and the younger generations are filial to the elders, forming a harmonious family, so as to ensure the safety of the family and the country.

    The inheritance and development of filial piety culture can promote social harmony. The elderly are a vulnerable group in society, and everyone adheres to the culture of filial piety in their hearts and is filial to the elderly, so the lives of the elderly will be greatly improved. It is precisely because of the difference in the understanding of filial piety culture between China and the Western world that China's social security system for the elderly is more humane than that of the West, and will pay attention to enriching the spiritual life of the elderly, which can promote the harmonious and stable development of society.

    In addition, Chinese culture is inherently diverse, and due to the vast territory of our country, it is inevitable that there will be cultural differences among the people scattered in different regions. Some of them are mainly agricultural, some are mainly marine**, and some advocate force, but so many cultures have a unified name, that is, Chinese culture. Regional cultural differences are inevitable in Chinese culture, and diversity has become a distinctive feature of Chinese culture

    In the course of thousands of years of development, no matter how many wars and turmoil our country has experienced, it will eventually return to the situation of great unification. No matter which dynasty it is, Chinese culture has been deeply engraved into the bones of the people of the whole country, even if the appearance has changed, its essence has not changed, and it is under the influence of Chinese culture to continue to promote the process of history. This phenomenon is mainly due to the strong vitality and absorption capacity of Chinese culture, because of this characteristic, Chinese culture has a long history.
