Feng Shui Introductory Knowledge - The Origin and Development of Feng Shui.

1. The origin of Feng Shui:

Feng Shui ** is a summary of some experiences of the land summarized by human beings under the instinct of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, as well as some common influences on certain terrains and layouts or a certain probability of leading to certain consequences.

Strictly speaking, Feng Shui originates from the moment when an animal is born, because animals have the instinct to choose a place to live, transforming themselves and their surroundings, rather than simply surviving the fittest and escaping the unfit. Since the time of human evolution, Feng Shui theory has actually taken a rudimentary form, and it has been possible to choose to transform the dwelling (cave dwelling) according to the changes in the four seasons of cold and heat.

Second, the development of Feng Shui:

1. At the beginning of the era of human civilization, tribes began to live in groups and cities and villages, the original theory was refined, and the idea of successive heaven and eight trigrams was integrated, and most of the feng shui at this time was mastered by the ruling class, and began to be used for the location and layout of tribes, palaces, cities, villages, and mausoleums, and by the Warring States Period, Feng Shui had developed into an independent doctrine and began to spread in small quantities among the people.

2. After the development of the Qin and Han dynasties, Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty defined feng shui for the first time in his book "Book of Burial", and also expounded for the first time the two main points of feng shui: "getting water is the best" and "Tibetan wind gathers qi". Since then, Feng Shui has been completely divided into two systems, Yin House Feng Shui and Yang House Feng Shui, and since these two systems did not diverge in the early days, their theories have many similarities.

3. Later, Yang Yunsong fled with the "Book of Burial" to avoid military disasters, all the way to Ganzhou, during which he buried the graves of others many times to save the poor, and wrote a lot, mostly Yin House Feng Shui theory. At this point, Feng Shui was widely spread among the people and began to divide into many schools, which had different understandings of the classics, resulting in many conflicts between the theories of each school.

4. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties and modern times, it has been a period of feng shui flooding, and many professional feng shui masters have mixed in many superstitious elements in order to collect money, and they have been deceived everywhere, and there are very few people who really study academics.

Since the dawn of human beings, we have been learning how to live with nature. As early as in the primitive tribes, there began to be a hazy sense of feng shui, and the place of residence and the cemetery and the place where the animal remains were abandoned should be distinguished, and this division should be the prototype of the meaning of the yang house and the yin house of feng shui in later generations. During the tribal period, the concept of orientation was already known, and the relationship between sunshine and wind and cold was understood, and "changing from water to sun" had become the goal of homestead site selection.

During the Yin Shang period, divination was prevalent, and everything had to be decided. King Yin wanted to build a city in the northeast of Luzhi, and he asked many times: He is auspicious when he tells Tan, where is auspicious, and the turtle is not only used for divination houses, but also for state affairs. We can boldly say that Yin Zhou is the gestation period of Feng Shui.
