(一) Basic understanding of Feng Shui
We have been trying hard to bring the knowledge of Feng Shui back to its academic status. Why do we want to do this? It is nothing more than because the society we are in is actually calling such a good academic system the skill of the street booths, and does not recognize the academic status of this technology. Why is this so? Since the Qing Emperor Qianlong, feng shui has become a tool for the use of the singer, forming a situation dominated by the culture of the apprenticeship, there is no possibility of progress, and the status has been declining over time, how can there be in this case? Academic status can be said; in addition, in the academic world, no institution can support Feng Shui. This scholarship is based on the academic world, and of course it is not recognized by the academic community.
In view of this, Dr. Chen Yikui set up a university and a college to study this academic, did not expect this to exert a great influence, which actually affected the establishment of the funeral research institute at Nanhua University in Chiayi. A feng shui course associated with funeral was opened. After the course was reported to the Ministry of Education, the unexpected Ministry of Education approved it. The Feng Shui course can also take formal credits. It was officially opened in April of that year and was hosted by Dr. Chen Yikui. Feng Shui came here finally entered the academic field formerly.
Dr. Chen Yikui has always stressed that the knowledge of Feng Shui must be based on academics. Everyone believes that the foundation of academics should be based on the Book of Changes. Now people all over the world only know that there is a Book of Changes, and they don’t know what the Book of Changes is. Therefore, the abstract Yijing should be substantive, because foreign countries only agree with the essence. Things, such as the monk, are abstract concepts. To be substantive, people must be monks.
Explain the Book of Changes first, and then everyone will understand how the entire Book of Changes is expressed. The whole basic theory of Feng Shui is "human existence and life". In fact, it is only like this. Don't be too sacred and thought it was magic!
There are only two major categories of human beings: men and women. Now we must push back the essence to the abstract concept, and regard the very substantial human beings as Tai Chi. What is Tai Chi? It is yin and yang, and it is also the meaning of men and women; human beings are Tai Chi, and there are men and women. In theory, there is yang in the yin and yin in the yang. Does the man contain a woman? The answer is yes, because the sperm has X and Y chromosomes, there is no way to give birth without a man; then a woman can also give birth to a man, because she is with a man, so she can give birth to a man, and she can also give birth with a woman, this is called "the yin contains yang, the yang has yin", and the theory of the Book of Changes is like this.
Next, explain the connotation of feng shui. Human life activities can be divided into two series of survival and life: survival is the activity of the body, and life is the spirit. In terms of survival, for example, there is a man and a woman holding an item, thinking about how to work, this is called survival, survival can be divided into several parts to discuss, the first is the general environment, anyone on the earth the environment has different living conditions.
The next one is food. How do you survive the entire environment on earth? If you are in the Arctic Circle, you must learn the lifestyle of the Eskimo to survive. This is Feng Shui, Feng Shui is as simple as that! And everyone does not understand this. If you want to survive in any different environment, you have to adapt to the local environment, including food, so you will live well in the local area.
Let's talk about life again. For example, someone is holding a chair and standing there to do something. It is called physiology. If you sit there and think about it, it is called psychology. It is very important that in any environment, if the physiological state is bad, I don't believe you can conquer anyone.
Let's talk about the whole survival problem of the environment. There are two types of environment which are mountains and rivers in the environment. The mountains will affect the direction of the wind. For example, when the typhoon hits the Central Mountain Range will turn. Therefore, the wind of Feng Shui is dominated by mountains, and the mountains are called dragons in the Yin House. The water is dominated by rivers. In a range of places, the mountains and rivers form a very great alluvial plain. The theory of human feng shui is based on the mutual relationship between mountains and water. For example, somewhere in the mountains will occur. And the formation of the wind, in a certain position of the river will be some kind of water (referring to the wind and water), according to the living environment knowledge developed between the mountains and rivers in a range of environment and human survival is Feng Shui
Someone once asked Dr. Chen Yikui: Is the Yin House theory available to humans all over the world? Dr. Chen Yikui said that this is not the case. For example, where there are no mountains and no rivers where the Eskimos live, how can they be buried? In addition, why do the Eskimos do not have leaders? Because you can't get the chi, and because there is no river, you are poor, if you don't catch fish, you don't have money, so you want to be rich and you have to immigrate to other places.
In addition to the formation of alluvial plains and the four ancient civilizations, according to historical records, archaeological speculation, the four major civilizations five or six thousand years ago, all produced on the alluvial plains, like the Egyptian civilization is in the Nile basin is produced. Babylon is in the Euphrates River Basin, India is in the Ganges River, China is in the Yellow River, and the four ancient civilizations all produce alluvial plains that are alluvial in the rivers and mountains. All cultures are such origins. Fengshui culture is the most basic human being environmental culture, then why is environmental culture and food culture intertwined?
Environmental Culture will produce different animals and plants, will produce different human food through various animals and plants, different alluvial plain produce different foods, will produce the plain uniquely human characteristic, another point of view human beings in a certain environment and eat local food to survive . This is an important connotation of Feng Shui.
Finally, to make a conclusion, feng shui can not dominate all of humanity, all humanity is leading the presence or absence of feng shui; is not letting you lead FengShui, so how humans can be, that is not possible. We can dominate feng shui, how to make a human in certain way, only three things: the first is to make you wise, then make you very healthy second, third, let your life live a little bit longer, so that if you have health and wise, plus you work very hard then you are likely to succeed.
