In the 4 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, geomantic omen, a traditional Chinese culture, has always been regarded as a forbidden area for feudal dross. However, among the cultural flowers in China, the ancient oriental geomantic omen has also been studied in academic circles, and there are still works published. Contemporary scholars study Feng Shui with an objective, scientific and knowledgeable attitude, thus making some discoveries and breakthroughs in their research. Some theories in geomantic omen have been applied to architectural design and environmental art design in colleges and universities.
In 1988, a report by China Xinhua News Agency in Tianjin on 24th finally opened the forbidden area of geomantic omen. The cable said: "Feng Shui is actually a comprehensive and systematic ancient architectural planning theory that integrates geography, ecology, landscape, architecture, ethics and aesthetics. He, architecture and gardening constitute the three pillars of China's ancient architectural theory. "
In some foreign countries and regions, the influence of geomantic omen is no less than that of China. In countries with great influence on China's traditional culture, such as Korea, Japan, Laos, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore, there are various activities about geomantic omen, which have evolved into a way to meet the spiritual needs of local people. Nowadays, geomantic omen is popular in Japan, America and European countries. In September, 1994, The New York Times reported the importance of Chinese geomantic omen in American architectural design.
China ancient geomantic omen, which has long been regarded as the dross of feudal superstition, is now introduced into architectural design research by Professor Wang Qiheng of Tianjin University. After years of in-depth and systematic research, Wang Qiheng believes that the core of geomantic omen is the essence of China's ancient architectural theory. The reason is that the geomantic omen has solved the eternal mystery of China ancient architecture in the overall treatment of space environment, the combination of human landscape and natural landscape, and the layout of large-scale buildings.
Recent time ratio is more influential, and there are works with higher academic level. It was published by China Federation of Literary and Art Circles in 1996 and written by Miao Mo and Hui Du. In 1997, Sun Yat-sen University published Yang Weizeng's Zhouyi and Housing Feng Shui. Academic papers include Hakka and Feng Shui by Professor Luo Yong, an expert in Hakka studies, and Social Analysis of Feng Shui Belief of Hakkas by Zhong Jiaxin. Zhong Jiaxin has a good exposition on the influence of Feng Shui on people's life style and spiritual world in Hakka society. Luo Yong elaborated on the emergence, development and spread of geomantic omen in his paper. Yang Weizeng believes that the quality of geomantic omen lies in whether people and the environment are in harmony, and whether the human body field and the environment field achieve a sympathetic balance. Hakka's belief in geomantic omen is a tradition with environmental awareness. Give full play to the knowledge advantages of comprehensive hybridization of ancient and modern multi-sciences, and solve the problem of geomantic omen scientifically. It not only uses the three theoretical essences of Zhouyi, the original of China culture: the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang, the restraint of the five elements, and the complementary harmony between man and nature. Modern scientific and philosophical theories, such as human science, human ecology, environmental geoscience, environmental medicine, environmental psychology, architectural aesthetics and environmental philosophy, should be used to dialectically analyze the traditional Feng Shui theory and discard it. Yang Weizeng's exposition summarizes modern people's understanding of geomantic omen.
China's theory of "geomantic omen" is contrary to the theory of "nature dominates thoughts" in western European countries. The essence of geomantic omen is the knowledge of human's choice and adaptation to the living environment on the basis of environmental induction. Because human's requirement for geomantic omen is the sympathetic balance between human field and environmental field, people should be integrated with heaven and earth. The core of geomantic omen is that "the natural environment can change people's thoughts and minds and people's lives". The theory of "geomantic omen" requires that when building houses and graves, we must consider that they are in harmony with the surrounding natural forms and with nature. The main reason is that people don't dominate nature, but people live with nature. It shows that Hakka's "Feng Shui" belief is a tradition with environmental awareness. If we simply look at the theory of "Feng Shui" from this point, it is also a feasible idea in modern times.
Nowadays, in towns and some economically developed areas, with the spread of modern civilization, some people still believe in geomantic omen, only in other forms. Calendars containing knowledge of geomantic omen are very popular in bookstores, and some people check calendars to see auspicious days for weddings, funerals and weddings. When building a house, some people don't verbally say that they want to find a place with good feng shui, but in fact they always try their best to find a place with good terrain to build a house. There are also some people who eat the "imperial grain" of the country, and even pay attention to the geographical location of the office for the sake of career success. Such things are quite ridiculous, but in fact they can show that geomantic omen, an ancient culture, is deeply rooted in the spiritual world and life of Hakka people.
Because Feng Shui has a reasonable core, it can last forever. In today's society, the geographical environment of a place is related to the value and price of real estate to a certain extent. After we understand the essence of Feng Shui and its influence on people, we can consciously and scientifically obtain good Feng Shui to use. Through the knowledge of geomantic omen, we can choose a reasonable location to build a house, and obtain a satisfactory and ideal living environment through the layout and decoration of houses and rooms to meet our own needs. Make you live in a new living environment, make your body healthy, your family happy and help your career succeed.
The ancient geomantic omen has its reasonable and scientific quality components. We should use the method of "sublation" to make the past serve the present and make the useful things in the ancient geomantic omen serve modern people and benefit mankind. Modern people's understanding of geomantic omen should not only carry forward Chinese traditional culture, but also get rid of the dirt of feudal superstition. It should be a reasonable requirement for modern people to use reasonable theories in geomantic omen to serve people.
