On the Influence of Yi Culture on Modern Art Design (5)

● Feng Shui Guides the Development of Chinese Classical Architecture Art

In the Yi culture, feng shui has a great influence on architectural art and garden art. The palaces and gardens that go to the royal family and the cottages that are down to the common folks are all very feng shui, and therefore have produced countless generations. The feng shui warlocks have also been handed down one after another in feng shui works. Not only pay attention to Yangzhai, a living house, but also pay attention to the tomb of the dead man. Thousand-year-old "Buddha Scripture" has become a magic weapon in the hands of "Yin and Yang Xian" (folk name of Feng Shui Warlock). In the Jin Dynasty, Guo Yan was promoted to be the originator of the Feng Shui family in the later days. Guo Xi explained to Feng Shui in his book “The Book of Funeral.” “Yi,” the air, the wind, the water, the water, and the ancients, the old people gathered. The Feng Shui family believes that the good or bad of the homestead or the cemetery of ancestors can, to some extent, lead to the home or family of the mourners and the welfare of future generations. Therefore, in the opposite, Fengshui’s family can estimate the good or bad of the family or the mourners by carefully observing the quality of the natural environment around the people’s homestead or cemetery. This is the result of the feng shui technique. law. Regardless of the non-scientific nature of this kind of feng shui's idea of ​​good and bad, in feng shui surgery, the idea of ​​choosing the best natural environment as the first important point can still be accepted by science.

Feng Shui surgery has not only appeared very early in Chinese history, but it has been circulated for a long time. According to legend, "The beginning of Feng Shui's geography, Gong Liu Xiangyinyang, Zhou Gongji 24th Bureau, Hanwang status system Wuzui surname, Guanyin system tabulate burial ground." At that time, in the management of the country, there were specialized bureaucrats to manage feng shui. In fact, at the end of the Warring States period, at least in the Qishi of the Qi and Yan Schools, the embryonic form of feng shui was already sprouted. "The Water Sutra and Easy Water" records the ruins of the Palace of the State of Yan State: "The west of Anshui City is located on the west side of the city, the south of the city is easy to water, the Chong Jun in the folder pond is high, the bank is deep and deep, about 100 steps, and there are two fishing platforms. "Oh, we look forward to each other, and we have a better view." It can be seen that the choice of building a palace to match the architectural aesthetics of landscapes has made considerable achievements in the warring states of Yan and other places.

The emperors are most concerned about feng shui, and it is said that Qin Shihuang believed very much Feng Shui. An alchemist said to him that Jinling had an affair and he would be the king in the future. Thus, in order to keep his country’s homeland, the Qin Shi Huang sent “Three thousand people in Zhuyi to chisel Fangshan, sparse Huai water to break the veins.” According to the feng shui family, when the ground pulse breaks down, feng shui is naturally destroyed, and the genius is gone. The king will not appear. When the last emperor of the Ming dynasty worshiped, he began a feng shui battle with Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising. When Li Zicheng's peasant uprisings had been shaken until the Ming Dynasty, Chongzheng sent someone to run to Shaanxi Mizhi to dig Li Zicheng's ancestral graves. He wanted to use the magic of feng shui to cut down Li Zicheng's peasant uprising army's rising anger. Li Zicheng also had the same feng shui view as Chongzhen. When his peasant uprising army captured the hometown of Zhu Yuanzhang's home in Fengyang, Anhui, Li Zicheng ordered the soldiers and a fire to destroy the imperial tombs of Chongzhen. As a result, due to the historical coincidence, Chongzhen had been ignoring coal mines and Li Zicheng had lost his life. However, the Qin Shi Huang who had broken Jinling land did not escape the fate of the Qin dynasty when he escaped from the Second World. He dug the Chongzhen of Li Zicheng’s ancestral graves and did not stop the peasant uprisings from storming the streets of Beijing. Li Zicheng, who had burnt the ancestral tomb of Chongzhen, did not The Dashun dynasty became the overlord of history.

Chiang Kai-shek was also superstitious about feng shui. In order to destroy the increasingly powerful Red Army as soon as possible, he ordered the Hunan warlord He Jian to go to Mao Zedong’s hometown, Lushan, and dig up Mao Zedong’s graves. Mao Zedong and the Communist Party did not learn Li Zicheng. After liberation, they also refurbished Chiang Kai-shek's ancestral graves. It is said that Chiang Kai-shek, who defeated Taiwan, once saw on the pictures taken by the U.S. invasion of China's reconnaissance planes that Jiang Jiazong's protection was so good, he filled with emotions, and he continued. However, Chiang Kai-shek, who had dug Mao Zedong's ancestral graves, was finally defeated by the masses of the people led by Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong, who had refurbished Jiang Jiazong’s clan, was still the greatest leader that the Chinese people most admired. Of course, if we go to the dregs, take the best of them, and regard feng shui as an ecological environment study on architecture, planning, and layout, it still has a certain positive significance in modern design.

The feng shui technique in ancient China has always been subject to the yin and yang elements, the heavenly land and the earthly branches and the Zhouyi gossip, that is, the Yi culture. "Book of Changes," said: "A yin and a yang said the road." "Laozi" said: "All things negative yin to hold yang, and gas that and." "Su asked yin and yang should be as big as" said More concrete: “Yin and Yang, the world, the road, everything, the parents of change, the beginning of life and death, the government of the gods.” Fengshui inside the yin and yang said, also comes from the first group Tai Chi diagram in "." Using the idea of ​​unity of yin and yang in the Yi-ology culture, correctly grasping the law of the opposite pole and accurately grasping the conditions for the transformation of yin and yang are very useful for architectural planning and garden layout. Everything, when it develops to the end, goes all the way. The so-called "when we climbed to noon and then walked away from the moon and light stars" is a vivid description of the law of the unity of opposites. The end of life is death, and the opposite of death is new life. It is this irresistible that the extreme change of the object, the change of the material life, the change of life and death, and the change of the yin and yang of the universe. The "Su-Yin-Yang-Yang Separation Theory" said: "Yin and Yang, the number can be ten, and the push can be 100. The number can be thousands, and the push can be 10,000. If the number is large, it cannot be counted, but it must be one." It is said that although there are many innumerable changes in the universe, there are only one essential point. This is the law of the unity of yin and yang.

The five elements are the material foundations that make up the universe. When exploring the mysteries of the universe, Yi Xue culture extended its tentacles to the most primitive and basic components of the material world and summed it up into five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, called the Five Elements. The five elements all have their own characteristics. "Book Hong Fan" is summarized as follows: "The water sewers run down, the fire swells, the wooden squire is straight, the gold smashes from the leather, and the soil smashes. The sewers are salty, and the sins are painful. Acid, from leather to singer, to make sweet." The universe is constantly moving, never ending, one side is the continuous biochemistry of life and material, while the other is the continuous extinction of life and material, life and death, change, can be attributed to the Five Elements Reciprocal phase g and yin and yang interactions. The five elements are: wood fire, fire, soil, gold, raw water, aquatic wood, reciprocating, inexhaustible; phase g is: Mu Ke soil, earth grams of water, water fire fire, fire Kejin, Jin Ke wood, still It is endless and endless. Among the five elements, I have students and students, and I have the understanding of bilateral relations. Since the Five Elements are the five basic elements of the material world, they must be inseparable from all things in the universe, and naturally they cannot cut off the connections between them. As part of the Yi-ology culture, feng shui surgery must also be inextricably linked with the Five Elements.

According to ancient legends, the Heavenly Land was invented by ancient wisdom. There are ten Heavenly Stems, followed by A, B, C, D, E, J, G, X, S, and X. There are twelve earthly branches, followed by Son, Ugly, Skull, Sorrow, Chen, Sorrow, Noon, and No. , Shen, 酉, 戌, 亥. The relative combination of ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches can count years, months, days, and times. This combination of rotation for a week, exactly sixty years, is called sixty. In feng shui surgery, in addition to the use of Ganzhi Ji, the most important thing is to combine the five elements of the dry support and the orientation, to explain some of the feng shui problems. Heavenly five elements of the property and position can be summarized in five sentences: East A, A, B, South, Ding Dinghuo, Central Wujituo, Western Ginxinjin, Northern Yishui. The five elements and position of the earthly support can be summarized as: 寅, 卯, 巳, 属, 午, 申, 酉, 亥, 亥, 子, 子, 辰, 丑, and 属. In the azimuth, since the twelve earthly branches divide each other's east, west, south and north directions, the position can be listed as an image, that is: the child is positive in the north, the afternoon is in the south, the dragon is positive, the earth is positive, and the ugly is positive. In the east of the east, the east is north and east is east, and the east is south east, the east is south east, the east is south east, the south is west, the west is south, the west is north, and the sea is west.

Because of so many arguments, coupled with many taboos in the world, feng shui surgery has become extremely complicated and mysterious in the hands of feng shui warlocks. However, the complexity and mystery are of no use in science. It is generally a deception trick of Feng Shui.

Although there are many sectarians in feng shui, there is only one method. That is to say, dragons, caves, sand, and water. "The Guanshi geography refers to the Mongolian dryness flowing through the veins," said: "The Yellow Emperor was buried in Qiaoshan, and in the south of the river, the veins were more than rivers from the accumulation of stones, and the others were rich and extensive. They buried in the vast sky and lived in the river. In the south, the veins flow over the river from Jing and Han." It is said that the Yellow Emperor and the Qiang were both buried in the dragon's veins and the rivers in the Fuze River. The ancient emperors paid special attention to the selection of dragons, caves, sand, and water for the mausoleum. In that year, Yongzheng was the one who inherited the past and revered in Kangxi and Qianlong. He once used the selected Dongfeng Jiufeng Chaoyang Mountain as the Shougong Palace, and later suddenly became paralyzed. He eventually chose Taining, Hebei, Yixian, which is more than 100 miles away from Dongling. As a place of long-term sleep after one hundred years, the mountain is for the Tailing. The Qing archives "Registration of the People's Daily" documented the handcuffs of Yongzheng at that time: "This place (refers to the Chaoyang Mountain of Jiufeng) is near to Xiaoling Mausoleum (Guizhou mausoleum), Jingling (Kangxi Mausoleum), and the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, and is proficient in people. Adding degrees, thinking that although the scale is large and the shape is not complete, the soil in the cave is also not suitable for use. According to the rule of the prince and the governor Gao Qisheng, the phase was taken to the Yongning Mountain Taiping in Yizhou. In the land of thousands of years, Shih-Kun gathered in the district, where the yin and yang meet, dragons, caves, sand, and water, no beauty is not accepted, the situation is rational, and Kuji is salty. With detailed descriptions and consultations on the soil of Kyrgyzstan, but with Xiaoling and Jingling, they went hundreds of miles away, and they were incongruous with the ancient imperial ceremony. The college graduate Jiuqing detailed the meeting and played." The Yongzheng River, which was exhausted by the Daqing River, was like all emperors.

What is dragon, hole, sand, water? That is to say, the feng shui treasures that have been chosen to live up to the accumulation of anger must be inferred in accordance with the four principles of "dragon", "hole", "sand ring" and "water hold". The so-called "Long Zhen" refers to the mountains that are angry and flowing. The feng shui technique uses the mountains as dragons, bringing the mountains up and down, and the meandering veins are called dragon veins. "Long Zhen points are true, false leave points will be false", to find the dragon is to acupuncture, acupuncture must find the dragon. The so-called "holes" refer to the location of the angry and condensed Ji. The place where the veins come to rest is the Longxue. As the saying goes: “Finding Dragons is easy to appoint points,” and “Buddha Scriptures” also has “three-year search for dragons and ten-year acupuncture points”. The so-called "sand ring" refers to the great natural environment where the dorsal side of the hole and the surrounding mountains overlap. The so-called "water hug" refers to the water in front of the hole. The Funeral Classic said: "Feng Shui's method is based on water. The Tibetan style is the next." In short, the technique of Xiangzhai (Yin and Yangzhai), "Long Zhen", "The Cave", "Sand Ring", " Water holds four principles, one of which cannot be less, and must be carried out sequentially. The arrangement of dragon, acupuncture points, sand, and water can be combined properly to make the gas accumulate without dissolving. Therefore, the ultimate goal of Xiang Feng Shui is to seek a good gas field, which is what we call today's environmental science.
Nowadays, the "fengshui fever" has risen all over the world, and the feng shui technique that has been quiet for more than 30 years in mainland China has also returned from overseas. However, we must have a calm scientific analysis of the mind. Do not think that foreign affairs are popular. The things of our ancestors are essential. . Because there are witchcraft wizards to deceive the public, coupled with people's confusion and hunger for the unknown world, so the feng shui technique spread in the community, science and superstition have been stirred together, making people really difficult to distinguish. If we think of it as a pure technology, then the core issue of feng shui is essentially to search for the site of the building, that is, to find the best living environment. As for the feng shui treasure land after death, it is really nonsense. For thousands of years, which emperor did not find a "feng shui treasure place", but which of the emperor's Jiangshan Yonggu, Bandai lasted? ! The ancients talked about time, place, and people. This is an extension of the theory of the Yi, the culture and the earth, the earth, and the human. They have a dialectical relationship between them. It is not advisable to push it toward the idealistic Jedi in geomancy.

British scientist Joseph Needham called ancient Chinese Feng Shui surgery "quasi-science." The so-called "quasi-science" is not a complete science, and it is not
