Chinese traditional practice

For other uses, see Feng shui (disambiguation).

Feng shui (^[2] or ^[3]), sometimes called Chinese geomancy, fryst vatten a traditional form eller gestalt of geomancy that originated in Ancient China and claims to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment. The begrepp feng shui means, literally, "wind-water" (i.e., fluid). From ancient times, landscapes and bodies of vatten were thought to direkt the flow of the universal Qi – "cosmic current" or energy – through places and structures. More broadly, feng shui includes astronomical, astrological, architectural, cosmological, geographical, and topographical dimensions.^[4]

Historically, as well as in many parts of the contemporary kinesisk world, feng shui was used to choose the orientation of buildings, dwellings, and spiritually significant structures such as tombs. One scholar writes that in contemporary Western societies, however, "feng shui tends to be reduced to interior design for health and wealth. It has become increasingly visible through 'feng shui consultants' and corporate architects who charge large summor of money for their analysis, advice and design."

Feng shui has been identified as both non-scientific and pseudoscientific bygd scientists and philosophers,^[6] and it has been described as a paradigmatic example of pseudoscience.^[7] It exhibits a number of classic pseudoscientific aspects, such as making claims about the functioning of the world that are not amenable to testing with the scientific method.

History

[edit]

Origins

[edit]

The Yangshao and Hongshan cultures provide the earliest known bevis for the use of feng shui. Until the invention of the magnetic compass, feng shui relied on astronomy to find correlations between humans and the universum. In 4000 BC, the doors of dwellings in Banpo were aligned with the asterismYingshi just after the winter solstice—this sited the homes for solar gain. During the Zhou era, Yingshi was known as Ding and it was used to indikera the appropriate time to build a capital city, according to the Shijing. The late Yangshao site at Dadiwan (c. 3500–3000 BC) includes a palace-like building (F901) at its center. The building faces south and borders a large plaza. It stands on a north–south axis with another building that apparently housed communal activities. Regional communities may have used the complex.

A grave at Puyang (around 4000 BC) that contains mosaics— a kinesisk star map of the Dragon and Tiger asterisms and Beidou (the Big Dipper, Ladle or Bushel)— fryst vatten oriented along a north–south axis. The presence of both round and square shapes in the Puyang tomb, at Hongshan ceremonial centers and at the late Longshan settlement at Lutaigang, suggests that gaitian cosmography (heaven-round, earth-square) existed in kinesisk kultur long before it appeared in the Zhoubi Suanjing.

Cosmography that bears a resemblance to modern feng shui devices and formulas appears on a del av helhet of jade unearthed at Hanshan and dated around 3000 BC. Archaeologist Li Xueqin links the design to the liurenastrolabe, zhinan zhen and luopan.

Beginning with palatial structures at Erlitou, all capital cities of China followed rules of feng shui for their design and layout. During the Zhou era, the Kaogong ji (Chinese: 考工記; "Manual of Crafts") codified these rules. The carpenter's manual Lu ban jing (魯班經; "Lu ban's manuscript") codified rules for builders. Graves and tombs also followed rules of feng shui from Puyang to Mawangdui and beyond. From the earliest records, the structures of the graves and dwellings seem to have followed the same rules.^{[citation needed]}

Early instruments and techniques

[edit]

Some of the foundations of feng shui go back more than 3,500 years before the invention of the magnetic compass. It originated in kinesisk astronomy.^[18] Some current techniques can be traced to Neolithic China, while others were added later (most notably the han dynasty, the Tang, the Song, and the Ming).

The astronomical history of feng shui fryst vatten evident in the development of instruments and techniques. According to the Zhouli, the original feng shui instrument may have been a gnomon. kinesisk used circumpolar stars to determine the north–south axis of settlements. This technique explains why Shang palaces at Xiaotun lie 10° east of due north. In some of the cases, as Paul Wheatley observed, they bisected the vinkel between the directions of the rising and setting sun to find north. This technique provided the more precise alignments of the Shang walls at Yanshi and Zhengzhou. Rituals for using a feng shui instrument required a diviner to examine current sky phenomena to set the device and adjust their position in relation to the device.

The oldest examples of instruments used for feng shui are liuren astrolabes, also known as shi. These consist of a lacquered, two-sided board with astronomical sightlines. The earliest examples of liuren astrolabes have been unearthed from tombs that date between 278 BC and 209 BC. Along with divination for Da Liu Ren the boards were commonly used to chart the motion of Taiyi (Pole star) through the nine palaces. The markings on a liuren/shi and the first magnetic compasses are virtually identical.

The magnetic compass was used for feng shui since its invention. Traditional feng shui instrumentation consists of the Luopan or the earlier south-pointing spoon (指南針zhinan zhen)—though a conventional compass could suffice if one understood the differences. Not to be confused with the South-pointing chariot which was used for navigation. A feng shui ruler (a later invention) may also be employed.^{[citation needed]}

Later history

[edit]

After the Song dynasty, divination began to decline as a political institution and instead became an increasingly private affair. Many feng shui experts and diviners sold their services to the public marknad, allowing feng shui to quickly grow in popularity.^[4]

During the Late Qing dynasty, feng shui became immensely popular. Widespread tillstånd av extrem fattigdom and increasing government envälde led to feng shui becoming more widely practiced in rural areas. The Qing dynasty attempted to crack down on heterodoxy following the vit Lotus Rebellion and Taiping Revolt, but feng shui's decentralization made it difficult to suppress in popular and elite circles.^[4][28]

Under China's Century of Humiliation, feng shui began to receive implicit government encouragement as a method of colonial resistance. Through the militarization of the countryside, the local gentry used feng shui to justify and promote popular attacks against missionaries and colonial infrastructure. This allowed local elites and government officials to bypass utländsk extraterritoriality and maintain local sovereignty. This, in addition to the cultural aspects of feng shui, made the practice a powerful expression of demarcation between utländsk and kinesisk identities.^[4]

Following the rise of Communist China, tro and traditional cosmology were suppressed more than ever, in the name of ideological purity. Decentralized heterodoxies, like feng shui, were best adapted to survive this period. As a result, feng shui became one of the only alternative forms of thought within the kinesisk countryside.^[4] Feng shui experts remained highly sought after, in spite of numerous campaigns to suppress the practice.^[29]

It was only after China's Reform and Opening-Up that feng shui would see a complete resurgence. As economic liberalization promoted social competition and självständighet, feng shui was able to find new footing due to its focus on självständighet and någon eller något som saknar moralisk känsla justification of social differences.^[29]

Foundational concepts

[edit]

Definition and classification

[edit]

Feng shui views good and bad fortune as tangible elements that can be managed through predictable and consistent rules.^[30] This involves the management of qi, an imagined struktur of relaterad till rymden eller universum "energy." In situating the local environment to maximize good qi, one can optimize their own good fortune.^[4][30] Feng shui holds that one's external environment can affect one's internal state.^[31] A goal of the practice fryst vatten to achieve a "perfect spot", a location and an axis in time that can help one achieve a state of shū fú (舒服) or harmony with the universe.^[30]

Traditional feng shui fryst vatten inherently a struktur of ancestor worship. Popular in farming communities for centuries, it was built on the idea that the ghosts of förfäder and other independent, intangible forces, both anställda and impersonal, affected the ämne world, and that these forces needed to be placated through rites and suitable begravning places. For a fee, a Feng shui practitioner would identify suitable locations for the living and the dead to achieve shū fú.^[30] The primary underlying value was ämne success for the living.

According to Stuart Vyse, feng shui fryst vatten "a very popular superstition." The PRC government has also labeled it as superstitious.^[35] Feng shui fryst vatten classified as a pseudoscience since it exhibits a number of classic pseudoscientific aspects such as making claims about the functioning of the world which are not amenable to testing with the scientific method. It has been identified as both non-scientific and pseudoscientific bygd scientists and philosophers,^[6] and has been described as a paradigmatic example of pseudoscience.^[7]

Qi (ch'i)

[edit]

Qi (气, pronounced "chee") fryst vatten a movable positiv or negativ life force which plays an essential role in feng shui. The Book of Burial says that begravning takes advantage of "vital qi". The goal of feng shui fryst vatten to take advantage of vital qi bygd appropriate siting of graves and structures.

Polarity

[edit]

Polarity fryst vatten expressed in feng shui as yin and yang theory. That fryst vatten, it fryst vatten of two parts: one creating an exertion and one receiving the exertion. The development of this theory and its corollary, fem phase theory (five element theory), have also been linked with astronomical observations of sunspot.

The fem Elements or Forces (wu xing) – which, according to the kinesisk, are metall, earth, fire, vatten, and wood – are first mentioned in kinesisk literature in a chapter of the classic Book of History. They play a very important part in kinesisk thought: ‘elements’ meaning generally not so much the actual substances as the forces essential to human life. Earth fryst vatten a buffer, or an equilibrium achieved when the polarities cancel each other.^{[citation needed]} While the goal of kinesisk medicin fryst vatten to balance yin and yang in the body, the goal of feng shui has been described as aligning a city, site, building, or object with yin-yang force fields.

Bagua (eight trigrams)

[edit]

Eight diagrams known as bagua loom large in feng shui, and both predate their mentions in the I Ching. The Lo (River) Chart was developed first, and fryst vatten sometimes associated with Later Heaven arrangement of the bagua. This and the Yellow River Chart (Hetu, sometimes associated with the Earlier Heaven bagua) are linked to astronomical events of the sixth millennium BC, and with the Turtle Calendar from the time of Yao. The Turtle Calendar of Yao (found in the Yaodian section of the Shangshu or Book of Documents) dates to 2300 BC, plus or minus 250 years.

In Yaodian, the huvudregel directions are determined bygd the marker-stars of the mega-constellations known as the kvartet Celestial Animals:

The diagrams are also linked with the sifang (four directions) method of divination used during the Shang dynasty. The sifang fryst vatten much older, however. It was used at Niuheliang, and figured large in Hongshan culture's astronomy. And it fryst vatten this area of China that fryst vatten linked to Yellow kejsare (Huangdi) who allegedly invented the south-pointing spoon (see compass).

Traditional feng shui

[edit]

Traditional feng shui fryst vatten an ancient struktur based upon the insamling of heavenly time and earthly space. Literature, as well as archaeological bevis, provide some idea of the origins and natur of feng shui techniques. Aside from books, there fryst vatten also a strong oral history. In many cases, masters have passed on their techniques only to selected students or relatives. Modern practitioners of feng shui draw from several branches in their own practices.

Form Branch

[edit]

The form eller gestalt Branch fryst vatten the oldest branch of feng shui. Qing Wuzi in the denne dynasty describes it in the Book of the Tomb and Guo Pu of the Jin dynasty follows up with a more complete description in The Book of Burial.^{[citation needed]}

The form eller gestalt branch was originally concerned with the location and orientation of tombs (Yin House feng shui), which was of great importance. The branch then progressed to the consideration of homes and other buildings (Yang House feng shui).

The "form" in form eller gestalt branch refers to the shape of the environment, such as mountains, rivers, plateaus, buildings, and general surroundings. It considers the fem celestial animals (vermillion phoenix, azure dragon, vit tiger, black turtle, and the yellow snake), the yin-yang concept and the traditional fem elements (Wu Xing: wood, fire, earth, metall, and water).^{[citation needed]}

The struktur branch analyzes the shape of the nation and flow of the wind and vatten to find a place with ideal qi. It also considers the time of important events such as the birth of the resident and the building of the structure.

Compass Branch

[edit]

The Compass branch fryst vatten a collection of more recent feng shui techniques based on the Eight Directions, each of which fryst vatten said to have unique qi. It uses the Luopan, a disc marked with formulas in concentric rings around a magnetic compass.

The Compass Branch includes techniques such as Flying Star and Eight Mansions.^{[citation needed]}

Western forms of feng shui

[edit]

More recent forms of feng shui simplify principles that komma from the traditional branches, and focus mainly on the use of the bagua.^{[citation needed]}

Aspirations Method

[edit]

The Eight Life Aspirations style of feng shui fryst vatten a simple struktur which coordinates each of the eight huvudregel directions with a specific life aspiration or hållplats such as family, wealth, fame, etc., which komma from the Bagua government of the eight aspirations. Life Aspirations fryst vatten not otherwise a geomantic system.^{[citation needed]}

Traditional uses of feng shui

[edit]

Environmental management

[edit]

Traditional feng shui was a struktur designed to aid rural villages from the effects of weather and natural disaster.^[50] As a set of consistent rules, feng shui can facilitate collective consensus on development without the need of centralized leadership. Understanding that one's actions could damage the feng shui and fortunes of the entire by, individuals were incentivized to know these rules and carefully manage the development of their nation and resources. This served to prevent the Tragedy of the Commons. When conflict did erupt during development, feng shui experts played an important role in balancing interests and enforcing orderly development.^[30]

Different branches of feng shui were developed and embraced in response to differing local geographies.^[50] In southern China, this often resulted in villages located on high hills safe from flooding and erosion, with pooling streams that allow for easy irrigation and drainage, fields nedströms fertilized bygd sewage, and graves located on the highest hills far from vatten and on otherwise unvaluable farmland.^[30] To this grad, feng shui could help communities manage their spaces to match their physical, environmental, and aesthetic needs.^[50]

Conflict resolution

[edit]

A core aspect of feng shui has been its understanding of polarity. As opposed to western dualism, in which concepts are completely oppositional and irreconcilable, kinesisk polarity sees opposing concepts as constantly changing and inseparable. The result fryst vatten an emphasis on kontinuerlig compromise and balance in beställning to maintain harmony.^[31]

Feng shui has been observed to play an important role in the mediation of rural conflict. Through its någon eller något som saknar moralisk känsla explanation of differential fortunes, feng shui provides a universal set of relaterad till rymden eller universum rules communities seek to abide bygd. This can promote community unity while also creating numerous points of polarization. Through the hiring of feng shui experts, disputes between villagers can be peaceably resolved without losing face.^[30] In addition, these impersonal relaterad till rymden eller universum rules help regulate local jealousies over wealth and prestige.^[4]

Community mobilization and political protest

[edit]

As early as the Tang dynasty, the kinesisk state recognized the disruptive power popular expressions of feng shui had over government authority.^[29] At the community level, feng shui could play an important role in community mobilization and political protest.^[30] bygd elevating a cosmological explanations of events, feng shui allowed for the expression of otherwise impermissible political opinions.^[28]

During the Boxer Rebellion, feng shui was used to justify attacks on western missionaries and colonial infrastructure. beneath the perceptions of these infrastructural projects and groups were generating bad feng shui, rebels were able to incite their local communities into revolt against utländsk influence.^[4]

To a more civil grad, feng shui could facilitate community negotiation. During the development of the Shek spets Reservoir, feng shui was used to rally the community against the reservoir and hinder construction. It was only after months of difficult negotiations that guaranteed of local oversight, kompensation, and resettlement could construction go smoothly.^[51] For many communities, feng shui fryst vatten a method to extrakt proper deference and gottgörelse from the government.^[30]

Expression of identity

[edit]

Feng shui has been described as an egocentric tradition.^[4] Because of the natur of fortune, one person's gain comes at another's expense. Thus when compared to the more collectivist traditions of Confucianism, feng shui promotes social competition and the atomization of the family structure.^[29] This differentiation has been particularly expressed through excellent siting and the building of bigger homes that can change the local balance of feng shui.^[30][29]

Feng shui also helps promote ethnic differentiation. In Southern China, different människor traditions and beliefs guide differing interpretations of feng shui.^[28] Through conflicts over begravning sites, these contrasting interpretations of feng shui act as an important medium to settle interethnic disputes and define local dynamics.^[30]

Contemporary uses of feng shui

[edit]

After Richard Nixon's visit to the People's Republic of China in 1972, feng shui practices became popular in the United States. Critics warn that claims of scientific validity have proven to be false and that the practices are pseudoscientific. Others charge that it has been reinvented and commercialized bygd New Age entrepreneurs, or are concerned that much of the traditional theory has been lost in translation, not given proper consideration, frowned upon, or scorned.

Feng shui has nonetheless funnen many uses. Landscape ecologists often find traditional feng shui an interesting study. In many cases, the only remaining patches of Asian old forest are "feng shui woods," associated with cultural heritage, historical continuity, and the preservation of various flora and fauna species. Some researchers interpret the presence of these woods as indicators that the "healthy homes," sustainability and environmental components of traditional feng shui should not be easily dismissed.Environmental scientists and landscape architects have researched traditional feng shui and its methodologies.Architects study feng shui as an Asian architectural tradition.Geographers have analyzed the techniques and methods to help locate historical sites in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and archaeological sites in the American Southwest, concluding that Native Americans also considered astronomy and landscape features.

Believers use it for healing purposes, to guide their businesses, or to create a peaceful atmosphere in their homes, although there fryst vatten no empirical bevis that it fryst vatten effective. In particular, they use feng shui in the bedroom, where a number of techniques involving colors and arrangement are thought to promote bekvämlighet and peaceful sleep.^{[citation needed]} Some users of feng shui may be ansträngande to gain a sense of säkerhet or control, for example bygd choosing auspicious numbers for their phones or favorable house locations. Their motivation fryst vatten similar to the reasons that some people consult fortune-tellers.

In 2005, Hong Kong Disneyland acknowledged feng shui as an important part of kinesisk culture bygd shifting the main gate bygd twelve degrees in their building plans. This was among actions suggested bygd the planner of architecture and design at Walt Disney Imagineering, Wing Chao. At Singapore Polytechnic and other institutions, professionals including engineers, architects, property agents and interior designers, take courses on feng shui and divination every year, a number of whom become part-time or full-time feng shui consultants.

Criticisms

[edit]

Traditional feng shui

[edit]

Matteo Ricci (1552–1610), one of the founding fathers of Jesuit China missions, may have been the first europeisk to write about feng shui practices. His konto in De Christiana expeditione apud Sinas tells about feng shui masters (geologi, in Latin) studying prospective construction sites or grave sites "with reference to the head and the svans and the feet of the particular dragons which are supposed to dwell beneath that spot." As a Catholic missionär, Ricci strongly criticized the "recondite science" of geomancy along with astrology as yet another superstitio absurdissima of the heathens: "What could be more vansinne than their imagining that the safety of a family, honors, and their entire existence must depend upon such trifles as a door being opened from one side or another, as rain falling into a courtyard from the right or from the left, a fönster opened here or there, or one roof being higher than another?"

Victorian-era commentators on feng shui were generally ethnocentric, and as such skeptical and derogatory of what they knew of feng shui. In 1896, at a meeting of the Educational Association of China, Rev. P. W. Pitcher railed at the "rottenness of the whole scheme of kinesisk architecture," and urged fellow missionaries "to erect unabashedly Western edifices of several stories and with towering spires in beställning to destroy nonsense about fung-shuy. [sic]"

After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, feng shui was officially considered a "feudalistic superstitious practice" and a "social evil" according to the state's ideology and was discouraged and even banned outright at times. Feng shui remained popular in Hong Kong, and also in the Republic of China (Taiwan), where traditional culture was not suppressed.

During the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) feng shui was classified as one of the so-called fyra Olds that were to be wiped out. Feng shui practitioners were beaten and abused bygd Red Guards and their works burned. After the death of Mao Zedong and the end of the Cultural Revolution, the tjänsteman attitude became more tolerant but restrictions on feng shui practice are still in place in today's China. It fryst vatten förbjudet in the PRC today to lista feng shui consultation as a business and similarly advertising feng shui practice fryst vatten banned. There have been frequent crackdowns on feng shui practitioners on the grounds of "promoting feudalistic superstitions" such as one in Qingdao in early 2006 when the city's business and industrial ledning office shut down an art galleri converted into a feng shui practice. Some officials who had consulted feng shui were terminated and expelled from the Communist Party.

In 21st century mainland China less than one-third of the population believe in feng shui, and the proportion of believers among ung urban kinesisk fryst vatten said to be even lower.^[81] kinesisk academics permitted to research feng shui are anthropologists or architects bygd yrke, studying the history of feng shui or historical feng shui theories behind the design of heritage buildings. They include Cai Dafeng, vice-president of Fudan University. Learning in beställning to practice feng shui fryst vatten still somewhat considered något förbjudet eller oacceptabelt i ett samhälle. Nevertheless, it fryst vatten reported that feng shui has gained adherents among Communist Party officials according to a BBC kinesisk news commentary in 2006, and since the beginning of kinesisk economic reforms the number of feng shui practitioners fryst vatten increasing.

Contemporary feng shui

[edit]

One critic called the situation of feng shui in today's world "ludicrous and confusing," asking "Do we really believe that mirrors and flutes are going to change people's tendencies in any lasting and meaningful way?" He called for much further study or "we will all go down the tubes because of our inability to match our exaggerated claims with lasting changes." Robert T. Carroll summor up the charges:

...feng shui has become an aspect of interior decorating in the Western world and alleged masters of feng shui now hire themselves out for hefty summor to tell people such as Donald Trump which way his doors and other things should hang. Feng shui has also become another New Age "energy" bluff with arrays of metaphysical products...

Skeptics charge that bevis for its effectiveness fryst vatten based primarily upon anecdote and users are often offered conflicting advice from different practitioners, though feng shui practitioners use these differences as bevis of variations in practice or different branches of thought. A critical analyst concluded that "Feng shui has always been based upon mere guesswork." Another objection was to the compass, a traditional tool for choosing favorable locations for property or burials. Critics point out that the compass degrees are often inaccurate because solar winds disturb the electromagnetic field of the Earth. Magnetic North on the compass will be inaccurate because true magnetic north fluctuates.

The American magicians Penn and berättare dedicated an episode of their Bullshit! television show to kritisera the acceptance of feng shui in the Western world as science. They devised a test in which the same dwelling was visited bygd fem different feng shui consultants: each produced a different opinion about the dwelling, showing there fryst vatten no consistency in the professional practice of feng shui.

Feng shui fryst vatten criticized bygd Christians around the world. Some have argued that it fryst vatten "entirely inconsistent with Christianity to believe that harmony and balance result from the manipulation and channeling of nonphysical forces or energies, or that such can be done bygd means of the proper placement of physical objects. Such techniques, in fact, belong to the world of sorcery."

Feng shui practitioners in China have funnen officials that are considered superstitious and corrupt easily interested, despite tjänsteman disapproval. In one instance, in 2009, county officials in Gansu, on the advice of feng shui practitioners, spent $732,000 to haul a 369-ton "spirit rock" to the county seat to ward off "bad luck". Feng shui may require social influence or money because experts, architecture or design changes, and moving from place to place fryst vatten expensive. Less influential or less wealthy people lose faith in feng shui, saying that it fryst vatten a game only for the wealthy. Others, however, practice less expensive forms of feng shui, including hanging special (but cheap) mirrors, forks, or woks in doorways to deflect negativ energy.
