What is Fengshui?

什么是风水?

 

Fengshui is a system of ancient Chinese knowledge, which is mainly used to orient dwellings and tombs.It helps pick locations, directions and designs.

风水是一门如何选择合适的宅地、墓地等的学问,比如宅地等选在什么地方、它的坐向、怎么建设等。

 

Some people believe Fengshui is capable of affecting the fate of a family and future of younger generations.

有些人甚至认为风水的好坏可以影响家庭、子女的盛衰吉凶。

 

Fengshui is more or less based on science, being closely related to astronomy and geography and directly connected with traditional Chinese philosophies as tai chi and octagonal diagram.

其实,风水蕴含了朴素的科学道理。它跟天文、地理等知识密不可分,有与太极八卦等中国传统哲学思想有着千丝万缕的联系。

 

The main concept of Feng shui is the harmony between man and nature.Fengshui studies consider basic conditions heaven, earth, wind and water namely human beings rely on to survive. Therefore, people must remain in harmonious contact with them.

风水的核心思想是人和自然的和谐。分水学认为天、地、风、水是人赖以生存的基础,人类要与他们和谐相处。

 

In China, those who study Feng shui are called Feng shui master. Typically, they are consulted when a family needs to move its location, choose a cemetery or resolve difficult issues. Feng shui masters rely on their compass and other tools to locate best positions in a given environment for obtaining good luck and avoiding bad luck, which in turn,helps the inquirers solve their problems.

在中国,看分水的人被叫做风水先生或风水师。每逢搬家选址、选择墓地和解决疑难问题时,人们大多会向风水先生请教。风水先生用罗盘等工具,结合具体环境,寻找最有利于趋吉避凶的方位,帮助求助者排忧解难。

 

A few general principles include: dwellings had better face south; mirrors shouldn’t be placed anywhere close to the headboard. When the surroundings go against Feng shui principles, actions can be taken to reverse the situation. These may involve digging a lake, building fences, and hanging up a mirror. Some of the extensive array of Feng shui theories are based on science and therefore well worth studying.
