Geomantic it is Chinese tradition the general application symbol that the building is in folk. Instantly commends to geomantic viewpoint differ. Look in some people, traditional is feudal, superstitious, suspect. Actually, some is so called " superstitious " it is to contain " science " of the element, we answer adj look upon, take its flower, go its scum. 　

Geomantic be from Chinese philosophy classical " Zhouyi " in derive comes out. Geomantic, say a bit more easy to read and understandly, say person and natural concern namely. If use western science to explain, it is humanitarian geography, be watch astronomical phenomena by the ancients, knowledge is geographical, a variety of factors that consider integratedly to get used to person and environment to coordinate development must come, such as how garden, how layout, how to plan a dorp, curtilage base etc, what what it considers is to build to surround not just combine a space, more important is with factitious measure, consider the demand of person physiology level, pay close attention to the demand of person mind level and culture level at the same time, active as shirt-sleeve as natural look, suit with natural look, is not to violate the order of nature, destroy environment painstakingly.

Instantly, among the education that we accept, to geomantic knowledge unscramble very little, accordingly, build didymous and geomantic one-sided understanding easily also. I suggest our student is read " Zhouyi " medium basic theory and viewpoint, because there is very much knowledge and our architecture inside it,contact, a when contain among them main reason is remained " day person syncretic " . Actually, geomantic the relation that those who learn to want to solve and study basically is person and nature. Chinese ancient dorp has the geomantic consideration when Yu Zuxian optional location is being concerned on a lot of familial pedigree of a clan, the situation that accords with geomantic requirement is good necessarily curtilage. E.g. optional location, itself explained construction program of the Chinese and dorp build an idea is not out of thin air, however as shirt-sleeve as nature photograph, it is the process that caters to nature actively even. I ever had been to Anhui Yi county for many times and other places of Wangjia courtyard of grand village, Shanxi makes an on-the-spot investigation, a lot of civilian houses over there plan namely according to traditional and geomantic view of build. Can experience apparently from which farming the historical impress of agrarian times, experience the clever wisdom of the glamour of district culture, the ancients. Among them building is built, dorp layout, all without exception all emphasizes geomantic for forerunner, in nature choice abode wants above all " its yin and yang, view its grade a coin " , the choice has the sun, running water and the place that air flows, namely " landscape meets, tibetan wind gets water " , the person's safety, will unripe the consideration has in depositing a lot of element in nature, can be imagined, its are built it is an organic whole with natural be in harmony necessarily.
