Chapter 157: Scientific Feng Shui
Standing on the podium, Luo Ding looked down and found that there were a large number of students sitting neatly below, and they were all looking at themselves, which should be said to be looking at themselves with a curious look.
Luo Ding knew that among them, many people knew nothing about Feng Shui, but they had a deep interest in this kind of knowledge. This is why they appeared here today.
Last week, Feng Xiuxiu told herself that she would come here to give a lecture. Luo Ding was a little hesitant at that time. Even when he finally decided to give such a lecture, he still felt a little unsure of how to describe it. But today he felt excited.
Feng Xiuxiu stood on the other side, and she was also observing Luo Ding. It turned out that she was a little worried that Luo Ding would be a little uncomfortable in such an occasion. As a teacher, she knew quite how uncomfortable it would be when a person stood on the podium for the first time. But what surprised her was that although Luo Ding was a little unnatural at the beginning, she adapted quickly. Feng Xiuxiu even saw from Luo Ding that he seemed to be excited about this environment!
"It seems that this world is really a so-called genius. Such people have extremely average adaptability to the environment, and people are much stronger." Feng Xiuxiu thought silently.
Luo Ding looked at the college students sitting in the audience. He knew that it was not that easy for him to conquer them today. These people have been educated for many years and have their own ideas and thinking skills. What he is going to talk about today is the mysterious Feng Shui in the field of knowledge. Although Feng Shui exists in people's understanding, it often attributes it to superstition. He wants to break this kind of understanding today, and the whole process will definitely not be easy. Luo Ding was mentally prepared for this.
Taking a breath, Luo Ding spoke, "I am a Feng Shui master. You may already know this. If you don't know it yet, then you know it now."
Luo Ding's words suddenly made the college students sitting below relax their hearts, which were originally raised because of curiosity. Many people's faces a light smile.
"What I want to talk about today is Feng Shui. Due to time constraints, I cannot talk about many things today. I thought about it. Among all the questions, what you care about is whether Feng Shui exists. If it exists, will they work?"
I have to say that Luo Ding’s question is about the hearts of these college students. They are basically half-believing and half-doubted about the traditional culture of Feng Shui. It is undoubtedly the most appropriate for Luo Ding to choose to enter such a question today.
Seeing that all the college students below showed serious expressions, Luo Ding did not pretend to be mysterious anymore, but said directly: "In Feng Shui, there is a saying of the blue dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, black twilight. These are the divine beasts in all directions and represent four directions. Today I want to explain that Feng Shui is actually scientific."
As he said that, Luo Ding turned around and drew the four divine beasts on the blackboard, and then said: "The east is the blue dragon, the west is the white tiger; the south is the vermilion bird and the north is the Xuanwu, which is collectively called the Four Gods."
After saying this, Luo Ding quickly drew a mountain map based on the divine beasts in the four directions, and then pointed to the picture above and said: "In the eyes of our Feng Shui master, the most ideal Feng Shui treasure land is like this, that is, the four gods are complete, and the black trunks are hanging their heads and the vermilion bird dances; the green dragon on the left is high and the white tiger on the right is low, and then the mountains are surrounded by a group of trees, which is to form a flat ground for people to live in. Such a place is a Feng Shui treasure land for yang houses or yin houses."
"Master Luo, then what does this have to do with science?" A student stood up a little impatiently and said directly.
The atmosphere in college is quite active, so I feel that things like this that are interrupted and ask questions are very conscious. Feng Xiuxiu had already mentioned this to Luo Ding before, so Luo Ding didn't care. He nodded and smiled and said, "This is what I want to talk about next."
"We have less contact with the yin house. Today, let's talk about the functions of the divine beasts in the four directions."
"First of all, we are talking about Xuanwu in the north. If there is Xuanwu in a place, we will often build a house to the place that is backed by Xuanwu Mountain. From the perspective of Fengshui, we need to get a backer. What is this benefit? I think everyone has heard a song, and the lyrics in it are called 'Which north wind blows'. That is to say, in the climate of our country, the north wind is very cold, which poses a huge threat to people's survival, especially when living conditions were relatively difficult in the past. Therefore, if there are huge mountains that can block this north wind, it is obviously of great significance to improving the living environment. It is precisely for this consideration that when people determine the living environment through Fengshui, they will consider whether there is Xuanwu Mountain for utilization."
The entire large staircase classroom was so quiet that even if a needle fell to the ground, the college students who didn't think so had already shown a serious expression at this time. Perhaps because of the educational environment, although they had heard of Feng Shui since childhood, they were all talking about the streets and alleys. No one had ever analyzed Feng Shui from this perspective like Luo Ding. Therefore, their curiosity was suddenly drawn out.
"This is the role of Xuanwu in terms of direction. When I mentioned Xuanwu just now, I also mentioned it, that is, 'Xuanwu hangs his head'. As I said just now, Xuanwu is actually a kind of divine beast. The meaning of hanging his head is naturally to mean that the arms of the mountains are like a wild beast hanging down their heads."
"From Fengshui, not all mountains can be used as good Xuanwu Mountain. At least this standard is whether the mountain is hanging down. If a mountain comes from a distance and before reaching the open space, it raises up to form a mountain peak, and the mountain is round and slightly lowered, just like a hanging basket, then such a mountain is a qualified Xuanwu Mountain, because this shape is Xuanwu's head hanging. Xuanwu's head hanging has many benefits. Let me give you the simplest example that we know that the place where the mountain backs is likely to cause landslides due to rain, and there are very few opportunities for landslides on the mountain with Xuanwu's head hanging down..."
After Luo Ding started speaking, Feng Xiuxiu found a corner and sat down. Luo Ding's voice was calm and loud. Although the entire step classroom was very large, Luo Ding's voice was also very good. Basically, it was possible for everyone to hear it without a microphone. This made his voice easily accepted by everyone, and slowly he would enter what he said.
At the same time, Feng Xiuxiu was also very impressed by Luo Dingxuan's saying that Feng Shui is the entry point of science. She has been engaged in education for many years and knows that for these students who have been raised with a new style of education, if they want them to accept or recognize something, they must first explain it from a scientific perspective, otherwise it will be difficult to gain their trust.
If there is something more attractive in Feng Shui, of course there are, but those things are probably equivalent to "story" for laymen. For example, the use of a magic weapon, and the time when Luo Ding broke the evil spirit of the iron tree in the small lake of Lianhua Mountain not long ago, if you say it here, although it is definitely very attractive, it gives people the feeling that Feng Shui is the same thing as a story or legend. It sounds pleasant, but it is difficult for people to believe it.
Luo Ding noticed this, so he did not talk about magical instruments or Feng Shui legends in his lecture today, but actually talked about Feng Shui and science. In this way, although he lost a considerable part of the attraction, he remembered trust, which is undoubtedly more meaningful.
"Next, I want to talk about the Suzaku. I think everyone knows that the so-called Suzaku refers to water. I think everyone will also find some large cities in their daily lives. The well-developed cities are often related to big rivers, which means that such big cities are often next to big rivers."
"Especially when transportation was underdeveloped in ancient times, the meaning of big rivers to people was to provide water for life, one was to provide food for people to eat - there were fish, shrimps and crabs in the water; the other was transportation. Therefore, if there were big rivers and rivers in the places where people lived, it was undoubtedly very suitable for people to live."
"I just said that the requirement for Zhuque is to fly and dance? What is 'xiang dance'? In fact, it is bending. In Feng Shui, what is 'shuiqu' is like, it is affectionate. The meaning of water song is that the river water is relatively gentle in such a terrain, which is conducive to people's life to get water and fish. And once it encounters rainy season, there will be no flood disasters due to the rapid flow of the river."
In fact, the more important feature of Feng Shui, "Water is like a sentiment" is to form a very stable aura, which is most suitable for people to live in. However, Luo Ding does not intend to say today that even if the aura is the core thing in Feng Shui.
Because Luo Ding knew that even if he said it, these college students would basically not be able to accept it. Today I will only give a lesson. As long as these college students can know that Feng Shui is actually scientific, it would be enough.
"Master Luo, I saw some residences. I was talking about one house after another, and there was a pool in front of the door. Can this be said to be Suzaku?"
A student stood up and asked at this time.
Luo Ding nodded and said, "Yes, you're right. This is also Zhuque. The pool like this in front of a certain residence is Zhuque. Of course, such Zhuque is different from the Zhuque I just mentioned, but there are still similarities."
"Maybe we should call such a vermilion Bird ". In addition to the role of accumulating wealth and blocking evil spirits in Feng Shui, from a scientific point of view, it can provide the best way to extinguish fires once a fire occurs. At the same time, such places will often become the best place for people to clean things - if the formation of this vermilion Bird is a small river rather than a stagnant water, it will be even more perfect. Therefore, the things that pay attention to Feng Shui actually have realistic scientific significance. Paying attention to Feng Shui can actually bring great convenience to people's lives."
"Master Luo, I have heard that if there is a pool behind the house, it means that the feng shui is not good. Is there such a saying? If so, what will happen from a scientific point of view?"
Another person stood up and asked a question, and the person who asked such a question undoubtedly heard of Feng Shui.
"From the Feng Shui perspective, there is a saying that the mountain masters Ding Shui is responsible for wealth, but it does not mean that water in any place is auspicious. Generally speaking, the pool in front of the house is a Feng Shui pool, which is good and can accumulate wealth; but if the pool is behind the house, it is completely different. Such water is bad water. Not only can it not accumulate wealth, it will lose money and cause huge harm to people. Therefore, in Feng Shui, the pool behind the house brings evil spirits and is a bad thing."
"From a realistic perspective, we will find that the pool behind the house cannot be monitored. Once the child comes to play and falls down, he cannot find it or rescue it, which may cause a tragic accident."
"Therefore, it is very realistic to pay attention to the 'water in front of the hall and reject the water behind the house's house."
...Slowly accompanied Luo Ding to walk slowly on the campus road of Shenning University. Sometimes, Feng Xiuxiu couldn't help but turn her head to look at Luo Ding. Just half an hour ago, Luo Ding continued his lecture on "Feng Shui and Science".
In addition to the speech, Luo Ding finally opened up the question, which made the already lively classroom extremely lively.
"I was really worried about you just now." Feng Xiuxiu said with a smile.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Luo Ding asked for a moment of fright.
"Don't you feel stressed when you look so excited about the group of emotions? You know, these college students have asked many questions but they are very tricky," said Feng Xiuxiu.
Luo Ding agreed with this, but he was not worried about it at all. He smiled and said, "Yes, their questions are indeed very tricky, but as long as they are Feng Shui questions, I am not afraid. No matter what kind of questions, I am confident that I can answer them."
Luo Ding's voice was very calm, but it exuded a sense of confidence, which made people believe his words. However, Luo Ding did have the confidence. When facing the questions from those college students just now, Luo Ding had a very short-term battle with scholars. In the end, as he said, as long as it was a Feng Shui question, he could undoubtedly answer it.
"What are your plans next?" Feng Xiuxiu asked.
"I plan to go back to my house these days. I have been out for a long time and want to go back and have a look," said Luo Ding.
After the idea of going back and checking a few days ago, Luo Ding found that he could no longer control his homesickness. Now there is nothing at hand, so he decided to go back and check it out. If he gets busy again for a while, he doesn't know when he will wait.
