When it comes to feng shui, many people still think that it is feudal superstition.
In fact, the real feng shui is to study the relationship between man and the environment, and its core idea is to pursue the harmony between man and nature and achieve "the unity of heaven and man".
The word "feng shui" first appeared in the "Burial Sutra" of the famous feng shui master Guo Pu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which describes: "The buried person takes advantage of anger." When the air is blown by the wind, it is dispersed, and the boundary water is stopped. The ancients gathered to make it not disperse, and the action was stopped, so it was called feng shui. ”
The root of feng shui is based on the geographical environment of the surrounding mountains and rivers, and the choice of a good living environment or burial environment is to achieve the purpose of living comfortably and naturally at home, avoiding evil and blessing the descendants.
In Mainland Hong Kong, there was a famous modern feng shui master, Cai Boli, who once chose a tomb for Fok Ying Tung and advised the gambling king Ho Hung Sun to be buried a year after his death.
What ability does he have to make the rich and politicians look for him to calculate it?
The Feng Shui family has created a generation of masters
Cai Boli's grandparents and fathers were engaged in astronomical calendar work, and his grandfather Cai Bai was the best at astronomical calendars, and once served as a Qin Tianjian, and later founded the Zhenxin Hall in Guangdong, mainly engaged in astronomical and feng shui work.
His father, Cai Lian, was a second-generation descendant of Zhenbu Tang and a feng shui master. Cai Boli did not love feng shui in his early years, and he even hated feng shui like most of us ordinary people, believing that feng shui was a feudal superstition.
Therefore, if Cai Boli was not born in a feng shui family, then there would be one less hall-level master in the feng shui world.
When Cai Boli was preparing to go to middle school, when the Japanese army invaded China, the situation was chaotic, and he could not go to school well, so he accepted his father's advice and prepared to learn calendar and feng shui to make plans for supporting his family in the future.
Unexpectedly, After contacting the astronomical calendar, Cai Boli witnessed that as long as it is calculated according to certain procedures, many things can really be predicted.
With the deepening of his studies, he also changed his previous concept that feng shui was a feudal superstition, and sincerely liked the work of astronomical calendars.
In order to conduct deeper research, he studied under mathematician Zhang Zhaosi and learned astronomical mathematics from astronomer Zhang Yun, and eventually became a well-known feng shui master at home and abroad.
Outstanding ability, well-known in the industry
Tsai Boli, who has seriously studied astronomical almanac and feng shui theory, has made outstanding suggestions for many rich people and politicians to see feng shui in his lifetime, and even the site selection and opening time of many buildings in Hong Kong are based on his opinions.
In addition, his "Tongsheng" is deeply loved by the public, with sales of even millions, well-known at home and abroad, and is a veritable temple-level feng shui master in Hong Kong.
Cai Boli once chose the date and address of the tomb for Li Ka-shing's deceased wife, and a sentence "She died tragically" made Li Ka-shing sell 2 million.
And Li Ka-shing's famous building of Cheung Kong Industrial Group in Hong Kong, China, refers to the opinion of Tsai Boli, and after its completion, it will indeed be of great benefit to Li Ka-shing's career. As a result, Cai Boli became Li Ka-shing's royal feng shui master and friend.
When Fok Yingdong died in 2006, his family sought cai Boli's help, hoping that he could choose a feng shui treasure land and burial date for Fok Yingdong;
Because Cai Boli died in 2018, the date and address of the burial of gambling king He Hongshen were completed by Cai Boli's daughter Cai Xinghua;
When he returned to his hometown of Shunde, Guangdong Province, to recuperate, he had seen feng shui for his hometown of Desheng Square, Shunfeng Mountain Arch and Baolin Temple.
Indifferent to fame and fortune, obsessed with research
He is passionate about philanthropy and set up the Hong Kong Shun Long Ren Ze Foundation, donating a lot of the money he received to the foundation, hoping to help the needy residents in his hometown.
Although the "Tongsheng" written by people is loved by people, it has never raised the price of books, and in the face of pirated printing, it has never thought of pursuing responsibility, but only hopes that printing errors will not harm others.
He never pursued great wealth and nobility, did not value fame and fortune, but only wanted to be able to live comfortably and devote what he learned to practice.
Throughout his life, he has studied astronomical almanac and feng shui theory, combined with the essence of his ancestors, and constantly enriched and improved the theory of feng shui; Tongsheng, edited by him, was included in the provincial intangible cultural heritage.
In his later years, he indulged in the study of ancient armillary spheres, and gave them to the former director of the Hong Kong Observatory after recasting them. He has made great contributions to the preservation of the traditional astronomical calendar, and has greatly inherited and carried forward the traditional Chinese culture.
epilogue
Feng shui in the true sense is not feudal superstition, but has a scientific basis. As Cai Boli said: "Feng Shui is a very professional discipline, and it must be drilled into it."
Feng shui covers astronomy, hydrology, architecture, environmental science and other fields, it is necessary for people to be patient, seriously study, not in a hurry, otherwise it is very easy to become a pseudo-feng shui master who cheats others of money.
As he said: "Feng Shui is that you feel comfortable, and its main role is to guide." "And although good feng shui has a great impact on a person's development, it ultimately requires personal efforts."
