At an interdisciplinary international academic conference of architectural science and geographical science that I attended, architecture professors all over the world like gossip, geomantic omen and mysticism, among which there are many papers and monographs. For example, European architects will talk more about most castles, ghost hallucinations caused by granite radiation, what geometric structure will lead to frequent paranormal phenomena, and whether the Gothic spire will give the mind a special conscious experience ... They are almost fascinated by the Book of Changes.
Feng Shui is scientific. Many people in China have the concept of geomantic omen, but they only know that windows can't be opened here and doors can't be opened there, so it is impossible to connect the north and the south. Said the money was lost through the traffic. When you ask him why, you can only tell you what will happen if you can't. However, in design, the west does not understand the geomantic omen of China people, but it has the principle that the mechanics of wind moves with the wind. Open the window here and the wind will come in from there. Open the door here. Because of the principle of airflow, the room temperature in the house is easy to leak. In fact, it is the same as China's Feng Shui.
People in China like to sit in a house facing south. Foreigners can be calculated according to latitude and how many degrees the house faces. The sunshine enters the house the most, the room is the warmest, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer. China people's geomantic omen is the accumulation of practical experience, while foreigners' design is based on scientific calculation to find out the most suitable formula for people to live in.
