| Abstract: | 「風水」對華人來說是個歷史悠久的學說，祖先從觀察山川大地、四季節氣的變化，發覺大自然環境對人類與其它生物之間有相互依存影響的關係，從觀察居住地形的變化，發現人類生存必須在何種位置，古代稱勘輿，目的是用來選擇宮殿、村落選址、墓地建設等方法及原則。原意是選擇合適地方的一門學問。所以回歸風水學的基本觀念理論，環境是風水的一環。
現代人因為媒體網路的發達，接受了許多風水的概念，例如：壓樑、門沖、路沖、壁刀、穿堂煞、門對門、開門見樓梯、房中房、開門見灶、順水流等等，這是陽宅風水學的基本概念，往往影響人們居住空間的主要問題為上所述的這些原因，同時影響一個居家環境品質及居住人的行為模式，居住空間的生活環境，所謂空間包含外環境及室內環境，從屋宅室內的區域空間配置，到屋宅所處的大區域環境，這些都與風水有關，也都影響著居住在此社區的人們，風水簡單來說就是環境，居家風水就是環境的縮影。
Feng Shui is perhaps the essence of traditional Chinese wisdom and can be seen as an integral part of Chinese culture. So far as the Chinese are concerned, Feng-Shui is a set of professional theories with a long history, originating from our ancestors that make close and subtle observations on the geographic environment, inclusive of mountains, hills, lands, lakes, seasonal variations, and the like. Our ancestors eventually discover that significantly intimate relationships do exist between the natural environment, human beings and other creatures alike. Moreover, they also make significant discoveries that human beings are able to proliferate in an advantageous way by finding out appropriate environmental spaces as well as sites or locations. In this light, Feng-Shui is also called “Skills to observe lands,” meaning using various ways to observe geographical variations and predicting natural phenomena and , as a result, meant as scientific methods and practical principles to select palaces, temples, villages and graveyards. In brief, Feng-Shui is a kind of scientific knowledge to select appropriate sites or locations for particular reasons; to put it differently, Feng-Shui is essentially and basically a method to discover environmental and geographical traits for particular sites and purposes. On account of the rapid development and advancement of broadcasting technology, such concepts regarding Feng-Shiu have been gradually accepted as pressure beams, door red, road red, wall knife, evil hallway, door to door, rooms of rooms, stairs confronting doors and doors confronting kitchens. The above concepts are basic notions of Feng-Shui and thus have exerted a tremendous and indispensable influence on residential spaces or sites of human beings. Significant findings are made as follows: behavior modes of humankind and his / her living qualities are intimately connected with environmental spaces of residency, including interior surroundings and exterior ones. In this regard, Feng-Shui is briefly defined as environmental spaces concretely embodied with human choices of residency. |
