摘要
风水与地理学有密切的关系,但不等同。风水是从相地术、对山川形态的崇拜和迷信中发展起来的,风水中的形家学派与理气学派都对风水的形成起了重大的作用,但为风水的地理学基础作出重大贡献的则是形家学派。风水的地理学基础主要体现在7个方面:即地形、水文、气象气候、土壤、生物、探矿、地图。风水的地理学基础使风水具有一定的科学价值和实用价值,是风水学说的精华。
This treatise discusses the geographical basis of geomancy in two sections: (1) Relationship between geomancy and geography; (2) Aspects of geomancy constituting the geographical basis.
Though geomancy is closely related to geography, it must not be equated with geography. It was developed from the art of terrain-surveying and the worship and superstitution of the shape of mountains and rivers. The physical xiang jia theory and the spiritual li qi theory both had effect in the forming of geomancy, yet it was the former theory that made geomancy to be based on geography. The geographical basis of geomancy, which endows geomancy with some scientific and practical value and is the essence of the geornantic theory, is embodied by seven parts: topography, hydrology, meteorology and climate, pedology, biology, prospecting and cartography.
