Master Chen Yikui's unique interpretation of water civilization
For many phenomena in history and civilization, without the Western scientific background foundation that no one had before. In addition to his original ideas, Master Chen Yikui also deduced many new interpretations.
Taking the theory of "well water civilization", Master Chen Yikui pointed out that of the world's famous "four ancient civilizations": China, India, Egypt, and Babylon, only the Chinese civilization still exists. The most critical reason is that Different from the other three civilizations, it is the "Great River Civilization." Early civilizations can only develop near the river basin. However, only the Chinese civilization has developed the technology of digging wells thousands of years ago. The water source is no longer restricted to the vicinity of the river, and it can develop into the deep hinterland further away from the river earlier, creating the early golden age. Moreover, more importantly, because the quality of the well water is different, the offspring of the people who dug good wells are more qualified and more competitive, while the people who dug bad wells are on the contrary, their physical strength is weak, their offspring are withered, and they are overwhelmed over time. Naturally eliminated, what remains is the victor under this cruel screening. Different from other big river civilizations, the Chinese civilization concentrates its resources on the outstanding people because of the characteristics of "well water", which naturally creates a splendid culture that will last forever.
In the development of cities, Master Chen Yokui also used the concept of Feng Shui theory to deduce the theory of "river city", and found that as long as it is a prosperous big city, there is more than one river passing by. A complete weather environment, rivers flowing by, frequent thunders, and distinct changes in the four seasons are all conditions for a prosperous metropolis. A careful study of the major cities in the world conforms to these characteristics.
On the right bank of these rivers, there is a better location for the natural aura of heaven and earth. Therefore, cities adjacent to large rivers are more prosperous and developed on the right bank. For example, Ximending and Sanchong, which are separated by a river, Ximending have developed much better than Sanchong on the left bank since ancient times. The same situation occurs in Danshui and Bali, which are also separated by a river. Danshui on the right bank is always far more prosperous than Bali on the left.
A great deal of ancient Chinese wisdom, under the reinterpretation of Master Chen Yikui, presents another style of the new era, which is more acceptable to modern people.
