Blamed this on Bad Hong Kong's Feng Shui?

Recently I have watched an interesting Youtube video that I want to share with my readers. In essence, this is a conspiracy theory accusing the Chinese Government is using Feng Shui to destroy the prosperity of Hong Kong, causing all the current riots and problems. In which it has been going on for more than half a year and have no quick ending in the new year!

 I do not want to discuss any political matters in this blog site so that I will concentrate on some of its reasoning in Feng Shui aspects.

The chief complaint is the Government put up two recent "symbolic" structures that have been causing all the problems primarily based on the ideas of "luan tao" Feng Shui [巒頭风水].

 The first one is a massive structure used to divert the traffic in the central business district for whatever reason. This structure intends to look like a poisonous serpent head, and the flow of traffic around it looks exactly toxic fume split out from the serpent's mouth (see picture 1).

The second one is the Hong Kong observation wheel at the AIA Vitality Park, located at a prime piece of land facing the Harbor. According to the so-called Feng Shui observation, which referred to as a "pearl" [明珠] (see picture 2 below).

The third structure mentioned in this context is the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Interestingly, many Feng Shui masters in Hong Kong claimed it looks like a turtle [靈龜]. (see picture 3). So, the Feng Shui theory behind the existence of these three massive structures is that it resembled of the phenomenon the poisonous serpent, the turtle is fighting for the "pearl," which causes much havoc and destruction in Hong Kong!

Whether it makes sense or not, I will leave my readers to decide. Here I want to offer my few cents of observation in this discussion.

Technically speaking, we do have the concept of "calling out the symbol and representation" [ 呼形喝象] of a particular landscape formation or a physical form and structure in Feng Shui, which is a fundamental idea in "luan tao" Feng Shui [巒頭凤水]. It contains three elements which are "shape" [形], "meaning" [意], "chi" [氣]. In this case, the traffic diversion structure looks like a poisonous serpent's head ("shape," "meaning"). The flow of the traffic in front of the structure looks similar to the toxic fume splitting out from the serpent's mouth (" chi").

One thing I want to point out is the above based on imaginative and abstract observations by the Feng shui masters. A typical example of this idea is the formation of the Four Celestial Animals, i.e. green dragon on the left [左青龍], white tiger on the right [右白虎], red phoenix at the front [前朱雀], the black turtle at the rear [后玄武].

In my personal opinion, I believe that the observation wheel does have some Feng Shui implications in this instance. The moving of the wheel represents the chi is scattered, which considered not auspicious. If my readers are interested in this topic, you can refer to another article on my blog site when I am commenting on the Feng Shui of the new Apple's headquarter.
