Column Name: Macau Feng Shui There are three important discussion points in Feng Shui, one is "Dragon Veins", one is "Shuikou (Nozzle)", and the other is "Feng Shui points". "Dragon vein" is to see the ups and downs of a place, "Shuikou (Nozzle)" is to see the water flow of the harbor, and "Feng Shui point" is to see the residence. Macau is located in the southeast of China, on the west bank of the outlet of the Pearl River Delta. It includes the Macau peninsula, Taipa Island and Coloane. The sea area is 85 square kilometers, while the land area is 33.3 square kilometers. As of the end of September last year, the total population was 671,900. According to Feng Shui theory, Macau is located in the lower reaches of the Pearl River Delta. The water in the lower reaches is relatively shallow and the flow rate is not high, so Macau is surrounded by silt, and the silt deposits produce negative energy. Negative energy needs to be absorbed by high mountains. Unfortunately, there is no high mountain in Macau, so negative energy accumulates Down into bleakness. According to the ratio of population to land area, Macao is a highly densely populated place. Homes have their own magnetic field, and people have their own energy. Poor ventilation stuck the field and energy, followed by many problems, such as disease, poverty, and public grievances. Shakespeare once said: " “The miserable have no other medicine, but only hope.”. The reason why the residents of Macau are full of resentment is because the feng shui aura is not smooth. The turbid air causing the citizens burning out of work and feeling frustrated with life. Also, the muddy water makes people feel the future is uncertain, and young people find their opportunities is limited. In recent years, Macao has completed large-scale land reclamation between Ponte de Amizade and Ponte Governador Nobre de Carvalho. The design style and length of the two bridges of the reclamation project are different, and the bridges are not extended parallel. Near Taipa Island, the water inlet is relatively narrow. This shape looks like a funnel. The Feng Shui pattern is called "thin water and long flow." However, the government did not follow the Feng Shui requirements. The reclamation straightened the shoreline and sped up the water flow. Regarding Feng Shui, water is wealth, and wealth is economy. Speedy water flow means rushing out the wealth, which also accelerates the accumulation of sediments downstream. When the sediments pile in the water, economic development is also stagnant. Young people's future is full of barriers as well. No wonder their grievance is growing. The ancients believed that the sea water should not be too turbulent. Instead, slow and meandering water is associated with affection and livelihood. This is true in Feng Shui. Macau is located in the lower reaches of the Pearl River, the bank is shallow so the water flow is naturally slow. However, the reclamation further block the water flow. Sediment is accumulating. In resonance, people also feel stuck and in bad mood always. The current remedy is to restart the Portas do Entendimento, which is the Memorial Gate of Sino-Portuguese Friendship, and also the "Luo Xing" (meaning “gate”) on Fengshui Shuikou (the nozzle). This door implies the meaning of "integration", "harmony" and "doorway". It is called "Ronghemen" in Chinese. Everyone lives in peace and harmony. The water flow is reactivated to relief the negative energy accumulated presviouly. Macau is not a battleground for partisan political struggles, nor is it a trick for citizens to complain about the government’s governance. Many local people and people from abroad have always regarded Macau as a paradise for retirement. This shows that Macau is a peaceful place to recuperate and get rich. Because of the lack of proper feng shui setting in the city planning, the public will feel a sense of grievance and dissatisfied about everything. Note: The Shuikou: nozzle, the inlet and outlet of the water flow. MICKEY HUNG By MICKEY HUNG
