Abstract
Geomantic theory is a natural science integrating geophysics, hydrogeology, astrology, meteorology, environmental landscape science, architecture, ecology, and human life information science. Its purpose is to carefully examine and understand the natural environment, to use and transform the nature, to create a good living environment, to win the best time, place, and people, to achieve the perfect realm of the unity of nature and man. In today’s rapid economic development and social progress, how to effectively combine architectural geomantic omen with contemporary architectural design is the concrete embodiment of modern geomantic omen culture keeping pace with The Times, and is also an important subject faced by Chinese traditional culture to benefit contemporary people and promote economic development. This paper combines Chinese geomantic omen with modern architecture and discusses the site selection of modern architecture under the guidance of geomantic omen based on the current ecological environment construction. This paper studies the site selection of ecological buildings under the guidance of geomantic omen, which provides a new idea for the application of ancient geomantic omen in the future site selection of buildings. To treat Chinese geomantic culture correctly, Chinese architecture, as the carrier of Chinese culture, should inherit critically, explore its scientific essence, and use the past for the present or use it with a little modification. This paper attempts to learn from the traditional Chinese geomantic concepts, such as wind, air, sunshine, water, and so on, and apply them to the current ecological building site selection. According to the natural environment analysis, starting from the current actual environment, applying ancient geomantic in modern construction site, adjust measures to local conditions, such as mountain gives a new meaning, while retaining the maximum illumination area, environment, plant more traditional geomantic meaning, create more appropriate, good living environment, also accord with the demand of the national ecological construction. In this paper, the attitude of advancing with The Times to look at geomancy, let geomancy theory towards the direction of the development of the real society, which is the contemporary people to study geomancy, promote geomancy theory, use geomantic omen for the benefit of modern architecture of the main task.

Some research shows that when designing ecological buildings, most of the architects have considered and used various features that are integrated with the natural environment, such as building site selection, lighting utilization rate, circulation system, and wind direction so that they have achieved more efficient resource utilization and a better environmental experience for consumers
In Wright's own words: "Architecture is a sense of unity in the surrounding environment, making the house part of its location." This emphasizes the relationship between architecture and nature, architecture should be integrated with nature, live in harmony, and from feng shui, is a reasonable way of building site selection, so it explains the need to study the location of buildings under feng shui

As can be seen from the graph, China's construction waste consists mainly of concrete, masonry, ceramics, slag and mortar. By putting forward new requirements for architectural design and site selection, the concept of ecological architecture is committed to maintaining ecological balance, that is, "to make the building itself and the surrounding natural ecological environment produce an interdependence and mutual coordination mode" [1]. The connection between Geomantic Omen and the theory of ecological buildings can be seen where both of them try to find a mode that enables human beings to live in harmony with nature. This paper will try to analyze and present the guidance and help of traditional Chinese geomantic omen for the site selection of ecological buildings from multiple perspectives. Geomantic omen can provide more perspective and opinion on site selection in terms of water resources, solar lighting, and wind direction
