What is the treasure house of feng shui fortune telling?

A famous city with a treasure trove of geomantic omen

There are mountains in the north and plains in the south.

Beijing is the capital of People's Republic of China (PRC). It has a history of more than 3,000 years, and the descendants of Zhou Wuwang Yao Feng once lived here. At that time, it was called Qiu Ji and later became the capital of Yan State. The Liao Dynasty took Beijing as its capital and called Yanjing. The Jin Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing in 1 153, and changed its name to Zhongdu, which has since become the political center of the whole country. The Yuan Dynasty took Beijing as its capital, and built Beijing according to the principle of "the former dynasty followed the city, and the left ancestor followed the right society", which laid the scale of Beijing. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, its capital was Yingtian (now Nanjing). In order to kill the imperial spirit of the Yuan Dynasty, the palaces of the Yuan Dynasty were demolished and the north wall moved south. In order to reflect the core position of imperial power, Emperor Chengzu of Ming Taizu moved the central axis of the city to the east by150m, and all the newly-built palaces were located on the central axis, and a Jingshan Mountain was built to the north of the line, so as to suppress the residual kingship of the Yuan Dynasty and ensure the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, Beijing was still the capital, and the Ditan, Ritan and Moon Altar were built for sacrifice. There are Temple of Heaven in the south of Beijing, Ditan in the north, Ritan in the east and Moon in the west, representing Qiansu Zhaku, HouXuanwu, Zuoqinglong and Youbai Lake respectively.

Beijing has always been a military town and political center, which is related to its geographical location. It is located between North China Plain, Northwest Mongolia Plateau and Northeast Songliao Plain, bordering Yanshan Mountains in the north, Inner Mongolia Desert and Gobi Desert in the northwest, Taihang Mountain in the southwest, North China Plain in the south and Bohai Bay in the east. Liaodong Peninsula and Jiaodong Peninsula surround the Bohai Sea and become a barrier to defend Beijing. Beijing is bordered by mountains in the north and controlled by plains in the south. It is located between Beijing small plain, Huanghuaihai great plain in the south and mountainous areas in the north, which will inevitably attract the attention of the ancient philosophers.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian aristocrat Batunnan strongly recommended Beijing to Kublai Khan. "Yuan Shi Batulu" records Batunan: "The land of secluded swallows is surrounded by dragons and tigers, and the situation is magnificent, with Jianghuai in the south and Shuomo in the north. And the son of heaven must be in the middle to accept worship from all directions. If Wang wants to rule the world and stay in the country, it must be Yan. " So Kublai Khan decided to make its capital in Yan.

After Ming Huidi was driven away by Ming Chengzu in the battle of Jingnan, he didn't want to go to Nanjing to be emperor, but wanted to stay in Beijing. Because Beijing is his fief (called Yanjing), Longgan has a lot of business here. His courtiers agreed that he should do whatever he wants. The Record of Emperor Taizong of Ming Dynasty records the humble opinion of ministers: "It is enough to control four foreigners and the world and become the capital of emperors in past dynasties." People in the Ming Dynasty generally believed that it was wise to make Beijing the capital. There is a saying in Shun Tian Zhi compiled during the Wanli period: "Yan Huanhai is a pool, holding Taihang Mountain as a danger, staying in the middle to control the outside, helping the river to lift weights to make light, the east and west tribute roads come to various countries, the northwest customs are strong on nine sides, the imperial power is strong for thousands of years, and the public security lasts forever."

Due to the rapid industrialization, urbanization and unbalanced development in modern times, nearly180 thousand people have gathered, and the groundwater level in Beijing is accelerating. The Yongding River has been cut off for many years, and Beijing has become a water-deficient and relatively dry area in northern China. Tiger lives in the dragon plate, near the mountain and near the water.

There is a stone city in the west of Nanjing, so it is located in Liangqingshan, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Zhongshan in the east, such as winding Wolong. Therefore, people have always called Nanjing "the dragon plate on the back of a tiger". This name has a long history. According to Jaco's Lu Wu in the Jin Dynasty, Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang to Nanjing, and Zhuge Liang sighed, "The Dragon Plate in Zhongshan, surrounded by stones, is the residence of the son of heaven." In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Geng Xin said in "Jiangnan Fu": "In the past, the tiger lived in the dragon plate, yellow and purple." Liu Zhiji explained in Comrade Shi Shu in the Tang Dynasty: "The tiger lives in the dragon plate, and the emperor shows his respect." Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty said in Song of the Forever King: "The Dragon and Tiger lived in the Imperial Capital, and Jinling, Di Zi visited the ancient hills." It can be seen that the word "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been recognized by people.

Nanjing was once the capital of many dynasties and political powers. Wu Dong in the Three Kingdoms period and later the Eastern Jin, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen all established their capitals here, which was called the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in history. Later, the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Revolution of 1911 and the Chiang Kai-shek National Government all established their capitals here briefly.

There are many changes in the name of Nanjing. During the Warring States Period, Jinling City was established in Chu, Moling in Qin, Jianye in Soochow, Jiankang in Jin Dynasty, Nanjing in Ming Dynasty, jiangning house in Southern Tang and Qing Dynasty, and Tianjing in Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Nanjing has a dangerous terrain, surrounded by mountains, high in the north and low in the south, which is easy to defend and not easy to attack. Qinhuai River flows into the river in the west, and there are many stone mountains along the river. From southwest to northeast, there are Stone Mountain, Maanshan, Wangsishan, Lulongshan and Mufu Mountain. In the northeast, there is the highest peak of Ningzhen Mountain, Zhongshan; There are Fuguishan, Zhoushan and Jilong Mountain in the north; There are sand states such as Zhou Changming, Zhanggongzhou and Egret in the south, forming Jiajiang River. These natural barriers guarded Nanjing, which made the rulers of past dynasties take a fancy to this land. Not only that, Nanjing has convenient transportation, and the Taihu Plain and Qiantang River Basin in the southeast are rich in water resources. Down the river, you can trace back to Jiujiang and Wuhan, and down the river, you can reach Shanghai. Together with Qinhuai River and Taihu Lake system, Nanjing extends in all directions.

Mr. Feng Shui described the development trend of Long Mai in Nanjing. Li Sicong, when talking about looking for dragons in Nanjing in Miscellaneous Notes on Kanyu, said: "If the tauren dragon in Nanjing starts from Wawu Mountain, from Lushan Mountain in the east to Piaoshuipu, Hengshan Mountain, Yuntai Mountain, Jishan Mountain and Zutang Mountain all have tauren twin peaks, then Saturn will be particularly rich. The one on the left, from Wushan to Xishan Bridge, goes back to the elbow and gives birth to mountains and hills. On the right, a branch is born in Cuiping Mountain, which falls from rotten stone mountain to Ganglong and ends in Matian. Draw Jiangjun Mountain, cross Huangnigang, start from Zhuxi Temple, arrive at Andemen, give birth to Yuhuatai, and stop at the gate above Jiagangmen. " This set of statements is too complicated, so we must not stick to it.

Dr. Sun Yat-sen commented on the geographical environment of Nanjing in the General Plan for the Founding of the People's Republic of China: "It is located in a beautiful and good area. There are mountains, deep waters and plains on land. These three kinds of excellence are one place, Yu Zhong, which is hard to find in the world metropolis. And it happens to be in the center of the richest areas on both sides of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The future development of Nanjing is limitless. "

Nanjing is a city where Chinese children share weal and woe. The Han nationality in the Central Plains crossed eastward to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty, resisting foreign nationalities and returning China's rivers and mountains. Daming Jiangshan rebelled against the foreign rule of Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Republic of China and the Han nationality rebelled against foreigners again and again, maintaining the revival of Chinese civilization. Therefore, after comparing Chang 'an, Luoyang, Jinling and Yanjing, Mr. Zhu Dai said: "Among these four capitals, literature is prosperous, people are outstanding, mountains and rivers are beautiful, weather is magnificent, and people are outstanding, especially Jinling." Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beijiang River.

Luoyang is the ancient capital of nine dynasties, spanning more than 1000 years. "Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beijiang." Mangshan Mountain in the north of Luoyang is synonymous with the final destination of China people. There are so many tombs on Mangshan Mountain that "there are few places for cows to lie". There are even 24 emperors of six generations buried here, which is the most densely distributed, largest in number and longest lasting in China. Mangshan is a remnant of a hill, which is about150m higher than the water surface of the Yellow River and Luohe River. The terrain is open and there is Luoshui in the south. It is located at the intersection of the Yellow River and the Luohe River. Shuikou is the best choice, and the feng shui in the whole mausoleum area is good. In the soil layer 5 ~ 15 meters below the surface of Lushan Mountain, it has low water permeability, good cohesiveness and compact soil, which is most suitable for placing graves. " **

In the theory of geomantic omen, the burial place pays attention to the cohesion of life, the wind can't blow, and there is water to stop life. Jin Guopu's famous geomantic book "Funeral Book" explains that the burial place that can bring the gospel depends on the life of the burial place. Anger flows underground. The wind dispersed as soon as it blew. When the water stops, it stops. Among them, qi refers to yin and yang. These two opposing and complementary qi in the universe are constantly changing. At this time, Yin and Yang are in the best balance with each other. Mangshan area is an ideal place for camping and grave-sweeping. There are Qinling Mountains in the south and Weihe River in the north.

Xi 'an, known as Haojiang and Chang 'an in ancient times, is a famous ancient capital of China. Feng and Gao were the capitals of the Western Zhou Dynasty and Xianyang was the capital of the Qin Dynasty, both of which were near An. Western Han Dynasty, Xin Dynasty, Western Jin Dynasty, Former Qin Dynasty, Later Qin Dynasty, Western Wei Dynasty, Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty and other countries once established their capitals in Anjian. The Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei and the later Tang Dynasty all established their capitals in Xi 'an.

The reason why rulers of past dynasties took a fancy to Xi 'an was related to the geographical location of Xi 'an. Xi 'an is located in Guanzhong Plain, bordering Qinling Mountains in the south and Weihe River in the north, with mild climate and fertile land. Historical Records: A Family Leaving Hou records the praise of the Han Dynasty for An: "Fu Guan Zhong left with faith, right with Long, Shu and fertile fields, south with the kindness of Bashu, north with the benefits of the lake far away, blocking the three sides and governing the princes in the east." The princes are stable, the rivers and rivers embrace the world, and the west gives the capital; The vassal has changed, and going down the river is enough to defeat. This so-called Jincheng is a thousand miles away, and the country of abundance is also. " The sky is full of context and beautiful scenery.

The abbreviation of Hangzhou.

Zhou, formerly known as Lin 'an, was the capital of Wu Yueguo in the Five Dynasties and the Southern Song Dynasty.

Hangzhou is located on the north bank of Zhenjiang, where the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal meets the Qiantang River. Its northwest is Tianmu Mountain, and its southwest and southeast are Longmen Mountain and Huiji Mountain. The scenery here is picturesque, and the feudal rulers are happy to revel in the lakes and mountains, so they built their capital here. So that Lin Sheng, a poet in the Song Dynasty, reprimanded: "When will the West Lake dance stop?" Warm wind makes tourists drunk, just for Bianzhou, Hangzhou. "

As for the geomantic omen in Hangzhou, Tian Rucheng recorded that Yang, who was the magistrate in the third year of Ming Dynasty (1508), said, "Hangzhou starts in Tianmu and the mountains fly in Qiantang. Between the rivers and lakes, the mountains gather together and the vitality melts ... South across Wu Shan, north to Wulin, left with the Yangtze River and right with Quhu Lake, so the whole situation is surrounded by context, and Zhong Ling is among them. "

Li Sicong said that Hangzhou Ganlong originated in Tianmu, and its ancestral home cannot be described. After crossing the gorge from Huangshan Daling, a branch starts from Nanfeng, crosses Qianliang Temple Ridge from Shiwu, starts from Jiuyao Mountain in Wang Yue and crosses Ciyunling. From the Royal Jiaochang, Guosheng Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, through Wansongling, from Wu Shan to the urban area. A branch line starts from Beifeng, breaks from Wu Qingzhi in Taoyuan Ridge, starts from Wushi Mountain behind Yuefen, and enters the urban area from the Baoshu Pagoda of Zhiguo Mountain. The whole story goes down the river, covered by the stars and mountains, across the river peaks, reflecting the distant dragon, from Xiaoshan to Shanghai Gate. When you are born, you have to cross the river from the stone bones of Biezimen, start from Gaoting Mountain and turn in the sand. Right boundary water flows into Qiantang River from Tonglu, Yanzhou; The water in the left boundary flows into Guanhe River from Yuhang Xixi, but unfortunately the two boundaries are not divided, and the rivers in the city are impassable and the context is unclear.
