Development history of earthquake houses

The earthquake house originated from geomantic omen, which began to be associated with folk witchcraft in Qin and Han dynasties, and was related to the life, divination and physiognomy of the five techniques. It is also said that the basic composition of the divinatory symbols originated from the Book of Changes is divided into the folk beliefs of guarding the door, guiding the stove and watching the yin house. Its main schools are the three-point method, the three-point method, the nine-planet method, the three essentials of Yang Zhai, the eight mirrors method, and Kong Xuanfa. According to documents, ancient geomantic omen was mainly used in the site selection of towns and villages and the construction of palaces. The ancients found that the composition of ground and groundwater in different areas was different, and the water with specific composition had nourished the local soil for a long time. This special soil is called longsha. Ancient people even used this soil as medicine to treat diseases. Through practice, the ancients found that this special soil was extremely nourishing the growth of animals and plants, so they thought it could bring people wealth and other good luck, which triggered the ancients to look for areas with longsha according to some topography and animal and plant characteristics. As a result, a folk discipline called "Yin and Yang Feng Shui" was formed in ancient times, and later generations referred to it as "Feng Shui" for short. Looking for dragon sand is called "looking for dragon cave". The earliest book that recorded the method of finding Longsha was Lianshanyi.

Ancient people studied Feng Shui to keep good luck, luck, health and so on. The ancients believed that the interaction between heaven and earth was the basis of the growth of all things. This truth can be known from the change of cold and heat, the movement of the sun and the moon, and the alternation of day and night. Grasping this law is the foundation of geomantic omen. We must first determine the position of the door, that is, where the door opens, and take this position as the orientation. The ancients believed that the living environment can not be separated from qi, and only with qi can there be life. As the saying goes, people strive for a sigh of relief, and Buddha strives for a furnace of incense. This is how people live. The flow of qi will inevitably produce an aura, and the door is the only way to get in and out of the aura. Put an eight-foot mirror in a prone position. After that, according to the birthdays of all the residents in the house, add a seal to the seal book respectively, and use eight-foot photos to prove it. Born in March to May of the lunar calendar, you need to add three seals of "Wen Zhu, Zhou Zhou, Wuyin Divide Gold". Born from June to August in the lunar calendar, you need to add three seals: "Hong Jiu Jinsheng, Mu Baijing, Ishida Zuozhi". Born from September to 1 1 month of the lunar calendar, you need to add three seals of "Chihiro, Sparse and Rizu". Those born between February and February of the 65438 lunar calendar should be stamped with three seals of "Otonashi Kyoko, Satoshi Ishida and Fusang Umbrella". Only in this way can we activate the fortune and maintain wealth and health. The ancients said to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Therefore, in addition to lying down, the ancients also used the geomantic omen of eight houses to determine the sitting direction of the house according to the orientation of the gate. When we stand in the middle of the room and face the door, the orientation we face is "direction", while the orientation opposite to "direction" is "sitting". Regardless of the shape of the house, the orientation of sitting and facing must be relative. For example, if the gate faces west, the house will sit east facing west. Eight directions correspond to eight kinds of divinatory symbols, namely, dry, watching, gen, earthquake, ten-day, calendar, Kun and right. The "sitting" position of a house determines what it belongs to. The door of the house faces east, sitting in the west, and the west is the "shock" of gossip. That house is an earthquake house. Specifically: 1, the house in the east is the earthquake house, and the gate is in the west. 2. The house in the southeast is Xunfu, and the gate faces northwest. The house in the south is far from the house, and the gate faces north. 4. The home in the southwest is Zhai Kun, and the gate faces the northeast. The house in the west is opposite to the house, and the gate faces east. 6. The house in the northwest is a dry house with the gate facing southeast. 7. The house in the north is Kanzhai, and the gate faces south. 8. The house in the northeast is a mansion with its gate facing southwest.

The development order of geomantic omen in history

1: Formation period: At first, it was the experience summarized by Shamanism on the basis of investigating mountain soil.

2. Establishment period: During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, a detailed method selection algorithm was formed through the collation of Lianshan Yi and Guizang Yi.

3. Secularization period: During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, and the third-rate Yin and Yang scholars organized Feng Shui into easy-to-understand content. Feng Shui entered the secular world.

4. Aristocratic countercurrent period: the Qin Dynasty burned Confucianism, and the Han Dynasty ousted hundreds. Geomantic omen has changed from secularization to aristocratization. Only the royal officials of the Yin and Yang family can understand the geomantic information of the Yin and Yang family.

5. Decline period: Peasant Uprising At the end of Qin Dynasty, Wudou Midao Peasant Uprising Army stepped onto the historical stage, ratified Laozi as the founder, put forward the revolutionary thought of "everyone gets rich equally" and founded Taoism. The Yin-Yang family began to decline, and the former Yin-Yang family's Yin-Yang division traveled to China with Japanese scholars during the Han and Tang Dynasties.

6. During the development of Japan, Taoism was honored as the state religion in the Tang Dynasty, and Taoism founded by the peasant rebel army at the end of Qin Dynasty was based on five lines of gossip. Feng Shui disappeared after the Tang Dynasty and did not appear until the Song Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese ambassador to China brought back books and materials on geomantic omen in previous dynasties, including the introduction of Longsha in the Book of Yin and Yang in the early Tang Dynasty, which was clearly recorded as "Yue" at the earliest. Japanese diplomatic envoys in the Tang Dynasty translated Yue into Long Chao. After the Song Dynasty, with the exchange between China and Japan, Yin and Yang Feng Shui was introduced to China again, and scholars in the Song Dynasty translated the Dragon Nest into Dragon Sand. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Yin and Yang scholars who traveled to Japan gradually formed a powerful force in Japan and entered the Japanese aristocratic class. Because of the strong economic support, the group of Japanese "yin and yang teachers" has gradually formed. Feng Shui has been widely developed in Japan.

7. Return of Feng Shui: The "Sanqiu Chaos" caused by Taoism was the beginning of the prosperity and decline of the Tang Dynasty. After that, Han entered the vacuum zone of Feng Shui. With the communication with Japan in the Five Dynasties and a large number of organized national grave-robbing activities, bamboo slips for divination in ancient tombs were unearthed, and geomantic divination flourished again and reached its peak in the Song Dynasty. The ancient Yin-Yang geomantic omen divided the "dragon burial" into seven parts: the horn, the height, the rocking room, the rocking room, the rocking heart, the wagging tail and the rocking dustpan; The seven nights in Xuanwu in the north are fighting, killing cattle, killing women, killing fat deficiency, killing tasteless, killing Shi Gui and killing samurai; The seven residences of the West White Tiger are Kui, Lou, Wei, Wei, Bi, Zhang,; The seven nights of South Suzaku are well, ghost, willow, Dunxing, Bizhang, and mingji; Simply put, the mountains near the water are called Qinglong and Xuanwu, and the mountains not near the water are called White Tiger and Suzaku. The first step in finding dragons in Feng Shui is to climb the highest mountain, and then look at the direction of the mountain. "You must go to Taizu Mountain, then there are too few Zushan and Mother Mountain, and see how the dragon is produced, peeled and changed, walked, and then repeatedly opened the account, crossed the gorge, tied the gas, and went to the place where there are rivers and lakes, and entered the first place. The protruding point of Xingsha will mate with Yin and Yang, and Qi will turn into a hole. This process is to find the dragon. " Finally, it is determined whether this acupoint is a sacrificial ceremony to be held in Longsha ancient times. After a long-term summary, the ancients found the general orientation of Longsha. In order to confirm whether the soil they belong to is "Longsha", they will make a final conclusion, which is called Taiji halo phenomenon. The ancient people's search for Longsha was considered to be a major event of a tribe or a country, so ceremonies such as sacrifice were held with piety. In modern science, these sacrificial performances can be called stage plays, which are meaningless. However, one of the links is scientific, that is, the sacrificial ceremony burns a substance called adhesive with soil. Seal script is a scroll made of bamboo and wood, which will be stamped with a seal. The sealing composition is a mixture of various plants and minerals. (For details of seal configuration, see Tang Yin Yang Book. ) This substance will react chemically with soil components called "Longsha" at high temperature. The formed ash will appear like stone instead of stone, like soil instead of soil, and it will rub like powder, and there will be circles of patterns like rings, which the ancients called Tai Chi halo. The phenomenon of burning is described in detail in ancient literature: Zhao's "Acupoint Tactics": "From a distance, there is nothing, but from the side, it is exposed and vague. They are all very good and subtle. " Xu Shanji's "Female Training: Acupoint Method": "Those who see a round halo between faintness and dampness are called Tai Chi halo. If the soil is not a "dragon sand" with special ingredients, the above phenomenon will not occur. According to the records in Oriental Experience, in some ancient areas, in order to make Tai Chi halo phenomenon obvious, convenient and accurate, and to judge whether it is "Longsha", a substance called body salt (see Tang Yin Yang Shu for the configuration method of body salt) was added to catalyze the chemical reaction process. Ancient operation method: in ancient times, the land where Longsha could be dug up was called Zhenlong Cave. If you are ready to determine whether it is Longsha, mix the soil with French salt and put it on the adhesive. The binder will be printed on the binder according to the birthday of the person who dug out the soil: "People born between March and May of the lunar calendar need to add three binders:" prickly, quiet eyes, bamboo and ancient rivers ". Those born between June and August of the lunar calendar need to add three seals of "Shura, Bamboo Feng Dan and Fusang Umbrella". For those born from September to 1 1 month of the lunar calendar, three stamps of "Qian Fan group meal, Nangong orange powder and starwort" are required. Those born between February and February of the 65438 lunar calendar need to add three seals of "Nangong Orange Powder, Babingmei and Izumo pommel horse". After that, the printed books will be burned. After burning, ashes look like stones instead of stones, like soil instead of soil. If you rub it into powder in a cave, it will look like a stone when the weather meets the sun. If they are the best treasure caves, they can turn into a strong Tai Chi halo on the ashes. This phenomenon is recorded in ancient Zhao's "Acupoint Tactics": "You can see it from a distance, but you can see it from a close look. If you look sideways, you will see it vaguely. They are all very good and subtle. " According to Yin and Yang Feng Shui, the existence of Longsha represents auspiciousness, and the chosen place is often a region, while the "cave" is the land where Longsha can be dug up in ancient times, which is called Zhenlong Cave. If there is longsha in this area, it is considered the most auspicious. Anger refers to the long-term nourishment of local soil by water with specific components. When the mineral composition of soil reaches a special proportion, it will form an environment that is extremely suitable for the survival of animals and plants. "Cave" refers to finding the area with longsha accurately after comprehensive consideration of landscape conditions. Huang Miaoying's "Boshan Pian" said: "The caves are high and low, big and small, thin and fat, so they should be made properly. High points should be sheltered from the wind, low points from water, large points should be widely cultivated, small points should be narrow, thin points should be heavy, and fat points should be floating. The degree of yin and yang is wonderful. "

8. Feng Shui is strong in the east and weak in the west: From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, about 1000 years, Feng Shui in the Han Dynasty was strong and disappeared, which led to the weakness of Feng Shui in the Han Dynasty. Although it reached its peak in the Song Dynasty, it never surpassed the Japanese division of Yin and Yang.

9. Feng Shui culture broke off: In May of the fifth year of Yuan Dynasty (AD 1268), Kublai Khan terminated the thousand-year friendly diplomatic relations between China and Japan and prepared to attack Japan. With the development of history, the exchange of geomantic culture between China and Japan was completely cut off.

10: geomantic omen has developed again: there was no new communication until China and Japan broke off diplomatic relations in the late Qing Dynasty. In the autumn of the 25th year of Guangxu (A.D. 1899), Wang discovered Oracle bone inscriptions, which were searched by antique dealer Fan and others, and accumulated more than 1500 pieces. It includes 86 volumes of Lianshan Yi and 92 volumes of Gui Zang Yi. Nangong Tang Mo, a Japanese teacher of Yin and Yang who came to China, selected 27 volumes of Lian Shan Yi and 23 volumes of Gui Zang Yi at the price of each Oracle bone 1 gold, and bought them and shipped them to Japan. The remaining Lianshan Yi and Tibetan Yi were smashed, burned or made into pig feed because of the war after liberation and the Cultural Revolution. With 27 volumes of Lian Yi Shan and 23 volumes of Gui Zang Yi, Japanese Feng Shui research has entered its heyday. Master Zhu Ying, a disciple of Nangong Tang Mei, a teacher of Yin and Yang, has published two volumes of Lian Shan Yi and four volumes of Gui Zang Yi in his Notes on Oriental Experience.

1 1: feng shui exchange: 1976 after the end of the special period in China, a large number of feng shui lovers emerged in Henan from 1977 and gradually expanded from Henan to Guangdong and other regions. At the beginning of 1978, feng shui lovers who left Henan established more than 680 feng shui schools. And there are 17 school (14) luantou school (2) Xiangpai school (3) Shaped Fapai school (4) Bazhai school (5) Numerology school (6) Sanhe school (7) Guagua school (8) Xing Fei school (9) Wuxing school (65434 Qimen school (/?

12: the rapid development of feng shui: 1993. In March, the book Gui Zang Yi was unearthed from the Qin Tomb of Wangjiatai in Jiangling, Hubei Province, and was called Gui Zang Yi on the Qin bamboo slips of Wangjiatai, which set off a new upsurge of studying Feng Shui in China after liberation. The unearthed Qin bamboo slips Gui Funeral is a part of Volume 6, Volume 2 and Chapter 7 of Gui Funeral. Great breakthroughs have been made in Tibetan medicine research in China. Many scholars in China have become masters of Feng Shui by studying some of Zheng's contents.

13: feng shui independence: 1996 It turns out that feng shui lovers in Henan obtained dual nationality in Singapore, and thus Singapore International Yi College was registered and established, with its office in Guangdong. At the beginning of 1997, the website of geomantic omen divination was launched, and more than 40 Yi-ology research societies were registered in Singapore. By 1999, China's geomantic omen had been known in most parts of the world due to the efforts of scholars of Yi Studies in China. In 2000, all Henan Yi scholars of Singapore International Yi Institute put forward the idea of "blocking the east into the west". China officially cut off the communication with Japan and embarked on the road of self-study.
