Geomantic knowledge

The Origin, Development and Schools of Feng Shui

The formation of geomantic omen in China has a long history, which can be traced back to ancient times.

primitive society

Although there was no geomantic omen, due to the survival challenges brought by the harsh natural environment and the value of the farming and animal husbandry society, people at that time had to "choose a place to live" and choose a place that was "near the water and rising in the sun" and suitable for human reproduction. This is an adaptive choice. After entering the civilized society, Feng Shui was immediately recorded in written records, such as Oracle Bone Inscriptions, where there are many records about the house. From a large number of Oracle Bone Inscriptions and The Book of Songs unearthed in later generations, it can be seen that in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, China people divided land areas into different landforms such as mountains, harbors, hills, plains, tombs and hills, and divided water areas into rivers, springs, rivers, streams, marshes, rivers and streams. At that time, they classified the differences of the earth very carefully, which is the development of "Xiangxue" in the future. In Shangshu, the territory at that time was divided into Kyushu by rivers and mountains, which is also the origin of the name "Kyushu" in China. In "Zhou Li", a passage appeared: "Take the method of suitable soil, use two kinds of soil to do famous things, use houses to unload their interests, enrich the people, care for birds and animals, and care for vegetation." The term "Xiang Min's House" began to appear, and a knowledge system of "adapting to local conditions" appeared. "Yizhoushu" contains "everything can be cured when the soil is suitable for the weather". It can be seen that the word "the soil is suitable for the weather" echoes the weather. Attaching the sky to the ground was the rule that all things obeyed at that time, and it was also the method of governing things, which therefore became the basis of Feng Shui in later generations. During the Zhou Dynasty, when Zhou Wuwang built Luoyi, he ordered the Duke of Zhou to inspect the land. It is recorded in Shangshu that "Zhao Gong loves me, loves my dog, and Duke Zhou went to camp for a week, so he sent a message." It can be seen that people in the Zhou Dynasty believed in divination, and Duke Zhou was also a master of physiognomy.

Warring States period and pre-Qin period

With the development and prevalence of Zhouyi and the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, various academic thoughts began to be established, with "looking up to the sky and leaning down to geography" as the leading factor. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he not only inherited the previous concept of "soil suitability" but also became more specific, and at the same time began to have the concept of "qi". From the Book of Jin, we know that "when the emperor first observed the spirit, he said,' Jinling will have the spirit of the emperor in 500 years', so the emperor invaded the east to suppress it, changed its land to the edge, and cut the northern mountain to the extreme." At that time, there was a saying that "it is irritating", which shows that there are professional workers in the Feng Shui industry. According to Volume 95 of Taiping Universe, there was a mountain in Changshui County (now south of Jiaxing County, Zhejiang Province) in the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shihuang heard the warlock say that there was a king on the mountain, so he sent a group of death row prisoners to dig the mountain. The prisoners couldn't stand the hard work and dispersed in a hubbub.

Qin dynasty

The Epang Palace, built by Qin Shihuang, covers an area of nearly 300 Li, with valleys all over the palace, Nanshan as the gate and Fan Chuan as the pool. The front hall of Afang can seat nearly ten thousand people. At the beginning, the royal family used 700 thousand civilian workers to dig out Mount Li and go deep into the three rest areas. The scale is unprecedented. There is also the first Mausoleum, which covers a wide area and has a large scale. The implementation of these two projects shows that the landform level of Qin Dynasty is very high, from which it is not difficult to understand the superb geographical survey technology of Qin Dynasty, and it can also be attributed to the developed landform. In fact, as early as the pre-Qin period, there were house-hunting activities, on the one hand, it was the residence of the living, on the other hand, it was the cemetery of the dead. "Shangshu" contains "A prosperous king wants to stay in the city, so that Zhao Gong can stay in the government first." This is the Xiangyang building. "The Book of Filial Piety" contains "predicting the omen of his house but not hearing it." This is Xiangyin House, and the location was chosen by divination.

Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-25 AD)

Technology is relatively more popular. According to Sima Qian's historical records, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty got together and asked if anyone could marry him, but Kanyujia saidno. At this time, Kanyujia was proficient in astronomy and geography, and physiognomy was also called "physiognomy". In the Eastern Han Dynasty, people began to pay attention to funeral, which led to the rise of the concept of Feng Shui. Wang Chong's Lun Heng described the funeral taboo in detail. People in the Eastern Han Dynasty paid great attention to the living environment. The theory of "let the house have fertile fields and broad houses, with the hills facing the water, ditches and ponds looking around, bamboo and wood paved around, gardens built in front and orchards built behind trees" mentioned in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty has become the basic theory of later houses. There are also some geomantic works in Han Dynasty, such as "The Golden Chamber of Kanyu", "Terrain of Palace House", "Migration Law" and "Art of Painting Academy", which indicate that geomantic omen has been preliminarily summarized in theory.

Wei and Jin dynasties

There are many Feng Shui masters in China, the most famous of which is Guo Pu. His Funeral Book draws on the art of Feng Shui from the traditional art of Feng Shui, defines the art of Feng Shui, constructs the theory of Feng Shui in an all-round way, and lays the foundation for the art of Feng Shui in later generations. The "geomantic omen" initiated by him, water comes first, followed by Tibetan wind, has been circulated for more than 1,700 years, and it is even more brilliant today. China people used to call Guo Pu the originator of Feng Shui.

Sui dynasty

Comparatively speaking, I don't believe in geomantic omen, but I have a famous master of geomantic omen, Xiao Ji, who wrote such famous works as Treasure of Geomantic omen, House Classic, Buried Classic and Justice of Five Elements, which are admired by later generations. He once chose a lucky place for the queen. The emperor did not listen to his advice and predicted that the luck of the Sui Dynasty would not last long. When Yang Gongren, the prime minister of Sui Dynasty, moved to his ancestral grave, he invited five or six groups of Feng Shui masters to see the land. One of them, Shu Chuo, was rewarded for guessing what was underground. It can be seen that Feng Shui was still prevalent at that time.

the Tang Dynasty

In the rare heyday in China's history, various kinds of academics also rose widely, which further promoted the development of Feng Shui theory and formed a relatively perfect theoretical system. At that time, most literate people knew Feng Shui, and a large number of famous teachers appeared. Among them, Yang Junsong, a geomantic master of Jiangxi School, played a comprehensive role in promoting folk geomantic exploration and mentoring practice. Since then, palaces, villages and tombs have been influenced by the theory of geomantic omen to varying degrees in the vast land of China. The famous Tang Xuanzong also believed in geomantic omen, and there are many records of geomantic omen in Datang Xinyu and Taiping Guangji. At that time, Taoist priests also knew Feng Shui very well. In the Tang dynasty, there was a "division" who looked at the astronomical phenomena, so the officials of the division must know Feng Shui. Yang Junsong worked as a prison in Sitian, and Tang Xizong made him a Buddhist. The official was Dr. Jin Guanglu, who was in charge of the geography of Lingtai. It can be seen that the geomantic omen in the Tang Dynasty was not only believed by the people, but also valued by the imperial court. Yang Junsong later spread the palace geomantic book in Jiangxi, and disciple Yingmen had a great response. The national strength of the Tang Dynasty was strong, and its territory expanded to the western regions. We can find The House Classic and The Book of Yin and Yang in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, and we can see that the concept of Feng Shui has spread far and wide in the northwest.

Five Dynasties and Ten States

Following the prevailing concept of geomantic omen in the Tang Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties believed in geomantic omen. In the following weeks, geomantic omen was added with many superstitious colors, making it difficult for the world to distinguish between true and false.

Song dynasty

Famous Yi-ology scholars Chen Tuan, Zhu, Cai, etc. interpreted and identified Feng Shui, and published some Feng Shui works one after another, forming a theoretical system of Feng Shui with Jiangxi School of Form and Fujian School of Philosophy as the main body. Song Huizong believes in Feng Shui. He has no children. A warlock told him that if the terrain in the northwest corner of the capital was raised several times, he would get a child, so he ordered people to do it and got a child. Therefore, they believed in geomantic omen more, and ordered people to choose a treasure land and build the "Shangqing Baozhuan Palace". As a result, people and money were empty, the national treasury was empty, and even the regime fell. There were many Feng Shui masters in Song Dynasty, such as Lai Wenjun, Chen Tuan, Xu, Wu Jinglian, Fu and Cai.

Ming dynasty

When Zhu Yuanzhang established Jinling as the capital, he attached great importance to geomantic omen. Most of the mountains outside the city face the city and tend to bend towards the arch. Only Niushou Mountain and Huashan Mountain are backed by the city wall. Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy, so he sent people to beat Niushoushan with a hundred sticks and cut a hole in the wall of the cow with iron rope, which made Niushoushan turn inward. At the same time, due to a large number of logging on Huashan Mountain, the mountain became bald and yellow. When the Ming Dynasty became an ancestor, it moved its capital to Beijing, which was built in full accordance with the concept of geomantic omen. Cheng Zu of Ming Dynasty was an emperor who believed in geomantic omen, which led all people to attach importance to geomantic omen, and geomantic omen became a very important criterion in Ming people's life. The Ming Tombs, a famous scenic spot in Beijing, was recommended to Ming by Liao, a master of geomantic omen, and became the mausoleum area of the Ming emperor. There was also a legend Liu Bowen in the Ming Dynasty. According to folklore, he is good at Feng Shui, saying that Jinling, his capital, is the place where he looks, and a book called Splendid Land is named after him.

Ching Dynasty

There is a celestial supervisor who is not only responsible for observing astronomical phenomena, but also for building tombs, because the emperors of the Qing Dynasty believed in geomantic omen and attached great importance to the location of tombs. The Qing Dongling Mausoleum is 125 km long from north to south and 26 km wide from east to west, covering three suburban counties in Beijing with a total area of 2,500 square kilometers. It is an extremely huge royal cemetery, which shows that the Qing emperor attached importance to the feng shui of the mausoleum. The Forbidden City, which has been well preserved so far, is a classic masterpiece built in strict accordance with Feng Shui, and its majestic momentum has conquered many people in the world. There were also Buddhist mansions in the Qing Dynasty, with more than 400 Buddhist teachers. Because of their generous salaries, these Buddhist teachers devoted their lives to the dynasty and the emperor. Guo Shifu's tasks are: first, to find a good geomantic land for the dynasty and arrange its use; The second is to destroy the geomantic omen of folk geography, so that people dare not resist the court and cannot seize the throne. This is an example of feudal rulers using intangible geography and geomantic science as ruling tools.

Throughout history, the pre-Qin period was the gestation period of Feng Shui theory, the Song Dynasty was the prevailing period, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties were the flooding period. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, through the collection and arrangement of various Feng Shui books and the continuous exploration and research of scholars, the theory of Feng Shui has been quite complete. Feng Shui master's reconnaissance activities cover all kinds of places from imperial palaces to urban and rural houses.

From the Republic of China to the present

Scholars mainly reevaluate and study the traditional Feng Shui culture in China. In the last century, Feng Shui had a great market in old China. The mausoleum of Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of our country, was determined by the famous geomantic master Shen Zhu after repeated investigations. After liberation, Feng Shui theory suffered a heavy blow and continued to exist as a custom. After 1970s, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States set off an upsurge of "learning" China's geomantic omen, which led to more and more foreigners using geomantic omen theory to guide their lives. Nowadays, a large number of "scholars" regard modern science as feudal superstition to better "develop" Feng Shui and interpret it as "environmental science", which is really a waste of time.

In the method of regulating qi, it can be roughly divided into two schools, with several branches. The school that directly uses gossip and hexagrams to manage qi is the hexagram school. Including Bazhai School, Kong Xuan Xing Fei School (there are six schools with more than 100 primary schools), Qimen Feng Shui, Heluo Feng Shui, Dayuan Yi Li School, Jinsuo Guan Yu and so on. The school that adopted the principles of Hetu, Luoshu, Bagua, Yin and Yang and Five Elements in past dynasties is the Five Elements School. Including Yang Gong Feng Shui, New Trinity School, Numerology Feng Shui, Zhengwuxing Feng Shui, etc. At present, Feng Shui in China has developed into many schools of Feng Shui, and each school of Feng Shui has different theories. The following is a detailed introduction for you:

(1) Situational School: (1) Luan Tou School (2) Imagist School (3) Formal School.

(2) Rational style: (1) Bazhai School (2) Numerology School (3) Sanhe School (4) Guagua School (5) Xing Fei School (6) Wuxing School (7) Kong Xuanda Gua School (8) Bagua School (9) Nine Planets Feibo School (10).

(3) numerology: according to the time of birth, it expounds the influence of geographical environment on people.

Peach Blossom Devil and Peach Blossom Robbery

Peach blossom evil and peach blossom robbery are two important concepts in marriage feng shui or peach blossom luck, and they are also important feng shui layout related to our emotional problems. Here again: Feng Shui refers to the environment, which is the environment in time and space, that is, it has the concept of time. The ancient people's experience summary of time-space change and environmental reflection is not as dogmatic as some modern people understand, and the ancient concept of Feng Shui is relatively dialectical. Therefore, the study of peach blossom evil spirit and peach blossom robbery should be viewed dynamically and analyzed according to people's needs.

Taohuasha

Peach blossom, also known as salty pond, is widely used in four-column prediction, based on the observation of other branches on the day of the year. The ancients thought that peach blossom was also the god of debauchery, so there was a saying of "a knife on the head of the color word", because meridian was the blade of the sheep, and the blade of the sheep meant a knife. Peach blossom has many names in numerology, including spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The first month to March is Yangchun, which is the season when peach blossoms bloom, hence the name Taohuachun. The ancients went on a spring outing in March, and poets and ladies opened their hearts and told each other their hearts. Peach blossoms are fragrant ... Peach blossoms are based on wood. There is also a more detailed statement that Xinmao is a dead peach blossom, Guimao and Jimao are living peach blossoms, Yi Mao is a kind peach blossom, and Ding Mao is a lewd peach blossom. Dead peach blossoms don't bloom well, but live peach blossoms bloom well; Kind peach blossoms are kind-hearted and harmless; People who love peach blossoms have low manners and are known for their lewdness.

Peach blossoms from April to June are called peach blossom fans when peach trees bear fruit. Because April, May and June are summer, which is the season for people to enjoy the cool and cool off, fans have become pets in the hands of literati. People who take noon as peach blossom are elegant and free (fire is a symbol of civilization). But there are also classifications: dead peach blossoms at noon, live peach blossoms in Wu Jia, ceremonial peach blossoms at noon in C, withered peach blossoms at noon in E, and golden peach blossoms at Wu Geng. Therefore, people who take afternoon as a peach blossom are generally responsible for their own lives.

July to September is the golden autumn, which is the golden season, hence the name Peach Blossom Knife. You are the real peach blossom knife, the strongest peach blossom knife, and you are the lust peach blossom. People who eat this peach blossom have a particularly strong kidney function. A friend is a rootless peach blossom, and Ji You is a living peach blossom. Anyone who wears a peach knife, whether married or in love, is prone to fight.

10 to 12 is winter, which is a time to hide and a season to enjoy for the ancients. Inevitably drinking and having fun, hence the name peach blossom wine. Because of the impromptu enjoyment after drinking in ancient dusty places, peach blossoms are the most lewd. Prince peach blossom wine is the best, followed by Gengzi, Bingzi and Wuzi are dead peach blossoms, and Jiazi is a benevolent peach blossom. Those who take peach blossom wine have strong kidney function and strong lust. Peach blossoms are different among the four pillars because of their respective pillars. Peach blossoms in the column are the first and the early years; Moon column, chest and shoulders, teenagers, peach blossoms in season; The person in the column is abdomen, not middle-aged; It is the feet that stand at the right time, not the old age.

The whole truth

"Peach Blossom Robbery" is aimed at "Peach Blossom Luck", mainly aimed at married people and families.

How can I understand the horoscope?

1. 1. It is best to analyze the daily work intensity in three parts: a. Did you receive the order in the current month? . B.is it in the other three branches? Did you get help from the cadres? Getting the order is more important, then the land, then the help. Land is like a house to live in, and help is like relief from friends and elders. It is better to ask for help than to ask for help. In this way, you can make a general analysis. After more analysis, you will naturally have an idea. It is a beginner to analyze the intensity of daily work.

Step 2, you can analyze this person's specific situation, such as whether he has money or not. Are there any officials? Do you have a degree? Wait a minute. How come? UYD Shun 'an Feng Shui (Feng Shui Auspicious Network) is very simple. Such as analyzing wealth. First, analyze the strength of wealth according to the method of analyzing daily work. If the conclusion is that the body is strong and the wealth is strong; Strong in body and weak in wealth; Weak in body and strong in wealth; Weak body and weak money. This is part of the original analysis.

3. The third part is to analyze the use of God. If you want to use God, you might as well master the greatest rule of using God: restraining the strong and helping the weak. Other methods should be put aside to avoid confusion, and finally you will be in a dilemma. For example, in the above conclusion, if you are physically strong and economically weak, you will naturally eat with God and make money by venting your body. If you are weak and rich, you will naturally use God to help you.

4. The fourth part is the analysis of Universiade. If the eight characters are strong and weak, they will help the money, use the gods in place, be naturally rich, and then help the body. It is difficult to make a fortune without a fairy in place. If the eight-character body is weak and the wealth is strong, luck helps the body, and it is natural to be rich with God in place, and luck helps the fortune again. It is naturally difficult to make a fortune without God.

5. Degree of analyst, etc. It's true. As for the analysis of income, or the severity of poverty and disaster, it is impossible to grasp for a while. The principle is that the original eight characters used the strength of divine power, which can be understood for a long time.

6. Someone asked how to analyze the strength of divine power? If we go further, we should pay attention to the analysis of Chongke. If Japan's dry land is washed away after only one ranking, it will be much weaker. For example, if you have a house, people will take it away and lead to displacement. For example, Ding Mao and Ding Ben of the Japanese column are very weak, which depends entirely on Mao Mu, but every month's orders will meet Unitary, Unitary will rush to Mao, and so on. Ding Ben is weak, because of compliance, and the moon meets the sea. From the analysis of whether or not to obtain the moon order, Ding can't make a moon in the sea, but the sea and Mao Ben are the opposite. For example, Mao Ben helped my elders in Haiyue. Because he was helped by others, he naturally had more power to help Ding Rigan. In the Covenant, the elders themselves were injured and could no longer help Ding. -This part is to help analyze the power of being and using God.

7. The above is only a general view. If you master most of the eight characters, maybe you can cultivate your interest first. Of course, many of them still have some characters that are difficult to understand. You might as well put them aside first, and you will understand them naturally when you are proficient. Otherwise, if you continue, if you are not a beginner, you may be confused.

What is the opening? Why should feng shui items be lit?

The so-called "opening the light" means that people with certain spiritual achievements can eliminate the bad magnetic field of objects by holding spells and giving them special spiritual strength, such as .....................................................................................................................................
