Fengshui is undoubtedly a branch of Yijing culture, and its theoretical basis and extension are all within the framework of Yijing. At present, most people in China are fascinated by the Book of Changes, and those who receive modern education often think that the Book of Changes is superstition, but in fact it is ignorance. The Book of Changes is the head of the group and the source of the Tao. This conclusion is actually imprinted in the blood and soul of China people in past dynasties. It can be said that I ching is why she is great. Among them, there is a saying in the book of changes: "people don't know it for daily use."

Is there anything useful that ordinary people don't know about in daily use? For ordinary people, especially in ancient China, the understanding of the Book of Changes itself is not high, and it is even more difficult to learn it. Therefore, many ancient sages expressed the true meaning of the Book of Changes in proverbs and became familiar knowledge. For example, there are still many folk proverbs about geomantic omen. We can try to interpret whether these proverbs are unreasonable.

First, I'm not afraid of dragons, but white tigers look up.

This is a famous sentence in Feng Shui proverbs. Do you want to understand what this sentence is saying? First of all, what is Qinglong? What is a white tiger? Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu are actually called four elephants, which actually correspond to the four elephants of the sun, Taiyin, Shaoyin and Shaoyang in the river map. They are the four gods in China mythology, representing the east, west, south and north respectively. It originated from the belief in stars in ancient China. Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu represent 28 stars in the square respectively, and the positions of the 28 stars in the square are connected. Through the rich imagination of ancestors, the four gods were formed. At the same time, the four ancient gods in China were mainly military, which was a military array.

28 stars

Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu, composed of 28 stars, have five elements, which correspond to the five elements in the river map. East 3 and 8 are wood, and west 4 and 9 are gold. Therefore, Qinglong is a god of celebration and integrity, and it also embodies the characteristics of wood. Wood is in the east, which has the image of kindness. Lush green plants always give people a sense of joy and prosperity. In the west, 4 and 9 correspond to the white tiger, and the five acts of gold have a chilling effect. Contrary to the oriental dragon, the oriental dragon symbolizes the vigorous growth of plants, while the western white tiger kills the main sickle and kills everything in autumn. So for a building, the height of the East represents anger and joy. The west height stands for cold. Therefore, the feng shui connotation expressed in this sentence is actually very rich. That makes sense.

Hetu

Second, the house lacks the southwest corner, either without a wife or with many wives. The stove is in the northwest, and the father's wealth is destroyed.

Any geomantic omen is a knowledge corresponding to mathematics, science and qi. Why does the lack of southwest corner affect my wife? This involves gossip and the knowledge of Jiugong the day after tomorrow. We can regard any courtyard or a modern commercial housing pattern as a whole. Contrast in Jiugong:

Bagua Nine palace map

The layout of traditional residential courtyards is basically square. If the southwest corner of this residential courtyard is missing, then according to the above picture, the southwest is just the second house corresponding to the day after tomorrow. This involves the six subcategories of Bagua Gankun. Easy, like it. Gossip can be like everything, among which the most important gossip is six sons of Gan Kun, that is, the whole gossip corresponds to a family, a father, a man, a man and a man. Kun is the mother, Xun is the eldest daughter, Li is the middle daughter and she is the youngest daughter. This is a complete family. Therefore, it can be seen that for a family, Kunmu is the hostess and corresponds to the southwest in orientation. Kun corresponds to the hostess, whose duty is to collect. So the average woman is right to manage money. But no horn means no hostess, or it is not conducive to the health of the hostess and the collection of family fortune. From this, to expand, if the northwest corner is missing, it is not conducive to the health, luck and career of the male owner. The lack of horns in the east is not good for the eldest son, nor for the eldest daughter in the southeast. It is also true that there are different angles outside corresponding to these directions. Reflected in the human body, Kun soil also corresponds to the abdomen of this human body. If it is a missing corner or facing an external corner, the family system is also prone to problems.

Then why is my father's wealth destroyed when the stove is in the northwest? Because the northwest is the father, the kitchen is the stove, the five actions of the stove are gold, and the five actions of the stove are fire. At the same time, the wealth of dry gold is wood, and the fire leaks wood. Therefore, it is not only bad for my father's health, but also affects my fortune.

Thirty or sixty years, the wind and water turn.

In the previous article, the author has explained why the first-class fairy teacher looks at the stars, the second-class master looks at the Shuikou, and the third-class gentleman walks all over the mountain. In fact, feng shui also contains the element of time. Weather, geographical location and human harmony are the foundation of everything. The feng shui of a place is not static. Although the geography hasn't changed, the weather has changed, so will the geomantic omen. This involves the knowledge of three yuan and nine innings.

Sanyuan jiuyun

Sanyuan Jiuyun is a way of dividing China into ancient times for a long time, which has been recorded in the Old Yellow Calendar since ancient times. It was used with dry calendar and later used for geomantic omen. China's ancient sages, as it is said now, were all astronomy enthusiasts or astronomers. After looking up at the sky for a long time, they found that Saturn and Jupiter meet once every twenty years and are in a straight line. Usually when these two stars meet, some unpredictable geological disasters or natural disasters will happen on the earth. So the ancients paid special attention to the anomalies of these stars. Moreover, they also found that Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury meet in a straight line every 60 years. Every 180 years, the nine planets in the solar system will be distributed in a small fan shape on the same side of the sun, forming a big meeting of the nine planets. This celestial body will never change. They discovered this "secret" and created a "three yuan nine luck" system to divide time. Take 180 as a positive element, and each positive element is divided into Shangyuan, Zhongyuan and Xia Yuan; Every 60 years, it will be shipped in three times, each for 20 years, that is, the first, second and third shipments of Shangyuan, the fourth, fifth and sixth shipments of Zhongyuan and the seventh, eighth and ninth shipments of Xiayuan. So every dollar is exactly sixty years, exactly the same as a sixty-flower jiazi. So with the changes these days, the original good feng shui is not necessarily good, and the bad is not necessarily bad.

Fourth, poor fortune-tellers, rich people burn incense, and ask yin and yang upside down. There are trees in the courtyard, but wives and children don't meet. If there is a deep pit in the hospital, it will definitely hurt the children. There is a big pit behind the house, and the main murderer will not get rich. There must be a room in the hospital called a pocket room. Family wealth is not collected, children are difficult to manage, and there are many uneducated children. The west room is high and the east room is low. The white tiger looks up and the man is in a car accident.

These feng shui proverbs can be found on the internet, and we often hear old people chanting these words in our lives. The author's purpose in writing this article is to let everyone know that in fact, many proverbs are reasonable, and we don't have to sneer at them, whether materialists or idealists. In short, we don't have to remember these things deliberately, but it is still necessary to pay attention when someone around us kindly reminds you! At least it didn't hurt!
