Feng Shui of the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Feng Shui

The Feng Shui classic "Huang Di House Classic", also known as "House Classic", was the famous Qing Dynasty university scholar Ji Xiaolan evaluation as "in the arts in the Judaism is the most nearly ancient", "its method of twenty-four road test to find the blame, to the position of the eight potential to the Qiankan, Burgundy, Zhen and eternity for the Yang, Sundown from the Kun Tui and Hundred Days for the yin, yang for the Ohio for the head, Si for the tail, and the main in the yin and yang to get, quite righteous. For the tail, Yin to Si for the head, Ohio for the tail, and the main yin and yang get, quite righteous, the language is also elegant and tame." By analyzing the theoretical origins and the structural framework of the orientation and construction of the relationship between human and residential welfare in the "Huang Di House Classic", not only can we see the origin of Feng Shui in China since ancient times, but also the relevant theories in the "Huang Di House Classic" have directly influenced the Feng Shui theories of the yang house in the later generations. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Mansions inherits the ancient Feng Shui traditions of the Han and Tang dynasties, and categorizes houses into "yin houses" and "yang houses" based on the theory of yin and yang. Note that the "Yin Mansion" and "Yang Mansion" mentioned in the book "Huangdi Zhaijing" refer to human dwellings, and the Yin Mansion does not refer to cemeteries, the "Yin Mansion" and "Yang Mansion" refer to human dwellings. Yin Mansions" and "Yang Mansions" refer to two types of human dwellings. This is the ancient method of Feng Shui before the Tang Dynasty - "Yin and Yang two houses twenty-four road method".

<Explanation> Huang Di House Classic of the yin and yang houses, are referred to the yang house, yin house does not mean the cemetery. Yin and yang houses are both yang houses, two types of yang houses. Judgment method: regardless of the distance, as far as thousands of miles, hundreds of miles, as close as a hundred paces, ten paces, as long as from the southeast Sunda direction of the northwest Qian Fang, from the south of the afternoon direction of the north Zifang, from the west of the You direction of the east of the Mao Fang, from the northwest of the 11th direction of the southeast of the Chen Fang, are called "into the sun", is the yang mansion; from the northwest of the dry direction of the southeast Sunda Fang, from the north of the afternoon direction of the south, from the northeast of the face of the sun. direction, from the north face of the south side of the afternoon, from the northeast Burgundy direction of the southwest Kun Fang, from the east side of the direction of the west side of the You Fang, from the southeast of the direction of the Northwest Qian Fang, are called "into the yin", is a yin mansion. That is to move into the original site to the new site of the orientation to determine whether the house is a yang or yin house. The way of yin and yang lies in the interplay between yin and yang, the balance of yin and yang, the presence of yang in yin, and the presence of yin in yang. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Mansions categorizes dwellings into yang and yin mansions, which are not mechanical and static, but are meant to embody the ****sheng relationship of yin and yang getting each other's way, and yin and yang participating in each other's work. This is different from later generations who call cemeteries yin mansions and human dwellings yang mansions.

<Example> a person formerly living in Chengdu City, a section of Renmin North Road, recently purchased a house in a section of Renmin South Road, this new house is a yin or yang residence? A: "Huang Di House Classic Feng Shui, the north is the Kan position for Yang, the south is away from the position for Yin, this person relocated from the north to the south is from Yang into Yin, therefore, this new house is a Yin house, should be in accordance with the Huang Di House Classic in the layout of the Yin House Figure."

Yin house to the sun, yang house to the yin said

<Original text > Yin, the mother of the biochemical feelings; Yang, the father of the biochemical feelings.

<Explanation> Since ancient times, the Chinese have put forward the idea of yin and yang, the idea that yin and yang is the way of heaven and earth; and is the way of the human family, yin and yang of the gas sympathetic coitus like men and women coitus, nurturing and generating all things. As the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" said: "Yin and Yang, the way of heaven and earth, the program of all things, the parents of change, the birth and death of the original, the House of God also." It means that "Yin and Yang is a phenomenon that is the law of heaven and earth that exists and operates, the root and norm of all things, the parent of things that evolve and evolve, the origin of life and death, and the residence of the soul of the gods". Zhou Dunyi, a famous rationalist in the Song Dynasty, in the "Taiji Diagram", is further summarized clearly: "Wuji and Taiji, Taiji movement and Yang, static Yin. The static pole is again moving, a movement and a static, each other as the foundation, divided into yin and yang, the two poles are established." "Yin and yang harmonize, and give birth to water, fire, wood, gold, earth, the five qi Shunbu, the four seasons." Also said: "Qian Dao into a male, Kun Dao into a female, the two gas sympathy, the birth of all things, all things born, and endless changes." The above discussion describes the attributes of yin and yang. Yang is the father, for the movement; Yin is the mother, for the quiet. Yin and yang two poles must be harmonious and sympathetic into the yin and yang of the gas, biochemical out of water, fire, wood, gold, earth, the five most basic elements of everything, and then the birth of all things, endless.

<Original text> is not only the king of the yang, to the yin for get; Yin is not only the king, to the yang for get.

<Explanation>Laozi's Tao Te Ching says: "Everything is negative Yin and holds Yang, and the Qi is thought to be and". The growth of all things always need to negative yin and hold the sun, facing the sun, to meet the angry, Yang Qi, only conducive to growth. But on the other hand, the intersection of yin and yang qi should also pay attention to the coordination and balance of yin and yang; yin and yang are not balanced, it will produce disease. Yin in yang, yang in yin, everything can be born. If yin and yang do not intersect, and the yin and yang are alone, it will be impossible for everything to be nurtured, let alone grow. This is just like obtaining warmth in winter and seeking shade in summer; a male should be matched with a female and a female with a male; only in this way can all things flourish and the people be harmonized.

<Original text> All of the yang house, that is, there is yang to hold the yin; yin house, that is, there is yin to hold the yang.

<Explanation> Yang's house to the yin side of the house, this does not mean that the north, northwest and other sun can not be back of the yin place, but according to the chenxu a line delineated the yin side of the south-west, south side of the top of the building to be auspicious, or else it is guilty of re-yang problem. The mansion to the yin side of the house, this does not mean facing the east, south and other sunny directions, is still based on the above chenxu a line of delineation of the yang side, that is, the north, the east of the top of the building is auspicious, otherwise, you may commit the mistake of heavy yin.

Gossip, twenty-four ways, with the position of men and women

<Original text > Today, the secret experience, divided into twenty-four ways, gossip, nine palaces, with the position of men and women, set the boundaries of yin and yang.

<Analysis> the so-called "twenty-four roads, gossip, nine palaces with men and women's place", is the eight trigrams according to the eight heavenly gossips, divided into eight directions, and with men and women belonging to the trigrams, gossip eight directions plus the central direction, together with the Palace of the Nine; and then combined with the ten Heavenly Stems, twelve Earthly Branches, by "A Gua tube three-way" principle, to be combined, constituting twenty-four directions, said twenty-four way.

Identify residential good, evil, good and bad

<Original text > House has five virtual, people poor consumption; five real, people rich.

<Explanation> "Huang Di House Classic" in the earliest house pattern and house situation as one of the important indicators of the judgment of the house auspicious and inauspicious, put forward the famous "five real and five virtual" said, that is, "the house has five virtual, it is poor consumption; five real, it is rich. " Obviously, the house is empty, for the evil for evil, the house is real, for the good for good. So, how to judge the virtual reality of the residence? We have to grasp the following elements: both the embodiment of the basic principles of feng shui, to gather gas poly gas; at the same time, but also with China's unique humane reasoning, the pursuit of a family full of children and grandchildren, and their happiness. Residential population is small, the courtyard wall is incomplete, is obviously not conducive to the gathering of qi, the lack of human yang qi, angry house, certainly not good, and therefore for the evil. Door large, small area of housing in the courtyard, both appear to be disproportionate, unattractive outside, but also because of the, door large out of gas, it is difficult to gather anger, the mansion area is large, small houses, appear to be empty, gas is naturally difficult to gather, these are the basic requirements of the principle of feng shui. As for the well stove is not complete, even the minimum living conditions are not available, and human beings do not match, of course, can not be a good house. Five real is relatively good to understand, the population is large, the housing is matched; the courtyard wall is complete, the six animals are thriving, the proportion of the mansion and the gate is harmonized, looking beautiful and decent, of course, is a solid life home, so it is good and auspicious. As for the gutter flow to the southeast, to the five real, also reflects a basic principle of feng shui - that is, the best water from the door of the sky (Qian, northwest), go to the water from the ground door (Xun, southeast) flow away; this is in fact China's general geographic environment decided. In the northwest of mainland China are the Loess Plateau and the Tibetan Plateau, which give birth to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, which flow into the sea to the east and southeast. Therefore, since ancient times, feng shui theories pay extra attention to the incoming and outgoing water side, and to the Qian position of the Heavenly Gate, Xun position of the ground for the right choice.

The feng shui effect of the shape of the house inside and outside

<Original text > Turtle head of the afternoon, will be easy to master. Also cloud obstruction of the main, all the hospitals have, but also inauspicious.

<Explanation>House shape has a great impact on the feng shui of the house, in the good feng shui treasure to build inauspicious house shape, on the auspicious house may also become a mansion of evil. In the "yellow emperor mansion classic" about the feng shui influence of the internal and external shape of the house, the author mentioned, the house taboo in the "noon", that is, the south side of the construction of the shape of the front convex like a tortoise head of the hall, to the north of the shooting houses, this hall for the evil. In the south there is a relatively high north-south vertical house, against the square, also inauspicious. There is a decision cloud: "turtle head afternoon, will be easy to master. Also cloud obstruction of the main, all hospitals have, but also inauspicious." Means that no matter whether the construction of residential housing, or the construction of courtyard villas should be avoided this "evil pavilion". In later generations of yangzhai books, such as "eight house mirror", "yangzhai ten books" is discussed in many residential inside and outside the shape of the auspicious and inauspicious signs. In addition, all houses, regardless of yin and yang house, in the Wu Si, Xun Si direction that is the southeast direction of the tall buildings, is also unfavorable, the front of the house should be open and flat is appropriate.

The feng shui impact of the road, against the road to the house

<Original text > repair the road that is not unlucky to commit against the road has not tasted safe.

<Explanation> construction of homes should not only pay attention to the construction of the order of auspicious and inauspicious parties, should also pay attention to the direction of the road outside the house door and the direction of migration on the auspicious and inauspicious contraindications; as the "Huang Di House Classic" said: "repair the road that is not inauspicious, the offender against the road has not yet tasted the peace." That is to say, according to the house door to the direction of the construction is auspicious, on the contrary, to repair and the door to the road is the opposite of the road will not live in peace. If you move from the east to move into the house, but after you live in the house, you go to repair the road that goes to the west, which is called the road of resistance. The concept of repairing the road and committing against the road is the same as that of feng shui theory in which one should be happy with the water coming and careful with the water going. Because the road is equivalent to the wealth, acceptance of anger; and go to the road (against the road) is to go to the side of the wealth leakage. This concept is somewhat absolute, but in people's psychological behavior, but it is common and happy to accept. In addition, people should also note that, once determined to come to the road, the road is the residential side of the Fude; other directions of migration and do other aspects of business, including marriage, buy farmland or six animals, on the official position, doing business, etc., regardless of the proximity of the home, it is appropriate to live in the Fude side of the house, the longer more auspicious; if the road from the road against the "criminal side of the disaster" to come, for a long time! It is unfavorable. The road in front of the door is the main channel between the residents and the outside world, that is, the feng shui road, should have the feng shui significance of "coming wealth". Therefore, if the road from the east, you can only repair the road in the east side of the house, not in the west side of the road, that would violate the "against the road", easy to lead to the decline of wealth.

The influence of the choice of the day to choose a good fortune on the residence

<Original text > only look at the way of the sky, the sky, the month of Germany, angry to, that is, repair.

<Explanation>The terrain is good, the shape of the house is also good, also in line with the house owner's life seat, but does not necessarily mean that its feng shui must be good. The "mansion scripture" even think, building houses "only look at the heavenly way, heavenly virtue, moon virtue, angry to, that is, repair." And can not need to avoid what generals, Tai Sui, Panther Tail, yellow streamers, black masters, as well as the provisions of the sound surname taboo, as long as the laws of yin and yang two qi can be followed. In fact, this is the element in the Chinese feng shui good and bad luck judgment system - choose the day. According to Feng Shui, whether the day is chosen right or wrong directly affects the Feng Shui fortune or misfortune. This is because Chinese feng shui is particularly concerned with matching the cycle of life, prosperity, decline and death of things, that is, with the change of seasons, things show different states of prosperity, phases, rest, imprisonment and death. Want that is the meaning of the king, in a state of prosperity; phase that is the meaning of the prime minister, belonging to the second state of prosperity; Hugh, that is, rest, retirement state; prisoner, that is, the decline of the state of imprisonment; death, that is, the state of being restrained, has been lifeless. Feng Shui theory, people will not only the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the five basic elements of the composition of things, and the peak phase of the rest prisoner death corresponds to; but also the twelve branches of the earth and the twelve months corresponds to the whole process of things from birth to death, that is, the twelve longevity of the Palace: longevity, bathing, the crown with, Lingguan, Diwang, bad, sick, dead, grave, extinction, fetus, raise. Lingguan and Diwang represent the heyday of prosperity, and the directions and timing of this stage are auspicious in Feng Shui. On the other hand, death, grave, and extinction are the worst period of things, the direction and time of this stage, feng shui is naturally evil.

Month-by-month anger, death orientation said

<Original text > twelve months of the year, each month there is anger, death of the position. However, the person who fixes the position of monthly anger, the blessing comes to the set, the monthly anger and the heavenly way, the monthly virtue combines its auspicious path. Commitment to the death of the month of the position, for the evil also.

<Explanation> a year, each month has angry, dead air position, repair and construction of the earth should be selected in the month of anger position, so that the blessing will naturally come. If the month of anger and Tian De, Yue De Shen Fu is located in the azimuth of coincidence, it is more auspicious. If they are in conflict, there will be evil disasters. In the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Mansions, the directions of the month's anger and death are listed in specific detail, "The side of good fortune, diligently follow the Heavenly Virtue and the Moon Virtue to repair. Make clean, broad and thick, that is, a family to be safe, glory and wealth", that is, in the angry camping, especially in the Tian De, Yue De direction diligently build, make it broad, thick, keep clean, the family will be safe, auspicious, rich. If the house is built in the direction of the Deadly Qi, as well as in the direction of the Five Ghosts, the Deadly Life, and the Penal Scourge, then it will lead to disaster. Corresponding to the above mentioned time and direction of anger and death, there is also the so-called earth energy side. To build a house or a palace, you need to move the earth, and moving the earth will cause protrusions, just as modern construction sites cause environmental pollution by raising dust and breaking up the earth, so you need to avoid facing the direction of the direction of the earth energy. Otherwise, the family will be affected by the disaster. If you have no choice but to face the direction of earth energy, you should try to resolve it. How to calculate the direction and time of anger and death qi for each month? Ancient people set both time and space relationships on the 24 hills of the compass, such as the Ten Stems, which indicate both time and space orientation. Each month's anger is located in the last two hours of the month; for example, for the first month, its anger is located in the last two hours on the month of Zi; therefore, to build in the first month to choose the Zi time and Zi's orientation (due north). Correspondingly, to avoid in the son of the diagonal hedge side of the noon and the noon of the direction (due south), so is the direction of the dead air.

The theory of building a house by first repairing the evil side and then repairing the auspicious side

<Original text > first repairing the criminal scourge, and then repairing the blessing, that is, auspicious; first repairing the blessing, and then repairing the criminal scourge, that is, vicious.

<Explanation>Since ancient times, building a house has been an extremely important event in people's lives. After all, to build a house or renovate a satisfactory housing, to spend a lot of financial, human and material resources, is not an easy thing. Before starting the construction, the first thing that people should consider is the order of construction of the house. In the book "Huang Di House Classic", the idea of fixing the bad side before fixing the good side is clearly put forward. This is because when building a house, people must suppress the evil side. Therefore, if one uses one hundred man-hours of labor for the evil side, one must use two hundred man-hours of labor for the blessed side, and it is auspicious if one overpowers the evil side. If one builds the auspicious side first, and then builds the evil side, one may not be able to suppress the evil side, and thus build a house of evil. Construction of the Yang side of the house, to repair from Ohio, that is, the dragon's head, also clockwise direction to the Chen side of the dragon's tail to repair the Yang side, and then enter the Yin side, only auspicious. Construction of the Yin residence, it is to start from the location of the Si Fang that is the dragon's head to repair, according to the clockwise direction to the Tianmen, the construction of the finished Yin Fang, and then repair the Yang Fang, is auspicious. Yang house should be repaired from the outside, and the yin house is mostly repaired from the inside. If you do not follow this rule to build, it is a great evil omen, the smallest is to lose the official title, the largest is to lose the family. Various other calamities, such as fire, tongue, broken embarrassment, partial blight, bad luck, disease, etc., may be invited to the body. The location of the offense is far away, the time of the disaster is slow to appear, may be half a year, or a year, or two years, or three years before the start of the problem; the offense is close to the charge, then seventy-five days, forty-five days, or not out of a month that is sent.
