Feng Shui in Kong Xuan: An Overview of Kong Xuan
Excerpt from "A Talk on Wind Grades"
Metaphysical history
Since ancient times, people can't build rooms without choosing the natural ecological environment and the housing structure suitable for their own use, so as to achieve physical and mental peace and family harmony. Thus came ancient geography. Among them, Kong Xuan Feng Shui is a geography with a long history, few descendants and late publicity. The secret of metaphysics has always been in the hands of Zhongzhou School, and only one disciple has been handed down from generation to generation. However, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, a Jiang Dahong suddenly appeared, wrote a book, and said that he was broad-minded and mysterious, and for this reason, he launched a pen war with the popular "Sanhe" school at that time. This pen battle lasted for a hundred years. During Jiaqing and Daoguang years, there was a Zhang Zhongshan in Wuxi, which was connected with Jiang Dahong's mantle from a distance, and the Kong Xuan School was given a statue from then on. Since then, everyone has been mysterious, and the schools of metaphysics have also increased all the way.
"Xuan" and "emptiness"
Kong Xuan explained that "Xuan" is in the sense of words; "Empty" refers to space and orientation. The ancients said that "Heaven Xuan Dihuang" represented heaven with Xuan, symbolizing that time changed due to the operation of astronomical phenomena; Land is used to represent space, which can support all things and be relied on by all things. This shows that ground space and astronomical time are inseparable. Therefore, the principle of metaphysics application is that the interaction between time and space produces good and bad changes.
Since feng shui is related to time and space, we can think that the function of feng shui is to choose the best space in a period of time and avoid misfortune.
Metaphysics of Zhongzhou School has three characteristics:
One: The main methods are exorcising the dragon and walking safely.
Second, take Eight Diagrams on Sunday, River Map and Luoshu as applications.
Three: Based on the objective gas field distribution and natural environment.
As far as its operability is concerned, it takes the compass as a tool, based on Luo Shu's exorcism and nine planetary theorems, and determines the ups and downs by the layout of mountains (buildings) and water (roads) in the natural environment, as well as their combination, and studies the laws of the changes of Yin and Yang in the environment and their relationship between birth and grams, and uses these laws to avoid misfortune. This is the way of regulating qi, both observing the head and observing the head. Carefully study the theoretical basis of its ancient gossip, and both river map and Luo Shu can be used to judge things. The three relations are closely linked and have certain internal relations.
In Mr. Wang Tingzhi's book "Talking about Wind Level", the reasons for the decline and prosperity of Xuan Kongxing are discussed. Is to calculate the energy intensity distribution in a certain space in a specific time. There is a law of needle tip effect in physics: the electric energy and magnetic force of an object must concentrate and diverge to the tip and edge of the object. About twenty years ago, modern scientists discovered the secret of the Egyptian pyramids: put milk and beef in a certain position in the tower, which can not go bad for a long time. Even if the rusty blade is placed in this position, after a period of time, the blade will return to sharpness! This may be because the special structure of the pyramid enables this position to absorb the energy of space to the greatest extent. In China's traditional saying, it is to absorb the "essence of the sun and the moon". In fact, a room with strong static electricity will be greatly weakened after being rearranged by Kong Xuan's method, which may be a proof of energy directionality. Changing the color or placing flowers and water in feng shui adjustment will affect the magnetic field of the environment because of the different refraction of light waves. If this hypothesis can be established, then Kong Xuan can also be explained: that is, to calculate the energy of a set of triangle sides over a period of time.
Long Xing's tactic and An Xing's tactic.
The ancients looked at feng shui and looked at the overall situation first. They will never decide whether a house is good or bad just by looking at its orientation. But first look at the "dragon arrangement", that is, according to the relationship between the location and the nozzle, to determine how many houses to choose, and to take care of the surrounding natural conditions when choosing. Then Anxing. According to the weather, the Three Yuan Nine Games and the vertical columns of the houses in the Palace, we can determine which house is in a favorable position among several available houses by flying stars in the Palace, which is the operation of the space-time relationship. The direction of the house is determined, and then the architectural shape is determined on this basis. It depends on the orientation of the house, whether it is open or hidden. The geomantic omen seen in this way is basically perfect one after another, and there is really no need to transform geomantic omen.
So the ancients really didn't have any tricks to change Feng Shui into Feng Shui. They just changed it according to natural conditions. The most thorough thing is to change the route, then change the way in the house, or use the interval. So sometimes moving a sofa has achieved the goal, because this sofa has been waiting for the interval to change lanes. . The second best thing is to use materials, lights, colors, sounds and so on. Changing geomantic omen is just like treating a disease, it can only cure some minor colds. For those buildings whose routes, windows and surrounding spaces have been determined, but whose lines are not good, their safety is not good, and their architectural shapes are not right, how to change the geomantic omen? Therefore, under this premise, it can be said that Feng Shui may not be able to change.
Geomantic omen generally only chooses natural mountain forms to build a capital, open a city and open a village; To a small place is to choose a suitable environment to build a house and walk upright according to the change of time. Therefore, you can regard Feng Shui as environmental science and landscape science. The function of geomantic omen is only to find out the most suitable living environment or working environment for people, and it cannot be regarded as a miracle that can affect human destiny.
To look at Feng Shui, we should first look at it from the perspective of "Dragon Pai", which was unknown before Mr. Wang Tingzhi wrote a book. The geomantic omen of a city should be observed by "the great mysterious sky"; The geomantic omen in the first area of Tea City is based on the main passage in and out of the area; Looking at the queue of a house depends on the adjacent road network. This is the way that Zhongzhou School pays attention to both form and theory, so it is useless to look at Feng Shui only by a house plan. So some friends asked about the quality of the house with the floor plan, which is why I politely declined. However, it is difficult to use the dragon-row formula in cities now, and it is difficult to build tall buildings around the roads. If there is a tall building or a long distance between the measured object and the nozzle, it is more troublesome to measure, and it is necessary to use an extremely accurate plan or some instruments to accurately determine the arrangement of dragons.
On Feng Shui Taoist Drama
The real feng shui is to block things without the help of evil spirits, and what to hang and put is different. As Mr. Wang Tingzhi said, a good feng shui layout will never make people feel that there is a deliberate "feng shui flavor", and everything is so natural. It can be seen that the real feng shui is more expensive than nature, and it is by no means artificial. Now, with the help of the topic of "Feng Shui", someone is selling some strange things that only he has and putting them on the designated so-called "financial position", but the fixed position is not Feng Shui. And a unicorn made of copper. Materially speaking, it uses metal to change Feng Shui. Then why do you have to use Kirin? Any bronze decoration will do. What is even more ridiculous is that even the compass is hung at the door as a tool to block evil spirits. Therefore, blocking evil things is just a lie.
The above is just an overview of the origin, development history and some common sense of Kong Xuan. Most of the content is extracted from Mr. Wang Tingzhi's book "Wind Level Talk". Friends who are interested in this book should not buy it. Although this book is not a textbook for learning metaphysics, it has a detailed exposition of the history, allusions and application principles of Feng Shui, and it is indeed unique. Therefore, the purpose of this article as a general introduction is to let students have a general concept of Feng Shui knowledge. Students can gradually master the mathematics of this course through later study. Benefit the world.
