Interpretation of Urban Feng Shui: How about Long Mai and Feng Shui?
Geomantic orientation of Kunming ancient city
"Shenxiang County in the east, supernatural in the west, winding in the north and Su Mu in the south" (Sun Ranweng Daguanlou Changlian), here are four mountains around Kunming: "East Shenxiang County" is the Jinma Mountain in the east; "Xiling Instrument" is the Luohan Mountain in the west (now Xishan); "winding north" is the Changchong mountain in the north; "Nanxiang Wusu" is the Liangwang Mountain in the south; These four mountains surround Kunming into a "mountain ring" in Feng Shui, while "Five hundred Li Dianchi Lake flows to the fundus" is a "water hug".
From the Map of Kunming Ancient City, we can easily see that the planning and site selection of Kunming ancient city completely conforms to the principles of "where there are mountains and water, there must be gas" and "where there is wind and gas, it must be a treasure trove of geomantic omen".
The ancient city of Kunming faces south, with Xuanwu Changchong Mountain as its back, Suzaku Wangliang Mountain as its front, Qinglong Jinma Mountain as its left and Baihu Luohan Mountain as its right, with the rippling Dianchi Lake water in the middle. According to geomantic terminology, it is called "the mountains are surrounded by water, and the wind gathers gas". This feng shui, chinese odyssey. So Kunming is the top grade in world-class cities!
Under the guidance of Wang Zhanhai, Mu Ying built the old Kunming into the shape of a turtle. The south gate is the turtle's head, the north gate is the turtle's tail, and the big east gate, small east gate, big west gate and small west gate are the turtle's four feet. In this way, at the foot of the winding Changchong Mountain in the north, the old Kunming city is connected with its blood, forming a state of intersection of turtles and snakes, which makes Kunming have a momentum made in heaven, with mountains and waters far away and everything integrated. Wang Zhanhai stood on Wuhua Mountain, looking at the well-organized Kunming City, smiling. He proudly said: "The dragon spirit in Kunming is getting stronger and stronger, and Feng Shui will definitely benefit the people of Yunnan. I believe that after 500 years, Yunnan will definitely win Jiangnan. "
Hundreds of years of historical vicissitudes have passed, and Kunming has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is famous for its reputation as a "spring city". Kunming, with its beautiful scenery, may have been touched by the intersection of "Mountain Dragon" and tortoise and snake. However, more importantly, it depends on the diligence and wisdom of several generations of Kunming people. ...
Wang Zhanhai, a famous scholar of Ming Dynasty in China, was later called the master planner and geography teacher of Kunming urban construction. The general pattern of modern Kunming city was decided when Kunming city was built in Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty (1382). Mu Ying, then the highest military officer in Yunnan, invited Wang Zhanhai, a famous Yin and Yang family and Jiangxi native, to visit the mountains and rivers in Yunnan, presided over the planning of Kunming city construction, and planned to build Kunming into a city where turtles and snakes intersect and produce the spirit of emperors.
