Can you give me some information about the ancient city of Dinghai?
2 Brief introduction of ancient city ruins:
Historical blocks in Ming and Qing Dynasties: West Street and Middle Street in Dinghai were commercial streets in the late Qing Dynasty, with a width of 4 or 5 meters, which were really commercial streets at that time. There are two floors of bank up wall with wooden structure, and the eaves gallery on the second floor is the best place to overlook the bustling scenery of the market.
Zuyin Temple: Located in Changguo Road, Dinghai, it is known as "the first ancient Buddhist forest in Wengzhou", covering an area of nearly 1, square meters. It was built in Tianfu in the late Jin Dynasty for five years, and after several renovations, it became the largest Buddhist temple on Zhoushan Island.
Deep House Courtyard in the late Qing Dynasty: There are many strange-looking former houses such as Lanli's former residence, Dong Haoyun's former residence and Liu Hongsheng's former residence in the areas of Liufang Lane, Shuyuan Lane, Chaishui Lane, Dongguanmiao Lane, West Street and Changguo Road. The arches, gates, halls, doors, windows and caissons here are all unique.
3 geomantic omen. On the whole, Dinghai Old Town conforms to the basic conditions of "back mountain, face water and facing the sun". The location of the old city of Dinghai continued from the Tang Dynasty, with only a small change, generally within the scope of today's Huancheng North Road, Huancheng East Road, Huancheng West Road and Jiefang Road. Dinghai has been abandoned several times in history, and there is a chance to relocate it. However, it is always reasonable to rebuild it on the original site.
traditional feng shui pays attention to qi, and the preface to feng shui selection says, "feng shui is mainly based on qi". According to historical records, the original site of Dinghai City in the Tang Dynasty was selected in the fork river, which was moved to the foot of Zhen 'ao Mountain because of its light soil. In this regard, the theoretical basis is the Jin Dynasty's "Guo Pu Guben Buried Classics": "The natives are the mother of qi, and the natives have qi. Gas is the mother of water, where there is gas, there is water. "I guess it is more about the stability of the foundation."
geomantic omen regards the earth as an organism, and holds that all parts of the earth are connected through meridians and acupoints similar to the human body, and "Qi" runs along meridians and gathers at acupoints. The life in the earth flows along the direction of the mountains, and changes with the height of the terrain in the process of flowing. The so-called "auspicious land" is the place where life is exposed on the surface and hidden. Therefore, Kyrgyzstan should be surrounded by mountains to avoid being blown away by the wind, which is the so-called "land where the wind hides". This is not an abstract concept, but a specific geographical environment. Specifically, first, the mountain backed by it has a route, that is, Long Mai. Its terrain should be backed by horseshoe-shaped hills, and the feng shui acupoints are located at the foot of the middle main peak: the surrounding mountains are important "four gods sands", namely Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu, which are located in four directions: east, west, north and south. The second is water, which must be dry by itself. But not far from it, there should be tortuous water flowing. The third is orientation, generally speaking, facing south is better.
Therefore, the first step in geomantic omen is to find dragons and recognize acupoints, that is, to examine the situation of dragons from a macro perspective. "What is the dragon?" The pulse of the mountain is also ","the line of the pulse of the earth stops rising and falling, and the day is long ",that is, the coming of the mountains. Looking for the dragon by looking at the potential, what is important is that the pulse is long and the vitality is coherent. The so-called "the potential is far and deep, and the gas is also prone", which means that the mountains that come from the wind are full of vitality. In fact, from the aesthetic point of view alone, this kind of attention is also reasonable, and there are actually many intuitive elements in Feng Shui. The back mountain of Dinghai Old Town is Zhen 'ao Mountain (a lock mountain), which is extended from the main peak of Shuangji Mountain, the main mountain governed by the county, and its context is quite clear.
the second step is to determine the "Four Gods Sand". The four gods sand in Dinghai old town is quite obvious: the north is close to Zhen' ao Mountain; The mountain in the west is called White Tiger Mountain, which meanders to Zhushan in Haikou. In the east, there is Qinglei Head stretching from Changgang Mountain to Haikou, embracing each other at a distance; The Guanshan Mountain and Wukui Mountain, both inside and outside the south pier, are the case mountains and facing mountains in Dinghai.
At the same time, the northwest of the old city encircles the block of Zhen 'ao Mountain into the city, and the whole town presents a situation of high in the northwest and low in the southeast. According to the geomantic theory, the northwest is the top of the gossip. Also known as Tianmen orientation. Therefore, most cities in China have chosen this trend from the ancient city of Beijing to the village of Zhuge Bagua. From the perspective of modern science. It is because the topography of China is high in the northwest and low in the southeast as a whole, and the towns are arranged according to this, so the water flow is smoother.
