I also want to know》》 How to choose a site according to architectural Feng Shui
The Jinci Temple made the Tang Dynasty prosperous, and it must be supported by the dragon veins of the emperor. After investigation, it was found that the back mountain behind it was suspended. Wengshan has strong dragon veins and a large volume. It is protected by sand guards on both sides, and many streams flow into the Mingtang.
It’s funny to say that Chinese emperors have always had the tradition of enjoying the energy of dragon veins exclusively and not allowing others to share it. Therefore, the emperor respected the dragon veins, but also feared the energy of the dragon veins. He was afraid that the energy of other dragon veins would give birth to other emperors and generals, and compete with them for power. After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he was always worried that the country he had worked so hard to conquer would be taken away by others. When he heard the alchemist say that those who rule the world are all buried in the dragon veins because of their ancestral tombs. Therefore, in order to make his rule last for thousands of generations, Qin Shihuang tried every means to dig out dragon veins all over the country to prevent anyone from proclaiming himself king and emperor again.
Song Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty after the Tang Dynasty was afraid of the feng shui of Jinci Temple. He was afraid that among the people living there, due to the relationship between pulse and energy, a person would appear who could compete with him and endanger his country. He once ordered Jinci Temple to be feng shui. The nearby people moved to nearby Yangqu County. While doing this, he also followed Li Yuan's example and erected a monument of "Taiping Xingguo" there, and started a large-scale construction again, with the purpose of continuing his great Song Dynasty.
A good Feng Shui environment must have a steady flow of water. Tracing back to its origin, Jinci Temple is the source of Jinshui. The flowing stream makes Jinci more poetic and elegant, and the crystal clear spring water meanders through the temples. Water is a living symbol of Jinci Temple, and I was deeply impressed by the abundance of springs and streams.
"Jin Temple is a good example of using springs and canals to create a landscape. The Jellyfish Tower was built on the 'Nanlao Spring' at the source of Jinshui River, and is attached with the beautiful legend of 'Liu Sitting on an Urn'. The spring water flows from it There is a spring pavilion in front of the building, and a herringbone weir is used to divide the water from north to south. In the middle, there are Shuijing Terrace, Huixian Bridge, Jinren Terrace, Duiyue Square, Xian Palace and Yu. Zhu Feiliang and the Notre Dame Hall are arranged on the main axis, and are terminated by Wangchuan Pavilion on Huanxi Ridge in the south, Taidi Temple, Gongshuzi Temple, Sansheng Temple, and Tongle Pavilion in the north, and Miaoyi Hall, Chaoyang Cave, and Tang Shuyu Temple in the north. , Guandi Temple, Dongyue Temple, and Wenchang Palace are arranged around it.
These building complexes are either located on the mountain or near the water, forming small courtyards of their own, with pavilions, bridges, pavilions, waterside pavilions and terraces interspersed among them. The buildings meander and jingle, intertwined with the buildings, forming groups of beautiful scenery along the canals, adding a bit of aura and dynamics to the solemn temple. ”
