I have an ancient book in classical Chinese. Please help me translate it.

(1) Always think that the wonders of geography are reserved by heaven and earth for those who are virtuous, and they are also kept secret by the former teachers.

I (Liu Ruogu) often think carefully that geography and feng shui are very mysterious. Who belongs to the blessed land is destined by heaven and earth. If the ancestors have Yin merits and are loyal and virtuous, they will naturally encounter Feng Shui treasures, and the Master will take the initiative to give them to them. These principles are just not stated clearly.

(2) Those who lose their skills will be poor at every step; those who gain their skills will be on the right path everywhere.

People who have no knowledge of Feng Shui and search for Feng Shui randomly will mostly make mistakes. But those who have knowledge of Feng Shui will find the secrets and find the treasures of Feng Shui.

(3) First understand the method of finding a dragon, then understand the relationship between knots, study the acupoints in detail, and carefully understand the meaning of sand and water.

When looking for a Feng Shui place, you must first understand the rules of finding dragon veins, secondly understand how to form a knot, thirdly study the acupuncture method in detail, and fourthly carefully look at the sand peaks and The shape and meaning of flowing water.

(4) Yan Jian ① Peeling and changing ② are opportunities for change; ups and downs are the accuracy of travel.

Generally speaking, the mountains where the dragon veins originated from the ancestors are usually rocky and rocky, and are very steep. When he is walking as a dragon, he lies low and does not move forward. He changes delicately and worships his young ancestor again. The young ancestor is still rough and evil, and he has to lie low and not move forward, becoming tender and turning into the mountain of his parents. The mountain of parents must stay and lower, becoming more and more tender before reaching the fetal breath point star. The movement of dragon veins must have ups and downs and twists and turns to be lively and in line with the principles of dragon vein movement.

(5) People born in a noble family should stretch their shoulders and open their faces. If their veins fall, they are afraid that their bones will appear and their tendons will be exposed.

After birth changes, the star body is like a healthy person, with open shoulders and arms, a tolerant smile. The most taboo thing about falling pulse is thinness and thinness, like a patient, skinny as a stick with exposed muscles.

Li Jian: The deep structures of the outgoing veins on the shoulder opening are all rock formations that enter the mountain. They are generally plump, solid, and gentle. The soil has not been lost. The strata are well developed and easy to form. The veins where the bones are exposed and the tendons are exposed, the deep structures are all rock formations, which are generally steep and easily weathered; due to the loss of soil, rugged stones are exposed and cannot be formed.

(6) Only when it is clear and rigid can it become a great weapon; when it is crooked and straight, it is all an empty picture.

The dragon veins must be strong, solemn, and solemn in order to become a great knot. If the head and feet are tilted, the posture is not correct, and the head is straight and stubborn, there will be no knot.

(7) The fetal breath is in Kumazo, rising among the stars.

When the dragon is about to close its acupuncture points, it looks like a woman's pregnancy, clearly bulging. But it must be wrapped around Suna's hands left and right, up and down, hiding it. But in the end, the acupoint star must be protruding and tall, and should not be short or sunken.

(8) Yin and yang, movement and stillness, are both noble and useful; virtual reality, hardness and softness, seek to complement each other everywhere.

All movements must be balanced and balanced, and one side must not be unbalanced. As for concave or convex, one soft and one hard must complement each other.

(9) A son who doesn’t know how to look at his father, a slave who doesn’t know his subjectivity.

Sometimes the branches of the dragon vein are spread out, numerous and complicated, and it is difficult to identify where the main knot is. This depends on where its main star is. Wherever there is the protection and support of the main star, there is the right knot. If the main star is not clear, you have to look at the surrounding sand and water. If the four mountains are shining, all the water will return to the hall, and the place that serves me is the place where the great knot is made.

(10) If you shout in front and support behind you, you will be regarded as the son of a noble person; if you turn your back and turn sideways, you will be just the servant of others.

Generally, the mountains that are hugging each other in front and behind are dragons, and the mountains that are turning back and sideways are sand. If the stars are swarming in layers, and the peaks and mountains are stacked towards the place where they come, there will be big knots, so it is said to be the son of a nobleman. If it looks like a human being lying on its side and hugging other mountains, it is the sand of other mountains, so it is said to be the servant of others.

(11) Those who send you around have the tendency to be enthusiastic and enthusiastic; those who protect the environment have the feeling of surrendering to the court.

When the dragon is walking, the mountains escorting it on both sides are galloping vigorously. There is no time to stop. As far as the main dragon goes, the guarding dragon also goes. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, he bowed down and saluted like a great man treating the emperor, with sincerity and sincerity.

(12) Pursue step by step, and you can only stop when you have found one; look closely at the branches to see if they change into something right.

When looking for a dragon, you should search for it section by section on the mountain range. When you find the place where the dragon stops, you can create a hole star and throw it towards the hall before stopping. At the same time, each branch of the dragon vein must be carefully observed. As long as one of the branches of the dragon vein with different changes is found, it is a place worthy of acupuncture.

(13) If you come from the back in a loose manner, it will be a great thing to become a star; if you are involved all the way, it will be a surprise to fall into pieces.

When looking for dragons, some dragons rarely have ups and downs in their veins, and their steps are not compact enough, but they suddenly wake up and turn into star stars, with upright and round bodies, or graceful and generous, or handsome. Elegance is very valuable. Some dragon veins are compact and continuous, but at a certain point, the dragon veins break. Pay attention to the wonderful changes in these breaks, because holes will form soon.

(14) The body is strong, and the carpet is expensive under the feet; the body is delicate, but the back is not too rough.

If the upper part of the star is tall and steep, the lower part should be flat and smooth, like a blanket. If the upper part of the star is small and delicate, like a seedling or a flower, the back part of it should be flat and soft. The good thing is the powerful and tall dragon veins.

Li Jian: In general, steep stars are mostly caused by soil erosion, and you can reach rock formations without digging deep. If the lower part is comfortable and gentle, with carpets and mattresses spread out, it means that the strata are well developed and the layers underneath are clear, condensing geothermal airflow, and it is suitable for burial. Most of the acupuncture points that are delicate in nature appear delicate and weak. If the veins at the back are strong and strong, they will complement each other.

(15) When the knot is about to be completed, the body must turn first; if the real dragon lives, it is bound to move forward.

Generally, the body of a dragon vein that is about to be knotted will naturally rotate, and the whole trend is directed toward the hall; a dragon vein that is usually stopped to be knotted, its limbs and feet will always tend to the front, turning into dragon and tiger sand. Case, wrap yourself around.

(16) Carefully understand to observe its true feelings; open your eyes to observe its situation.

In short, the method of looking for dragons and tapping acupuncture points must be carefully experienced and understood in order to realize its true temperament. You must keep your eyes open to see its shape and momentum.

(17) The bottom of the mountain is like the bottom of a furnace, and the knots are intact; if there is mercury around the waist, the dragon must not be far away.

When looking for dragon points, as long as you see the hall at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by solid sand peaks, and nests in the middle, like the bottom of a stove, there will definitely be knots. If you can't see the bottom of the furnace, as long as you can see the bubble-like stars on the waist of the dragon vein, the dragon vein will definitely not have to go too far to form a knot.

(18) The front mountain is chaotic, and you need to know that it changes shape every step of the way; bow down before you, like a king ascending the throne.

When looking for dragon points, sometimes I arrive at the place where the dragon veins stop, but I see that the sand and water peaks in front of me are messy and inconsistent, so I have to move the position and change the angle. Sometimes when the angle changes, the entire landscape of the hall becomes orderly. The peaks facing the court are like ministers kneeling down and saluting in front of them.

(19) It may tend to go against the grain due to the situation; sometimes it may deviate to avoid evil.

When looking for dragon points, sometimes in order to support Zhou Zheng's strategy, one has to follow the horizontal or reverse direction; sometimes there is evil on one side of the star head, and in order to avoid evil, the acupoints have to be selected according to the acupoints. The star is tilted to one side.

Li Bian: When looking for dragons and tapping acupuncture points, it is more common to use the positive dragon position in the forward direction. However, some dragon veins often turn against the trend and return to the dragon and Guzu. In this case, the horizontal position must be used. Or go against the grain. Some acupoint stars have hanging stone evil spirits on the top, or upward tile evil spirits; or concave evil spirits on one side, white evil spirits on one side, etc. In order to avoid these evil spirits, the acupoints must be located on the other side, regardless of the deflection of the acupoint stars.

(20) There is no turning back from the general situation. Although it is clever and charming, it is still fake; when you look around, the strange shapes become more real.

In any situation where the wind and water are blowing and the sand peaks are scattered, even clever, beautiful, upright and solemn acupoint stars cannot form a union, because they are false stars. If the stars and peaks on all sides are guarding and greeting us, and the sand and water look back with nostalgia, even if the stars in the cave are strangely shaped and not dignified and beautiful, they will still be together, because this is the real situation. (21) If you see a prisoner trapped on all sides, you may be able to break it open. But if the whole plate is perfect, you must know that once it is broken, the rest will be useless.

When searching for dragon acupuncture points, sometimes you are faced with a situation surrounded by high sand peaks, and the acupoint stars are like being imprisoned in a cell. If there is an open door, you will not feel blocked, and you can still form a knot.

Sometimes we encounter a pretty perfect situation, with sand and sand, water and water, dragons and dragons, and caves and caves, but there is also a fatal injury (such as a brain-breaking evil, etc.) and we cannot form a knot. , no matter how beautiful it is, it is of no use.

(22) If the boundary water penetrates the shoulders, there is no need to pay attention; if the head is leaning and the feet are running, there is no need to pay attention.

When looking for dragon points, if you encounter a star with its chest outstretched and basking in the sun, its shoulders are pierced and the boundary water rushes in, it will not work. We don’t need to look at it. If the top of the head is tilted and the stars scurrying about under the feet are useless even if they form holes, we don’t have to think about it.

Li Bian: My neighbor was buried in an ancestral grave with water piercing the shoulders. Only one of the three brothers was married, but he was over sixty and had no children. I also saw a grave buried in a village with a sloping roof. The ancestral tombs with their feet wandering around have been filled with lewd and lustful people throughout the ages, often causing disasters such as peach blossoms.

(23) The two boundaries are deep and leaky. Although the dragon and the tiger are not properly connected; the water merges into a sharp mouth, but the nipples are empty even if they are good.

There are vast abyss and cliffs on both sides of the cave, leading straight to the bottom. Although it is surrounded by neat dragon sand and tiger sand, there is no real formation. In some places, the incoming dragon has stopped, and the two waters merge together, just like two waters washing a pen, and flow straight away. Even if there are acupoints as round and beautiful as nipples, they are of no use.

Li Bian: The mountains follow the water, and the water flows with the mountains. Generally, the lapels are folded into a sharp mouth. Where the water is tilted and poured down, there are no mountains facing the mountain or the mountain, so it cannot form a hall and cannot form a knot. .

(24) If the first ⑤ is blurry, even if there are stars, they are useless;

If the back of the head does not become thinner and becomes a bundle of pharynx, but becomes bloated and swollen, it is said that the head is blurred. Even if there is a hole star in a place like this, it is useless. If the main star behind the acupuncture field twists its shoulders and face, is distracted, and does not care about the acupuncture field, even if there is some energy, it is still empty.

(25) The boundary veins like to be flat, and the shoulders and back must be round and thick.

The rivers and streams that separate the mountain ranges are most preferred to be flat and gentle, and avoid sloping and rapid; the shoulders and back of the stars forming the acupuncture point should be round, thick, plump and fleshy.

Li Yin: If a flat river is used as the boundary of the mountains, it must be surrounded by sand and water, where the dragon turns around the peak; if there is a round and thick star on its shoulders, it must be rich in vegetation and soil. An auspicious place with well-developed layers.

If the water in the boundary vein pours down slopingly and the shoulders and backs of the stars are thin, it must be a stubborn place where soil has been lost, the rock layers are weathered and brittle, and the shape is rough.

(26) The crossing channel is the source of the dragon’s life, so it should be protected around it; the pharynx is the foundation for entering the acupoint, and it must be connected tightly.

When the dragon's veins undergo peeling and transformation, they usually become smaller and lower, commonly known as the wasp's waist. This is the most important part of the dragon's body, so it is represented by life. The worst thing to avoid here is the wind blowing from the sky, or the water coming from both sides. Therefore, it must be closely guarded by the sand with eight-shaped cicada wings to avoid being hit by evil spirits. The most recent part of the acupoint star that grasps the neck changes, which is called the pharynx. The pharynx is the cartilage of the human larynx and is also said to be very important. Therefore, the connection must be tight and tight, and looseness and weakness are most avoided.

Li Jian: The meridians are carefully guarded, and the dragon body and stars are tightly connected through the throat, and most of them are integrated into the city. If the pulse is cold and affected by evil spirits, the long neck of the pharynx will be loose and it will be difficult to tie the knot. Longitudinal knots are also light, and more is not enough.

(27) Don’t say that a good person has a good reputation, you must carefully examine his true feelings; don’t say anything without a trace, but be sure to carefully look at the details.

When looking for dragons and visiting caves, sometimes they come across a place where the body is in the shape of a star. You cannot easily think that this is a conclusion. You must carefully examine whether the dragon veins are fused here. Sometimes because the landscape is complex and the branches are too romantic and spread out, the point where the acupoint is formed seems to be without a trace. In this case, one must carefully look at where the main veins are in order to be sure.

Li Jian: Some people dig acupuncture points and go to the top of a mountain. When they encounter a place that looks like a star, they make random burials. Little do they know that the dragon has not stopped and is rushing in all directions. How can it be integrated? Knot! Some people do not distinguish between primary and secondary dragon veins in places where there are mountains. They open holes randomly wherever there are concavities and convexities. Little do they know that these are the limbs and feet of the dragon veins. It is really a pity that they cannot make holes!

(28) On the acupoint, you can see the round halo of gold ⑦⑧, below the acupoint, you can see the raised lips, next to the acupoint, you can see the corners of the cheeks swaying, and at the foot of the acupoint, you can see the faint water.

Looking up at the acupuncture point, your own star surface should look like the halo that sometimes appears around the sun and moon, or the warmth of a reddish-brown circle on a woman’s nipple; below the acupuncture point, it should look like a tray. The flat and beautiful pocket should have a slightly rolled-up lip robe at the edge of the pocket; on both sides of the acupoint, there should be broad cheeks, as upright and generous as the face of a fat-headed and big-eared person; at the feet of the tomb There must be a slight boundary so that the rainwater collected in the entire cave star area can be gathered and flowed out under the feet.

Li Jian: If a good hole meets the requirements of the above four aspects, it must be the center of the landscape aura. When dug under the soil layer, the Tai Chi halo will often be picturesque. This is a treasure of Feng Shui. If one of the four aspects is missing, even if the acupuncture point is formed, it will be weak.

(29) The back is based on the restraint of the throat, the front is based on the bottom of the furnace, the inside is based on the round lip support, and the outside is based on the ten paths of Tianxin.

To analyze whether the acupuncture point is real, it depends on whether the back part grabs the neck and forms a pharyngeal bundle; whether the front part becomes the bottom of the furnace and creates a smooth and beautiful gathering place. The acupuncture points should be based on the shape of your own head and lips, and the principle of the posture should be that the heart of heaven is upright and not tilted to one side.

(30) It is difficult to cut from the front and must be turned to the corner; the head cannot be turned down to find it.

Generally, when selecting a hole, the front side of the star is usually used. However, sometimes the soil layer under the hole star is not good, or the situation is not good, so it is necessary to cut the corner of the star to use the soil layer and The beauty of the situation is the principle. Sometimes I originally wanted to find a cut at the high point of the cave star, but because the strata at the high place are not well developed and the atmosphere cannot be gathered, I have to look for the lower part of the cave star.

(31) A hundred deaths seek one life, and those who are alike seek to be unique.

When looking for a dragon's acupoint, in a mediocre and lifeless landscape, you only need to find a place with vivid changes to make a cave. Among many similar landforms, there is a unique and strange place, where there is a cave complex.

(32) Hunxunxue ⑨, the spirit is hidden in the appearance; faint rumbling ⑩, the energy gathers in the skin.

If the dragon veins are not vivid enough and the acupoint stars are not eye-catching enough, then you must find out what the pattern is and where the charm is hidden. If the walking dragon is tall and strong and the acupoint star is thick, it is necessary to realize that his dragon energy and geothermal energy are knotted in the deep layers, so as to accurately select the acupoints.

(33) The thick side and the thin side are the inspiration; the narrowing side and the long side are the wonderful truth.

If the hole star is thick on one side and thin on the other, the thin side is where the water comes in, and the thick side is where the water goes out. The welcome and give-and-take of the landscape will make it more flexible and vivid; if one side is shortened, The elongated sand guard on one side makes the far front of the short side taller and the peaks of the rectangular side smaller, making the shape more balanced and symmetrical.

(34) Regardless of whether you are clamping the mastoid process or clamping the mastoid process, the combination will definitely have a useful spirit. No matter how high you are, you will reach the acupoint without leaving the Qi.

Regardless of whether the acupuncture point is in the shape of a nest in the recess of a star, or a pincer-like shape that bifurcates from the center, or even a convex shape like a nipple, its formation is the center of the aura. Whether it is a cave in a flat place or a cave in a high place, Dragon Qi and Tang Qi will gather and condense in the acupoint.

(35) In short, the body needs spirit, the dragon needs to change, the sand needs to be embraced, and the water needs to face.

In short, in the place of marriage, the stars will appear, the dragons will change and peel off, the sand tables will be blocked and surrounded, and the flowing water will bend and return to the court.

(36) Those who are greedy for more must know the small; those who control the distance must first know what is close.

Those who are looking for dragon points and covet the colorful and rich shapes must understand the subtle effects of the sand peak water method in the shape; those who like the sparse and broad shapes must understand the trends of the sand peak water method. Nearby.

Li Jian: To recognize the subtleties is to recognize the situation, such as lions and elephants holding water mouths, turtles and snakes under their feet, golden boys and jade girls lining up on both sides, dancing phoenixes and flying phoenixes approaching in front of them, etc. . Recognizing its proximity means that the inner hall should be like the bottom of a furnace, the main entrance should be like a bunch of throats, the dragon and tiger should be guarded and solid, and the descending posture should be relaxed and so on.

(37) If the goldfish is not in harmony, it will be in vain to teach Jiuqu to come to court; if the elbows and armpits are incomplete, it will be a waste of effort to show off.

If there is no suitable close-fitting sand protection, even the water method of bending towards the front and looking back nostalgically will be of no use. If the Dragon Body Cave Star has no limbs and legs, it is just a lone dragon. Even if there are many beautiful sand peaks in the distance, it will be of no use.

(38) It would be better to have a dragon or a tiger, than to have nothing to show for it.

When choosing a Feng Shui cave site, I would rather have the dragon sand on the left or the tiger sand on the right somewhat lacking, but the mountain in front of me must not be lacking, and the water must not pour down. If the Tang Bureau does not gather Qi, then this point will not be used.

(39) Observe the emotions between the faces, and distinguish the true from the false when facing away.

To identify whether an acupuncture point is a true knot or a false knot, you must first see whether the acupuncture star is glorious and spiritual, and whether the landscape is nostalgic for retrospection. If the mountains and rivers turn towards me, it is a true knot, and if the mountains and rivers turn towards me, it is a false knot.

(40) The situation is not broad but focused; the sand is not limited but the situation.

The beauty of the Feng Shui pattern is not the vastness, but the beauty of the gathering of bells and spirits. The function of the sand hand is not based on the graphic form, but based on the embrace and affection.

(41) If it were my sand, I would look back at everything in front of me; because of my game, my feet would be flat.

If it is the sand peak used by this acupoint star, it must be looking back at the front to welcome it. If it is the hall used by the star of this point, the foot must be flat and beautiful, not tilted and ugly.

(42) If you fill in the gaps, one can be worth a hundred; if the flow is scattered, all factions will be empty.

If there is a leak in a certain part of the situation, and other sand peaks need to be flattened and filled in, these sand peaks are particularly important and should be treated as one for a hundred. If the situation is watery and there is no gain, then the acupoint is worthless, almost equal to zero.

(43) The right, short, and long should always be balanced, and the height and size must be appropriately cut.

Regardless of whether it is a curved, straight, short or long acupoint star, the money eye must be selected when tapping acupoints. Whether it is high, low, large or small, the dragon veins must be in the appropriate place when cutting.

(44) Aim the acupuncture point at the heart of the sky, and it is difficult to change the size; place the coffin immediately after the incoming Qi, and decide how shallow and deep it is.

When tapping acupoints, it is required to be even in the ten channels of Tianxin, and not to be biased in one foot or one inch. When placing the coffin, it is necessary to connect the geothermal airflow and study the principle of whether it should be deep or shallow.

Li Jian: If the Qi through the acupoint comes in at an angle, the coffin should be placed at an angle; if the Qi is in the right direction, the coffin should be placed in an upright position... The twelve inverted positions in the ancient book are very clear. The coffin is usually placed in a layer of siltstone with no nutrients, which is easy to catch the geothermal airflow. It should be buried shallowly in the plains and deep in the mountains. Because deep burials in the flat ocean are easy to reach springs, and shallow burials in high mountains are easy to be invaded by wind.

(45) It is better to seek the wrong from the right than to create something out of nothing.

Searching for dragon acupoints is a very serious matter, that is, after finding the true acupoints that can be modified, you also have to study the defects. Don't use a place that has no relationship as a Feng Shui treasure and make decisions.

Li Jian: Some Feng Shui masters clearly know that there is no knot in a certain place, but in order to make money from people, they have no choice but to tap acupuncture points to "bring blessings" to people out of thin air. It is really deplorable!

(46) Readers must have a clear mind and understanding; those who seek the land must have a skillful eye and a heart.

When reading Feng Shui works, you must work hard to correctly understand the meaning of the book; when looking for dragons and acupuncture points, you must have a sharp vision and flexible and careful thinking. Li Bian: If you can read more Feng Shui works, humbly seek advice from teachers, and practice seriously, you will naturally understand it with your heart and mind, and your eyes will be clever.

(47) If you read this article carefully, you will be confident; if you steal one of the tips, it will have endless wonderful uses.

As long as you can read and understand this "Qianjin Fu" carefully, you will know whether there are any works in the mountains and rivers. As long as you master some of these tips, it will last you a lifetime.

(48) The wonderful meanings of Luantou are all summarized here; the transformation of gods lies in scholars.

The mysterious principles of Xunlong Diancun are all included here. As for how to use it flexibly, it only depends on the talent and diligence of the scholar himself.
