Architectural geomantic omen: on "water"
Water is a very important substance in nature, which plays an important role in regulating the climate and purifying the environment. Humans cannot live without water for a moment. However, improper site selection or improper use can also lead to ruthless floods devouring crops and houses, or polluting and destroying ecosystems. Therefore, how to deal with the water in building site selection is one of the most important issues. In geomantic omen, choosing water is of great significance. According to the theory of geomantic omen, "auspicious land can't be without water", so "when looking for a dragon and choosing a land, we must be cautious, and we must first observe the water potential", and "if we don't look at the mountains, we should look at the water first, and the mountains are without water, so we don't look for land", so water is paid special attention to by geomantic omen experts. They think that water is the blood of mountains. The land where dragons are sought is surrounded by mountains and waters, where the two waters meet and the dragons stop at the water. Because of the ever-changing bend of the water, feng shui experts also compare water to a dragon, called "water dragon" The book "Shui Long Jing" written by Kan Yu focuses on the relationship between water system and land selection, and summarizes hundreds of good and bad water bureaus about Yin houses and Yang houses for reference. In plain areas where there are no mountains to follow, Mr. Feng Shui chooses land with water instead of mountains. "When you go to plain Mo Wen, you can only see that water is a real dragon." The Shuilong Classic specifically discusses the essentials and laws of Shuilong pulse-cutting. "But the water is big and small, far and near, shallow and deep. Just see the water rashly." When judging the situation, examine their temperament, don't be good or bad, so as to make a choice. "Feng Shui experts choose water mainly according to its source and form. "When the water flies away, people will get angry. In deep water, people will become rich, while in shallow water, people will become poor. When people gather, people are thick, and when people are scattered, they are scattered. " It is believed that water should be curved, surrounded by horizontal water, lingering with flowing water, and the gathered water should be clean and melodious. The water, on the other hand, goes straight at an oblique angle, steep and turbulent, and it is unlucky to rebound and fall. In the theory of geomantic omen, besides considering the benefits of irrigation, salt fishing, drinking, disaster relief, boating and setting up risks, we also attach great importance to the understanding of floods. "The world is not weaker than water, and the strong are invincible" (Laozi). The ancients have long recognized the rigidity and softness of water, and people have summed up many reasonable floods such as flooding, scouring and erosion. A typical example is the location of the river bend. It is the place where the river bends into an arch, and its bottom is surrounded by water on three sides. This situation is called "Huang Jincheng encirclement". According to the five elements, golden elephant circle, golden water; Water is also dangerous, surrounded by water, so it is called "Jincheng" and "Shuicheng". Geomantic omen, also known as "water belt crown" and "water belt sleeping bow", is a lucky situation in the shape of geomantic omen and water, which comes from the royal family, such as the old Gongjinshui River, the crown belt berth in front of Wanshou Mountain in the Summer Palace, the half-moon wind pool in front of the house and many houses. This kind of water bureau is considered auspicious because its base is safe, expanding and looking around. According to modern hydrogeology, due to the limitation of topography and geology and the deflection force generated by the earth's rotation, the river has formed a winding state, with many meanders at the bend. Due to the hydraulic inertia, the river constantly impacts the concave bank of the bend, causing it to be eroded and collapse. On the convex bank side, the water flow is slow and the sediment is continuously deposited into the ground, so there is no flood disaster, and the base can be expanded to develop houses. At the same time, the crown ribbon water flow is vivid, giving people a good visual experience. Anti-bow water is considered as "retiring from the countryside to keep poor", which is very unlucky. This kind of understanding and practice has a long history. For example, most of the architectural sites of Yin merchants in Anyang, Henan Province are located on the convex bank of the river, but there are many descendants. The understanding of water in ancient geomantic omen mostly accords with scientific truth, which can be used for reference in today's site selection. For example, you can choose a platform with a convex bank of the river, and it should be higher than the perennial flood level, so as to avoid being built in a swamp with rapid water flow, unstable riverbed and stagnation. In addition, we should pay attention to the quality of water sources. As far as this water source is concerned, there are only three kinds, one is well water, and the selection of well location should consider factors such as water quantity, water quality and pollution prevention. As far as possible, it is located in the upstream of groundwater pollution sources to facilitate water intake. The well site is required to be dry, not easy to accumulate water, and there are no pollution sources such as seepage toilets, cesspits, livestock pens, garbage dumps and industrial wastewater within 20~30 meters around. The second kind is spring water, which is common on slopes and foothills. Spring water with good water quality and abundant water quantity is not only a suitable water source, but also has the function of purifying the air and beautifying the environment. Therefore, if there are mountain springs around the house, it should be considered a lucky house.
The geomantic book also said: "There are mountain springs that melt into the front house, where it tastes sweet, colorful and fragrant, and it will not dry up at four o'clock. Those who are cool in summer and warm in winter are Jiaquan, and the Lord is rich and longevity. " The third is surface water, such as rivers and lakes and rainwater storage. This water pollution is more serious than well water and spring water. Therefore, the drinking water intake point of water should be selected as far as possible in the upstream of the settling river, and the sewage discharge point should be located in the downstream. If drinking water is available, it is best to set sand filter wells on the shore to purify the water quality and improve the cleanliness and hygiene of the water. As far as water quality is concerned, water should be clear, transparent, colorless, tasteless, odorless and sweet when judged by simple observation and tasting. If possible, chemical and biological experiments should be carried out to check the hardness, mineral content and bacterial content of water. It seems that the consideration of water environment is nothing more than paying attention to water potential, water source and water quality.
The water in geomantic omen refers to rivers, channels, ditches, lakes, ponds and the sea, including all flowing water and still water bodies. According to the nature that water flows downwards and stands still in low-lying areas, roads, streets, drains, depressions and elevators in Pingyang and the city are all regarded as water. Water is one of the basic substances on which most living things on earth depend. Without the participation of water, mountains and soil are lifeless. It is impossible for plants and animals to survive, live and multiply in it. It can be said that there is no life without water. The primordial energy in geomantic omen is a comprehensive field of surface geoelectricity, various radiations in the deep part of the earth, in-situ stress and other field energies. The soil itself is not conductive. With the participation of water, various complex chemical changes occur in the soil, and various organic substances are dissolved in the soil water, which is conductive. Geoelectricity is produced by cutting the magnetic lines of the earth's magnetic field when water flows in the soil. Because of the different topography, the direction of subsurface water flow is very complicated, and the direction of geoelectricity and the intensity of current are different in different places. Geoelectricity is an important factor that makes the dragon cave "angry". At the same time, the formation of mountains is also directly related to the long-term cutting of surface water. Without water flowing and cutting, the mountains would not be so colorful. The direction of the current is roughly the same as that of the mountain. Water and dragons (mountains) belong to yin and yang, just like husband and wife. Although husband and wife love each other, they are not always together, but on and off. It is impossible for couples to have children in separate beds; If mountains and water don't meet, there can be no knot, and there can be no good cave. The lively and harmonious caves are the result of dragon water. Feng Shui, especially love the water, thinks that Feng Shui always takes "water first" as the standard.
There are many kinds of water in Feng Shui. According to the location, there are dragon water, shrimp beard water, closed water, Sanyang water, Linshui, Linshui, Tianxin water, extremely dizzy water (not real water), real water and Shandong water storage.
According to the types, there are Tianchi water, river water, lake water, flat field water, pond water, board warehouse water, dry running water, splash spring, spring, collection spring and waterfall spring. According to the different water quality, auspicious water includes: Liquan water, cold spring water, warm water (warm in winter and cool in summer) and hot spring water (hot in all seasons). And fierce water includes rust water, muddy water (sunny and dry), cold slurry spring, splashing spring, dirty water and so on.
According to the shape, there are Jiuqu water, Yujie water, Jincheng water, Hengbao water and breast scalding water (that is, water wrapped around Xuanwu). Violent water includes threatening water, shower head water, anti-bow water, reverse water, head-binding water (foot-cutting water), heart flushing, anti-submarine, oblique skimming water, cheek water leakage, trough water leakage and punishment water killing.

There are many names of water in geomantic omen, and there are countless names because of the language differences in different places.
How to tell the quality of water? In fact, there is no need to care too much about the names of all kinds of water. It is not difficult to distinguish the quality of water from the yin nature of water and the ruthlessness of love. First, the water that shows the true nature of Yin is auspicious, and the water that goes against the true nature of Yin is fierce. Secondly, the water that is affectionate with the dragon cave is auspicious water, while the water that is heartless with the dragon cave is fierce water or useless water. Water is feminine, and its principle is smooth, quiet, slow, bending, bending and stopping storage. Holding acupoints, opposing acupoints and returning to Long Gu acupoints are all sentient beings. Rushing, roaring, jumping, bowing and shooting holes are like the anger of a lion in Hedong, heartless, yin does not follow yang, and wife does not follow husband. This water belongs to fierce water.
In the water in front of Tang Ming Cave, the most important thing is to follow the dragon water. Broken dragon water is the water that accompanied the dragon from its ancestral mountain. The size of dragon water and the length of water flow are the main signs to distinguish the strength of dragon. The longer the dragon water is, the bigger it is, indicating that the dragon is long and male; Because the dragon water is short and small, it shows that the dragon is also short and weak. Dragons must be stripped naked to live. A dragon that is too short to be skinned alive is a dead dragon or a frozen dragon. Therefore, "Tianyu Jing" said: "The righteous god takes a hundred steps to become a dragon, and the water is short and fierce." "The water of Sanyang is exhausted, and wealth will never stop." The water resources of the inner, middle and outer Mingtang have a long history, which not only shows that the dragon comes from far away, but also shows that the farewell mountain is escorted by the ancestral mountain of the dragon, which is an important symbol of your dragon.
The place where the water comes is called Tianmen, and the place where the water goes (i.e. Shuikou) is called Dihu. Whether the front door of the cave is open or not, and whether the landlord is closed, is one of the important bases to distinguish between true and false caves. The so-called Tianmen is open, that is, the water goes into the hall, and the so-called landlord is closed, that is, the water outlet is closed tightly. If the water doesn't flow into the hall, it can't be used by me. If the water outlet is not closed, it means that Yin and Yang have not crossed or Long Xing has not stopped. Although there is no water outside the cave, as long as it reaches the Tang Dynasty, it is called a hidden arch, which is unique on the earth.
Tianchi water: Not only the natural pool water on the top of the mountain is called Tianchi water, but Pingyanglong itself also has a lake, which is also Tianchi. Not on the dragon or artificially dug is not Tianchi, but a pond. Tianchi Lake is deep and congealed, just dry all year round. Dig a hole to drink water and it will be full, and it will dry up in autumn and winter. This is caused by the decline of Qi and scattered pulse of the mountain dragon, so it is not available.
Imperial Street Water: The first nine bends of the Tang and Ming Dynasties brought water to the DPRK, which was the most auspicious and expensive. Small water potential can only save the poor.
The water in front of the hall likes to gather together best, as the saying goes: water is not as good as water. Before a deep-water hole is injected into a pool, it is passive, and there are even expensive cases.
Jincheng water: the water in front of the cave is like a belt, which is the water with it, and the main thing is expensive.
Bancang water: The water in Tianyuan is rich before paving the cave, and it does not need to be washed or cut.
The water in front of the cave flows into the grottoes or caves, dripping with sound, which is called water and the main transport.
Waterfall surface water: the cave is low and the water potential is magnificent. If Leshan is high, Leshan is low, and the owners are not prosperous.
Water rushes to the heart: the rapids rush to the heart of the cave, which is also called water breaking the heart, which is unlucky.
Shooting water: straight water rushes to the left and right sides of the cave, calling for direct and crossing, which is extremely fierce.
Anti-submarine: before the water reaches the hole, it turns back and flows out of the hole, which is extremely fierce.
Anti-bow water: the water is bow-shaped before the point, and the back of the bow is facing the point, which is extremely fierce.
Eight-character water: the water in the eight characters flows out in front of the acupoint, which is the main yin.
Out of the water on the head: there is no pulse on the point, and the water drenches the top of the point, which is not popular.
Buccal water leakage: the hole is deep and the water is as straight as a ditch, whether there is open water or not, it is fierce.
Punishment to kill water: countless chaotic water confrontations in front of the cave, flying straight and oblique, are extremely fierce. Pingyang water network area is full of water, calm and slow, so killing water is not a punishment, but auspicious water.
Head binding water: also called foot cutting water, the water in front of the hole is very close, and the water cuts the foot of the hole. The poor, the sick and the lonely are the weak.
Oblique skimming: the water does not reach the hall, and it flows obliquely, although it is unlucky.
Metaphysically, water is Xiushui and evil water, and Xiushui has five phases:
1, Qingshui (still water)-the main way to make money, and the fortune is smooth.
2, the smell is fresh (some springs are sweet)-for the first episode, the main gathering of wealth.
3, the water is very calm or the voice is very thin and rhythmic (singing water)-the Lord can make money comfortably, and the money comes from the right.
4, if there is love (love the water)-running water or round or semicircle winding in front, the main fortune.
5, water to transport (zero water)-the main wealth will be improved immediately.
