Why is Zuo Qinglong and You Baihu a treasure trove of geomantic omen?

China pays attention to geomantic omen, that is to say, there should be a bottom in front, water behind, fire behind, wood on the left and gold on the right. Sentosa occupies the whole. The front is sea water, the back is mountain fire, and on the left is another high-rise sea view holiday. In addition, there is a big forest park with wood and low on the right. If there are banks, all financial institutions will be complete.

China folks pay attention to the research and construction of the geographical layout of architectural geomantic omen, that is, "the dragon is not as good as the white tiger holding its head high".

Usually, the left green dragon and the right white tiger represent the left and right positions, which should be aimed at south-facing building structures or natural geographical objects. The left side (east) of Zuo Qinglong refers to the south-facing building structure or natural geographical object, and the right white tiger refers to the south-facing building structure or the right side (west) of natural geographical object, representing the position of the white tiger. It is not ideal to have a white tiger without a dragon, nor is it ideal for a white tiger to be higher than a dragon. In the eyes of the ancients, the east is where the sun rises and the west is where the sun sets. Only high and low can form the natural circulation flow of things. Tigers are terrible things and respectable things. Terrible is that it will eat people and animals, respectable is because it is powerful enough to ward off evil spirits. In some ancient books, such as Ying Shao's Custom Yi Tong. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Sacrifice" said: "Draw a tiger at the door, ghosts dare not enter", "The tiger is a penis, and all animals are long. Can be frustrated and eat ghosts. " The ancients also thought that the white tiger was auspicious, if there was a saying that "virtue is a hundred birds and beasts".

There is a period of karma for the establishment of the Dragon and Tiger Monument in Xiantong Temple. In Wutai Mountain, every temple that has begun to take shape also has a king temple, where four heavenly kings live and exercise the function of guarding the temple. Kexiantong Temple is not only one of the five Zen sites in Wutai Mountain, the first of the top ten green temples, but also the largest temple in Wutai Mountain, but it breaks this example. In the fifth year of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, namely 1407, Tayuan Temple, which belonged to Dahua Rock Temple (now Xiantong Temple), was divided into another independent temple, and Tianwang Temple was included in Tayuan Temple during the division. According to the layout of the temple, Xiantong Temple also needs to build another Heavenly King Hall at the front of the temple for the four heavenly kings to guard the temple. However, due to local restrictions, Kannonji, the southernmost part of the temple, had to be changed into Shanmen Temple. On the one hand, it could be used for people to go in and out, and on the other hand, it could be used to sculpt the four heavenly kings to guard the temple. However, according to legend, as soon as the construction started, the temple caught fire immediately before it was demolished, and guanyin temple never demolished it several times in a row. What shall we do? An old monk finally figured out a way to kill two birds with one stone: change the entrance of the temple to the present place, and keep it outside with dragons and tigers so as not to disturb the four heavenly kings. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Dragon and Tiger were among the eighteen arhats. Luohan, known as "Dragon Descending" and "Khufu", was shaped in some temples, which may be related to their dedication to guarding this Buddhist temple.

There is a white tiger standing at the gate of Xiantong Temple in Wutai Mountain, which is really rare in Buddhist temples in Han Dynasty. Is this another example of the combination of Buddhism and China traditional culture? Does this reflect the profound and subtle concept of Buddhism's "indefinite law"?

But if the left position is Qinglong position and the right position is Baihu position, what is the empty door in the middle?

Generally speaking, the middle position should be higher than the left and right position, right?

Later, I finally found the answer in the profound Buddhism: the middle position should be the dharma position!

In a sense, does the dharma body represent inheritance here? Does it represent all beings? Does it represent all the buddhas of Shifang III? Does it represent the Tathagata wisdom and virtue that all living beings should have? etc ......
