Ups and downs
Open Category: Feng Shui
Feng Shui terms.
Word meaning: refers to the height difference of the terrain, which is called ups and downs. What Feng Shui experts call "rising" refers to the star peaks rising above the mountain, and "volting" refers to the dragon hidden in the earth. Only when a dragon has ups and downs does it mean that the dragon is living and energetic. If it does not have ups and downs, it is a "dull" - a stubborn dead dragon. "The Burial Sutra" says: "Burial is driven by Qi." "Qi" is more valuable than "life"; living means living. Dragons are alive only when they rise and fall, and only then can the situation of hiding wind and gathering Qi and boundary water stopping Qi can be achieved. .

Three Fu
"Three Fu" is a year the hottest days. "Fu" means that Yin Qi is forced by Yang Qi to hide underground. "Sanfu" is the collective name for the first, middle and last days, which appear every year from mid-July to mid-August in the Gregorian calendar. According to the climate rules of my country's lunar calendar (lunar calendar), predecessors have long stipulated: "The third Geng day after the summer solstice is the first volt (first volt), the fourth Geng day is the middle volt (second volt), and the first Geng day after the beginning of autumn is the first volt. The day is the last day (three days), and each day lasts for ten days and lasts for thirty days. "In some years, the "mid-fu" lasts for twenty days, and the last day lasts forty days.
According to the "Tongshu", "Yin Yang Almanac" and "Wannian Calendar", it can be seen that this year is 2005 AD in the solar calendar, the year of Yiyou (rooster) in the lunar calendar. "Three Volts" are: July 15th, the tenth day of the lunar calendar is the first fu (also called the first fu); July 25th, the twentieth day of the lunar calendar is the middle fu (the second fu); August 14th, the seventh day of the lunar calendar The Gengwu day on the tenth day of the first lunar month is the last day (three days).
In ordinary years, there are ten days in each volt, and three volts last for thirty days. But this year's "year" is the "Zhongfu" (two volts) twenty days. Therefore, the "three volts" period lasts forty days. That is, from the beginning of the tenth day of the lunar month to the last day of the last day (the twentieth day of the seventh lunar month), there are exactly forty days before and after.
The "Dog Days" are determined according to the ancient Chinese "Stem and Branch Day Method". Every year after the summer solstice, the third Geng day (referring to the day with the word "G" in the calendar of stems and branches) is the first day, the fourth Geng day is the middle day, and the first day after the beginning of autumn is the last day. Together they are called It is three volts. As the saying goes, “It’s hot in the dog days of summer.” According to my country’s traditional calendar, today begins the relatively hottest “dog days of summer” in summer. The three volts refer to the three consecutive periods of the first volt, the middle volt and the last volt. The third Geng day after the summer solstice is the beginning of the Chufu (today is the beginning of the Chufu this year), the fourth Geng day is the beginning of the Middle Fu, and the first Geng day after the Beginning of Autumn is the beginning of the last Fu. 10 days, but in some years it lasts 20 days, such as this year. Generally speaking, among the "dog days", the average temperature in the "mid-dog days" is the highest. Of course, this calculation method of the ancients is not very scientific and is not necessarily closely integrated with the actual meteorological conditions of that year. The extreme highest temperatures throughout the year in various places do not necessarily appear in the "mid-volt" or even the "three-volt period". But no matter what, the "dog days" are indeed the period of intense heat in mid-summer, so everyone should pay attention to preventing heatstroke and cooling down.
