What kind of place can be called a real "land of feng shui"?
According to the principle of mountains and rivers, green mountains and green waters are a beautiful environment that people generally yearn for, and it is also the basic principle of a good cemetery. The theory of geomantic omen embodies that "the owner of a mountain decides water to control wealth", which means that choosing a mountain can make future generations prosper; Choosing water can make money roll in.
I'm afraid people have heard more about the truth that "left green dragon, right white tiger, former Suzaku, and later Xuanwu". This is feng shui's summary of the topography around the cemetery. In fact, it is surrounded by mountains and there is a spacious basin in the middle. The "hole" of Feng Shui theory is in this basin, and the surrounding mountains and water are called "sand".
The principle of twists and turns In the past, quadrangles and temples all had screen walls facing the gate, and modern people also paid more attention to the design of the porch when decorating. Screen walls and porches are created to cope with Feng Shui, not just for beauty. Their function is to avoid and block Sha Qi from colliding head-on.
In ancient times, some people became famous, some were officials, and some made a fortune. People often talk about the geomantic omen of this man's ancestral grave, which is called "outstanding people". Feng Shui believes that Tang Ming's opening up is conducive to training talents and developing its career. Therefore, we should "go up the mountain to see the Shuikou" and "go into the cave to see Tang Ming". Tang Ming means that there must be a vast and flat place in front of the tomb. Only when Tang Ming is open and full of vitality can it have a bright future.
The principle of returning to nature In the current urban planning, the cemetery is getting farther and farther away from the city. Why not be closer to the city? It is convenient to pay homage to the grave. Isn't it more humane? Isn't it more modern to be wrapped in the middle of a tall building? Here, the geomantic omen of Yin House is just the opposite of Yang House. City people advocate the integration of people and vehicles, man-machine (computer) integration, work first, efficiency first, cemetery emphasizes nature first, and harmony between man and nature. ?
The principle of headwind water supply cemetery also pays attention to "headwind water supply". The upwind direction and water supply direction of Beijing are northwest, so the Ming Tombs are located in Changping District, northwest of Beijing. The northwest is determined according to the central axis of Beijing. This central axis starts from the Drum Tower in the north, passes through the Palace Museum and the front door, and ends at Yongdingmen in the south. The center is the Forbidden City, also known as the Forbidden City.
