What palace is Shangtan Xiaxun?
In geomantic omen, the location, layout, orientation and other factors of buildings are considered to affect the wealth of the area and the fate of residents. The "Kan" and "Xun" in "Going to the Kan and Going to the Xun" are two hexagrams in the Eight Diagrams. Kan represents water and Xun represents wood. According to this concept, buildings should be located between mountains and rivers, that is, areas with relatively high mountains, and face plains or water sources at the same time, so as to obtain better gas field and fortune. Therefore, in some important official buildings, such as palaces and temples, the layout of "up and down" is generally adopted.
It should be noted that Feng Shui is a traditional cultural belief and concept, and its scientificity and reliability are controversial. In the process of practical application, the choice of architecture should also be considered in combination with the actual situation and personal preferences.
