Why is the Qing Dynasty called the Qing Dynasty?
The Qing dynasty was originally a state of Jin, but the Ming dynasty's "Ming" belonged to fire, and fire gave birth to gold. Nurhachi was defeated by Yuan Chonghuan, and the word "Huan" also belonged to fire. After the Jurchen nationality changed to "Man", the State of Jin changed to Qing Dynasty, and the word "Man" was divided into three parts, and water was like fire (Ming), and finally it was extinguished.
Jurchen aristocrats, ancestors of Manchu people, once established the "Jin" country. The predecessor of the Qing Dynasty was Daikin, whose surname was Aisingiorro, meaning "Jin". Huang Taiji changed "Daikin" to "Qing" because "Qing" takes water as the radical, and the word "Ming" contains the meaning of fire, just like using water to put out fires in Qing Dynasty. Therefore, Huang Taiji used superstition to create public opinion for himself and seize state power.

Many people ask me if there is geomantic omen in architecture. I can only tell him that I have never studied geomantic omen in architecture department of university, and my initial understanding of geomantic omen in architecture is only through the university course-the content of ancient buildings in the history of architectural development. After taking part in the work, I encountered many practical problems, which forced me to study architectural geomantic omen, and found that the mystery was deep and the contents were endless. Due to the limited space, I can only briefly introduce the related knowledge of Yin and Yang five lines of gossip in Feng Shui, and interested colleagues can conduct in-depth discussion and research with me in the future.
What is Feng Shui?
There is a wonderful explanation in "The Debate of Feng Shui": "The so-called wind makers take advantage of their mountains and are not in a hurry to take the wind from all sides; The so-called water people take the high and dry terrain, and the angel water is close to the husband and skin. If the water potential turns, it will have a second meaning. " Historically, geography, Yin and Yang, Bu Zhai, Xiang Zhai, Tu Zhai, Xing Fa, Wu Qin and Kan Yu all refer to China Feng Shui. In academic circles, it agrees with public opinion, while other titles are more popular among the people. Kanyu is known as the study of heaven and earth, claiming that "Heaven is comparable to Heaven and is authentic", involving astronomy, geography, the Book of Changes, gossip, heavenly stems, earthly branches, the Book of Songs, Luo Shu, river maps and so on.
In fact, geomantic omen is also a theory of ancient architecture in China, which can be said to be an important part of traditional architectural culture in China, and pays the most attention to the unity of heaven and earth. Modern science is also related to many disciplines, such as human geography, life geography, behavioral geography, environmental psychology, psychological field theory, medical geography and so on. It can be seen that Feng Shui is still scientific in a specific social category.
Theory of yin and Yang
According to Feng Shui, everything in the world is based on Yin and Yang, with the sun representing Yang and the moon representing Yin. Later, the sun and the moon merged into "Yi", and the Book of Changes was actually based on the theory of Yin and Yang. Yin-yang theory holds that: Ming, Shang, wai, heat, movement, speed, masculinity and strength belong to Yang; Dark, downward, inward, cold, quiet, slow, female and weak belong to yin. It can be seen that Yin and Yang are opposites, and it is this opposition that can explain the balance of everything, and architecture is no exception. For example, the Sunshine Palm Garden, with its base facing the road, has no landscape, and belongs to an open space with plenty of sunshine; Architects skillfully designed a large area of waterscape and vegetation in the residential area, diluted the rigid natural environment around with flexible humanistic landscape to balance yin and yang, and achieved good results. Mountain, lake and forest projects have some shortcomings in this respect. The project base itself is located next to a big lake and surrounded by mountains. It is a "cloudy" place, but now many people feel "gloomy" when they go to see it. The reason is that architects did not carry out some open humanized landscape design in the community. If some dynamic water features are designed in the lake so that ships can row in; I believe that it will be much better to arrange some dynamic barrier-free spaces such as sports parks and strolling squares on the mountains and dilute the negative environment with positive things in order to balance it (I don't know if I will do this in the future). Of course, this is only from the perspective of geomantic omen to explain the planning, and there are many factors that affect the quality of the project.
The concept of yin and yang in the application of geomantic omen is even reflected in place names. According to the theory of Feng Shui Yin and Yang, the south of the mountain is Yin, and the south of the mountain is Yang. Therefore, historical place names such as Xianyang (Weihe River North), Jingyang (Jinghe River North), Luoyang (Luoshui North), Jiangyin (Changjiang South), Huaiyin (Huaihe River South), Hengyang (Hengshan South), Yueyang (Dongting Lake Hubei) and so on are all dependent on the concept of Feng Shui Yin and Yang. Colleagues meet developers who believe in Feng Shui. When choosing the name of a building, you can refer to this law of geomantic omen, especially those buildings that are close to mountains and rivers.
Mystery of five elements
Historians have always believed that Mencius was the founder of the Five Elements Theory, while Yi-ology scholars believe that the Five Elements Theory came into being at the same time as the Yin-Yang Theory. It is difficult for us to study. However, the five elements theory has been spread to this day, but the concept is the same. Five elements: water, wood, fire, earth and gold coexist with each other. That is to say, "mutual life order, mutual grams", aquatic wood, and grams of fire, and so on. Why? The ancients believed that water can put out fires, fire can melt metals, metal products can cut down trees, roots can penetrate the soil, and the soil can absorb water to make it disappear. It is also believed that water can moisten trees, wood can burn to produce fire, fire can turn burning things into dust, metal minerals can be found in soil, dew can be produced on cold metal surfaces, and metals will become liquid after melting.
The Qing dynasty was originally a state of Jin, but the Ming dynasty's "Ming" belonged to fire, and fire gave birth to gold. Nurhachi was defeated by Yuan Chonghuan, and the word "Huan" also belonged to fire. After the Jurchen nationality changed to "Man", the State of Jin changed to Qing Dynasty, and the word "Man" was divided into three parts, and water was like fire (Ming), and finally it was extinguished. Of course, this is just a story, but it seems quite reasonable.
From the perspective of color and orientation, it also corresponds to the five elements, and there are five colors and five positions. It is considered that water is black (north), wood is blue (east), fire is red (south), soil is yellow (middle) and metal is white (west). Colleagues went to Beijing to observe the Forbidden City carefully. Palace walls and columns are red, belonging to fire, aboveboard. The roof is yellow. Yellow belongs to the earth and the center. The emperor must be in the center. The roof in the east of the palace is cyan (green), which belongs to oriental wood green and belongs to spring. The prince lives in the east. Wen Yuan Pavilion uses black tiles and walls, and black is water, which can restrain fire and is beneficial to book collection. No trees are planted from Tiananmen to Duanmen, which means that the south is a fire and it is not suitable for adding trees. Wood fire is not conducive to the disaster prevention of wood structure here.
The five elements are also related to the five internal organs. According to the theory of five elements, the kidney belongs to water, the liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen and stomach belong to soil, and the lung belongs to gold. The north is water, which belongs to kidney. Strong kidney, developed bones. People in the north are healthy and can become athletes. The south is separated from fire, and it is the heart, "the heart governs the gods", that is, the brain is smart and the thinking is agile. Southerners are more flexible in doing business, and most Chinese rich people in the world are southerners. The west belongs to the lung, "the lung opens in the nose", so the size of the nose can determine the function of the lung. Xinjiang people and even westerners have developed noses. The east is liver fire, and the liver governs bile. Northeasters and Shandong people are generous and generous. According to the theory of five elements of geomantic omen, colleagues can also communicate with developers in planning as a statement in practical work.
Gossip orientation
Hetu and Luoshu are the sources of China's cultural development, and some people call China culture "Heluo culture". River map and Luo Shu are two "mysteries", and where they originated is still inconclusive. According to ancient legends, in the ancient Fuxi era, there was a magical dragon horse carrying a mysterious picture, which appeared on the surface of Mengshui, symbolizing auspiciousness and celebration. Later people called it "river map". In the era of Dayu's flood control, another turtle floated out of Luoshui with another mysterious picture, which was called "Luoshu" by later generations. Fu Xishi performed eight diagrams from River Map and Congenital Fuxi Eight Diagrams; At the end of Shang Dynasty and the beginning of Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wenwang deduced another kind of gossip sequence and sixty-four hexagrams from Luo Shu, which were called "The Eight Diagrams of the King of the Later Heaven" and sixty-four hexagrams.
It is said that people's diet, clothing, birth and death, breeding and planting, metal smelting and other ecological and production matters are all decided by innate gossip. Gua Wen said: the orientation of heaven and earth. Yamazawa is ventilated Lightning and wind are thin. Fire and water are incompatible. Gossip is wrong. The sum of diagonal numbers of innate gossip is nine, which means that nine is the largest and the ninth five-year plan is the highest. Cognac, Duier, Lisan, Zhensi, Xunwu, Liu Kan, Genqi and Kunba are congenital numbers.
It is said that personnel such as sacrifices, weddings and funerals can be calculated through gossip the day after tomorrow. Gua said: the emperor was shocked. Qi huxun. Let's go when we meet. Serve Kun. Say what you said. Fight or not. Work hard. This is a big deal. The sum of the diagonal numbers of the acquired hexagrams is ten. This is called folding. China, Indians and Catholics all put their hands together to "salute", which is also called folding. Is it suitable? It is the number of the day after tomorrow, and this appropriate truth comes from here. Kani, Kuner, Shinzo, Thinking, Liu Gan, Duiqi, Genba and Li Jiu are the last days.
Gossip and guidance are also closely linked, and Kanbei is closed; From the south, Jingmen; The earthquake is the east, hurting the door; For the west, for surprise; Xun is the southeast, the door; Kun is the southwest, the gate of death; Gen 3 1: 10 is the northeast and the door; Open the door for the northwest. It can be seen that from the perspective of geomantic omen, Jingmen (south) and wooden door (southeast) are the first choice for building orientation, but Jingmen (west) and Dead Gate (southwest) are not suitable.
The knowledge of gossip is quite mysterious, which is not easy to study and spreads far away. At present, the national flag of South Korea and the symbol of Singapore Air Force are all gossip symbols, which reflects the influence of China's gossip culture on the surrounding areas. Scientists in western countries have also found that there are many similarities between the periodic table of chemical elements and the spiral changes of decimal and gossip. Moreover, many natural mysteries that modern science can't explain have found answers in China's ancient gossip theory, which shocked the world.
