What feng shui concepts are embodied in the construction of the Forbidden City?
1, the morphological structure of inner and outer cities and innate gossip
"Heaven and earth are positioned, mountains are ventilated, thunder and wind are thin, and water and fire are incompatible." Is a description of innate gossip's position.
The outer city is in the south, for the line, for the sky; The inner city is in the north, for Kun and for the land. The outer city is flat and round, and the inner city is the symbol of innate gossip's "orientation of heaven and earth".
The southeast corner of the outer city twists and turns; The northwest corner of the inner city is concave; The southeast is the direction, and the exchange is ze; Northwest is the direction of divination, and the root is the mountain, which is the embodiment of innate gossip's "mountain ventilation".
2, the main axis layout and Luoshu Jiugong
The layout of the main shaft is designed according to Luo Shu's mathematical theory: the main shaft starts from Yongdingmen in the south and reaches the north-south vertical line of the Drum Tower in the north. It is fifteen miles long. Running through the center of Beijing, Beijing is divided into two parts: east and west. The length of this line is the number "15", which is based on the middle three numbers 9, 5 and 1 arranged vertically in Luoshu.
(Now the subway, the ring line takes the inner city line, and there are four stops in the north: Jishuitan, Drum Tower, Andingmen and Lama Temple; There are four stations in the east: Dongzhimen, Dongsishitiao, Chaoyangmen and Jianguomen. There are six stations in the south: Beijing Railway Station, Chongwenmen, Qianmen, Heping Gate, Xuanwu Gate and Changchun Street. There are Fuxingmen, Fuchengmen, Chegongzhuang and Xizhimen stations in the west; A total of 18 is the number of "29". The sum of north and south is 10, which corresponds to Luo Shu's "crossing the palace". The newly-built first-line subway crossing Tiananmen Square, from Fuxingmen to Jianguomen, has exactly five stops (Xidan, Tiananmen West, Tiananmen East, Wangfujing and Dongdan), and this "five" just corresponds to the "Central Five" in Luoshu. )
3. Color Selection and Eight Diagrams in Houtiangong
Green is a tree, divination, spring and the east, symbolizing the beginning of all things and the germination of vegetation; Yellow, belonging to the earth, is Kun Gua, long summer, middle, symbolizing virtue and carrying things; Red, fire, is a deviation from divination, is summer, located in the south, symbolizing that the light shines everywhere; Therefore, these three colors are auspicious. White belongs to gold, symbolizing sunset. Black, water, divination, winter and north symbolize abyss and danger; These two colors are unlucky, so they are not taken by the palace.
Feng Shui Effect of Beijing Gate
Because the city gate is an entrance guard, you have to slow down to find the direction when you walk to the city gate (where you go through the formalities of entering the city), so there will be an "occupancy rate" and business will be done slowly. Over time, the city gate has some special symbols, such as the grain ear pattern carved in Chaoyangmen, the plum blossom pattern carved in Fuchengmen and the water pattern group carved in Xizhimen, which represent the grain, coal and water closely related to the means of human life. These are what the builders intend to do, indicating that the classification and trend of urban political, military and socio-economic activities are consciously and purposefully divided through the city gates, that is, as Mount Ford said: "This functional organic configuration makes the urban internal area free from the pressure of external traffic except local traffic." So as to ensure the normal operation of the capital. But I still can't prove that Dongzhimen took a wooden car.
The second ring road from Dongzhimen to Dongsishitiao did not develop in ancient commerce, which may be a humanistic formula caused by granaries. Granary has its particularity. In order to strengthen supervision, business will not improve much within its extended scope. At present, the business within the Second Ring Road in this area is not very developed, which may be related to the existence of some special units.
Beijing, as a land of dragons, has a long-term prosperity in the pattern of geomantic omen, which is supported by its unique advantages of geomantic omen. Locals in Beijing also attach great importance to people who are in the same water and soil. They think that in all China, except Beijingers, they are all foreigners. The wind and water turn, sometimes not necessarily, let Shanghai Allah.
