What is the meaning of "seeking dragons" in Feng Shui?
In geomantic terms, ancient people found that the ground and groundwater in different areas have different compositions, and the water containing specific compositions has nourished the local soil for a long time. When the mineral composition of soil reaches a special proportion, it will form an environment that is extremely suitable for the survival of animals and plants. This special soil was originally called Longsha. Ancient people even used this soil as medicine to treat diseases.
The so-called search for dragons is actually to find the main vein of the mountain, commonly known as "looking for a backer." Generally, the mountains are required to be majestic, long and undulating. Long-term, fat is far-reaching; Short-lived, short-lived What do you mean, looking for dragons? Looking for dragons refers to "looking for dragons in the sky", a geomantic term. Observing the rise and fall of dragons by astrology is a method of Kanyu family.
The purpose of hunting dragons is to find a specific place and position, which can be used to build two houses of Yin and Yang. This particular place and location is the cave. The vitality of the dragon is stripped from the ancestral mountain of the dragon to the cave where the mountains and rivers meet, just like a vine with luxuriant branches and leaves.
The pulse of the dragon is determined by the internal structure of Long Mai, not by the appearance of Long Mai. Long Mai's Guanxia protection is only a secondary external reference factor when judging whether the dragon is real or fake. It's like judging which part of a person has a tumor just by appearance. Its accuracy can be imagined.
Zushan is the root, Long Mai is the stem, branches and leaves are the health, crossing the gorge is the knot, the fruit handle is the bundle of gas, and the acupoints are the fruit. Melons and fruits are the result of the vitality of melons and vines, and acupoints are the points where the vitality of dragons condenses. Melons and vines with deep roots and flourishing leaves can bear good fruits, and only real dragons can bear real caves. Therefore, as the saying goes, "the root core is true, and the point is not false."
Only by observing the internal structure of Long Mai can we accurately judge the authenticity of Long Mai, but it is impossible to accurately judge the authenticity of Long Mai only by relying on the external form of Long Mai. The external situation of Long Mai is only a secondary reference factor to judge the authenticity of Long Mai.
In addition, it also requires rich vegetation and fog. The reason why the requirements are very long is that dragons have more water and lack water. In feng shui, getting water is the most important, followed by hiding the wind. So in the long run, the water flow is also long, which is called a long history. To judge the quality of Long Mai, the criteria for examination and approval are long-term and the rise and fall of the mountain.
For thousands of miles, the range of acupoints is only a few hundred feet, and the range of acupoints is one or two feet. The acupoints in the yangzhai are large in area, while the acupoints in the yinzhai are sometimes just a point, and the up-and-down displacement is not a point. The ancients said, "The point is three feet higher than the prime minister, and the point is three feet lower than the prime minister." In other words, acupuncture should not be sloppy, but accurate, not slightly higher or lower, left or right. This is similar to the acupuncture points of the human body. One of the basic essentials of acupuncture treatment is to select points accurately without any deviation.
Looking for dragons to find caves in geomantic omen, the ancients said: three years to find dragons, ten years to find caves. In other words, it takes a long time to learn to find dragons, but it is even more difficult to know how to order them, even ten years. However, if there is no correct method, even if it takes a hundred years, it is impossible to point out the real gas gathering point in the Feng Shui cave. In this way, the efforts to find the dragon will be in vain.
"Searching for dragons, acupoints, sand, water, direction and date" are all the contents of China's geomantic theory. In the whole development process of China's Feng Shui theory, due to the objective limitations of history, China's Feng Shui theory is full of "idealism and superstition"; Due to the limitations of the world outlook and outlook on life of past masters, China's geomantic theory entered a paranoid "portal view".
