Feng Shui Knowledge: Four Spirits

Also known as the Four Beasts, they originated from the four astronomical phenomena in ancient times, referring to dragons, white tigers, suzaku and Xuanwu. Guo Pu's "Buried Sutra" is also called the Four Potentials: "The scripture says that the earth has four potentials, and qi comes from all directions. Therefore, the left is a dragon, the right is a white tiger, the front is Suzaku, and the back is Xuanwu. " It also refers to the mountains and rivers around Yangzhai. Feng shui experts believe that the four spirits were born from the spirit of all directions. If they can bow to their knees and keep their points in the center position, it will be great luck, and their grandchildren will be their masters. Miao Xiyong's "Buried Wing and Four Beasts Sand Water": "Those who marry four beasts should be affectionate in the cave, not bullied by the Lord, and do their best to defend themselves." Specifically, the requirements of feng shui for the four spirits are: first, the shape is exquisite and round. The mountains are green and lush, elegant and beautiful; The water is crystal clear, tortuous, warm and bright, full of shape, and can not be damaged or dried up. And the four must cooperate with each other and be evenly matched. Dragon and tiger leap, mountains and rivers set each other off. They must be incomplete, otherwise there is no way to gather gas. Second, the modality is dull and vivid. Dancing in the wind, caring for the master, holding the left back, holding the front back, bowing the back, wanting to go and want to stay. Guo Pu's Mang Jing says: "Xuanwu hangs its head, Suzaku dances, Qinglong jumps, and the white tiger tames." Although it is said separately, in fact, the text and meaning are mutually prepared, which means that Xuanwu, Suzaku, Qinglong and White Tiger should bow their heads, dance, dance and tame. If you push the conflict, you are the four fierce elephants, and your master will be in danger and there will be a fierce whirlpool disaster.
