Who is the ancestor of Feng Shui, and who is the main worshiper?
There is an old saying: "Three hundred and sixty lines, no ancestors can stand". That means that all walks of life will have their own grandfathers. So, who is the granddaddy of Feng Shui? There are different opinions, but who is the main worshiper among the people? Let's learn the basics of Feng Shui together!
According to the convention, there are several conditions to be a granddaddy of an industry:
(1) the inventor of a certain skill.
(2) people who have made great contributions to the formation of an industry.
(3) A historical celebrity has worked in a certain industry.
(4) A certain deity is related to a certain industry.
From this point of view, Zhang Fei can become the ancestor of the slaughter industry with the third condition mentioned above. Zhang Fei is a historical celebrity and a butcher, so he was naturally "recommended" by later generations as the ancestor of the slaughter industry.
Yang Gongyun Song, Zi Yi, was born in the late Tang Dynasty. When he was in Tang Xizong, he was the official doctor Jin Ziguanglu and the director of Lingtai. Later, he turned to the people, wrote a book and said that he would build a house to teach disciples, do feng shui for the people, and give people the title of "saving the poor".
In fact, China's geomantic culture can be traced back to thousands of years, and there are many people who have made achievements in the field of geomantic omen. The fact that people listed Yang's helping the poor as the 17th generation master of geomantic omen is acknowledged. The former teachers are: Dahua Xian, Jiutian Xuan Nv, Tao Kanxian, Lv Caixian, Baihexian, Jade Bird Xian, Qiu Yaxian, Zhang Liangxian, Fu Shanxian, Chen Fuxian, Yang Xianren, Youth Xian, Bai Zhongxian, Gucheng Xian, Yuan Tiangang and Qiu Yanhan.
How did Yang Gong, who was only about 1,1 years ago, stand out as the granddaddy of Feng Shui? Compared with the above conditions, it is self-evident: Yang helped the poor and made great contributions to the formation of the Feng Shui industry! Specifically, there are the following aspects:
1. Yang was an amphibious feng shui master who entered the folk from the palace. Guo Pu, Yuan Tiangang, etc. before Yang helped the poor, and Liu Bowen, etc. later, were all Buddhist teachers of the palace. They basically only served the emperor. They left the palace at the same time as Yang helped the poor, and they were Qiu Yanhan, Yang's immediate boss. After entering the folk, they just hung around among bureaucrats, that is, colleagues, and rarely benefited the people. Only Yang helped the poor and walked out of the palace for decades after Huang Chao uprising.
2. It was Yang who helped the poor to push Feng Shui to the peak, and it became a system of its own. Yang is the most comprehensive feng shui master in helping the poor, which is not only due to his palace secrets, but also due to his hard practice. Mountains and rivers are vivid creatures in front of Yang Gong. Yang Gong realized their situation and language from the situation of mountains, and got the essence of regulating qi. People defined Yang Gong's geomantic theory as "Yang Gong geomantic omen".
3. Yang Gong followed Confucius' thought of "teaching without distinction" in academic inheritance, and carried forward the theory of Feng Shui. There are at least three apprentices who have been handed down by Yang Gong. They are Zeng Wenqi, Liu Jiangdong and Liao Jing (Jin Jing). Among them, Liao Jinjing is a geomantic family and had a solid foundation before he worshipped Yang Gong (the number of apprentices in different versions of Yang Gong is different, but they can't stand scrutiny). There are many disciples of Yang who helped the poor, not to mention that Zeng Wenqi re-transmitted Lai Buyi and Yang Gong's two disciples, Liu Jiangdong, only rejuvenating the country and making three generations. After Zeng Wenqi and Liao Yan studied in Yang Gong, the art of Kanyu was passed down from generation to generation, and famous artists came forth in large numbers, including 24 Buddhist teachers who lived in dynasties and 72 master teachers, among whom 36 were directly named as doctors of Qin Tianjian by the emperor.
3. Yang Gong's geomantic works can be said to be unprecedented. Before Yang, except for Guo Pu's Book of Burial, Yu was rare, even if it existed, it was also in the upper level, and the people could not peep. However, Yang Gongyou has handed down such geomantic classics as Suspected Dragon Sutra, Regret Dragon Sutra, Sanlong Sutra, Heinang Sutra, Zhenglongzi Sutra, Du Tianbao Zhao Sutra, Qingnang Aoyu, Qingnang Preface, Lizufu and Tianyu Sutra. These are priceless treasures handed down from generation to generation (some of them may be disguised, and there is no way to verify them).
4. Yang Gong and his disciples have spared no pains and traveled all over Ganzhou and surrounding areas. In case of auspicious soil, pictures or notes, they have left a large number of metaphysical "Clamp Notes" for those who are predestined and blessed.
It's like the "clamp record" left by Youfengcheng: the land is sloppy and sloppy, with golden footnotes, but it looks like an ox yoke. The front and back halls of the emperor, the front seats of the nobles, the doors of the sun and the moon, the dragons and tigers holding halberds, and the people buried, the princes and princes of the two countries, have been rich for a hundred years, and if they make a fortune, they must first be in Jiangbei.
