I often encounter questions from Yi friends asking me which book is good for learning Feng Shui. Recently, some Yi friends have asked me about books in this area. I recommend two books to You Yi: "The Book of Suspicious Dragons" and "The Book of Shaking the Dragon".
These two books were written by Yang Junsong of the Tang Dynasty. They are particularly important classics on Feng Shui and have a particularly important status. Just like "Yuanhai Ziping" on numerology, they are important books for any sect. A must-learn classic for Feng Shui practitioners. The seven-character sentence of "The Suspicious Dragon Sutra" mainly talks about the types of dragon veins in China, the difference between dry dragons and branch dragons, the characteristics of dragon veins, and how to find the Longzhen Cave. The seven-character sentence of "Shaking the Dragon Sutra", It mainly talks about how to use the acupuncture point to make you rich and wealthy when you find the acupoint. These two books became introductory textbooks for disciples of the Luantou and Lishu sects. Thirty years ago, when I was studying Sanhe, a teacher recommended these two books. Later, when I transferred to Xuan Kong, a teacher recommended these two books. At that time, due to various reasons, I still did not read these two books. By chance, I heard that the wife of Mr. Su, who worked as the head of the logistics department of a division of the Lanzhou Military Region in my neighboring village, worked for the Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House. At that time, the Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House was printing the "Sikuquanshu", and Mr. Su's family had the "Sikuquanshu". There are several series of books in "Kuquanshu", including these two books.
After hearing the news, another Xuankong Feng Shui enthusiast and I went to a neighboring village to borrow books. After asking, we found out that the two books were not at the neighboring village’s house, but at the house of Mr. Korlesu in Xinjiang. In order to borrow these two books, this Yi friend and I did more than half of the farm work for Mr. Su in the neighboring village. Our actions impressed Mr. Su’s father, and he asked his son to bring these two books when he visited relatives during the New Year. bring. When I saw these two books, I felt like I had found a treasure. The book also contains Feng Shui classics that we heard we had never seen before: "Burial Sutra", "Burial Method with an Inverted Staff", "Qing Sang Secret", "Ji Guan Pian", etc., and I Yi You divided the work and copied it day and night. He had to finish it when Mr. Su returned to Xinjiang after visiting his relatives, because he had to take it with him when he left. It took half a month of copying to finish copying these two books, and then I read them repeatedly to understand their gist. I deeply felt that these two books are classics of Feng Shui. It is very practical when actually operating the Dragon Vein acupoints, and very effective after burial, so I recommend these two books to Feng Shui enthusiasts.
