"The white tiger wears the hall, and the family is defeated." What does the white tiger mean? Many people don't know
geomantic omen is a metaphysics with a long history in ancient China. After the constant supplement and changes of geomantic omen in past dynasties, it has gradually become a complex and complicated discipline, and its complexity is no less profound than that of traditional Chinese medicine.
At first, geomantic omen was only used for people's site selection, and then I don't know when it added more fantastic elegance. Many simple housing construction foundations have become things that many people play tricks on and seek personal gain.
To break these puzzles, the geomantic omen that ordinary people can understand is actually just the experience of many ancestors and ancients. As for the talking about the green dragon and white tiger, it is more like being used to determine the orientation in the past when there was no navigation.
With the constant exaggeration of many dead people, people finally feel that this is a feudal superstition, and it has been swept into the garbage dump of history.
geomantic omen
Geomantic omen has great directive significance for modern architecture. In the era when people still need to build their own houses, there are some requirements for the choice of the ground.
First of all, the height of the ground should be higher than the road surface. It has always been one of the important knowledge of geomantic omen, and its function in reality is simple, and the lighting will be better. In geomantic omen, one of them is called Shaqi, which is harmful to living.
And living on a higher foundation is also conducive to waterproofing and rodent control, and the relatively high terrain is also conducive to the air circulation of the house. Leaving aside feudal superstitions, this is actually good architectural common sense.
For the same house, the ground should be relatively flat and not steep. According to geomantic theory, this is to build a relatively good geomantic pattern. If the terrain is steep, it is not good geomantic omen, and steep symbolizes danger, which is not conducive to people's career development.
in people's real life, if the ground rises after entering the house, it is very likely that you will be accidentally injured when entering the house or going out, which will bring trouble to your entry and exit. If you fall badly, it will definitely affect the development of your career.
When people choose the foundation to build houses, the site selection of the foundation should be above the terrain slope, not below. In geomantic omen, this represents the high end. In real life, the ancient infrastructure is poor, and a little extreme weather will cause floods. Building a house higher can also guarantee to minimize the impact of natural disasters.
after the house site selection is completed, the orientation of the house should also be studied. The south of the mountain is sunny, and the north of the water is cloudy. Therefore, the location of ancient houses should be near mountains and waters, so there is a saying that there must be people near mountains and waters.
Today, many large cities are built near water, relying on rich resources and convenient transportation, which makes the city's economy develop greatly.
Back to the house, the orientation of the house should be facing south. The window is open in the south. Because China is located in the north, the sun appears in the south. Facing the south can ensure enough lighting, which makes the home less humid and makes the family less likely to get sick.
finally, in the house, the toilet and the gate should not be connected. According to geomantic theory, the toilet is a place to shelter evil people and shelter evil practices, and the turbidity is heavy. If it is opposite to the gate, it will directly affect the feng shui of this family.
to be honest, it is because the toilet was dirty before, facing the gate directly, and the wind at the entrance would blow away the air in the toilet, making the family easily sick.
the history of the development of geomantic omen
China people's awareness of geographical geomantic omen came into being very early, which can be traced back to ancient times, when human beings were just a tiny species among thousands of creatures, with many animals and few people, and people could not defeat animals, insects and snakes after all.
At first, people lived in trees. With the gradual understanding and transformation of nature, primitive villages gradually formed. Relying on the large number of people and man-made geographical advantages, people in ancient times gradually survived the survival of the fittest in the environment. At that time, more sites were located at the intersection of rivers.
As time goes by, I have chosen my residence through divination. The formation of geomantic theory was mainly in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and during the Qin Dynasty, Zhu Xiantao's Sou Shan Ji became an important part of geomantic theory.
By the time of Han Dynasty, people had combined the existing Yin-Yang and Five Elements with Tai Chi and Eight Diagrams to form a complex discipline, which also formed China's unique theoretical system of understanding everything in the world and the universe. It is its appearance that makes Feng Shui a discipline.
Time came to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, when Feng Shui masters were highly respected. By the Sui Dynasty, Feng Shui gradually established contact with astronomical books.
In geography, we also began to investigate the mountains and rivers. Liu Bowen, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, was a master of Feng Shui. Dialectics of Geography, written in this period, is a classic of modern geomantic theory.
The white tiger goes through the hall, and the family is ruined.
First, explain what the white tiger is. In the study of ancient astrology, the sky is divided into four star regions, namely East black dragon, South Suzaku, West White Tiger and North Xuanwu. Among the four elephants, the white tiger is located in the west, and the west mainly kills, so there is the proverb that the white tiger goes through the hall.
The white tiger here is synonymous with a position. At the same time, in ancient times, there was a saying that left Qinglong and right white tiger, so when the white tiger was said, it meant the west and the right. Thus, in ancient times, this method was used to distinguish good and bad luck, and some haunted houses in Feng Shui also came from this.
Where did the White Tiger Hall come from? In ancient times, the ancient buildings in China were generally symmetrical, no matter from the royal gardens to the self-built houses of ordinary people.
The white tiger hall is a kind of view that destroys the building with the geomantic pattern. The hall is a long corridor, that is, there is a whole corridor on the right side of the house, which means evil in geomantic omen.
From the visual point of view, firstly, there is a lack of symmetrical aesthetic feeling, and because this special house structure destroys the geomantic omen of the house, the owner's luck of this house will get worse and worse, and even the family will be ruined.
In Ten Books of Yangzhai, an ideal house was introduced, which faces south, with symmetrical sides, close to the mountain and water, or because of terrain problems, it is acceptable to have to be left high and right low, but it must not be right high and left low, and the white tiger also refers to the right side. If the right is high and left low, it will inevitably cause the white tiger to be higher than the Qinglong, which will make it taboo for the white tiger to wear a hall.
From the perspective of traditional culture, the white tiger wears a hall, and the family is ruined. Apart from relying on geomantic omen, it can also meet the psychological needs of the owner. Although it was feudal superstition, it satisfied the desire of the common people to pursue a better life at that time, which is of some practical significance.
