Is the mountain city usually located on the mountainside or at the foot of the mountain? Why?

Whether mountain cities are generally located at the foot of the mountain is naturally the basis of human existence, and people are also a part of nature. The first sentence in the opening of the geomantic classic "Ten Books of Yangzhai" says: "The place where people live should be dominated by mountains and rivers." Why? Because water is the source of life, mountains and rivers can provide people with food, wood for building houses and other means of subsistence. All the advanced civilized areas in history, such as the Yellow River Basin, the Yangtze River Basin, the Nile River Basin and the Aegean Sea, are close to water sources. This is the so-called "qi stops at water". Where there is water, gas will "gather", which is the result of people's choice of living environment and the essential demand of human survival. At present, both the Yangtze River Delta Basin and the Pearl River Delta Basin in China are economically developed areas, while the Songhua River Delta Basin in the northeast is originally an economically and industrially developed area. However, due to people's poor awareness of environmental protection and serious environmental damage, some areas of Songhua River Basin have been cut off. Is this just a coincidence with the gradual backwardness of the economic situation in the delta region? Can't help but cause people to think. Some scholars have also made corresponding geomantic assessments on some foreign cities such as Moscow and Washington, and found that the patterns of these big cities also meet the basic requirements of geomantic omen. It can be seen that no matter ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, cultural similarities and differences, the essential needs of human survival are the same. In Feng Shui, this is "Qi".

Sharp, beautiful, mighty and majestic mountains, such dragons are called "real dragons" and can be angry when they meet with anger. Raptors are mountains with broken, bloated, weak, sparse branches and leaves and no trees. Such dragons are called "old dragons" and "dead dragons", and the gas they suffer is also bad and fierce. What we usually call "green mountains and green waters" and "green" refer to the greening of mountains. There are many trees on the mountain, which are called "green hills". Trees can play a role in soil and water conservation. If there are no trees on the mountain, it will cause soil erosion, and "green mountains and green waters" will become "wasteland". Gullies, landslides, collapses and other phenomena that are not conducive to mountain construction have caused serious economic losses and even threatened people's lives. Feng Shui believes that "dragon" cannot be broken, and "dragon" breaks "qi". From the perspective of modern science, the "Dragon" fault actually refers to the unfavorable geological conditions such as earthquake fault zone and ground fissure, which is not suitable for building. Furthermore, the firmness of underground rock and soil layer is directly related to the bearing capacity of foundation. It can be seen that the so-called "dragon" refers to the engineering geological conditions mentioned in our construction, and the study of "dragon" in Feng Shui is actually a part of geological science in modern science.

Caves are places where qi and dragons gather and where we choose to live, live and work. Paleogeographers named Tang Ming after the place name before the cave (Yinyangjia of Zhouyi). Refers to the flat land near the water in front of the "hole". "Cave dwelling" often becomes an important place in the city, which is conducive to the accumulation of "gas". The relationship between "point" and "hall" is the relationship between "point" and "face" "Acupoints" play the role of "control points" and are the premise of Tang Ming. The positioning of "Tang Ming" is also in line with the "marginal effect" proposed by western scholars. As the saying goes, "relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft." It shows that mountains and water can provide necessary means of life and production for human beings. Close to water, there is a guarantee of life; Near the mountain, it provides all kinds of food for human beings. You can't be too far from the mountains or the water, which is also the embodiment of the "golden mean" advocated by Confucianism. Lujiazui in Pudong, Shanghai is a good example. Huangpu River flows from southwest to northeast, becoming a "jade belt with water" mode in traditional geomantic omen. Later, many high-rise buildings were built around a central green space, which can be regarded as the location of "Tang Ming", thus forming a typical "gas gathering" mode. The direction of water is the direction of qi. And "qi" and water are in the same direction. "Qi" runs through water, and the flow of water drives the flow of "Qi". And the "Qi" gathered by different water has different properties. The water is clear and tastes sweet. The water is turbid and black, and its bitter taste is fierce. The water quality is different, that is, when the contents of various trace elements in water are different, the properties of water are also different. The physical fitness of local residents in areas with good water quality is better than that in other places, and people suffering from endemic diseases in some areas are also related to water quality.

Water also has the function of transportation. No matter ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, inland and offshore, all cities with good water conservancy and transportation conditions have relatively developed economies. In cities, roads are also regarded as water by Mr. Feng Shui. Cities with convenient transportation have more developed economies than ordinary areas. Historically, the development of every city is related to the degree of traffic development. As mentioned above, mountains can provide people with the necessary means of survival, which just embodies what the folks say: "Mountains manage people and wealth."

Water has both advantages and disadvantages. Try to choose the convex bank of the river instead of the concave bank of the river to avoid the flood. Sunshine and ventilation must be satisfied, which means "good luck" and vice versa. We know that the best direction is not due to the north-south direction, but slightly deviated by the influence of the earth's magnetic field. So 15 south to east? On behalf of Kyrgyzstan; Because of the cold in the north, sunshine plays a major role in the consideration of orientation, so we should try our best to strive for the "hot axis" direction (i.e. 15? It is auspicious to get heat. Furthermore, China is located in the northern hemisphere, and "negative yin holding yang" means "facing south and facing north", and the same "negative yin holding yang" becomes "facing north and facing south" in the southern hemisphere.

It can be seen that the choice of good or bad luck is also based on the fundamental survival needs of human beings, and its essence is the choice of astronomy and geomagnetism, so the feng shui pattern in different regions is different and cannot be fixed.
