Guangzhou Jinshan cemetery
Jinshan Cemetery is backed by Long Mai Mountain, and the streams in the mountain flow from both sides of the cemetery like meridians and pour into Admiralty Lake. Water is the source of life, and there is life when there is water in mountains. A mountain without water seems to have no soul, so there is a saying in Feng Shui: If there is no water in the mountain, don't look for land again. Look at the water before you look at the mountain.
It can be seen that "the master of mountains and the master of wealth" is the simplest and most incisive summary of investigating the geomantic omen of cemeteries. Some feng shui theories that focus on regulating qi emphasize storing wind and gathering qi. As the saying goes, "the method of geomantic omen is to get water first, then hide the wind" (burial book) thinks that the bigger the water surface, the thicker the gas gathering and the thicker the wealth.
I'm afraid people have heard more about the truth that "left green dragon, right white tiger, former Suzaku, and later Xuanwu". This is feng shui's summary of the topography around the cemetery. In fact, it is surrounded by mountains and there is a spacious basin in the middle. The "hole" in Feng Shui is in this basin, and the surrounding mountains are called "sand" in Feng Shui.
This kind of terrain is also reflected in the word "burial" mentioned above, which is the word "Fu" (pronounced as arch) below the word, which means holding hands together and forming a hollow cave in the middle. The ancients thought it was a good burial place, so the word "burial" itself reflected the ancients' view of funeral. Xiangshan, the backing of Admiralty Cemetery, is conducive to resisting the cold coming from the north in winter. The front mountain (Kameyama Mountain) is located at its peak, which is shorter than the back. It is like a sacrifice, and it is like a worship for children and grandchildren. The endless hills are like many people standing in front. This situation is called "before a hundred officials stand" in Feng Shui. The platform in the middle of the cemetery looks like a paper shell, which is called a mountain in geomantic omen.
Recently, there was a paper case before the case, and there were hundreds of officials in court before the case. So many people see Admiralty Cemetery and think it is an ideal cemetery, which can be called a model of cemetery. The principle of twists and turns In the past, quadrangles and temples all had screen walls facing the gate, and modern people also paid more attention to the design of the porch when decorating. Screen walls and porches are created to cope with Feng Shui, not just for beauty.
Their function is to avoid and block Sha Qi from colliding head-on. How can a cemetery stop suffocation? The principle of geomantic omen advocates "straight is blunt" and "curved is smooth". The road should be curved and the landscape should be winding. The winding path leads to a secluded place not only has the practical effect of geomantic omen, but also has a unique artistic effect, such as the garden buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, which embodies this aesthetic psychology. Due to the winding mountain road, the road leading to Admiralty Cemetery is slowly rising. Walking on the road gives people the feeling of pilgrimage. Pay attention to the general principles of feng shui when choosing a cemetery.
