In recent years, more and more people have regained their enthusiasm for Feng Shui, hoping to learn more about Feng Shui.
So, what books should I read to learn Feng Shui? What are the enlightenment textbooks for getting started with Feng Shui? Let's sum it up together.
I ching:
"The head of the group classics is the source of the avenue." This is an evaluation of this book handed down from generation to generation, from which we can also see its position in history. It is the oldest and profound classic in China. It is all-encompassing, and it also has a forecast of future development. The earliest geomantic omen evolved from this book.
Qingnangjing:
Among geomantic omen, geomantic omen is the most important. For example, choosing a good geomantic treasure place needs to be found by geomantic means, and Qingnangjing is the most authoritative first classic in China history, and it is a must-see for studying geomantic omen. Some ancient celebrities have also created many classic Feng Shui books based on this book.
Shake the Dragon Sutra:
This book is also a vein of Feng Shui and an authoritative classic of Feng Shui topography. Also known as the most extreme representative of ancient surveying and mapping in China. Many ancient emperors discovered geomantic omen and chose Long Mai accordingly.
Buried scripture:
"Buried Scriptures" is a wonderful work of China's ancient magical figures, and it is also a master of China's geomantic culture. Its author, Guo Pu, is also a respected figure in the field of geomantic omen in later generations, and is regarded as the originator of geomantic omen in China after the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Funeral classics, from Yin and Yang to Five Elements, are a precedent in the history of Feng Shui and the first of all classics.
True geography:
Yang Junsong and others. The first volume is a collection of Yang Zhai Classics and annotations, such as Huangdi House Classics and Ten Books of Yang Zhai. Zhong Juan is a Yin Zhai Jing, which describes and annotates the theories preserved by Feng Shui masters in previous dynasties. The second volume is the movements against Feng Shui in past dynasties, such as the debates and answers of Wang Chong, Ji Kang and Hu Han.
Five strategies of geography:
The Five Tactics of Geography was written in Qianlong and Bingwu years of Qing Dynasty. The author is Zhao Yucai, and his name is Jiu Feng. At that time, the author compiled "Five Tactics of Geography" to change the situation of "mud and sand are mixed, arowana and fish are mixed" in Feng Shui, hoping to be concise and close to the words, so that geographical Feng Shui scholars can understand it as soon as they read it, thus achieving the purpose of being easy to understand.
About development:
On Heng, written by Cai Yuan in Song Dynasty, expounded the theoretical essence of Feng Shui from a dialectical point of view. Only those who have a certain foundation in geomantic omen can feel comprehensive in content and profound in thought, so as to be comprehensive, upright and subtle. This book can be called the "Heart Sutra" of Feng Shui theory.
"Burial method inverted staff":
Burying with an Inverted Staff, written by Yang Junsong in Tang Dynasty. The book consists of six chapters, namely, recognizing Tai Chi, dividing it into two devices, seeking four images, taking eight diagrams, knocking down the staff, and burying the sand.
Urges officials to:
Volume II [General Edition] of Urging Officials is a book with four chapters: dragon, cave, sand and water, and each chapter is a song. The dragon is divided into yin and yang with 24 mountains, with earthquake, Geng Xu and Hai as three auspicious signs, and ten days, Xin, Gen, C, Dui and Ding as six signs, which means that its transformation is subject to good or bad luck. Xu Shi, a geographer in the Ming Dynasty, can note: "If the star wall is expensive, the beauty lies in' urging officials'.
