China folks pay attention to the research and construction of the geographical layout of architectural geomantic omen, that is, "the dragon is not as good as the white tiger holding its head high".
Usually, the left green dragon and the right white tiger represent the left and right positions, which should be aimed at south-facing building structures or natural geographical objects. The left side (east) of Zuo Qinglong refers to the south-facing building structure or natural geographical object, and the right white tiger refers to the south-facing building structure or the right side (west) of natural geographical object, representing the position of the white tiger. It is not ideal to have a white tiger without a dragon, nor is it ideal for a white tiger to be higher than a dragon. In the eyes of the ancients, the east is where the sun rises and the west is where the sun sets. Only high and low can form the natural circulation flow of things. Tigers are terrible things and respectable things. Terrible is that it will eat people and animals, respectable is because it is powerful enough to ward off evil spirits. In some ancient books, such as Ying Shao's Custom Yi Tong. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Sacrifice" said: "Draw a tiger at the door, ghosts dare not enter", "The tiger is a penis, and all animals are long. Can be frustrated and eat ghosts. " The ancients also thought that the white tiger was auspicious, if there was a saying that "virtue is a hundred birds and beasts".
There is a period of karma for the establishment of the Dragon and Tiger Monument in Xiantong Temple. In Wutai Mountain, every temple that has begun to take shape also has a king temple, where four heavenly kings live and exercise the function of guarding the temple. Kexiantong Temple is not only one of the five Zen sites in Wutai Mountain, the first of the top ten green temples, but also the largest temple in Wutai Mountain, but it breaks this example. In the fifth year of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, namely 1407, Tayuan Temple, which belonged to Dahua Rock Temple (now Xiantong Temple), was divided into another independent temple, and Tianwang Temple was included in Tayuan Temple during the division. According to the layout of the temple, Xiantong Temple also needs to build another Heavenly King Hall at the front of the temple for the four heavenly kings to guard the temple. However, due to local restrictions, Kannonji, the southernmost part of the temple, had to be changed into Shanmen Temple, so that on the one hand, people could get in and out, and on the other hand, the four heavenly kings could be molded to guard the temple. However, according to legend, as soon as the construction started, the temple caught fire immediately before it was demolished, and guanyin temple never demolished it several times in a row. What shall we do? An old monk finally figured out a way to kill two birds with one stone: change the entrance of the temple to the present place, and keep it outside with dragons and tigers so as not to disturb the four heavenly kings. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Dragon and Tiger were among the eighteen arhats. Luohan, known as "Dragon Descending" and "Khufu", was shaped in some temples, which may be related to their dedication to guarding this Buddhist temple.
There is a white tiger standing at the entrance of Xiantong Temple in Wutai Mountain, which is really rare in Buddhist temples in Han Dynasty. Is this another example of the combination of Buddhism and China traditional culture? Does this reflect the profound and subtle concept of Buddhism's "indefinite law"?
But if the left position is Qinglong position and the right position is Baihu position, what is the empty door in the middle?
Generally speaking, the middle position should be higher than the left and right position, right?
Later, I finally found the answer in the profound Buddhism: the middle position should be the dharma position!
In a sense, does the dharma body represent inheritance here? Does it represent all beings? Does it represent all the buddhas of Shifang III? Does it represent the Tathagata wisdom and virtue that all living beings should have? etc ......
In architectural geomantic omen, how to distinguish between left and right is usually Qinglong in the east, White Tiger in the west, Suzaku in the south and Xuanwu in the north. This is China's concept of Feng Shui, which began in Xia Dynasty. The geomantic environment is like a plush chair with water in front.
According to geomantic omen, left green dragon and right white tiger means that the left side of the door is green dragon or the left side of the door is green dragon. According to geomantic omen, the left green dragon and the right white tiger mean that the left side of the door is the green dragon. Stand in front of the house, facing the house, and determine the left and right. That is to say, sitting in a house facing south, standing in front of the house facing south. The left hand is the position of Qinglong, and the right hand is the position of White Tiger.
Feng Shui says what Zuo Qinglong and You Baihu think of you. First determine your position: you face south (the emperor sits north facing south), and the left hand side is East (Qinglong); On your right is West (White Tiger). In front is the south (Suzaku). Behind you is the north (Xuanwu). Your position is the center (hook Chen, Teng snake)
Please ask a friend who knows Feng Shui to help me see how high the middle of this house should be built to be good for my home. Some people say that it is better to have a white tiger than a green dragon. If we look at the model house, the tiger side is tall and big, and the dragon side is small, then we can better see whether the people living in this house are suffering from money or women. If women are alive, men will be worse. It is better to build it higher than the houses on both sides!
The so-called geomantic omen says: is it only the direction of entering the door or the left and right of going out? From the traditional residential feng shui in China, the entrance direction should be set around, but it is not the left dragon and the right white tiger, but the east dragon and the west white tiger, and the south rosefinch and the north Xuanwu. No matter what the orientation of your house is, the beasts corresponding to the four directions are the same, so before building a house, you must determine the orientation and deflection angle (generally, the house facing north and south is 5 degrees east and west). Now all buildings are built. The orientation of the house is not determined by your will, but you also need to determine the orientation of your home. Generally, the orientation of a building's home is determined according to the porch (commonly known as the porch). It is not convenient to introduce the specific determination method here, but your life is best consistent with the house in the living room, and it is good to complement each other.
In geomantic omen, what does it mean that the white tiger is left in front of the dragon and the right is behind the basalt? China's four ancient beasts (when people sit south facing north, that is, the Forbidden City sits on the ground): East (left) Qinglong, which is related to the east and wood, is commonly known as "Zuo Qinglong" on the left side of the building; The right white tiger is related to the west and gold, but it is not as high as the east, not as high as the east; Former Suzaku, with south and fire, is cheerful or low in Tang Mingyi; The post-basalt is relatively high, symbolizing the power of the north and water.
Feng Shui said that the left dragon and the right white tiger look at the left dragon and the right white tiger, and the former Suzaku is behind Xuanwu. Determine your position and you can separate.
Generally speaking, in home geomantic omen, what is said is left green dragon and right white tiger. Does this mean that people are standing inside the house or outside the door? People are in the house, facing outwards.
How to treat the house feng shui left Qinglong right white tiger? Most of the ancient houses were built at noon in Zi Shan (sitting north facing south), so their backs were to the gate, left Qinglong (east), right White Tiger (west), front Suzaku (south) and back Xuanwu (north). Later, the house sat in other directions, and some scholars did not change it, but also used the left Qinglong right white tiger with its back to the gate to distinguish it. Up to now, I thought I had to decide the blue dragon and white tiger, but I ignored the direction. Now some scholars are also proposing that we should always look east and west, instead of dividing them by left and right houses.
