Geography of Yin and Yang comes from the Book of Yin and Yang in Tang Dynasty, which refers to the theory of Yin and Yang, five elements and harmony. Yin and Yang studies disappeared from China after the Tang Dynasty. Ancient people found that the ground and groundwater in different areas had different compositions, and the water with specific composition nourished the local soil for a long time. When the mineral composition of soil reaches a special proportion, it will form an environment that is extremely suitable for the survival of animals and plants. This special soil was originally called Longsha. Ancient people even used this soil as medicine to treat diseases. Through practice, the ancients found that this special soil was extremely nourishing the growth of animals and plants, so they thought it could bring people wealth and other good luck, which triggered the ancients to look for areas with longsha according to some topography and animal and plant characteristics. Therefore, the ancient folk discipline called "Yin-Yang Feng Shui" was introduced to China again from Japan in the Song Dynasty. However, most of the materials of Qi monism are difficult to translate and spread in Japanese ancient sayings. Therefore, after the Song Dynasty in China, Yin and Yang refer to the houses of the living and the graves of the dead, that is, Yin and Yang houses, instead of Yin and Yang and the five elements, and Qi monism "geography" refers to Feng Shui. Geography of Yin and Yang refers to the geomantic omen of Yin and Yang family, which is called modern geomantic omen for short.

Explain in detail:
"Yin and Yang" first appeared in Gong Liu in The Book of Songs. For example, in Xu Siyuan, watch its flowing spring, measure its original site and measure its sunset. There is even a saying that the scenery is just a hill, which is called Yin and Yang by later Feng Shui. Therefore, it is commonly known as Feng Shui Master as Yin Yang Master. In ancient times, in order to determine the direction and make it timely, the earliest recorded method was to measure the sun's shadow with wooden poles, that is, the standard table. The Book of Songs is a beautiful epic, which vividly describes the details of activities that Gong Liu led the Zhou people to migrate from Thailand to foreign countries in the late summer, diligently investigated the situation of mountains and rivers and the suitability of water and soil, distinguished the location of squares, planned camps, and made Zhou ancestors live and work in peace and contentment. This record is the earliest description of the beginning of Feng Shui in China. There are quite a lot of writings about Yin and Yang in later generations, such as Zhouyi? Cohesion: One yin and one yang is the Tao, and the unexplored yin and yang are gods. Both yin and yang are virtuous, but they are both rigid and flexible, writing in the body of heaven and earth and communicating the virtues of gods. "Zhouyi? Say hexagrams: go to heaven and earth and rely on numbers, and watch yin and yang change into hexagrams; It is based on the way of establishing heaven, and the sun is yin and yang; The way to stand on one's feet is soft and firm.

Liu Xi's Ming Shi: Yin, Yin, Qi, Ao Yin; Yang, Yang also, develops outside the qi.

Today, westerners think that geography is an explanation: the relationship between man and land. In ancient China, geography generally refers to modern people's geomantic omen. The geographer or geographer was the earliest official who performed geomantic functions in ancient China. Chong Wang, in general? Self-discipline: the sky is called the sun, the moon and the stars, and the earth is called the mountains and rivers. Kong Shuyun in Tang Dynasty: There are mountains and rivers in the territory, and each has its own organization, so it is called geography. Pre-Qin ancestors have realized that people's behavior should be natural and true, and people should make good use of the right time, place and people. "Zhouyi? It is easy to integrate with heaven and earth, so we can understand the way of heaven and earth, observe the culture of birds and beasts and the suitability of the land, and get close to things, so we start gossip to communicate the meaning of the gods and the feelings of all things. Feng Shui experts believe that Fuxi is the ancestor, which is the origin. In the subsequent evolution process, knowing astronomy and geography well and being good at geography all mean mastering hydrogeology and geography. In practice, the discussion of geography is more perfect. Such as the Book of Rites? Moon Order: It's not against the principles of the Jedi, and it's not disturbing people's discipline. " Pipe? The situation is solved: going against the sky and going against the tunnel, so the weather is wrong and the land does not make money.
