Surrounded by mountains and rivers, green mountains and green waters are a beautiful environment that people generally yearn for, and it is also the basic principle of a good cemetery. Feng Shui theory embodies that "the master of mountains is Ding, and the master of water is wealth", which means that choosing mountains can make future generations prosper; Choosing water can make money roll in. Stone is the bone of the mountain and water is the blood of the mountain. The benevolent Leshan, the wise happy water. 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.
2. The principle of tolerance:
I'm afraid that people have heard a lot in the cemetery. This is feng shui's summary of the terrain around the cemetery. In fact, it is surrounded by mountains and there is a spacious basin in the middle. The "cave" in geomantic omen is in this basin. The surrounding mountains are called "sand" in geomantic omen. 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. The mountain behind the cemetery is good for resisting the cold from the north in winter. The mountain facing the mountain in front is shorter than the mountain, which is like a sacrifice and 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 is shaped like a paper case, which is called a mountain in geomantic omen.
The cemetery is backed by mountains, with Qinglong Mountain on the left and Baihu Mountain on the right. Backed by the mountain, the left mountain and the right mountain form a plush chair, and the water under the mountain flows slowly like a jade belt. In front of the recent case, there was a paper case, in front of which stood a hundred officials. With such natural conditions, it can be considered as a good cemetery, where the bones of ancestors are buried, and future generations are either rich or expensive.
3, the principle of buckling and winding:
In the past, quadrangles and temples had screen walls facing the gate, and modern people pay more attention to the design of the porch when decorating. Screen walls and porches are designed according to 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.
4, the principle of open hall:
In ancient times, when someone became famous, became an official or made a fortune, people often talked about the geomantic omen of this person's ancestral grave, which was called: outstanding people and outstanding people. Feng Shui believes that Tang Ming's opening up is conducive to training talents and developing its career. Therefore, we should "go up the mountain to see the Shuikou" and "go into the cave to see Tang Ming". Tang Ming means that there must be a vast and flat place in front of the tomb. Only when Tang Ming is open and full of vitality can it have a bright future. On the contrary, cemeteries should not be located in narrow and limited valleys.
5, the principle of returning to nature:
In the current urban planning, the cemetery is getting farther and farther away from the city. Why not be closer to the city? It is convenient to pay homage to the grave. Isn't it more humane? Isn't it more modern to be wrapped in the middle of a tall building? Otherwise, the geomantic omen of Yin House is just the opposite of that of Yang House. City people advocate the integration of people and vehicles, man-machine (computer) integration, work first, efficiency first, cemetery emphasizes nature first, and harmony between man and nature.
6, the principle of headwind into the water:
The cemetery pays attention to "upper hand and water". "Into the water" refers to the direction of the wind, and "into the water" refers to the direction of the water flow.
