In ancient times, astronomers divided the stars in the sky into seven star regions. What is the Seven Star District? Three yuan? And then what? Four elephants? . ? Three yuan? There are Ziwei Garden, Taiwei Garden and Tianshi Garden, which respectively symbolize the imperial palace, administrative institutions and bustling markets. They are arranged in a triangle around Polaris, and they are distributed on the periphery? Four elephants? . The four elephants are four groups of stars, each with seven and twenty-eight stars. In spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively. Elephant with spirit beast, with tolerance.
Spring represents the revival of all things and the vitality of spring, so Qinglong represents the East. Because of the hot weather in summer, many birds are represented by Suzaku (a burning bird) and keep company with the south.
In ancient times, the death penalty was mostly executed after autumn, so autumn was full of cold. In autumn, everything withers, flowers turn into mud, and there is endless loneliness. Therefore, the white tiger conforms to the breath of autumn and matches with the west.
In winter, animals hibernate, and everything hides and disappears. Xuanwu is actually a black turtle snake, black convergence, turtle has a collection image, so it is suitable for winter, with the north.
So the four elephants can tell the direction, such as? Weeds and flowers by Suzaku Bridge? Needless to say, Suzaku Bridge must be in the south. ? Xuanwu gate mutiny? This Xuanwu Gate is the North Gate.
After the rise of Taoism, Taoist alchemy was combined with Yin and Yang and the five elements, and Yin and Yang were harmonized, which was called Daoben. There are dragons in the east, white tigers in the west, Suzaku in the south, Xuanwu in the north and Huanglong in the middle, which correspond to Jin Mu one by one.
Qinglong is wood, white tiger is gold, Suzaku is fire, Xuanwu is water, and the central Huanglong is earth. Taoism says that yin and yang have two organs, and four images are gossip. Using them to measure geomantic omen and deduce fortune, geomantic omen is derived.
Because the four images are opposite to the stars and represent the four gods, they are widely used in Feng Shui. Geomantic omen means that the mountains or buildings in front, back, left and right of the house are Zuo Qinglong, You Baihu, Qian Suzaku and Hou Xuanwu. If a house is to flourish, it must be surrounded by mountains, hills, buildings, rivers and trees, which means support, which is equivalent to the protection of the gods.
Moreover, not only buildings, but also seats. Most of the seats in the office are set against the wall, with bookshelves on the left and coffee tables on the right, which is the usage of this sentence. In traditional geomantic omen, the dragon represents men and career, the white tiger represents women and fortune, and the left dragon is right, so when men and women walk together, they form the habit of men being left and women being right.
So this sentence is not only respected by the ancients, but also valued by many people until now. With the spread of feng shui, and because this sentence is catchy, everyone also remembers this sentence? Zuo Qinglong, You Baihu, Qian Suzaku, Hou Xuanwu. ? But this sentence seems simple, but in fact it means four elephants, four spirits and four seasons. You need to ponder it carefully to know its essence.
