What do you mean by "taking water first, hiding wind second"

The word "Feng Shui" was first put forward by Guo Pu's Funeral Book, and the concept of Feng Shui was introduced earlier, that is, "the methods and measures adopted by the ancients to keep life together (that is, architecture) were called" Feng Shui ".

The law of feng shui, "getting water is the top, hiding the wind is the bottom."

Why "get the best water"?

As we all know, according to Guo Pu, the internal opposite of anger is the element. Without water, there would be no biochemical reaction, and only inert elements would make life impossible. The boundary of the earth will be as lifeless as the moon. Or like a vacuum, even the elements are silent. So water comes first, which is one of them.

To bring life together, we must first struggle and unify its internal opposition. The Book of Burial tells us, "The story ends only after crossing the water." The dragon is a mountain. It is the expression of the development and movement of the inner opposite of life underground and underground (surface). If you want to stop anger, you must cross the water to stop it. If water is not the best, it is impossible to get angry. This is the second part of "getting the best water".

Guo Pu's Burial Book records that "the soil is thick and the water is deep, and the grass is lush and lush", "the mountains return with water, and the mountains are imprisoned with water", "the water springs and gravel are haunted houses" and "the potential is like running water, and everyone is a ghost", all of which illustrate the importance of "getting water is the best"

Why do you say "hiding the wind is second"?

There is a simple reason. The so-called "hiding the wind" is to make people angry. Wind is the flow of air, that is, it makes life just air. It is also true that "Qi can only dissipate anger" in the Book of Burial. In order to keep anger together, we must take appropriate measures (buildings) to keep out the wind.

What needs to be explained again is that "hiding the wind" is not "blocking the wind". Wind is air, and air is everywhere. Even if high walls and barriers are built, it is impossible to stop the air flow. So the wind can only be "closed" and cannot be avoided.

"The Book of Burial" says that "the Eight Winds are hidden outside, but kept secret inside", which means to hide the wind in all directions, that is, not to breathe air. Inside, you should secretly gather five kinds of anger. In this way, it is what the ancients said, "gather but not disperse, so that they can stick together."

"Burial Book" said that "the external gas gathers the internal gas, and the water passes through it, so the cause and effect are stopped", and Ganzhou Yang said that "the dragon is exhausted (gathered). It was the ancients who "stopped" Feng Shui. Therefore, the method of geomantic omen is "getting water is the top, hiding the wind is the bottom." "
