1. Introductory books on basic theories. I think Chen Yuan's "Introduction to Four Pillars of Forecasting" and "Introduction to Zhouyi Forecasting" are the most accessible and easy to understand. After getting started, you should focus on reading "Ditian Marrow", "Ziping Zhenchuan", "Qingtong Baojian" and "Divination Zhengzong". "Yi Yin" and other ancient books. Develop basic knowledge of Yin Yang and Five Elements.
2. In terms of situation: In modern times, there is "Yang Zeng's Geographer's Passion of Heart Methods and Quick Tips" to read, but the classics of Guo Pu and Yang Gong are still the main ones: "The Book of Burial" and "The Book of Suspicious Dragons" "Shaking the Dragon Scripture" is a must-read book.
3. Compass: "Detailed Explanation of the Forty-nine Levels of the Chinese Compass" (written by Li Dingxin)
4. Regulating Qi: There are many schools of regulating Qi, and classic books should be the main ones. There are "Preface to Qingnang", "Preface to Tianyu Sutra", "Tianyu Sutra", "Jiguan Chapter" and "Qingnang Aoyu".
Other books on regulating qi depend on personal preferences. I think that in the beginner stage, it is not advisable to learn too confusingly and should focus on books from one school.
5. In terms of choosing auspiciousness: "Jiang Gong's Secret of Choosing auspiciousness", "Xiang Ji Tongshu", "Shixian Tongshu", etc.
Song Shaoguang’s book is not worth reading. Zhong Yiming's book is correspondingly more comprehensive, but it only describes Shen's Xuankong theory more clearly. The description of other schools of theory is still half-baked. Zhong Ze is not yet familiar with Yang Gong’s Feng Shui technique in southern Gansu Province.
There are a lot of books on Feng Shui. When studying, you must adhere to the principle of combining theory and practice. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and you must practice and verify while learning.
Of course, the ideal shortcut to learning is to learn skills from a teacher, which can avoid a lot of detours.
