Do you have any different views on the factions of Feng Shui?

China has a long cultural history, so does the geomantic omen in China. In the course of its development, Feng Shui has gradually formed a situational school and a rational style.

Fengshui school

Situational school

The situation faction is also called Jiangxi faction and Luantou faction. Include house modeling method and house interior modeling method. The method of house appearance refers to the configuration of general mountains and rivers outside the house, and how there are water, mountains, roads, pits and pools. The interior modeling law of the house mainly considers the interior modeling of the house and the details inside and outside the house, such as railings, patios, drainage and so on. It is based on Ten Books of Yangzhai and Luban Classic, so it is also called Luban Method. Later generations gradually had more systematic theories and steps, such as dragon, cave, sand, water and direction (five geographical techniques). The steps are to find dragons, check sand, watch water and point acupuncture. In fact, the natural environment elements are divided into four categories: dragon, cave, sand and water, and the situation of these four categories is investigated. The Housing Law promoted the Qing Wu Jing as the earliest classic work. The earliest work of the internal form and method of the house is the topography of the palace in Han Dynasty. In the later period, the internal form of the house is mostly expressed in graphic form. Form is the foundation and essence of Feng Shui. Emphasize the influence of mountain water, mountain water and villa form on people. The situation faction is mainly divided into the following factions:

1, Yang Gongpai

Yang Gong School is the representative of the situation school, and it is a Feng Shui school that is carried forward and passed down from generation to generation on the basis of the theoretical experience of others. Its core theory is "dragon, sand, water, direction and point", and the so-called dragon-seeking, sand-stopping, water-watching, point-by-point and point-standing. This school once prevailed in China, and it was most suitable for people to find a cave and set up the foundation of a house in Pingyang, Shan Ye. Yang Junsong, the founder of Taoism, was revered as Yang Gong by later generations because of his profound Taoism and countless help to the poor. The saying that "Yang Gong saved a spoonful of water" was widely spread all over the world. He is the author of Tianyu Jing, Shake the Dragon Jing, Twelve Guas of Burial Method, Qingnangao Yu and so on.

2. Sanhe School

Sanhesheng School is a branch of Yang Feng Shui. Compared with the orthodox Yang Feng Shui, it has four unique features: first, it discusses the direction of the dragon and the mountain based on the site of twenty-four mountains and five elements; Secondly, the problem of sand matching is discussed with the help of Twenty-four Mountains of Man Pan and Twenty-eight Lodges. Thirdly, it discusses the water intake problem of Needle of Twenty-four Mountains in Tianpan. Fourthly, the good or ill luck of Wangmu is decided by Shuang Shan's five-element needle in Tianpan. The so-called "three-in-one" is: three-in-one water bureau, three-in-one fire bureau, three-in-one gold bureau and three-in-one wood bureau. In addition, the faction also divided the orientation of the Twenty-four Mountains into twelve parts: longevity, bathing, crown belt, temporary official, emperor glory, decline, illness, death, tomb, extinction, fetus and support. , in order to distinguish the quality of landscape (mainly water).

3. Jinsuo Yuguan School

The word "golden lock and jade pass" is quite mysterious. As the name implies, it means to put away the golden lock and jade box, which shows that this book is rare and rare. Its theory originated from natural drawings and acquired calligraphy, emphasizing that nature is the body and the day after tomorrow is the use. Successive ventilation, combined with gossip to calculate the good and bad luck of Yin and Yang, truly achieved that Yin and Yang are just rivers and Luo, and cooperation cannot be separated from gossip. Guan Yu is famous for his simplicity and practicality, and his accuracy in judging things exceeds that of any Feng Shui sect. Golden Lock Jade Pass is also called Crossing Yin and Yang Pass. As long as you master this method, you can break the good or ill luck of the Yin and Yang family at a glance without using a compass. Jin Suo Yu Guan is also a situational school in essence, but it absorbs some advantages of rational style.

4. gossip school

The Eight Diagrams School is mainly based on the theory of "One Eight Diagrams and Two Eight Diagrams" and is constrained by the five elements, spatial orientation and personnel application.

Rational style

Rationalism is also called Min School, Rationalism School and Ancestral Temple School. It is mainly guided by regulating qi, and it also has the principles of five elements, yin and yang, eight diagrams, nine planets's good and bad luck, and the orientation of twenty-four mountains, etc., to investigate the relationship between human body and geography and climate in time and space. This method recommends Qingnangjing and Zhaijing as the earliest classic works. Li Fa paid special attention to the compass when inspecting various mountains and rivers, and also used the compass grid to determine the orientation of the house. According to the principle of Zhouyi, he took Eight Diagrams, Twelve Branches, Stars and Five as the four outlines of his theory. There are roughly the following factions:

1, Sanyuan School

The school coordinates the use of time (three yuan and nine innings) and space (luantou orientation), in which 64 hexagrams are used to distinguish between good and bad mountains and rivers, and some 24 hexagrams are used to distinguish between good and bad mountains and rivers.

2. Kong Xuan School

Metaphysics means "unity" and metaphysics means "space". Geomantic omen in Kong Xuan generally refers to the discussion of geomantic omen of Yin and Yang families by using the equations of time, space and energy exchange according to the figures of Yin and Yang, river map, Luoshu, innate gossip, acquired gossip, five elements and one to nine planets. Kong Xuan has a long history of geomantic omen, and many masters have come forth in generations. Jiang Dahong, Wen Mingyuan, Wang Tingzhi, the popular Shen Shi study, is one of them, and its influence is all the rage. Metaphysics is a typical rational style, but it still emphasizes the combination of rational qi and situation in concrete application, which is a very mature knowledge. There are three main points in Kong Xuan's geomantic omen: first, to set up caves for dragons; second, to set off flying stars; and third, to gather mountains to ward off evil spirits.

3. Eight schools

The geomantic omen of Eight Houses, also known as Eight Houses, Yang House School and Eight Houses Mirror, was created by astronomers and monks in the Tang Dynasty. It is a rational style to match eight houses with gossip and emphasize the coordination of home life. According to the principle of "eight diagrams", the orientation of residence is divided into eight residences, and then the relationship between "residence" and "master of fate" is deduced in a way of "big travel year". Dongsi lives in Dongsi Courtyard and Xisi lives in Xisi Courtyard. This is the principle of the Eight Courtyards School. Ba Zhai School is profound and mysterious, but few people really understand its true story and grasp its essence. The current Eight Houses School started with some Feng Shui painters in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then spread to the mainland. The public view is that this school is easy to learn, but the effect is not obvious, so many people in the industry do not agree.

4. Nine Planets School

The orientation of the Twenty-four Mountains is divided into Yin and Yang, nine planets (greedy wolf, giant gate, Lucun, Wen Qu, Lian Zhen, Wu Qu, Zuo Fu, Youbi) and five elements (gold, wood, water, fire and earth) to distinguish the good and bad of the mountains and rivers;

5. Qimen Sect

Taoist magic geomantic layout.

6. There are various small schools, such as "Purple Yuan Fei Bai", "Three Essentials in Yangzhai" and "Liu Family in Yangzhai". Li Fa is based on Zhouyi.

In addition to formalism and rational style, there are geomantic omen such as numerology (numerology geomantic omen emphasizes that personal numerology shall prevail, and introduces that the Lord likes to avoid God. Pay attention to find the corresponding location when making specific adjustments, and then enlarge or restrict the relative space of the house to achieve the purpose of changing traffic. ), spiritualism, psychics, witchcraft, etc. , but the influence is far less than that of the formal school and the rational school. In fact, the boundaries between different schools of Feng Shui are not so clear. Many schools have their own advantages and disadvantages. Feng shui masters should study critically, not blindly stick to the rules, which violates the original meaning of Yi-ology.

Summary of feng shui factions

Strictly speaking, the Feng Shui school is a situational school and a rational school. Their theories also permeate and blend with each other, which means that all laws belong to sects. Therefore, learning Feng Shui should be eclectic and absorb the essence of the two factions. It is necessary to master rational style and absorb the essence of situational school. However, because there are many schools of geomantic omen, which are useful and useless, learners must discard the false and retain the true, take the rough and extract the fine, and don't go into the misunderstanding of geomantic omen.

Feng shui can be divided into yin house and yang house. Yin Zhai and Yang Zhai have the same principle, and their fortune and influence are equally important, only in the speed of effect. Yin House dominates quietness, but the effect is slow and long-term, while Yang House takes the initiative and the effect is quick and short-lived. The influence of yin house on people is indirect, far-reaching and slow, while the influence of yang house on people is so direct, rapid and effective. Therefore, modern people pay more attention to Yang Zhai Feng Shui than Yin Zhai Feng Shui.

Fengshui theory has been circulated for thousands of years, and there is still no complete and unified theory today. Early geomantic omen was dictated by profound theories, and the structure of ancient and modern houses changed greatly, so some traditional geomantic omen theories have been lost, and some have been out of touch with the times and out of date. As far as rational style is concerned, the mainland takes the door as the direction, Hongkong takes the door as the direction, and Taiwan Province Province takes the door as the direction and the road as the direction.

But feng shui is not omnipotent, otherwise all Mr. Feng Shui with real talent and practical learning will become the richest man in the world. The process of life experience can be compared to calculus, and the score covers the sum of Feng Shui (home, work or business environment), fate, cultivation and hard work. When everything is positive, congratulations-smooth sailing and all your wishes come true; There are positive and negative times, good and bad, not ideal; If everything is negative, it's time for you to make progress and work hard, and pray for the blessing of God and Buddha.

The application of geomantic omen can only add icing on the cake, or send charcoal in the snow, which is extremely difficult to bring back to life. Good feng shui only provides a good environment. If you don't work hard, you will waste good feng shui. Nothing in this world is made out of nothing. In this materialistic world, we should correctly view the objective function of Feng Shui. Don't be misled by excessive market boasting and cross-big advertisements.
