Benefits of five-color soil
Geomantic omen pays attention to soil, mainly from the perspective of pulse, and good pulse is conducive to the preservation of the body. Among the five-color soils, red soil and loess are the best, followed by purple soil and clay, and black soil is unlucky. Black Dragon Pool has five-color soil, mainly red, yellow and white, which is suitable for preserving bones because of its little organic matter. When digging a hole in the base, yellow is a positive color, bright red yellow means auspiciousness, and the five-color betel nut pattern means auspiciousness. Where there are real holes, there must be real soil. In other words, where there is living soil, there is a place where the atmosphere condenses.
Five-colored soil is the most striking and surprising, and people want to find out the story behind it. The so-called five-color soil refers to the soil with five colors of green, red, white, black and yellow. Five-color soil symbolizes our vast greater China, and in the east of the social altar is green soil, representing the eastern sea; The west is white mud, representing the white sand of the west; Red soil in the south means red soil in the south; The north is black soil, symbolizing the black land in the north; The loess in the middle is the meaning of the Loess Plateau.
There is another saying about the distribution of colored soil in Guotan. Some people think that yellow symbolizes the Yellow Emperor in the middle, who rules the world with the help of the land god who holds the rope and is in charge of all directions. Green, the symbol of Tai Hao in the East, is assisted by the wooden god in charge of spring with a compass; Red, symbolizing Emperor Yandi of Nandi, is assisted by Vulcan, who is in charge of summer with a balance beam. White is the symbol of West Shao Hao, assisted by the golden god in charge of autumn with a ruler; Black, symbolizing Zhuan Xu in the north, is assisted by the water god who is in charge of winter, and has scales. Loess is in the middle, because the supreme ruler Huangdi is in the core. East, west, north and south are blue, white, red and black in turn, that is, the emperor is assisted by a ruler on all sides.
Yellow, the symbol of the Yellow Emperor in the middle, rules the world because it is assisted by the land god who is in charge of the four directions and holds a rope in his hand.
In the East, green is the symbol of Tai Hao, which is assisted by a wooden god who holds a compass and is in charge of spring.
Red, symbolizing Emperor Yandi of Nandi, is assisted by Vulcan, who is in charge of summer with a balance beam.
White is the symbol of the west, assisted by the golden god who is in charge of autumn.
Black, symbolizing Zhuan Xu in the north, is assisted by the water god who is in charge of winter, and has scales.
Loess is in the middle, because the supreme ruler Huangdi is in the core. East, west, north and south are blue, white, red and black in turn, that is, the emperor is assisted by a ruler on all sides. This arrangement is based on the Taoist theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements: the five-colored soil on the altar symbolizes the land of the whole country, that is, the land of the whole world is not king.
The dragon is in the east, the suzaku is in the south, the white tiger is in the west, the Xuanwu is in the north, and the God of the Central Committee is in the middle.
