Fashion is the back of the mountain, and many people like the feng shui in front of the mountain. I heard that Feng Shui is better, but the back mountain is a little off.
During my research in Jinan, I often wondered why Jinan has produced so many talents with both civil and military skills since ancient times. The situation of mountains and rivers in a place is closely related to the cultivation of indigenous temperament. Because of different regions, there are great differences in personality between the north and the south. Northerners are generous and sincere, while southerners are cautious and pay more attention to emotional appeal. However, both personalities of Jinan people are taken into account. Where is the mystery? Let's look for the answer from the reasons of geographical feng shui.
Geographically, Jinan is located at the junction of low mountains and hills in central and southern Shandong and alluvial plains in northwest Shandong, with high terrain in the south and low terrain in the north. The terrain is complex and diverse, which can be roughly divided into three zones; The Yellow River belt in the north, the piedmont plain belt in the middle and the hilly and mountainous belt in the south. There are many rivers in Jinan, mainly the Yellow River and Xiaoqing River. There are also rivers such as Dasha River and Yufu River in the north and south. Lakes include Daming Lake and Baiyun Lake.
The name of Jinan comes from Jinan County established in the Western Han Dynasty, which means "South of Water". Since Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jinan Prefecture has been the seat of Shandong Province.
This landscape situation helps to cultivate people's heroism and atmosphere, and also nourishes gentle humanity.
In addition, Jinan has a history of more than 4,000 years and is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization. Shun, the leader of a primitive tribe in China, was born and lived in Jinan (about 22nd century BC). Shun used to farm in Lishan, which is now Qianfo Mountain. Baotu Spring has a harmonious temple (built about 2000 years ago) and three sacred palaces dedicated to Yao, Shun and Yu. The moat through which the spring water flows is the Eying River in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The river flows eastward, passing through the southern end of Jing Shun Street, and Jing Shun is in the north. If you look further northeast, you can point to the city cliff-Longshan cultural site, which also reminds people of pottery expert Dashun.
Now Jinan, based on Licheng County, has a history of more than 2,600 years. Culturally, it is the intersection of Qi culture based on Weifang, Qingzhou, Linzi and Zhoucun and Lu culture based on Qufu and Taishan, which has some characteristics of Qilu culture. Therefore, Jinan people who live in such a strong cultural atmosphere have the blood of Confucian culture in their veins.
Based on this, it is not surprising that many famous people in the history of China have been born in Jinan since ancient times, such as Bian Que, the founder of traditional Chinese medicine, Zou Yan, the founder of Yin and Yang, and the five elements, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, the most famous person in the Tang Dynasty, Li Qingzhao, Xin Qiji, Zhang and Li Kaixian, the leading figures of the "last seven sons" in Ming Dynasty literature, and Yu, a politician and scholar in Ming Dynasty. In addition, outstanding writers and scholars such as Cao Cao, Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Ceng Gong, Yuan Haowen, Zhao Mengfu, Wang Shizhen, Pu Songling, Lao She, Ji Xianlin, Ren, Ouyang, etc. all lived, traveled or studied in Jinan, so they have the reputation of "many celebrities in Jinan".
Modern celebrities include Luo Gan, former member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau, Zhou Yongnian, founder of China Public Library, Wei Xiang, the famous architect, Shen Li, the first female TV host in China, Han Meilin, a calligrapher, an artist, a poet, singer, writer, Zhang Yueran and Gong Li, a movie star.
There must be geomantic images in strange mountains and strange waters, which fascinates researchers. It is said that Kang Youwei should observe Yin and Yang Feng Shui every time he goes to a mountain in his later years. He believes that the terrain is endowed by life and is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. His feng shui comments on Jinan made me memorable.
1June, 923, Kang Youwei boarded the Qianfo Mountain in Jinan, overlooking the whole city by the railing, pointing to the city and saying, "Although this city is tall and majestic, it lives in a corner of the mountain, with Qianfo Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north, which is the opposite of the bow. Yin and Yang are both wrong and flowing, and the urban development is limited by the terrain, so the urban population is not prosperous!"
Kang Youwei had a rest and walked around the mountain again. He inadvertently raised his eyes and suddenly became one of the highlights. At present, the Zhonghua Mountain rising in Ran Ran is lush and carefree. It's really a lonely peak, the cliff remains the same, and the scenery is infinitely beautiful! He believes that from such a mountain, a blueprint for the future of Jinan city can be planned.
Later, Kang Youwei climbed to the top of Qianfo Mountain, raised his binoculars and looked around. In front of us is a magnificent landscape painting: the Yellow River in the distance, like a golden ribbon, gallops among the mountains; Woniu Mountain, Huabuzhan Mountain, Queshan Mountain, Fenghuang Mountain, Biaoshan Mountain, Yaoshan Mountain, North Maanshan, Sushan Mountain, Kuangshan Mountain and Jiufeng Mountain are steep and misty, and they are world-famous "nine-point smoke". Facing the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland, Kang Youwei has increased his ambition to build the Chinese nation into a brilliant one.
A few days later, Kang Youwei boarded the Chinatown Mountain again and personally surveyed its terrain. He climbed the steep mountain with difficulty, looked around and compared where it was easiest to communicate with Jinan. This old man, who has traveled all over four continents, 365,438+0 countries, 60 Wan Li Road and the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland, has never been so concerned about China and so keenly observed. He thinks that the mountain stands tall and upright, which is the performance of the northern branch of Mount Tai. Like an island standing on the sea, it is the most suitable place to live.
Kang Youwei recorded the harvest of his mountain tour in his notebook. After returning home, he compared it with the famous mountains he had been to in his life and expressed his idea of developing a new Jinan: "However, the beauty of mountains and rivers is not as good as that of China, and he does not attach importance to mountains. It is desirable to move the metropolis to China, but there is no need to move it now, but it is especially beautiful to open a new Jinan ... "He put forward a plan to build a new Jinan from the aspects of transportation, housing, city appearance, schools and parks, and thought that" in ten years, the new Jinan will be a metropolis of China ".
The above allusions are nothing more than footnotes to the statement that Jinan is the land of the wind, and at the same time warn feng shui practitioners to have a style of study of in-depth investigation and research. Looking at the mountains and peaks, Feng Shui has various aspects and different interpretations. Don't get off the bus and take a quick look, and then make nonsense about the feng shui situation in a place or the feng shui works made by others.
During my stay in Jinan, I was deeply impressed by Daming Lake and Baotu Spring in this city. It has created a feng shui pattern in which there is water in Jinan, cities in the mountains, cities and mountains blend together, mountains and rivers are integrated, and heaven and earth are harmonious. Daming Lake used to be a big lake with blue waves and green mountains, with great momentum. In this vast water area, the four seasons present different scenery. Not far from here is Baotu Spring, which ranks first among the "72 springs" in Jinan and is known as "the first spring in the world". Chinese and foreign tourists come to see the surging spring water as soon as they enter the park. According to the examination, the so-called "Baotu Spring", that is, the meaning of jumping and rushing, reflects the characteristics of the third hole of Baotu Spring, which gushes endlessly. Li Daoyuan in the Northern Wei Dynasty wrote in the Notes on Water Classics: "Spring is blooming, and water is surging like a wheel." "The three caves are surging, the snow waves are several feet high, and the sound is like hidden thunder."
Baotu Spring is the focus of Feng Shui in Jinan. Without it, Jinan would not be so agile. It is also a cultural card of Jinan, so it injects too many literati feelings.
Yuan Haowen, a poet in Jin Dynasty, described it as "looking at the Jade Pagoda from the waves", and Zhao Mengfu, a famous painter and poet in Yuan Dynasty, poured out a white jade pot for the flat ground. What did the poet in Qing Dynasty describe it as "the beads flying upside down"? The Travel Notes of Lao Can by Liu E in Qing Dynasty contained: "Three springs rose from the bottom of the pool to two or three feet above the water", Licheng County annals. Pu Songling, a famous writer, thinks Baotu Spring is "the first spring in the world, and Qimen Resort is unparalleled".
Jinan has good mountains and waters, and the children have a soft personality and elegant temperament. Shandong people are bold and heroic, and they also have many delicate sentiments and the demeanor of Kunshi.
