I also want to know the geomantic omen of rural houses.
The beauty of the Hanging Temple lies in its location. As we know, no matter what kind of Feng Shui genre, as far as Feng Shui Luan Tou is concerned, it emphasizes the accumulation of wind and qi, and the shapes of pot bottom, upturned palm and cornucopia are all valued by Feng Shui masters. Hanging Temple sits west to east, in a small basin on the cliff of the deep mountain canyon, facing Hunhe River.
The cliff mountain where the Hanging Temple is located is like a hanging pot with a depression in the middle, and the Hanging Temple is just built at the bottom of the pot. The location of this "cave" makes it impossible for strong winds outside the Great Wall to reach the Hanging Temple. The protruding part of the cliff top is like an umbrella, which not only blocks the scorching sun, but also protects the ancient temple from the impact of rain and falling rocks.
The river under the cliff is an important source of "life" of the Hanging Temple, and the life above moistens the Hanging Temple, so that the temple will not dry up because of wind and rain; At the same time, because it is built in the air (more than 50 meters above the ground), when the Hunhe River under the cliff overflows, it will be protected from being submerged. According to records, in summer, only three hours of sunlight shines on the hanging temple every day. No wonder it still clings to the cliff like a gecko after thousands of years of wind and rain and even earthquakes.
The position of the bottom of the pot in the hanging temple in the air has made the geomantic "geographical position" trend; After a thousand years, the first contribution should be attributed to site selection.
The reason why the Hanging Temple can't survive for thousands of years is because the "iron pole" is connected with the "pulse" and takes advantage of the situation. Feng Shui "Luan Tou" pays attention to the ins and outs. Long Mai's land can lead to long-term prosperity. Terrain and pattern without context, like isolated islands and mountains, cannot be built. If the hanging temple is just hanging at the bottom of the pot in the air and is not connected with the mountain, it is impossible to build it, not to mention it will last for thousands of years. Hanging Temple is connected with Long Mai, which uses iron poles, which are pure wooden beams inserted on the cliff.
Archaeologists found that beams were buried under the pavilions and plank roads of all hanging temples. These Woods with a diameter of about 50 cm seem to grow out of rocks. The exposed parts of these beams are about 1 m, and most of them are hidden in cliffs.
All beams are soaked in tung oil to prevent corrosion and insects. One end inserted into the stone hole is wedge-shaped. When it is driven into the hole, the wedge will open the beam and firmly clamp it on the stone wall, similar to today's expansion bolt. The deeper it is driven, the tighter it is fixed, and its "venous connection" can be seamless. There are 27 beams ("iron columns") in the Hanging Temple, which are covered with wooden boards and used to build plank roads. Because of the connection of beams, the whole pavilion is integrated with buildings, mountains and cliffs, and 465,438+0 halls stand upright on it, which will last for thousands of years and become a great architectural miracle in the world.
Of course, in order to share the burden of the beam, another 22 vertical members were designed. The stumps under the plank road can shake, as if there is no support. However, when people walk on the plank road, the stumps will press on the cliff stones and connect with the "veins", thus eliminating the weight between mountains, thus maintaining the stability of ancient temple buildings. Sanguan Temple, the tallest building in the Hanging Temple, is the center of the weight of the ancient temple because pilgrims are concentrated here. The vertical wood under it, with the upper end supporting the beam and the lower end firmly pressing on the rock, is double "safe", which ensures the suspension of the pavilion and the safe passage of pedestrians in the corridor.
The reason why the Hanging Temple will last for thousands of years lies in the "harmony between people". Hangkong Temple is the only ancient temple in China that has been "three religions in one" for thousands of years. On the highest floor at the northern end of the temple, there are three great halls, the Buddha of Sakyamuni and the three major sects of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism in China. Laozi and Confucius built a temple.
Since ancient times, in order to win the admiration of the people, various sects have held their own opinions and argued endlessly, so most temples in the world are separated, but the "three religions in one" of the hanging temple is rare. Therefore, the subjects of the ruling and opposition parties in the past dynasties took care of them. Royal Feng Shui pays attention to "symmetrical balance" in form and "moderation" and "harmony" in interpersonal relationship. The fact that the Hanging Temple will not fall for thousands of years proves the correctness of this theory.
