Rich and prosperous, the financial center of the ancient capital of the four dynasties
As we all know, Beijing's "Financial Street" is a treasure trove of geomantic omen.
It was completed in August 1993 and will be completed in 2005.
This is a street that is not too long. It has national bank headquarters such as China People's Bank Head Office, China Industrial and Commercial Bank Head Office, China People's Construction Bank Head Office, China Bank Head Office, Agricultural Development Bank Head Office, and a large number of well-known financial and insurance securities units and telecom enterprises such as China Securities Regulatory Commission, China Insurance Regulatory Commission, China Insurance Group, China Telecom, China Mobile and China Netcom. More than 200 domestic and foreign financial and non-financial institutions, such as Malaysia Hong Leong Group and other famous foreign banking institutions, have also settled here-which means total assets 13 trillion yuan and daily capital flow 10 billion yuan.
It is no accident that "Financial Street" can become "China's Wall Street".
Beijing is the ancient capital of the four dynasties. From the beginning of construction, it was designed and built according to Yin-Yang, Five Elements and Four Diagrams: West Geng Xin gold, gold for leather, leather for change, gold for change and gold for wealth; Metal lung, lung full of pulse, the main gas breathing, people can make a living by gas-so, from ancient times to now, the west of the city has always been a place to do business and gather wealth.
"Financial Street" starts from Fuxingmen in the south, reaches Fuchengmen in the north, Taiping Bridge in the east and Second Ring Road in the west, with a total area of 103 hectares. Gold and silver shops casting coins in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties left traces here: it was called "Jincheng Square" from the Yuan Dynasty, and gold and silver shops were everywhere in the Ming and Qing Dynasties; By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Hubu Bank was also located here, later renamed Daqing Bank, and changed to China Bank in the first year of the Republic of China-it can be said that financial institutions of all dynasties gathered here.
"Shaqi" position on geomantic land
This road to prosperity not only has its own wealth, but also has many wonderful stories related to geomantic omen in the buildings on the road.
For example, the patchwork design of banks, the jade cong structure inside and outside insurance companies, and the mysterious temples in the shape of ancient coins all have feng shui elements infiltrated into them.
Among them, the most talked about and legendary is the head office building of a commercial bank in Financial Street.
It is said that at the beginning of the planning of financial street, several key lots became the focus of attention and competition among major banking institutions, and one of the leading plots was rarely interested because of the unfavorable surrounding geographical environment.
Adjacent intersections are divided into water (or water can't cross the hall), so don't think about gathering money; Moreover, the overpass on the main road of the Second Ring Road has been cut to fit the shoes, cut off in the middle, the road can't be diverted, and the bridge can't be rebuilt-people who have seen it secretly shook their heads, but unfortunately lost a good land.
But at that time, the president of a commercial bank pushed around in the crowd, selected this deserted lot, invited experts to see the land, and designed and built buildings everywhere.
I don't want to invite a dozen experts, and there is no practical solution.
Fortunately, the president persevered and finally invited Mr. Tang Lao, the former president of the Palace Museum, to make suggestions.
Tang Lao studied the geomantic omen of the Forbidden City for more than 40 years and was a pedant. After inspecting this place, he came up with a brilliant idea, and today's bank building came into being.
Another said that at that time, the Governor invited a famous Hong Kong Feng Shui master, and the master spent two months drawing up a complete renovation plan-whether these rumors are exaggerated or not is impossible to verify now.
But there is no doubt that every feng shui expert will marvel at the architectural feng shui layout of the head office of the bank.
