Come on, master tianyi will take you to analyze and start our journey of finding dragons and feng shui knowledge.
First of all, let's talk about Hu Bayi, the protagonist of August 18th. He repeatedly nagged about the formula of dividing the gold and fixing the acupoints: finding the dragon and dividing the gold depends on winding the mountain, and a winding is a heavy pass. There are eight risks in closing the door, so there will be no gossip of yin and yang. Where did this come from? These words are from the classic Feng Shui book "The Dragon Shake Classic".
Chapter 5: Lian Zhen Star: Looking for the dragon depends on the winding mountain, and if it winds again, it will be a heavy obstacle. If there are thousands of locks when the door is closed, there must be a prince living here.
The screenwriter made a modification and changed it to close the door. If there are eight dangers, there is no yin and yang gossip, and it is not fickle.
In geomantic omen, it can be said that five lines of gossip has passed all the risks. Even if you have no risk, gossip is still there, not because you have one more risk, nor because you have one less risk.
Second, the geomantic reasoning that looks tall in the movie also makes common sense mistakes. Hu Bayi, played by Chen Kun, is holding a compass, chanting and deducing: the entrance is a horse, and the horse is divination. When a mouse meets a horse, it is a hurdle, and when a sheep meets a horse, it is a departure. When a dog meets a horse, it is dry. When going up and down, it is the door, and the dog is the exit.
This is not right.
There is a noun "Shengmen" here. What is the birth gate? Shengmen is one of the eight schools of Taoist magic. Eight gates are eight different orientations determined by Daoism according to the Eight Diagrams, namely: open gate, closed gate, raw gate, injured gate, Dumen gate, Jingmen gate, startled gate and dead gate.
Among them, the raw door belongs to the soil. After beginning of spring, everything recovered, the sun be the spirit turned to flourish, and everything recovered, which the ancients called a living door. The gate of birth is an auspicious place, corresponding to the Northeast Palace, and the ground branch is a cow or a tiger. But in the movie, Hu Bayi is the dog's dry noodles, and the dry noodles actually open the door.
Third, about hanging coffins. China folk custom and Feng Shui both recognize the rule of being buried in the soil. The hanging coffin at the beginning of the movie "Searching for the Dragon" really gave me a visual freshness.
However, this is not in line with the principle of geomantic omen. Generally, coffins still touch the ground more. At present, archaeology has not found a precedent of hanging coffins in mid-air with iron ropes. Some friends may say that there are hanging coffins in China. All right, let's talk about hanging coffins.
According to Taiping Yu Lan, there are thousands of hanging coffins on the half cliff. Hanging coffins means that coffins are located above the ground, such as opening holes or erecting supports on cliffs, and the holes or supports are hung high on the ground, which is called hanging coffins.
As can be seen from the above picture, even if it is suspended, we will find something to rely on, such as erecting wooden stakes, wooden frames, earth platforms or bronze platforms to support the coffin.
Like in the movie, the coffin is locked and hung in mid-air with chains, giving people a strange feeling. This is not the way to let the dead rest in peace. It looks like locking the dead and suppressing them. Compared with the splendor of the tomb owner in the movie, it is unlikely to be done.
Of course, the owner of the coffin mentioned in the movie is the princess of Liao. Whether ethnic minorities will do this remains to be seen. Of course, there is something right in the movie. For example, the origin of the ghost blowing lamp at the beginning.
People light candles, while ghosts blow lights. This is the secret of Mojin Sect, one of the four sects of tomb robbery in legend, which means that only by lighting candles in the southeast corner can you open the coffin and enter the tomb. If the candle goes out, you must quit as soon as possible and don't take anything.
According to legend, this is a contract between the living and the dead, which has been passed down for thousands of years and is no exception. The formula is as follows:
Send a mound seal, touch a gold symbol, remove mountains and find dragons;
People light candles, ghosts blow lights, map and fight to find stars and peaks;
There are countless mercury spots, bright nurturers and Dragon Palace halls.
If the coffin is heavy, it is bronze, and the Chinese character is not hard. Don't go near it.
Vertical burial pits, box tombs, moving mountains and unloading mountains;
The red dress is fierce, smiling at a corpse, laughing more than listening to ghosts crying.
So why light candles in the southeast corner of the tomb? Because the southeast is a lost position, explained by plum blossoms, the lost position represents the position of ghosts and gods, and candles can communicate with ghosts and gods in the lost position.
This is the scene in the novel. According to the original author Muye Zhang, I consulted Feng Shui books. Fortunately, the screenwriter didn't make any random changes here, otherwise I might make another mistake.
