Ancient Feng Shui Master

Ancient Feng Shui Master

Guo Pu

Guo Pu was omnipotent in art and mathematics, and his Feng Shui knowledge was so profound that no one knew it at the time. When he was not famous, his mother died, and Guo Pu chose a very ordinary place to bury her mother. This piece of land is very close to the water and is often submerged by floods. At that time, many Feng Shui masters said that this piece of land was not good and suggested that he move it away. Guo Pu smiled and thanked him, and said that you will watch it later. It is strange to say that after a year, the floods have not risen up, but have receded far away, and dozens of miles around the cemetery have become first-class fertile fields. After that, people had to look at him with admiration. He became famous because of this. Many people from far away came here admiringly, asking him to go to the tomb and burial the grave. At that time, Emperor Ming of Jin was a man of rough air and water. Hearing that Guo Pu gave people tombs everywhere, and it was very fulfilled, he went to visit the tombs that Guo Pu chose for his burial. Once, on a mountain corner, I saw a villager who was burying the dragon's horn, so the Emperor Ming Dynasty asked the villager: "Why do you want to bury the dragon's horn? According to the criminal law, burying the dragon's horn must be cut across the door. "The owner of the tomb replied: "Mr. Guo Pu told me. He said that if you want to bury the dragon's horns here, you will be the emperor within three years." Emperor Jin Ming said anxiously, "Will the emperor be buried here?" and asked. Said, "You are burying your grave here, so that you can give birth to your family?" The villager laughed after hearing this: "It's not that my family will give birth to the emperor, it's just that the emperor can come here to ask questions." This is exactly what Guo said. Pu's words. It shows the high level of Feng Shui technique. Emperor Ming of Jin made up his mind to find Guo Pu, an expert. Later, Emperor Ming Emperor of Jin Dynasty met Guo Pu, learned a lot of Feng Shui knowledge from him, and cancelled this criminal law of burying the dragon's horns and copying and cutting all over the door.

Another time, a great-grandfather of an official named Chang Yu died. Guo Pu was asked to help him choose a place to bury his grave. After a few days of rushing, Guo Pu chose two good acupoints. He said to Chang Yu: "There are two problems with your good point. The first one can live a hundred years after the burial, and will reach Sansi, but the offspring will not prosper. In the second one, the number of life spans will be reduced by half, and the official position will end at the Qing school. , But the future generations can be distinguished from generation to generation. I don't know which one are you going to choose?" After listening to this, Zhang Yu didn't even think about it, so he chose the second one. This shows that the Chinese people's traditional concept is to hope that future generations will prosper and flourish. Master Guo Pu's feng shui deeds are many and have a great influence on later generations. His great work "The Burial Scripture" is still regarded as the most precious treasure by the feng shui masters.

Yang Junsong

From 834 to 900, the common name is Yang Jiupin, the name is Yi, the word is Shumao, and the name is Junsong, a native of Douzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and a famous Fengshui master.

Yang Yunsong once worked in the Tang Dynasty, retired from the government, and also brought the Feng Shui techniques learned in the official court to the people, and helped others with what he learned, so he has the nickname "Yang Jiu Pian".

According to "Nan'an Fuzhi" records: "Yang Junsong, from Douzhou, Xizong Dynasty, Zhang Lingtai geographical affairs, official to Jinziguanglu doctor, Huangchao broke the capital, but was sent to Kunlun Mountain after walking to Qianzhou, Zeng Wenyuan and Liu Jiangdong, who are known as the "Saving the Poor Immortals", died of piety and were buried in traditional Chinese medicine."

Regarding Yang Junsong's writings, there are still many controversies so far. Several classics in Feng Shui, such as "Tianyu Jing", "Qing Nang Olympic Language", "Du Tian Bao Zhao Jing", etc., are considered by many people to be written by Yang Junsong. However, in terms of style and content, it differs from Yang's other two works, "The Sutra of Shaking Dragon" and "The Sutra of Suspicious Dragon". There is a saying that the "Tianyu Jing", "Qing Nang Austrian Language", "Du Tian Bao Zhao Jing" and so on were originally court collections and never leaked. It was just that when the Yang family left the court, he took away the Feng Shui classics. When it was passed on to future generations, because the original classic did not indicate the author, the posterity entrusted the classics to be written by Yang Yunsong.

Cai Yuanding

From 1135 to 1198, the word Jitong was named Xishan. People from Jianyang Masa, Fujian Province. A native of Zhu Xi, known as "Mr. Xishan" in the world, he was a famous geomologist in ancient times.

His father Cai Fa is a famous philosopher. Cai Yuanding is good at Feng Shui, once built a house on the top of Xishan Mountain, and studied hard. In the sixth year of the main road (1170), Zhu Xi and Cai Yuanding met each other in Xishan and Yungu Mountain, Fujian, and studied together. They were hailed as the "Leader of Zhumen" and "The City of Fujian Studies". Zhu Xi betrothed his daughter to Cai Yuanding's son and became in-laws. In the 2nd year of Qingyuan (1196), Han Tong had the power to fight against the Neo-Confucianists. Zhu Xue was called "pseudo-learning", and Cai Yuanding was living in Daozhou (now Hunan). Before leaving, the master and apprentice drank and said goodbye to Jianyangba Bridge. Two years later, Cai Ke died in the mausoleum. His son Cai Shen helped Qiang for thousands of miles and was buried at the source of Cuilan, Chenbu Village, Houshan, Chongtaili, Jianyang. Zhu Xi went to pay his homage, saying: "Well, the season is through, and this is it. The knowledge of genius, the outstanding talent, Unyielding ambition, inexhaustible argument, no longer available and see." He is the author of "Lülu New Book", "Huangji Jingshi Zhiyao", "Bazhen Tushuo", and "Mai Jing".

Liao

Liao Yu, whose name is Boyu, was a native of Ningdu in the Tang Dynasty. He called himself "Jin Jing Shan Ren" and later known as "Liao Jin Jing", a famous Feng Shui master. It is said that he had read the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of fifteen, so the villagers called him the "Liao Five Classics" at that time. Yu Lai Buyi, Yang Jiupan, and Zeng Wenyuan are honored as the "Four Great Masters of Gan Yu".

Because his father Liao San was also a Feng Shui master, Liao Yu had been fascinated by Feng Shui since he was a child, and he also developed a great interest in Feng Shui. Later, he learned about Yang Jiupian’s "Qing Nang Olympic Language", and created Liao Gong Jiuxing, dividing various mountain shapes into sun, lunar, purple gas, golden water, Tiancai, Tiangang, Gu Yao, dry fire, and mopping up. Nine types, each of which has nine variations. According to the "Geography Zhengzong" record: "Liao Yu, the word Xiaochun, or the cloud word Wanbang. A native of Ningdu, Yinjinjingshan, named Jinjingshan. He is the author of "Acupoint Method", "Xietianji" and "Aoji Jinjing"."

His current surviving works include "Acupoint Method", "Xietian Ji", "Ao Ji Jin Jing", "Huaiyu Jing", "Observing the Origin Song", "Liao Gong Pasha Sutra", "Trigrams", "One Lamp", "Nine Stars Biography" Wait.

Lai Buyi

The year of birth and death is unknown. I only know that he was born in the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty. His original name was Lai Fenggang with the word Wenjun. He was born in Chuzhou Mingjiang (now Fengshangang, Dingnan County, Jiangxi Province). He was called "Lai Buyi" because of his own name "Buyizi". ", also known as Tai Su, Prophet Shanren, famous Chinese geomologists, and Yang Jiupian, Zeng Wenyu, and Liao Yu are honored as "the four great masters of geomancy in southern Jiangxi."

According to legend, Lai Buyi is a high school talent at the age of nine. Later, he served as a tribute to the Ministry of Rites, but he was obsessed with tactics, and his father had passed away, and he was frustrated in the officialdom, so he abandoned the officialdom and wandered. In the meantime, I met a geomancy master who taught him the study of geomancy and learned how to find dragons and acupuncture points. Hou Lai Buyi's deeds spread almost all over China with his exquisite comprehension skills. He is good at choosing tombs for people. He once chose the tomb for Luo Yanzhang's dead wife. He pointed out that this tomb can make his son ranked in the examination room, and he really did. Later, it was rumored that Lai Buyi saw through the red dust, hiding in the mountains and forests, and disappeared. When he traveled to Dexing, he once taught Fu Botong and other geomancy studies. The "Buyi Temple" in Lai Buyi's hometown is still listed as a key cultural relic protection unit and tourist attraction. His works include "Li Qixue Method", "Guanguan Pian" and so on.

Jiang Dahong

From 1616 to 1714, his name was Ke, the word Pingjie, also known as Zhusheng, Wenjie, and the name of Zongyangzi, and he was called "Master Du Ling". Famous Fengshui masters, geomancy experts in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and also famous poets. For generations lived in Huating Zhangze (now Zhangze Town, Songjiang District).

Jiang Dahong lost his mother in his childhood and his father in his middle age. At the beginning, he followed his father Anxi Gong to practice Feng Shui in the family. After repeated quotations, I found many improprieties, but I don't know how to correct them.

By coincidence, De Wu Ji Zi taught Xuan Kong Feng Shui, as if it was a moment of silence. Afterwards, they collected the laws of each family and studied them successively, and successively studied the Wu Tianzhu water dragon method and the Wuyi Taoist Yang house method. Ten years later, Jiang began to travel around, citing Feng Shui that he had learned, and it took another ten years to fully grasp the true meaning of Xuan Kong Feng Shui and become a master of Chinese Feng Shui. In his later years, Jiang Dahong settled in Yexi, Jishan, Shaoxing.

In his early years, Jiang Dahong had studied poetry with Chen Zilong of the Yunjian School, and he was also famous. Later generations also referred to Jiang as one of the representatives of the Yunjian School in his poems.

Jiang's poems have strong emotions and are in a lyrical style. And after the death of Ming Dynasty, his style is more than that of the state of subjugation. Poems and works include "Zhi Ji Ji" (co-authored with Shen Yinian, Zhou Jixian, etc.).

Since he was born when the country was destroyed in the Ming Dynasty, the Jiang family felt deeply about the country. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, he joined the king and was awarded the commander of the Ministry of War, and was later promoted to the history of the government. After the death of Ming Dynasty, the Jiang family no longer served as an official, and devoted himself to the research and creation of feng shui and poetry. In the seventeenth year of Kangxi, the court opened history and recruited scholars who had learned a lot of poetry. At that time, someone came up to recommend Jiang Dahong, but Jiang declined.

The feng shui works handed down include "Geography Correction", "Zizijin", "Water Dragon Scripture" and "Five Songs of Tianyuan".
