There has been much debate lately pertaining to the matter of Lineage of Grand Master Yang (GM Yang). Such has inevitably invited many comments from contemporary masters, quoting from the lack of understanding of the classics to the lack of access of the cryptically coded classical text that are only made available to their lineage holder. Such foray has been a display of a differentiated world views, right from our ancestor to the current practitioner, and such views has not been changed since. It is for this reason, is ought to be beneficial to revisit some fundamentals: -
There is this sort of fundamental called pure Ying and pure Yang. It may sound like a jargon, but what does it really means. It sounds really technical then it should have been. It is just to say the polarity of QI deriving from the example, Yang Metal in-coming dragon, drop a Yang Metal Spot, received by a Yang Metal Burial, boundary by a Yang Metal Water Formation, facing a prosperous direction. A continuously uninterrupted flow of QI of the same polarity. This part tells the mechanism of QI transfer.
So, the next argument is if everything is of the same polarity, where is the growing QI? It takes Ying to intercourse with the Yang for QI to grow. What is the meaning of intercourse of QI and growing QI, it just say the interval when Ying meets Yang. What it really means is when the Old Yang die, the new Ying is born, the real Ying, real Yang principle. This principle was embedded within the structure, that is to say, the physical geographic formation must display these birth, prosperous and death formation to receive growing QI. A fundamental of SanHe.
In the burial classic, Grand Master Guo Pu said it such as the collapse of the Bronze mountain in the West, toll is the Bronze Bell in the East. This imply that the QI is transform in a continuous flux, but it actually say the death of metal QI give rise to the wood QI, represented by the bell tower.
Next the same fundamentals had been embedded in the system of deriving the stem from the eight trigrams and 12 earthly branches (NAJIA). Another word is reassigning the 5 elements into these stems branches permutation. That is why, some may consider over generalization of equating the East as wood element and the West as metal element. Above all, East can be further sub divide into the corresponding 5 elements by NAJIA.
The SanYuan school may equate the interpretation of Grand Master Jiang to the above said as the followings, which may not be agreed upon by the SanHe purist: -
Zi and Xun, interchange and combine based on Xuan Kong,
Xun and Zi, look carefully within the Xuan Kong Gua.
Shan and Shui, we must understand this theory,
Shui and Shan, misfortune and fortune are related,
understand Xuan Kong, it's all in the Wu Xing,
know this method, it's no need to find the Na Jia.

It actually says the same thing in a different paradigm. In XuanKong, the NAJIA is important but is not necessitated once you understand the XuanKong 5 elements. In a nutshell the application of the real and the pure has been assimilated in the XuanKong paradigm represented by the XuanKong 5 elements. That doesn't mean at all that the NAJIA can be discarded.
In conclusion, it just does not justify to stand to a lineage so strictly, although a linage may be blessed with an entire collections of what works and what doesn't, that we may take the tree as the forest, loosing sight of the all embracing WuJi (Nothingness) as the mother of all things. The fundamental is YI. Unless we change our view, we may not inherit anything.
