EH is the body, object, host or principle (Ti) and LH is the soul, subject, guest or application (Yung). EH is a given scenario that cannot change as in the gives of Heaven. LH is a transformation as in Human Actions. Undoubtedly based on the principle of Ti and Yung, we said EH governs mountain, as herewith referred to human relationships and health aspect, whereas, LH governs water, as herewith referred to opportunities and wealth. LH is something that is in our controls where as EH is not.When we look into the 8 wandering Guas, we are arranging the directional Qi map of the 8 sectors and if applied to the mountains or stars, we called it as “pai long” or arranging the dragons. Another name to it is the minor wandering Guas. When the name of the stars from the big dipper is assigned to these Guas it is called star, hence the name 8 minor wandering Stars is surfaced.
The similar notion is then applied to BaZhai when the stars are assigned to the 8 directional Qi map of the 8 sectors for a compartmentalized structure. To distinguish between these methods of arranging the stars, it is called minor wandering stars for assigning the mountain, mainly used for burial and major wandering stars for assigning of Qi map for compartmentalized spaces in a dwelling.
These form the premise of what later known as the East and West House.
