Since time immemorial, the Chinese are called the descendant of the dragon 龍的傳人. Such term does not stem out arbitrarily. The term Dragon is referred to the Yellow Emperor 黃帝.
Legend foretold that the Yellow Emperor, first known Emperor of the Chinese Civilization is the rebirth of the Celestial Dragon King. Dragon King is a celestial existence known in other cultures as Nagas, Serpents or simply, dragon. These creatures to some cultures are celestial beings or unseen celestial bodies some called Deva or Deities. These are noble creatures that have great affinity with the human existence in a symbiotic relationship. Many sages view the human existence as a testing ground to achieve higher attainment and therefore such existence must be protected at all cost.
This is the role of the Yellow Emperor at a point of time. However, his brother, ChiYou 蚩尤, leading the entire army of gargoyle, thinks otherwise. They battled forcefully to the brink of extinction for the human race in what is known as the battle of ZhuoLu 涿鹿.
Then the turning point begins when the Yellow Emperor broke down to end his life. He thought, what use of an emperor if he has no one to lead and it will be better off if he would return to the celestial and become a dragon, if Heaven does not permit. The Celestial Western Mother heard his plea and requested her trusted celestial deities to his rescue.
The savior of Yellow Emperor is none other then the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heaven 九天玄女. She is the manifestation of the universal Yin energy resemblance of the celestial Phoenix that has been known in legendary history as the mother creator of the LuoPan and the Art of War. Among other things that Yellow Emperor inherited, these knowledge of KanYu and the compass marked the birth of Chinese Metaphysics. At that point of time there is no SanHe or SanYuan.
These knowledge were later handed down to Jiang Tai Gong 姜太公, Huang Shi Gong 黄石公 and masters of the later date. There is a reason why in my earlier writings I wrote about http://yifengshui.blogspot.com/2008/12/politics-as-highest-form-of-art.html, http://yifengshui.blogspot.com/2008/10/we-are-one-big-family.html and http://yifengshui.blogspot.com/2008/12/political-science-of-kanyu.html. There is a reason for it. These will be revealed from time to time.

By then, I will continue later.

Hi Master David,
long time no write to you, been busy working on myarchitectural final project at campus. I've some questions to ask you,hope you can give me some hint about this topic below: 1. You said ba gua is representation of a myriad things. Ok, i think iget your point about ba gua, but raised another question: How aboutluo shu? What the ancient chinese try to explain with the arrangementof the luo shu? 2. How about He Tu? What they try to explain with this arrangement... 3. Is it true early heaven derived from the he tu while later heavenderived from the luo shu? Is there any correlation between He Tu andLuo Shu with the ba gua?I think there must be some connection because some feng shui systemsuperimpose the luo shu with later heaven (XKFX) while the othersuperimpose the luo shu with early heaven (XKDG & Ba Zhai). I can'tfigure out how they correlate to each other. ( Btw, He Tu never being superimposed with the Ba Gua? Hahaha...) Would you mind elaborating the above topic master Yi? Thank You very much. Regards.
It takes a whole class lesson to explain this and that is what I am planning to do next.
1. One is imagery and the other isnumeroloy. They meant for different purposes.
2. No. EH is EH. HeTu is HeTu. LH does not stem from LoShu.
3. In LoShu there is HeTu. One state the principle and the other the applications.
Cheers
Hi master Yi,You said "It takes a whole class lesson to explain this and that iswhat I am planning to do next."Do you teach FS, master yi? or have some class about He Tu and Luo Shutopic? Hope i can join it... I'm really curious about he tu and luoshu... No one ever try to explain those 2 basic component of FSthoroughly (at least to me), haha... Selama ini, hanya diperkenalkan susunan dari dua diagram tersebut,tetapi tidak pernah dijelaskan secara mendetail..., -> not knowing howto write in english (it is in bahasa), hope you could understand whati meant... Hope you can elaborate more on your blog...Thank you.
Yes, I am planning to have a class teaching Basic KanYu. HeTu and LoShu is always the base up to "university" level. One will still be talking about the same things.
Penggunaan diagram tersebut adalah pelbagai tanpa batasan. Saya tidak akan menyentuhnya secara mendalam dalam blog saya. Setakat sepintas sahaja yang selama ini saya sertakan.
Ah... I see... Hahaha...I really hope a person like you is being here in Indonesia, one whoreally knows Kan Yu and know how to explain it in a proper way givingdeep understanding about it...May be some day i can go to yourcountry, Malaysia, and can learn much from you...As you always said,"only affinity will pave the ways...". ('really love that phrase...)Thank you, master... Regards,
Wah, Master David Yek. Only today I can find time to read your blog. Good job. Well done. Keep it up.
