The Geography Of ZhangShu


In geography, there are 3 dragons coming into China from west to the east, before branching into 5 branches namely Qian, Kun, Kan, Li and Dui. Thus the western side of China is always higher then the eastern side. If South is taken as the facing, we would end up having the white tiger higher then the green dragon. This is a geographical fact. It is also said that all veins has its origin from the KunLun Mountain.

KunLun range is at about 13,000 ft or higher at the region of the Tibetan Plateau, running along sides the Himalayas, branching out to Karin Basin, Gobi and Greater Khingan Range back dropping the Manchurian Plains, whereas the others bordering the great YangTze, Yellow and Xi Rivers. Apparently this is the source of all major rivers from Brahmaputra and the Chinese Great Rivers. Apparently only YangTze, Yellow and Xi Rivers flow down the fertilized SiChuan Plains before exiting to the North China Sea and Yellow Sea at the Eastern region of China and Brahmaputra turns into the region of Bhutan and Bangladesh.

At this juncture, can one identify where is the Qian, Kun, Kan, Li and Dui branches of the 3 dragons? Where is the Jia, Bing, Geng and Ren dragons marrying the Gui, Yi, Ding and Xin rivers?
