Analysis Into Zhang BingLing SanHe Methodology 2

Immediate External Water Method:

Ren Sitting, Bing Facing.

Water Placement (well) at Yin

Gold Division: Xin Hai, Xin Si

Gold Division: Ding Hai, Ding Si

Water direction: Right to Left, Ding – Bing – Xun (Exit)

Poem:

Yang Dwelling water mouth receiving at Ding, motion produce Authority at Imperial Stables. When the Master uses this formation, wealth and glory would be everlasting.

Criticism:

There is no sign of 12 growth stages included in the woodblock. Assuming this was the techniques, the objective is to obtain Officer, wealth and nobility, sitting Metal frame, Ding receiving Youth water, Bing activating Officer water and exits at Xun which is Prosperity, which is forbidden. Assuming it is a Earth Xue, receiving weakening water, activating sickness water and exiting at death. Possible, but not encourage able, as incoming could have been from prosperity. So, there is no consistency between the methods applied in the major external with the immediate external.

Alternatively, if we look at Earthly Principles Five Verses, exiting at Xun and Si are major 8 road of destruction, crash into officer palace, kills and making the owner to be a bankrupt, almost opposite from the intention of the poem.

Well location at Yin possible of activating the Sky Horse formation and in this case expediting inauspiciousness? A very possible choice, assuming it is in an auspicious formation. Therefore, how SanHe could it possibly is?

Immediate External:

Ren = FuWei

Gen = WuGui

Zhen (Door) = TianYi

Xun (Gate) = ShengQi

Li (Facing) = YanNien

Kun = JueMing

Dui = HuoHai

Qian = LiuSha

Poem:

The meandering path leading in the courtyard gate in the formation of the whip or the jade belt. It wrap and embraces YanNian and therefore invite authority, wealth and nobility. ShengQi and TianYi at door end of the path and generations will become officer of the 6 ministries…

Criticism:

This is a very novel proposal, using Eight Mansion to determine the pathway leading to the main door, alternatively from using this method as an internal FengShui. BaZhai as it is called has its root from Greater Wandering Gua method.

For a Ren Sitting House, we take as a Kan Gua House. Sitting FuWei, Facing YanNian. So, we assumed that the same natal chart shall also apply internally which in this case was silent. The novel idea at this juncture is the assumption that between Tian Di and Ren, it is the Ren factor that brings in Qi into the otherwise container (house) encapsulating Tian and Di. In this case, coming into the ShengQi (wood) gate into Tian Yi (earth) door will bring auspicious tidings. Elemental analysis speaking, the gate controls into the main door instead of growing into the main door may otherwise brings other portends. How could that be?

A space not confined by the 4 walls has no potential of containing Qi similarly with the heaven heart that is not enclosed. So, how could ShengQi be brought into the house?

Although Eight Mansions straddled between SanHe and SanYuan in a confused fundamental, it is SanYuan in nature for it does not harp on the notion of 12 growth. So the method employ by Zhang is inconsistent from the macro to the micro.

Conclusion:

Reading the preface and trying to put myself into Zhang BingLing’s shoe is very difficult especially when the ideas cannot gel itself into one single body of knowledge that is rooted on ZhangShu being the authoritative classics for the SanHe, instead of Huai NanZi which is a classics on astrology and I will have to make up the rest on an implied basis to make sense out of his idea so presented. So, I will not take these classics as worthy as it is claimed.

To all the readers, if you think otherwise, please let me know of your thoughts for a fruitful discussion on these subject matters.
