Validity of QianKun GuoBao 乾坤國寶

QianKun GuoBao (乾坤國寶) or by another name LongMen BaJu (龍門八局) is a middle heaven water method (中天水法) which is defined by the confluence of two rivers where water is deemed to have exited the middle heaven Gua (中天). This middle heaven position must not violate the Early and Later Heaven (先後天). In practice, it is mainly apply in the flatland conditions (平龍) where mountain source Qi is difficult to locate. 

The applications rest within the ability of the practitioner to NaShui (納水) and ShouShui (受水). In fact, this method is not only formula based but a landform solution to SanYuan School. Both SanYuan and SanHe schools shared the same landform fundamentals. The so called middle heaven Gua (中天) is equivalent to landform water mouth (水口). 

There is a landform principle to determine the host water dragon (主水龍) and the guest water dragon (客水龍). Failing to do so will result in the “husband marrying someone else’s wife”. Thus, one is not able to Shou ShengQi (受生氣). Strangely, 3 out of the 8 formations, namely Qian, Kan and Li violated such landform fundamentals. 

SanHe School is proud of their 12 ChangSheng water method (12長生水法). Based on this method, it derives the 4 major water mouths (4大水口). From these 4, it multiplies into YinYang 8 Gua.  

SanYuan School is proud of their HeTu GuaQi water method (河圖卦氣水法). It matches Dragon (龍) with Sitting (坐), Water (水) with Facing (向) to Chang ShengQi (藏生氣). From the 2 slices to the 4 imageries and the 8 Gua, to connect the dots right up to its original state. So a Sitting Gua (坐卦) is of paramount important. 

Although SanHe and SanYuan are two mainstream schools, they share the same forefather – Great Grandmaster Yang. So to receive good incoming water and to exit at weakening Qi sectors are of the main priority. Strangely, most of the the 12 ChangSheng water method (12長生水法) does not match middle heaven water method (中天水法). 3 out of the 32 configurations only, Dui and Zhen in a fire formation, Gen in a wood formation conforms to both systems and it is not a good indicator as well.
