Confronting Y Again!

Reflecting one of the article in the now, defunct blog - 13Voices, about Property located on a WaterShed will sure to meet its doom, many of the observations revealed otherwise. It is a FengShui External Taboo no-1 that state, NEVER locate your property in a watershed. For us in QuanYuan, there is a way to go about it - fortunately. 

A “Y” configuration is either a road splits into two or both roads connect into one. The former is known to be a water mouth and the latter is known as the watershed. Our article entitled "Confronting Y" is a good reflection of such that it is never Bad FengShui if a property is located in a watershed subject that you know how to position your entrance. The HongKong master always refer to such as "Confronting SanSha".

A case in reference, Shop-A is located in a location that fulfilled its YinYang structure. Used to be a good F&B shop and it was audited by a YangGong master. Few years down the road, it ceased to operate due to high rental.

Shop-B is located in a location of the so called watershed. Many operators failed that include F&B operators. The last tenant rope in another not very well known master. The rest is history. It prosper liked nobody business. You practically have to queue up to get a seat.

The morale of the story, watershed FengShui is salvageable and if you know what to do it brings you windfall.

The Architecture of FengShui or The FengShui of Architecture?

Great Picture of the Building Interiors - click HERE

This building was designed incorporating the art of KanYu. It does not in any way look like a Chinese Temple. There is absolutely no Lions, Qilin, FuDogs, PiYao and the sort you can get in China Town. It is a modern avant-garde building built in the enclave of undulating terrains. 

We first attempted from ground Zero and land form compliance. No XKDG or fighting SanSha acrobatics. No Flying Star fly here and there. Just pure attempt to locate the main entrance given the site context. On ground, no clue of where the incoming dragon is as everywhere are trees and canopies of foliage. Only the roads indicated to us the high and low. No need the extravagance of helicopter ride even if your client is rich enough to burnt money for you. 

It is coming from Kan (1) moving towards Li (9). Obviously QKGB compliance would require the building to sit Qian (6) facing Xun (4). That is where it all goes so terribly wrong! XKDG state that Dragon and Facing must be prosperous so sticking the butt of your building in the Direct Spirit will be disastrous! Come on… be real? 

In a commercial set up, we preferred to receive Yin. The door is located to receive where Qi begins. Both conforming structurally Yin Wood receiving Officer exiting Weakening and receiving Prosperous and exiting Weakening GuaYun 4. Internally, Qi flow modulated by the ramp in Yin sequence, engineered to be retained in every floor. The main door is receiving YanNian BaZhai Qi. It is 8 Mansions but not those that is available in books. It is a perfect combination of 10 with stars of 6 conjunction 4. If one understood perfectly what 8 Mansion is there are only 1-6, 6-1 Qi as ShengQi and not any HeTu combination. It is where the understanding of star conjunctions in the Flying Star and BaZhai got so messed up. 

When the building is completed, on the top most level, we noticed where the incoming dragon is. What a relieved that it conforms to our earlier observation. Great work for the team involved from the Client to the Contractors.

XKDG - Plain Rubbish Version

Yes, you read it right! There are plenty of plain rubbish versions of XKDG available in the market. If you search the net, you will be greeted with some form of rosy chart claiming to be the complete course of XKDG. Yet, the rosy charts like the one attached are nothing close to the truth. It only represents the current level of Master Practitioners out there in the market of English speaking community. I can’t blame them as it is a highly guarded secret among the real practitioners. 

Using XKDG together with QMDJ is another sugar coated scheme that is highly marketed these days. It is made popular by the late Zheng ZiNan (ZZN) coined with a mouthful - SanYuan DiLi XianTian XuanKong DaGua QiMen DunJia, in the late 1970s. All the sudden, you see fresh young Master Practitioners having claimed to have a piece of ZZN now offering such to the masses. If truly QMDJ is about asking favor from the Dieties, there is always a cheaper version to seek out consultation from the temple medium… 

Please get real!

Water Water Everywhere

A new English source on water method is now available, thanks to the painstaking effort of Master Hung HC. This book is by far, quite a complete genre of SanHe water method. Within it encompasses the 2 well known antagonistic camps of SanHe. One originated from the typical YangGong approach of 12 phases water method while the other the FanGua or Flipping Trigram, which was believed to have been in existence pre-dating YangGong himself.

Reading HHC’s lucid rendition of such heavy loaded classics with some strokes of humour, clearly justify the author’s ability in a self-confessed style of a YangGong convert.  This very book may even be a revival of interest in SanHe methodology.

It is whimsical to note that the ideation of GuTuo and CheYing, both monks, are illiterate and yet they are the masters of SanHe. It must be truly the work of hidden hands such as fairies with the collective of authors that we, today learnt about the Assitant Star Water Method and the 4 Major Water Mouths. Literati FengShui master like Zhao JiuFeng refined CheYing’s work further into a compendium of SanHe, called Earthly Principles 5 Verses. This classic laid the foundation for the Water Dragon method popularized by our modern writers liked Big Sister and a famous Grandmaster.

Yet no known author expanded on GuTuo’s work, leaving RuDiYan as the most “corrupted” classic with many later days addition with no citation whatsoever. Even HHC admitted that he has no idea where the sequence of the stars in the transformation comes about. 

With the passing of the YangGong Old Method Grandmaster Li at the ripe age of 100, some secret techniques of the YangGong School may have lost. Yet, HHC believes that the essence is preserved within another SanHe method by Ye JiuShen, called whatsoever name water method, published almost the same time with CheYing’s book. Being whatsoever, HHC took the liberty to call it Early and Later Heaven water method but it has nothing to do with Dragon Gate 8 Formations or QianKun National Treasure water methods.

Ye JiuShen took a “rocket-science” of his days approach in deploying 4 major water mouths where the Later Heaven components are similar to CheYing’s approach but the Early Heaven components are mind-boggling. So archaic is this Early Heaven that later day author dropped it altogether and named it simply as Later Heaven Water Method.

It is a good read...

Must Good FengShui Have The 4 Guardians?

On many accounts, one will read that to enjoy Good FengShui, one must be located in a spot embraced by the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Black Turtle and Red Phoenix. This is UNTRUE. Observation and case study revealed, 2 stalls selling the same local delicacies (Nyonya Kuih) labeled “A” and “B”, same sitting and facing, side by side with NO Green Dragon, White Tiger, Black Turtle and Red Phoenix embraces, same pricing, same Deco but stall “A” strive better as compared to stall “B”. The ultimate question is WHY?

FengShui = Metaphysics?

Calling FengShui as Chinese Metaphysics is just another naming convention. The tag 'meta' only denotes that 2 fundamentals  of FengShui that are still not scientifically proven. One is Qi existence and the other, its unit measurement. In a nutshell, it is a paradigm, not a science. 

Similarly, the notable 5 arts are grouped together as a convention rather then specific classifications. The 5 arts interlace one another in a flux, not in duality. 

Advertising a course as techniques that can can cure the sick, enrich the poor and smartened  the dull is a nicer way to say it is a magician making FengShui course. The Chinese called it the Art of the Immortal. Yet, the teacher is only a mortal. Now, that is a sheer contradiction. 

It is only true that cure the sick, enrich the poor and smartened  the dull are among the many reasons, why people are willing to invest hard earned money into this branch of metaphysics. Without such abilities, it does not worth its charms. FengShui consumers want miracles. Miracle is FengShui's commodities. In Maoist's view, it is the opium of the people.

FengShui methods that delivers such miracle is hard to come by. If the method works, it must work for everyone without exception. This in turn, is called consistency. The litmus test is its ability to bring about measurable results. 

Measurable results are statistical benchmarks set prior to the makeover, for example 50% increase in current sales value, better academic results in the next semester or improvement in human relationship. Sale increments are the easiest to benchmark. That is one reason commercial FengShui is so much easier to measure outcomes

The YiJing of Bolehland Government

 

What we perceived Bolehland Executive Structure is liked a Pyramid where its CEO is at the pinnacle. This is a Normal Western Outlook. In terms of YiJing Gua, such arrangement is horrible. Even when he wins the Bolehland election with the slimmer majority, its CEO is on the way to the chopping board and the next CEO goes up the pedestal.

 

However, the Bolehland Supremo is smarter, probably he understood YiJing Gua. He has his proxy runs Bolehland. Anyone failed his expectation; he has someone else ready to take over, ultimately from his pool of family members. A Dynasty in creation. He is the actual seat of POWER. Better, most proxies cannot see eye to eye with each other thus create the “check and balance”. What has this got to do with YiJing Gua?

 

The first scenario is where Gen above Kun. A single Yang Yao supported by all the Yin Yao. Any mistake from the bottom Yao, the entire structure collapse like a house of cards. Do you think it is favorable?

 

The second scenario is where Zhen above Kun. A single Yang Yao just manage to resemble upon crossing the lower trigram. It is liked an impossible task managed to be completed successfully. A break through. YiJing jargon denotes – a successful crossing. So, whichever the top Yin Yao collapse, the Yang Yao is still hidden, untouchable. Beautiful and a good resemblance of DunJia 遁甲.

 

Can never have enough of such ancient timeless wisdom.

Bolehland's Poison Is Kiasuland's Meat

 

Reading this article, Singapore – Friend or Foe caught me thinking. Similarly to the question, YinYang forever cannot be discerned on its own 陰陽永遠分不開, in order for this Kiasuland to prosper, its neighbors must be otherwise. Look around Indonesia and Bolehland, what had they in common - Corruption?

 

Kiasuland is nestle neatly embraced by the strait of Johore, receiving Qi from the Titiwangsa take a deep dive under the strait of Johore and resurfaced in Bukit Timah dropping its Spot in the region of Raffles, where central CBD is centralized. Cluster of islands forming Indonesia deflected Qi to this very same spot making it a perpetual Qi generator. The Johore causeway only strengthens such mechanism. Any attempt to replace it with bridge is impossible as the patriarch of Kiasuland knows too well that its main Qi conduit rests within this connection. A clean internal stream within the island state distributes quality Qi evenly to all parts.

 

As Kiasuland shares similarity in cultural inclination and historical background with Bolehland any weakness in Bolehland would be the strength of Kiasuland. If Bolehland civil administration is good with minimal corruption, would MNC set up their regional HQ in Kiasuland? If Bolehland pratices meritocracy, would there be brain drain to Kiasuland? If Bolehland economy prospers her citizen, would Kiasuland be the economic center of SEA? However, History has no “IF”.

 

The current disillusion state of Bolehland would only prosper Kiasuland. With the rise of Indonesia, commodities of Bolehland are in the threshold of self-destruction. Industrials are relocating to the northern region of Indochina for lower operation cost . Dampened meritocracy escalate brain drain benefitting others. Social unrest with the minimal trust now vested upon the system of democracy of Bolehland from the Judiciary, Legislative to the Executive right up to the most fundamental of homeland security of the police force, influx of aliens with illegitimate citizenship, depletion of the middle income group and rise of cronyism and corruption, uncontrolled inflation and the sort.

 

Only when Kiasuland’s neighbors are in the state of disorientation, real prosperity of Kiasuland would grow. This is the fundamental of Real Yin Real Yang. The purest Yang would grow within the oldest and the dying Yin.

 

This is how one discern YinYang.

What Is A Complete SanYuan SanShi QiMen 三元三式奇門 - HeLuo XuanJi SanYuan 64 Gua 河洛玄機三元六氣奇門遁甲

When a XKDG YiGua ChunQing 一卦純清 has both the supports of QiMen portal with the arrival of TaiYi QiMen 太乙奇门 at the facing, what is lack here is the water method to hold the entire formation together. 

Some Taiwanese masters called these the ZhongTian ShuiFa 中天水法 or the HeLuo XuanJi SanYuan 64 Gua 河洛玄機三元六氣奇門遁甲. The trick here is to enable what is probably called FeiXing RuDou  飛星入斗 or Flying Star entering asterism. The way these 64 Gua arrays are entirely different from XKDG, because they are based on LianShan GuiChang Gua 连山归藏 instead.

While we always thought that LianShan GuiChang were extinct, LianShan is referred to the source Qi of KunLun and GuiChang, the water dragon of HuangHe. Matching both will unlock the secrets of LingZheng principles and determine where SanYuan water mouth should be located. Some called it AiXing Fa, but it is really LiuRen QiMen  六壬奇門 in nature, where the 4 Wei Gua or the ordinal trigrams are the basis of LianShan GuiChang. 

In a 3D formation, it is the ladder that links the underworld, human and heaven together. Although the market driven LungMen BaJu, Dragongate 8 Formations is also called ZhongTian ShuiFa, it is a modified version of the LiuRen QiMen. That is why it will never reflects the true landform consideration to an extend it sounded illogical.

I personally disagree with how these Taiwanese masters tend to gel things together especially so when the source are as doubtful as hearing from grandma's tale. Especially when it is said HeLuo XuanJi SanYuan 64 Gua was discovered from so and so in a cave at Hainan Island. Furthermore, with the aid of computer, SanShi QiMen looks like any western astrology and I believed, if it can be found as any computer softwares, its real truth is somewhere far far away...

No wonder, I was told QMDJ date selections are used to do FengShui, determine auspicious hour and do predictions. OMG!

What Is A Complete SanYuan SanShi QiMen 三元三式奇門 - MingShi PanXian 明師盤線

Insufficient with that, some Taiwanese masters also included the use of Heavenly Star method, TianXing Fa 天星法 based on QiZheng SiYou 七政四餘 or some called QiZheng SanWang 七政三王 to match the actual arrival of the asterism to a sub sector of a hexagram.

Heavenly Star method is the core astrology study of TaiYi ShenShu 太乙神數, one of the SanShiQiMen. It is also the basis of how the SiFenLi or the 4 remaining calendar is derived from. 4 Remaining is another word for intercalary, apt for the intercalary of 64 Hexagram to the 60 JiaZi. By determining the exact of the7 luminaries to the closest minute, one is able to determine the 5 elemental correlation between the asterism with the palace it resides. That will be as close to a Yao within a Hexagram. 

Extended from XKDG YiGua ChunQing, the change of Yao within a specific hexagram is called ChaoYao HuanXiang, changing a Yao to change the imagery of a hexagram. Because the Yao is less than a degree, it is very difficult to ascertain its correct usage and often rendered as nonsense. 

Matching the properties' sitting and facing of the dynamic 7 luminaries within the fixed asterism, it is how the art of TaiYi QiMen applied to XKDG. One school called such as MingShi PanXian 明師盤線 or Great Master Plate Line. The term line denotes the correlation among the 7 luminaries, palaces of the 28 asterism and its subsectors within the 64 Hexagram sitting and facing Yao lines. Come to think of it, the Taiwanese has given it a twist as a rocket science of Chinese Metaphysics.

What Is A Complete SanYuan SanShi QiMen 三元三式奇門 - XKDG Early Heaven 64 Gua 三元玄空先天64卦奇門遁甲

 

One mistake with regard to QiMenDunJia (QMDJ) date selection is the auspicious date! There is NO auspicious or inauspicious date to begin with. QMDJ hour school is base on the selection of hour to benefit from one situation. It is a sum zero game that require one to take side.

 

If one is the offensive, the QMDJ plate will best tell you the scenario to win. Whereas the defender will see from the plate, where is the situation that require the most defend. There is absolutely no good or bad, but what is appropriate. The entire chart is a scenario telling the plot of both parties.

 

In Taiwan, the simultaneous use of QMDJ with XKDG Early Heaven 64 Gua 三元玄空先天64卦奇門遁甲  was made popular by the late grandmaster Zeng ZiNan. This method advocated the ability of the hexagram to unlock a specific QMDJ portal to achieve YiGua ChunQing 一卦純清.

 

The secrets to this method vested in the way the QMDJ portals are assigned to the 64 hexagram from as simple as assigning via HeTu configuration to a complicated "S" sequence. When this method is properly applied, results will manifest almost immediately with an unfolding phenomenon indicating that the specific portal is indeed open. Some take this as an art to activate XieZiFa 些子法.

DongZhi and the End of the World

 

Today marks the arrival of the presumed End of the World according to the Mayan Calendar, 21 December 2012, yet nothing extraordinary happened. It is proven that even though a western genius uses YiJing and map around the crucial event of the world having it ends at today, it is wrong from the very beginning as Chinese civilization does not begin in the Qing Dynasty.

 

Yet, today is an extraordinary day for the Chinese. It marks the arrival of Winter Solstice. A time in a year where the Yin Qi is of the maximum giving way to the birth of Yang Qi. An interesting write up is found in Annie’s Blog. In short, the dawn of Yang Qi where all lives hidden in hibernations are gathering momentum to grow once the Arrival of Spring kicks in.

 

In the Northern Hemisphere, the nights are longer, of which living in cold icy area is full of challenges. Nothing can grow outside, farmers resort to consume the leftover dried meats, grains and drinking ginger soups to keep the body warm. So, there was a saying, if you can live through winter, you are already one year older. Thus such simple gesture of coming together as a family reunion marks the arrival of Winter Solstice greater than the New Year. This is typical Chinese mannerism foreign to other culture. So, the Chinese nuances differ significantly between Year and Age.

 

On the note of the calendric, before the unification of China by the Qin Emperor, various segments of China practices different New Year. So to speak, there are two kinds of Calendar. One measuring the Sui, Age, whiles the other the Nian, Year. The former measures a year close to a tropical year while the latter measures a year between 12 to 13 months.

 

As for metaphysics, the arrival of GuiSi year will always be the same with the arrival of spring. Any other claims whatsoever are just novelty and usually displayed by half-cooked masters. While saying this, if one practices SanYuan QiMen and the sort, Winter Solstice which comes every 21 or 22 December will be an important marker both as Yang Dun or predisposition.

 

If ever you ever see masters reading the annual forecast using Winter Solstice BaZi as their natal chart, something must really be wrong somewhere. Similarly so, reading a QiMen or a ZiBai JiuGong chart using a LiChun date for annual forecast will inevitably cast doubt.

 

Whichever way, Yifengshui would take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy DongZhi Day!

HSBC and HongKong's Blessed FengShui

 

The recent revelation of Malaysia being the champion of illegal capital outflow is alarming. This also brought to mind the recent claimed involvement of HSBC and other international banks in money laundering transactions. Has it got to do with its HQ’s FengShui in HongKong sitting on SanSha?

 

 

 

Let us do some ground work. HongKong (HK) is also known as fragrant harbor, are known to be a land of blessed FengShui. The Qi conduits origin from KunLun, GuiLin downward to LeiYuMun returning forming the backbone of Central HK feeding Qi towards TsimShaTsui. This illustrious formation is known as the Meridian facing its Ancestors. Even though it looks as though the harbor is protected by the circle of mountains also called the Dragon’s Well, HK is notoriously known for its typhoon. Old picture of the site where HSBC HK now sits also revealed that the Backdrop Mountains are broken in form. Not until the government reclaimed part of the land narrowing the strait, indirectly widening the bright hall of the Island that sentimental Qi begins its reign over the harbor.

 

 

 

With the water mouth locked by LeiYuMun and the other miscellaneous island, the Qi does not easily leaked away. Some HK master viewed that TsimShaTsui is a potential ShaQi being pointed towards Central and the land reclamation is timely to widen the bright hall so that its effect can be diluted. The same is also apply to where HSBC HK now sits, with the plaza often occupied by Philippines domestic workers during Sunday. Yet, many misunderstood that it is also the HSBC front door facing the open plaza but can anyone actually know where is HSBC main entrance? Not surprising it is actually the “backside” of HSBC HK, as far as FengShui is concerned.

 

 

 

Contradict to normal landform believes, Central HK is actually located at the convex side of the island which is usually associated with the sickle Sha formation but yet it is a most prosperous location within HK. Something must be damn wrong again with our understanding of landform FengShui that prosperity can only be gained in the concave side of the island which is in this case, TsimShaTsui.

 

 

 

It is very difficult to read the authentic designed FengShui components of HSBC HK, because it is done so delicately embedded with its cold mechanical theme architecture. Newbies will be extremely excited with the lion statute guarding the entrances or maybe the boom gondolas placed above the roof which looked like canons as though a FengShui war has begun. These are only minor stuff. The real stuff is annexed to the void lobbies at the ground floor with its “glass net” engulfing the upper floors with 2 penetrating escalators.

 

 

 

In a country where lands are expansive, who on earth would sacrifice such a huge space indiscriminately if it is not for the sake of FengShui? One theory state that it is to allow for the dragon god to pass through from the mountain to the water to bring in prosperity for the bank. Isn’t such grandma tales contradict the very premise of “Dragon God does not go up the mountain, Dragon God does not go down the water” principle?

 

 

 

HSBC HK continues to enjoy the prosperity designed by its FengShui master whose work is not easily viewed. Anyone would easily be tricked into believing that HSCB actually sits with its back to the mountain and the front facing the sea. That is why it is easily mistaken that SanSha is the culprit to its recent crisis.

 

So next time, any FengShui master say this and that out of their sightseeing, better think twice!

Who is Yang JungSong 楊筠松?

There are 2 versions to the History of Great Grandmaster Yang JungSong. 

The first version as most of us were told, the Great Grandmaster Yang JungSong, the official historical logbook 《南安府志》 reads: “Yang JungSong 楊筠松, citizen of Dou Zhou 竇州, was an officer during the reign of Xi Zhong 僖宗. He was in charge of Spiritual and Feng Shui Affairs. He reached the highest position of Golden Purple Light Prosperity Minister 金紫光祿大夫. When rebels headed by Huang Cao 黃巢 broke into the capital city, he cut short his hair and fled to Mount Kunlun 昆侖山." 

The second version as rarely known, the Great Grandmaster Yang JungSong was never be found in the official historical records of the Historian. There was however, a very small position held by him as a prison warden. Fate has brought him to encounter a prisoner who is a well versed FengShui master. In an attempt to help this prisoner to escape, he was taught YuHan Jing. The Great Grandmaster Yang JungSong, as the warden, later shown a partly decomposed corpse to the Emperor, convincing his majesty that the deceased is indeed the FengShui master that has been condemned to death. Predicting that his deception may not last forever, he took an incident in the palace to flee to FuJian. 

Which one is the reliable version?

QiMen DunJia Bandwagon

Recently there is another bandwagon in town - QiMen DunJia (QMDJ). Gone are the days of XuanKong DaGua (XKDG), FeiXing (XKFX) and so forth. The intriguing part of it is how these informations are provided for mass consumptions. There was once said, XKDG is the principle, XKFX is the application. So, learning XKFX is insufficient without knowing XKDG. Then came the hlate grandmaster Zheng ZiNan with his famous XieZiFa. It was also said that the current XKDG known in the industry is incomplete without knowing QMDJ, were some believed, the complete system are known as XianTian (Early Heaven) QMDJ XKDG date selections. So, XKDG is actually a date selection method disguise as a FengShui method. Purpotedly QMDJ enable a more precise selction of hour within the bihour date selection of XKDG. Each of the 8 doors of QMDJ are able to unlock the respective Hexagram so that Heaven Man and Earth are able to connect. How these connect depends solely and squarely in one understanding of GuiChang LianShan Hexagram. Double up with the technique of MingShi PanXian, it is not only calculation is involved but the actual arrival of the constellations above us. It is therefore a complete "space age" systems of our forefather since FuXi prehistoric period. Can you believe that?


QMDJ is said to have been one of the highest form of art known as SanShi, with its counterpart TaiYi and LuiRen. Many did not actually know that QMDJ is only a small part of the entire QIMEN SANSHI. When it is said, there is this ultimate art called QiMen SanShi, governing the Heaven, Man and Hell (yes, not earth as many believes it to be), TaiYi ShenShu is used to open the QiMen of Heaven, DunJia is used to open the door of Man and LiuRen for the gate of Hell, its meanings are entirely different. With such you will have a totally different understanding in your approach to QMDJ. It is not just comprising the term Qi as in SanQi, the 3 wonders of Yi,Bing and Ding, Men or doors such as the 8 doors and DunJia, hiding the leader of the 6 Jia streams of JiaZi and so forth. Saying thus, predictions are only a very small part of it. Accumulating the desire energy before embarking on a crucial activities are very minor beginners approach. Understanding the 9 grids and its ingredients without knowing how to apply on a physical 3D space is what the Chinese called, organizing an army on paper instead of the battlefield.

The ultimate goal is to reverse the irreversible through what modern science called, space time wrap and parallel reality. This is XieZi? Beyond that, I am not at the liberty to disclose.

To understand DunJia, first we had to discern where the Dun comes from. Strangely not many ask why did the annual JiaZi change in the arrival of spring while the YinYang Dun change in the arrival of winter and summer? Why it is said that one Gua governs 3 seasonal nodes and a 5 days interval was used in the form of 360 days a year instead of the physical 365+ days a year? Probably, the Chinese naunce of "year" differ significantly from "age". So it makes entirely sense why some school uses the LiChun BaZi while other uses the DongZhi BaZi instead for annual predictions. The answer is one looking at the age while the other, the year. Probably, when one understand the meanings of cold and hot predispositions, one will probably understand why BaZi is read that way and it is all the building block of QMDJ. Without the throughout understanding of such, one will easily jumps into concluding that CaiBu is chaotic while JiRun is the only way to go.
Beforehand, what are these CaiBu and JiRun? The core mechanics of QMDJ is rotation. Very much liked gear, which uses a 360 spokes instead of the 365+ days. So, there is a time where intercallary is required to realign back the spoke so as to match the actual days. In this way, it will not go out of synchronicity with the solar seasons. The CaiBu manner is to dismantle, Cai and to reconstruct, Bu back the spoke. This is where it looks "chaotic". While JiRun is a calendrical science method to recalibrate the spoke when it reachess 9 days or more out of synchronicity between the spoke and the day's stem branch. One Hexagram lineage is to use both. One is to obtain a diagnosis while the other the prescription, because the essence of the Hexagram school is how it changes - Yi.

Similarly is how the 9 stars are arranged, rotational versus flying palaces. The 9 purplewhite stars groundwork are built upon the purplewhite script that stipulate that star leans, AiXing and not rotate. However, astrological sciences indicate that the star rotates above us and not leans. So which is correct? Both are indeed correct. The rotational star chart is the body and leaning star chart is the application. So are the 8 Doors, both rotational and lean at the same time. The problem is not many school discloses such techniques, especially so in applications.

Again, this bandwagon has been overly priced especially so when its franchise is coming from Taiwan. If it does not teach you to "kill" you will not learn the core of QMDJ, as to "heal". It is liked not knowing at all. A true teacher only passes this knowledge to the deserving one both in conduct and unrighteousness without a price tag. Think about it!

FengShui Basics - YinYang of the SanYuan 24 Mountains 2

.. Continue from HERE,

Apparently the compendium of LuoPan is incomplete without the explanation as to where does the YinYang of the 24 mountains of the SanYuan LuoPan originated. We take for granted that it is always there in that fashion. How the PurpleWhite stars fly are all depends on its YinYang. That is already inaccurate. The Chinese source has more details.

One common source is from the Shen's Classic stipulates that all the Yang stems are Heaven numbers for example, HeTu heavenly number 1 takes Ren water Qi and therefore Yang in nature. Earthly 6 takes Gui water Qi and therefore Yin by nature. By the same token, Yin stems are Earth numbers and assigned Yin nature.

Therefore, Jia Bing Geng Xin are all Heavenly Numbers Odd Yang in nature.
Yi Ding Xin Gui are all Earthly Numbers Even Yin in nature.

The same classic stipulates that all the Ordinal Trigrams namely Xun, Qian, Kun and Gen are all Yang in nature. The principle is annexed to the LoShu. Within the LoShu, there are HeTu. The ordinals take the following sequence:

Qian (6) and 1-6 HeTu water, 1+6=7, Odd number Yang nature.
Xun (4) and 9-4 HeTu metal, 9+4=13, Odd number Yang nature.
Kun (2) and 7-2 HeTu fire, 7+2=9, Odd number Yang nature.
Gen (8) and 3-8 HeTu wood, 3+8=11, Odd number Yang nature.

The branches are classify under the following groups:

The stable, Yin Si Shen Hai are the 4 beginning of every season. Their main Qi are respectively, Jia Bing Geng and Ren, the sub Qi are respectively Bing Geng Ren Jia with Wu in all the stables. These are all Yang stems. When each of the main Qi and sub Qi added up for each stables, it does not form combination of 10. Therefore they are Yang in nature.

The cardinals, Mao Wu You Zi are the middle of every season. Their main Qi are Yi Ding Xin and Gui respectively. All Yin stems. They forms combination of 10. Therefore they are Yin in nature.

The graveyards, Chen Wei Xu Chou are the end of every season. Their main Qi are either Wu or Ji earth. However their sub Qi are all Yin stems and therefore by virtue the graveyards are Yin in nature for its sub Qi are combination of 10 respectively.

Such is believed to have been the reasons behind the YinYang classification for the 24 mountain in the SanYuan Luopan. in reality, if you believe this is the true reason, your SanYuan applications are incomplete.

Fact, YinYang does not stem from pure numerical permutations. They are the reflections of Heaven Man and Earth. Knowing thus you will understand what a SanYuan LuoPan is designed to measure. Without a throughout understanding of such, all the other Hexagram plates are nothing more then pure decorations.

The SanHe “Lord of The Rings” 3/3– Return of The Seam Needle

As Pure Yin Pure Yang is concerned, nothing is ever mentioned about embrace. Out of the 5 verses of Dragon, Embrace, Mountain, Spot and Water, only 3 items are of the concerns. If we assumed that RuDiYan is the forerunner of SanHe, way back before the Song Dynasty predated YangGong himself, something is very wrong when among the scripts, it mentioned that the use of the 28 asterisms as in accordance to Urging Officer, ChuiGuan, the only classics that has survived from being adulterated because it really means nonsense consumed raw and credited to LaiBuYi who lives in the Song era. He is also the inventor of this so called Human Ring. 

Known also as seam needle, apparently seaming the Heaven ring to the Earth ring, it is based on the Polaris north. This ring is used extensively to govern human behavior and opportunities thus it is used to evaluate embraces with response to the spot. Historically speaking it is also known as the outer Heaven Plate. 

The LuoPan is also a tool to measure the Lateral. In this case, the fixed star of the 28 asterisms known as the lunar station is narrowed down to each singular degree representing each day. Regrouped as 60 expended and contraction dragons and be matched with another set of 24 mountains called outer Heaven Plate. Consistent with RuDiYan, this ring is annexed to the principle of “as above, so below”, an extension of Pure Yin Pure Yang. Naturally, below the asterisms, there is a set of corresponding mountains, resulted from the gravitational pull of these asterisms and the valleys are the rivers. 9 Stars school or JuiXing Pai’s flipping trigram methods or FanGua (where its offspring of 5 Ghost Carry Treasure) are born within this broad principle. 

Must the Human Ring have YinYang? For completeness, the same Earth Ring YinYang is also applied to the Human Ring and that is where it has gone so very wrong. Objectively, Human Ring has no YinYang is also incomplete. Very little has been written about this Ring. Some go to an extend to market it as another FengShui secret as YuHanJing, apparently the only book which YangGong took from the imperial library via escaping later to be handed down to his grandchildren and now inherited by another GanZhou lineage called the Lineage of YangJiuPing for a very expansive fee. YangGong being a monk has offspring is a fact needed validation. Even so, none of his other works referred to this very ring. So, again, your guess is better than mine. 

The entire collections of this article called The SanHe “Lord of The Rings are in fact, contents of some very expansive FengShui life courses. The beauty of it is it can be summarized in 3 A4 pages with font 12 now available for Free. Yet, in reality, it can be applied and it is SanHe but not the true method. Knowing this, one will understand what are taught in the west under the pretext of water methods. In reality it is just purely academic. One way to find out its authenticity is to check the so called “inherited” LuoPan. If it is not marked and corrected accordingly, it is as good as some old antics. One GanZhou grandmaster has a point, when he said, “LuoPan post Qing Dynasty are all rubbish”.

The SanHe “Lord of The Rings” 2/3– The Two Mountains

Pure Yin Pure Yang continues… 

Assuming that the sitting mountain is set against the incoming dragon, SanHe school people will establish facing to match outgoing water. SaHe concerns about outgoing water. By establishing facing, water is exiting correctly at the inauspicious sector based another approach called Later Heaven Water Formula and the remains are good Qi. Among the classics, only RuDiYan suggested that water shall exits at the auspicious sector instead. 

Later Heaven Water Formula stipulates the use of Heaven Ring, whereby it is another set of 24 mountain rings offset by 7.5 degree, presumably measuring the True North, another invention by YangGong. It is called Heaven because it is used to evaluate water base on the two mountains approach, sometimes called double mountain or ShuangShan. Water is the gifts of Heaven. Only 12 pairs of mountain are in used. The same water formula also stipulates the doctrine of 12 growth phases, which we will not discuss here, to evaluate the 12 pairs of Double Mountain, classifying them auspicious or otherwise. 

Conforming to Pure Yin Pure Yang, dragon matching sitting, facing matching water principles are derived from here. All those YiGua ChunQing or One Singular Pure Gua formations are also borrowed from here. Pure Gua here means, Pure Yin and Pure Yang. By the same token, a Yang Facing must match a Yang water exit or ingress and this call for the Heaven Plate to have its own YinYang. By the same token, it borrows from the Earth Ring’s YinYang, believing that such is in compliance to Pure Yin Pure Yang and this is where it has gone so very wrong! 

By extension, Earth Principles 5 Verses stipulates YinYang flow will determine the manner in which 12 growth phases are assigned to the 12 double mountains thus rendered the YinYang of Heaven Plate not applicable. Thus the YinYang of Heaven plate refers to the Yin or Yang flow and not the YinYang double mountains. One grandmaster of GanZhou often uses this classic example to mock inexperience master who had attempted to design their own LuoPan. He advocated that Heaven Plate has no YinYang and this is also where it has gone so very wrong! 

In summary the Two Mountains are in reference to the Heaven Plate. Together with the Earth Plate, it completes the SanHe LuoPan according to the orthodox YangGong School. By the same token, establishing sitting is based on magnetic north while establishing facing is based on true north. Some years ago, the similar question has raised heated arguments among “egg heads” resulted in this article, click HERE. Thus, Yang Facing matching Yang water,  the sacred Pure Yin Pure Yang is conformed. This is absolutely crap!
