KanYu has never meant to be used as an art for counter measures. Neither has it been used to wade of Bad Qi. The saying thus, avoiding the bad ushering the good, is a Chinese mindset that has found its way to the art of KanYu. The root of KanYu is on the understanding of Change and not opposing change. On this ground where would one sees counter measures as the remedy for KanYu?
The key of KanYu is on the understanding of receiving Qi. Some term it better as riding Qi. But of all, the closest as I understood is dissolving Qi. There is nothing good or bad. The term good or bad stems out from the phases of Qi as it transforms itself. Be it external or internal. The essence of Yi never perceives perversion or avoidance as a means of a natural order. Going with the flow is and not confronting it. With no confrontation and no avoidance, then how would KanYu deals with the bad Qi? Simple, let it be and dissolving it. Understanding this, one will see that all locations are blessed.
HETU and LOSHU both represent the vertical and horizontal aspect of Qi, some classics referring it as the map and the book. It is true that XuanKong that we know of used the understanding of the vertical to apply for the horizontal that is where we understand the notion of activation of Qi. In truth, it is far more then these. In the understanding of the old school of YuanKong, change is the only constant in the universe, not the other way around. Knowing this liked the saying goes, everyday is Spring. Do you still need to tilt the door?
Remember, thing that moves up must come down. Whatever moves move and whatever still remains still. This is the essence of Yi. As the saying echoes: -
The Golden Dragon, Longitude and Latitude even though come with different meaning,
Does it move or does it not move, all depend on the Master to apply.
