Section 525 Feng Shui Ancient City
Xiao Fei inadvertently looked through the transparent window of the flying saucer and said to us excitedly: "Look, everyone, the ancient city of Langzhou is below." Hu Jiaojiao also hurriedly looked down, and said with great interest: "This ancient city of Langzhou is really beautiful, too special, too different, really unique, really worthy of the name, from the sky from afar are particularly eye-catching, like a capital ink landscape painting, beautiful, three sides of the river hugging the city outline, surrounded by mountains lock smoke." The situation of the mountains and rivers is unique, the mountains and rivers are integrated, and the feng shui is particularly good. “
Xiao Fei couldn't help but gush endlessly: "It's true, the feng shui culture of the ancient city of Langzhong is unique. Langzhong is located at the northern edge of the Sichuan Basin, the middle reaches of the Jialing River, which is formed by the intersection of the Daba Mountains, the Jianmen Mountains and the Jialing River water system to form a tightly entangled and protected place. The site of the city is selected according to the theory of ancient Chinese feng shui, which is very in line with the imagery of the four geographical disciplines, namely dragon, sand, cave and water, and is known as the four most well-preserved ancient cities in China with Lijiang in Yunnan, Pingyao in Shanxi and Shexian in Anhui. Compared with other ancient cities, Langzhong is also known for its peculiar feng shui, its city location, layout are in line with the traditional Chinese feng shui theory, is the perfect combination of dragon, sand, hole, water and direction in the traditional Chinese feng shui, is a rare Langyuan fairyland, feng shui treasure. During the period of Tang Wude and Zhenguan, Li Lingkui, the son of Gaozu Li Yuan, the king of Lu, and Li Yuanying, the king of Teng, were successively divided into Langzhou, and the two kings "imitated Chang'an", and guided by the feng shui theory of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, built the palace garden, built the twelfth floor of the five cities, and the Langyuan of the reputation. As a generation of feng shui masters, Yuan and Li had a crucial influence on the feng shui pattern of the ancient city of Langzhong after the Tang Dynasty. After the Tang Dynasty, the ancient city of Langzhong was completely designed in accordance with the complete and mature feng shui theory formed by Yuan and Li, and basically had today's pattern, making it more organically integrated with the natural mountains and rivers. “
Brother Yixiu asked curiously: "What is the theory of feng shui, I have never heard of it, I would like to hear it in detail, can Brother Xiaofei explain it to me in detail?"
Xiao Fei said unhurriedly: "Feng Shui theory has a long history and is a traditional theory of the composition of the living environment in ancient China, including the site selection, planning and design of cities and other buildings, which is a system of its own. Feng Shui culture focuses on the relationship between specific residential behaviors such as site selection, village layout, landscape layout, house construction, door and window opening, bed placement, furniture furnishing and environmental beautification, and personal destiny and family rise and fall, which belongs to a residential culture. From the architecture of the ancient city of Langzhong, we can clearly see that the ancients paid attention to the foundation in the selection of the site, the frame was neat, the star-shaped end was solemn, the weather was majestic, the sand protection was neat, and the walls were meticulous in the construction of the house, the four walls were bright, the patio was bright and clean, and the doors and windows were opened, and the doors and windows were opened. In ancient times, people were very cautious in the choice of city sites, and the "Book of Songs" in the "Daya Gong Liu" chapter recorded that the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty, Gong Liu, led the people to move to Xunyi County, Shaanxi Province in the 15th century BC, and chose the site to build the city. The gist is: Gongliu climbed the mountain to inspect the terrain and saw that the hundred springs in the south of the hill flowed through, flat and habitable. On this plain, there are tall mountains in the north to block the cold current in the north, and there are mountains in the distance in the south, which is dangerous. The east and west sides of the ear mountain winding and undulating, the mountain is surrounded by water, the water and soil are intact, can avoid floods, prevent drought, and prevent war. It is suitable for farming, defends against danger, and is a good place to build a capital and establish a city. So Gong Liu decided to move people here to lay the foundation for the prosperity of the Zhou people.
This is an early record of the ancients using the theory of feng shui to choose a site and build a city. With the development of the times, the relationship between Feng Shui doctrine and architectural theory has become more and more close, and many mystical colors have been added. For example, the mountain shape is compared to the dragon vein, and the water potential is compared to the blood vein, and then a complete theoretical system is formed, including the site selection theory of "dragon, sand, hole, water, and direction". Under the influence of the concept of feng shui, whether it is Beijing, Nanjing and other large states and countries, or the villages and houses where ordinary people live, they have expressed great concern about the location of the site.
Lang Yinlang, "Sayings" explained: Lang, the door is high. The meaning and shape of the word form a pictographic relationship with the topography and water conditions in Langzhong. According to the Northern Song Dynasty's "Taiping Huanyu Ji", it is recorded that Langzhong, its mountains are four in the county, so it is called Langzhong. "Zizhi Tongjian: Han Ji Forty-two" contains: Langshui meanders, through its three sides, the county lives in it, and takes its name. As the ancient book says about the origin of its place name, the ancient city of Langzhong is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the water surrounds three directions, and the mountains and rivers are all in the winding trend of the dragon, which is vivid and vivid, and it is indeed extraordinary. According to the professional vision of Feng Shui, the Geography Bureau of the Ancient City of Langzhong is naturally and perfectly equipped with the so-called five geographical tips of dragon, cave, sand, water and direction. To be more specific, the remnant of the Daba Mountain Panlong Mountain, which originates from the ancestral vein of Kunlun Mountain in China, is the dragon of Langzhong, which is escorted by the water of the Jialing River all the way, forming a natural barrier in the north of the city, and is the backing mountain; Under the protection of the sand mountains such as Baita Mountain and Daxiang Mountain, the city hugs the outline, surrounds the ancient city on three sides, and forms a huge U-shaped ring belt from the water outlet on the east side of Panlong Mountain, which naturally forms the feng shui place surrounded by Lishui Chengyuan and Jincheng. The main point of the ancient city of Langzhong is selected at the junction of Lailong Panlong Mountain, which is now the northeast of the playground of Langzhong Middle School, and is the center of urban feng shui. After receiving the dragon here, the front is according to the case mountain, Jinping Mountain is located on the south bank of the Jialing River, facing the scene with the city, it is the case mountain in Langzhong, the sand mountain on the left, middle and right sides is guarded by the arch, the mountain is facing the mountain, Huanghua Mountain, etc. is Yuxiu Zhongling, verdant and cascading. The whole area is magnificent and extraordinary, which can be called a rare feng shui treasure in the world, so that the feng shui surveyors of all dynasties are full of excitement and forget to return. Duan Gongzi's eyebrows danced, beaming with joy, and said with pity: "Brother Xiaofei, I have also read this feng shui book about Langzhou you said, and I won't be able to think of the name for a while, it is indeed well written, reasonable, and interested partners can go and take a look." Xiao Fei involuntarily blurted out: "I read too many books and too miscellaneous, I can't say it for a while, when I think about it, I'll tell you, it's indeed a rare good book that can't be missed." ”
Garfield said thoughtfully: "According to Brother Xiaofei, such a treasure of feng shui, rare in the world, unparalleled in the world, why haven't you heard of any real dragon emperor, it seems that it is just hearsay and exaggeration." ”
Xiao Fei shook his head and said, "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, originally this place was going to produce the true dragon emperor, but the following things happened,." ——According to the record of "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books": Tang Zhenguan was a hopeful person who spoke Taizong, observed astronomy, observed the sky at night, and found that there was a royal qi thousands of miles away in the southwest. Taizong ordered Yuan Tiangang to measure the king's qi, from Chang'an to Sichuan, to Langzhong, and saw that Lingshan was saggy, and the good atmosphere was lush, and its veins were in the saddle of the small Panlong Mountain of the Panlong Mountain system. Yuan Tiangang chiseled the stone veins here, the water flowed like blood, and the people of Langzhong called its place a sawing mountain. This sawing mountain pass is still there today, and there were defenders of the city who set up a pass here, also known as the saw mountain pass. So the dragon vein was broken, and naturally there was no real dragon emperor. ”
Brother Yixiu said involuntarily; I see, what a pity. ”
Duan Gongzi also nodded thoughtfully and said, " Indeed, if the dragon vein continues, I don't know how history will change, it is really reverie, and it is even more incredible, what is unexpected is that it is this ancestor of the dragon vein in Langzhong who is chiseled by the holy decree to cut off the dragon vein, the feng shui master, came to Langzhong again in the fifth year of Gaozong Yonghui (654 AD), and built a platform to watch the sky in Panlong Mountain, and then entered the Tiangong Township in the southwest of Langzhong along the ancient road of Longshan Station, which is located between Langzhong and the south, because of its geographical pattern is broad, the feng shui is overwhelming, like the spiritual land of the fairy family, so he settled here, and was buried in Guanjia Mountain。 Yuan's best friend, another feng shui master of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chunfeng, also entered Langzhong in the first year of Gaozong's Xianqing - 656 A.D. along the Golden Bull Ancient Road of the Sword Pavilion, pursuing the feng shui treasure found by his close friend Yuan Tiangang, and later settled in Langzhong Tiangong Township, and was buried in Wulitai after his death, facing the tomb of Yuan Tiangang of Guanjia Mountain, and the history of Chinese feng shui was uploaded as a wonder through the ages. So I have to say that this place is a treasure of feng shui. ”
