"Mr. Wang, can this place meet the above requirements?"

Wu Ming asked with some expectation.

Wang Zhong observed carefully for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly. The article is made by nature, and the magic hand is even obtained, and the same is true for a good feng shui treasure!

Yuyuan Village has a natural Taiji River, which can cooperate with the architecture of the day after tomorrow to form a pattern of 28 stars!

Pei Bai Village is surrounded by natural Jiufeng Ridge, Pei Bai Village is located in Jinji Ridge, Fengling Ridge, Fengbei Ridge, Shapoling Ridge, Daxi Ridge, Xiaoxi Ridge, Hulu Ridge, Tieniu Ridge and Tiger Ridge in the embrace of nine soil ridges. There is a tall cypress on each soil ridge, which is called "Nine Phoenix Chaoyang". The village Qianfang comes to the dragon, sits on the noon, there is an official star towering in front, the back is the dragon of the Taihang Mountain, and the waist water is surrounded by the Yellow River. The formation of the pattern of nine phoenixes and the rising sun, in cooperation with the construction of the day after tomorrow, there is today's Chinese Prime Minister Village!

"Mr. Wang, there have been 59 prime ministers, 59 generals, 36 jinshi, 6 champions, 5 queens and princesses, and more than 1,000 officials above the third grade, how much role does feng shui have in it?"

Wu Ming asked with a serious face. This question has been in his heart for a long time, and the Pei family's education is very famous, self-improvement, and tenacious struggle. "Emphasizing education and discipline, advocating literature and martial arts, promoting both morality and industry, and being honest and self-disciplined" are the main characteristics of Pei's family style. Pei's family once had a family rule, and those whose descendants failed to pass the examination were not allowed to enter the gate of the ancestral hall, and strictly followed the principle of "jade is not cut, it is not a weapon, and people do not teach, and they do not know righteousness". Pei Bai Village still retains the tradition of attaching importance to education, almost every door has the big characters of "farming and reading heirlooms", and there are no children below junior high school who do not go to school. Since the reform and opening up, more than 30 people in the village have been admitted to universities!

In Wu Ming's opinion, this is the main reason why Pei Baicun can get out of so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but to say that feng shui has nothing to do with it, it is impossible!

After all, it is not only the Pei family that cultivates and reads heirlooms, but there is only one prime minister village in the country!

After all, it is a profound culture accumulated in China's feudal society for thousands of years, and it can be said that it is a kind of human spiritual culture that includes many disciplines such as psychological emotion, ideological education, architectural culture, social life, and natural science.

Why does Feng Shui say that we should have the back of the mountain and the water seat facing the north and facing the south? Facing the water, it is convenient for people to get water in their lives. Water is the most basic need for human survival. When a flash flood breaks out and the flood overflows, you can avoid the flood because of the high terrain. The climate of China is more southeast wind in summer and autumn, and northwest wind in winter and spring. From here we can see that Feng Shui is following the science of architecture and the science of nature.

Looking at the Jiufeng Chaoyang feng shui pattern in Pei Bai Village, people will often talk about it, which will give hints or stimulation to the people who live here in the depths of their minds, and even make them gain a sense of honor. According to logical reasoning, such feng shui will definitely produce big people. All those who live here think of it this way. It will be very helpful for them to establish their lofty ideals in life, and it will help to strengthen their firm belief that their ideal goals can be achieved. Ambition and conviction are the spiritual traits necessary for the success of outstanding people. Ordinary people often do not have lofty goals and firm beliefs in the future, so many things dare not think or do, lack of firm beliefs, lofty goals are easy to gradually wear out in the frustrations of real life, and with firm beliefs, they will become more and more courageous, and will not give up.

So from that point of view. Feng Shui conforms to the laws of ideology, education, and psychology. Let's take a look at good feng shui is always in a place where the mountains and rivers are beautiful. In fact, we all know that where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, it is very important that the water and soil are good, as long as the water and soil contain various minerals that human beings need. Then the people who grow up here will also be healthy, energetic, and very handsome and chic. And these conditions will provide the necessary material and network foundation for a person in the process of studying, working, and struggling in life in the future. Good mountains and good aquatic beauties, beautiful women marry into princesses, and lead their brothers into careers; Junlang jumped into a colt and had a backer for success. Like Pei Bai Village, Shanxi, Gu Yanwu, a thinker in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, summarized three important points for their success. That is, marriage, hereditary and self-improvement. In the history of the Pei family, there have been a total of 95 people with horses, queens, princesses, princesses, princesses, and shadow raiders. The feudal nepotism formed by marriage and hereditary inheritance is undoubtedly a superior condition for Pei's characters to show their prominence. This is the law of social life and natural science that Feng Shui follows. ”

In fact, the place with the mountains and rivers in the background and the beautiful mountains and rivers is also conducive to the development of children's free will and the self-cultivation of adults. There are mountains and rivers, which is conducive to children to play to their heart's content, go up the mountain to dig birds' eggs, go into the water to catch fish, climb the mountain in spring, boat on the small lake in summer, fish in the lake in autumn, and climb and ski in winter. For adults, being in such green mountains and green waters, they will inevitably be able to "often drive a light boat and swing carefully, leisurely Longfeng Lake, and its realm is far away...... Occasionally, the name of the tea and the lake water, the thousands of wisdom of the good water, a little gradual enlightenment......" or "the wind and clouds rise, the ancient and modern history, the sound of the wind and into the fairyland; listen to the sound of the water, understand the wisdom of thousands of people, with the flowing water and turn into meditation!", but also back to the mountains and water, Tibetan wind and gather qi, occupy the treasure of feng shui, the aura of the landscape, the dragon vein auspicious gathering, in a very beautiful mood of self-cultivation, enough to penetrate the ancient and modern philosophical wisdom, insight into the people's hearts and affairs of the present world! Unsatisfactory, but as long as we return to this beautiful home, such a beautiful scene will inevitably make our mood return to tranquility and serenity, and absorb spiritual power to deal with the troubles encountered in work and life one by one with the wisdom of ancient and modern times.

Therefore, those who live in such a precious place will surely acquire wisdom, courage, faith, virtue, benevolence, righteousness, and other qualities and wisdom! If you retreat, you will hide in the mountains and rivers and participate in Zen and enlightenment; if you enter, you will fight the world and make great achievements! If you occasionally strayed into Shilin, you should also climb the steps step by step; if you have the heart to fight in the business sea, you will definitely be able to stand at the head of the tide! From here, you can see that Feng Shui is following multiple laws such as psychology, education, and self-cultivation. ”。

Wang Zhong used scientific dialectical thinking to deeply analyze the role and limitations of Feng Shui from various aspects such as humanities and geography. It makes people have a feeling of brightness in the eyes and a sense of heartfelt pride!

"And how should this place be built?"

Wu Ming nodded, agreeing with Wang Zhong's argument, and then asked urgently.

"There is no Taiji-shaped river here, and there is no pattern shaped like nine phoenixes, whether it is the Taiji star pattern. It's still not suitable for the Jiufeng Chaoyang pattern!"

Wang Zhong denied without hesitation.

"Fortunately, there are eight hills around here, and the location is very consistent with the gossip map, we can learn from the pattern of Zhuge Bagua Village for layout!"

Wang Zhong said confidently.

"Zhuge Bagua Village?"

Wu Ming asked with some surprise.

"Yes, Zhuge Bagua Village!"

Wang Zhong nodded affirmatively.

"But it has something to do with Zhuge Liang?"

Wu Ming asked with some curiosity.

"All the families in Zhuge Bagua Village are facing each other, their backs are dependent on each other, and the lanes are vertical and horizontal, like a maze. It is said that after Zhuge Dashi (Zhuge Liang's twenty-eighth grandson) settled down in Gaolong, he used the knowledge of Yin and Yang Kanyu (commonly known as Feng Shui) that he learned to conceive according to the nine palace gossip. The layout of the entire Bagua Village is carefully designed: with the bell pond as the core, eight alleys radiate outwards to form the inner Bagua, and the wonderful thing is that there are just eight hills outside the village, forming an encircling trend and forming an outer Bagua. The houses in the village are distributed in eight alleys, although after hundreds of years, the people are thriving, and more and more houses are built, but the overall layout of the Nine Palaces Bagua has not changed. Reputedly. This is the first village in China with a Bagua layout. When you come to this strange village, if you close your eyes and point casually, you will point to a house that is more than 100 years old. The location and topographic map of Zhuge Village Bagua Village, there are eight mountains outside. The outer gossip is formed, and the inner gossip is centered on the bell pond to form the inner gossip. ”

Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"Hasn't this village been visited by war?

Wu Ming said in some surprise, not far away. Even during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the villages that were burned and destroyed do not know how many people there were.

"During the Northern Expedition in 1925, the troops of Xiao Jinguang of the Southern National Revolutionary Army and the troops of warlord Sun Chuanfang fought fiercely for three days near Zhuge Village. No bullets or shells fell into the village, and the whole village was unharmed. During the Anti-Japanese War, a group of Japanese soldiers passed by Gaolonggang Avenue outside the village, but they did not find this village. The buildings in the village are all facing each other, with their backs to each other, and the lanes are vertical and horizontal, which seem to be open but closed. Outsiders rush into the village, and if there is no acquaintance to lead the way, they often cannot enter. It is said that there were thieves who had infiltrated and could not find a way out, so they were caught. Most of the descendants of Zhuge make a living by dealing in medicinal materials, and young and middle-aged people have been away for a long time, and fire prevention, waterproofing and theft prevention at home are particularly important. Therefore, many ancillary facilities are set up in the building design to strengthen emergency protection. Most of the gable is a horse-head wall, about 1 meter higher than the normal wall, so that even if the neighbor catches fire, it will not spread over. Fire-fighting facilities such as water tanks and pools are generally installed in the hospital, and once a fire breaks out, it can be extinguished immediately. In order to prevent floods, the hospital generally has relatively complete drainage facilities, which are precise and practical. It is precisely because of this reason that Zhuge Bagua Village has not been destroyed for more than 700 years, which is also the fundamental reason why many ancient buildings have been preserved!"

Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"So amazing?"

Wu Ming said in disbelief.

"Zhuge Liang's descendants didn't go out of business, but did the medicinal herb business!"

The Zhuge family adheres to the teachings of the ancestor Zhuge Liang, "not for good looks, but for good doctors", they carefully manage the traditional Chinese medicine industry, and the good medicines they make are sold well all over the country, and they have accumulated a lot of wealth. ”

Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"Zhuge Bagua Village is indeed the first strange village in China, and it has at least three strange villages:

The bell pool of Zhuge Bagua Village is first of all strange: most of the villagers are the descendants of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu more than 1,700 years ago. In other words, almost all the people in the village are surnamed Zhuge or women who marry into the Zhuge family, and only a very small number are not members of the Zhuge family. According to the statistics of the Seventh National Zhuge Liang Academic Symposium (held in Zhuge Bagua Village on October 13, 1993), there are about 16,000 descendants of Zhuge Liang in China, and a quarter (about 4,000 people) live in Zhuge Bagua Village alone, which can be called the first in China.

Secondly, this village is also strange in its layout is exquisite and mysterious, looking down from the sky, the whole village is in the shape of gossip, and the distribution of houses and streets and alleys happens to coincide with the gossip array of Zhuge Liang's Nine Palaces written in history.

Third, a large number of ancient buildings and cultural relics of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties have been completely preserved here (the oldest is more than 700 years ago). More than 700 years of dynastic changes, social turmoil, wars, I don't know how many famous Chinese buildings, ancient temples, gardens and pavilions, or burned in the war, or destroyed in natural disasters, but this big village is like a paradise, away from the war, to avoid natural disasters, to avoid man-made disasters. ”

"Does this have anything to do with Feng Shui?"

"Maybe there is, maybe not!

Wang Zhong thought about it and said with a little mystery.

"The site selection of ancient Chinese villages must meet the functional requirements of life, safety, accommodation and beautification.

First of all, the village is not only a place of residence, but also a farming base, and its site needs to have water sources for drinking and living, lanes running through the village, fertile arable land, and mountains and forests for felling, which not only meet the needs of life, but also meet the requirements of production.

Secondly, it is people's yearning and pursuit to live and work in peace and contentment, and the location of the village must not only avoid natural disasters, but also prevent foreign disturbances.

Thirdly, in order to follow the clan concept of reproduction and prosperity of descendants, the site selection of the village is required to be open and flat, and the main sites are connected to meet the needs of future generations to expand and extend the land.

Finally, the place selected by the village should be beautiful with beautiful mountains and rivers, rich vegetation, beautiful scenery in all seasons, and pleasing to the eye. Zhuge Bagua Village can be called a model of an ideal environment for human habitation in terms of topography, landform, hydrology, climate, vegetation, orientation, landscape, etc. Directly north of the village is Tianchi Mountain, which is the birthplace of Shiling Creek, which flows through the east of the village.

All dwellings, if there is flowing water on the left is called the green dragon, if there is a long road on the right is called the white tiger, there is a pond in front of it is called the red bird, and there are hills in the back called it Xuanwu, with such a geographical environment is the most expensive place in feng shui. The overall pattern of Zhuge Village has Shiling Creek on the left, Gaolong City on the right, no leakage pond in front, and Gaolonggang in the back, and its topography and landform are the feng shui pattern of the "four spirits guarding the center" of Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu. Regardless of feng shui, the natural environment of Zhuge Village is also very ideal: "There is a tower in front, a barrier in the back, left and right, and four mountains in a loop." There is no open land on the ground, the fields are even strange, and they are flat and flat; Swim and communicate, gushing endlessly. Villages become towns, and merchants come and go. …… The mountain can be wooden, the water can be fished, the rock can be climbed, the spring can be drawn, the temple can be visited, the pavilion can be considerable, the field can be cultivated, the city can be easy, and the scenery of the four seasons is also prepared. ("Yongchang Zhao Family Genealogy.Preface") such natural conditions can not only block the cold wave in the north, but also avoid the damage of floods, production and life are very favorable. The shape of the village, which resembles "grapes", symbolizes the reproduction of the descendants of the Zhuge family for generations, like grapes and fruits, endlessly. (To be continued......)
