Chapter 425: The Pattern of the Nine Phoenix Chaoyang, the Magical Chinese Prime Minister's Village!
"Mr. Wang, you are worthy of being a well-known feng shui master in the sea, and your eyesight is really good!"
Wu Ming praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Mr. Wu, can you take me to see the address now?"
Wang Zhong said with some expectation.
"I have to go to the site to investigate before I can design the drawings!"
"Good!"
Wu Ming now has no doubts about Wang Zhong's level, and seeing that Wang Zhong is eager to see the site, he didn't shirk and happily agreed!
Accompanied by Wu Ming, Wang Zhong came to the hill that had been selected in advance, which was a huge valley and flat land, surrounded by hills and lush vegetation.
At first glance, it is a treasure land with good feng shui, and it is no wonder that Wu Ming has the confidence to make this place a tourist business card!
Wang Zhong looked into the distance and found an interesting phenomenon, there are eight hills around, which just coincides with the palace of gossip!
It's a natural gossip valley!
No wonder Wu Ming has the confidence to make this a tourist attraction!
"Mr. Wang, although I don't understand it, but I see that the surrounding mountains are secretly in line with the gossip theory, can I build this place into a gossip city?"
Wu Ming asked with some excitement.
Bagua City is the Yellow Cliff Zhengguan, because there is "Bagua Street" in the city and gets its name. It is the location of the Great Wall government office and storage. It is bordered by the River in the east and the Wangmao Mountain in the west. It is built with the topography of the mountain, in the shape of an irregular knife handle, and is composed of three parts: the urn city, the outer city and the inner city from east to west. The east, west and south sides of the city wall are provided with the thoroughfare gate and the city tower, and the north city wall does not set up the city gate because of the need for defense, and the North Pole Pavilion is built on the city platform. The difference in ground height between the inner and outer city is 4 meters, and a gate is set up at the south and north ends to pass through the inside and outside. The streets in the city are not made of chessboard layout, and are composed of dozens of dead alleys, live alleys, and dislocation of Ding heads, which is called "Bagua Street". Walking through it, it gives people a sense of confusion and mystery.
Wang Zhong did not answer immediately. Instead, he watched quietly, not only does the construction of Bagua City require a suitable geography, but also the planner must be proficient in Yili, and the most important thing is that it takes time, so it is said that Tex Bagua City is not built by a generation. Bagua City first appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty, one of the seven sons of Taoism Quanzhen, the leader of the Longmen sect "Changchun Zhenren" Qiu Chuji was invited by Genghis Khan to go to the Western Regions to teach the Great Khan the strategy of governing the country and helping the people and the way of immortality.
He spent three years traveling west to the Tianshan Mountains, and was moved by the Turks River Valley, which integrates the strength of the mountains, the suppleness of the river, and the prosperity of the water. Therefore, he took this place as the feng shui core of the "Bagua City", and determined the four directions of Kanbei, Linan, Zhendong, and Duxi. From now on. This is the most primitive prototype of Turks Bagua City.
700 years later, in the winter of 1936, Qiu Zongjun, the father-in-law of Sheng Shicai, who was proficient in "Yi" theory, was transferred to the post of envoy and commander of the garrison, and discovered this prototype when he visited Turks to investigate. Subsequently, Qiu Zongjun personally designed the Bagua City map.
This town that embodies the cultural connotation of the Book of Changes and the peculiar mystery of the Bagua has a central Bagua Cultural Square as the Tai Chi "Yin and Yang" two instruments, and stretches out eight main streets at the same distance and at the same angle according to the Bagua direction, each main street is 1,200 meters long, and there is a ring road connecting the eight main streets every 360 meters or so, and there are four ring roads from the center to the outside. There are 8 streets in the 1st Ring Road, 16 streets in the 2nd Ring Road, 32 streets in the 3rd Ring Road, and 64 streets in the 4th Ring Road. These streets form 64 hexagrams according to the direction of the eight trigrams, which fully reflects the mathematics of the I Ching of 64 hexagrams and 386 hexagrams. In order to prevent people from getting lost, directions are posted on each street. Bagua City is near Pok Oi Hospital. Centered on Pok Oi Hospital.
It is also because of this unique architectural style that there is a strange thing about the Bagua City: there is not a single traffic light on the city road. According to both experts and scholars, yì. Since the roads are connected and connected, there will be no traffic jams and road jams for a county, and vehicles and pedestrians can reach their destinations no matter which direction they go.
In addition to the lack of traffic lights, there is also a strange thing about Bagua City, that is, it is easy to make outsiders "turn". It is said that an out-of-town driver, Yan zhòng, was overloaded. After the car arrived at Bagua City, I realized that I might run into traffic police on the street. So, he took advantage of the night to choose a path that he thought was out of the way. Take a detour to the center near the Bagua Cultural Square. With the help of the light, he saw a traffic policeman on duty in front of him from a distance, and he was so frightened that he turned around urgently and prepared to bypass. When he took a chance and went around from other roads to the front, he saw that there were still traffic police in front of him. He "sneakily" detoured from another road, and this time the detour was longer and more circles, but no matter how he detoured, he just couldn't avoid the "annoying" traffic police. He continued to circle without believing in "evil", and in this way he went around more and more each time, and went farther and farther each time, and in the end he couldn't remember how many times he went around, and the "confused" driver went around all night. The next day, exhausted, he told his "encounter" to his peers, which turned out to be a joke that quickly spread throughout the county. In fact, this "dizzy" driver saw the traffic police at the intersection of the central gossip culture square one night.
Wang Zhong observed carefully for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head, all the conditions of this land met the requirements of Bagua City, but the area was too small.
You must know that in order to build Bagua City at that time, not only Russian experts were invited, but also a large number of manpower were dispatched to cooperate, and even because there was no rope, the county magistrate assigned someone to buy bundles of cloth from the merchant shop, tear them into strips of cloth, and connect them to long strips of cloth rope, and then use 20 oxen to pull the plow to plow out the prototype of the streets of Bagua City.
The area around the county seat of Turks is the grassland of Mongolian herdsmen at that time, there are three small rivers in the northwest direction, and there are many springs gushing all year round, the pasture grass is lush in summer, it can grow more than one person high, it is indeed a place where water and grass are abundant. And the terrain is open, extending in all directions, here is backed by the undulating, majestic Wusun Mountain, and the front is on the edge of the turbulent Turks River with water loop.
Human and financial resources can be solved, and now that science and technology are so developed, it will only be more accurate than before!
But this is a valley, the transportation is not convenient, and the area is narrow, there is no way to build it on the scale of Bagua City!
"Mr. Wu, the area of this place is too small, there is no way to spread it out according to the drawings!"
After Wang Zhong watched it, and visually measured the area of the entire valley floor, he said helplessly.
"What if the whole valley were widened?"
"As long as we dig up the mountains around us, there will be a land of Ayuterx here!"
Wu Ming asked helplessly.
"No, these eight hills are naturally formed, and if they are explored, they will definitely hurt the dragon veins. It's not good for the feng shui here!"
Wang Zhong decisively rejected Wu Ming's suggestion, in his opinion, Wu Ming's construction is to kill chickens and take eggs, and the gains outweigh the losses!
"What should I do, how about the construction according to the pattern of the Taiji Star Village?"
Wu Ming seemed to have really put in a lot of effort, and opened his mouth to say.
The Taiji Star Village was designed and built by Liu Bowen, the founding strategist of the Ming Dynasty, according to the arrangement of the celestial stars and the "Twelve Zodiac Signs and Twenty-eight Constellations". There are 1,027 ancient buildings in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The wood carving, brick carving, and stone carving in the ancient building are exquisite and ingenious. At the entrance of the village, there is a giant Taiji diagram covering an area of 120 acres. There are "Seven Star Ponds" and "Seven Star Wells" in the village. Yuyuan Village has a profound cultural heritage, and the cultural landscape is closely integrated with the natural landscape, which is a classic relic of the ancient feng shui "unity of heaven and man".
Viewed from the high vantage point of Mengshan Gang behind Yuyuan Village, a mountain stream flows from the southeast of the village and crosses the village in an east-west direction. Until the foot of the mountain in the west of the village, it turns north to the entrance of the village, and flows to the fields outside the village in an "S" shape. The "S" shaped stream is exactly the boundary between yin and yang, dividing the field into "Tai Chi and Two Yi". The ancient trees of "Yinyu" in the south of the river are towering to the sky, and the existing highway passes through the fish's eye; the "Yangyu" rice in the north of the river is golden, and the dryland crops are planted at the fish's eye. According to instrumental measurements, the diameter of the Taijitu is 320 meters and the area is 8 hectares. Reputedly. The Taiji diagram is placed on the north entrance of the village, one can block the cold air and "evil qi" in the north, and the other is like a "gas dam" to prevent the auspicious qi of the village from leaking out.
Experts found out after research. The layout of the residents of Yuyuan Village is arranged according to the ancient Chinese astronomical chart "Tiangang 28 Sutras, surrounded by the 12 zodiac signs", which is exactly the same as the arrangement of the astrological map unearthed in the Liao tomb in 1974. The Taiji diagram at the entrance of the village is the "Pisces Palace" that surrounds Yuyuan Village, and the eleven hills around the village just form the "Zodiac Palace". The 28 ancient buildings in the village are arranged according to the directions of the Seven Houses of Canglong in the East, the Seven Houses of Xuanwu in the North, the Seven Houses of the White Tiger in the West, and the Seven Houses of the Vermilion Bird in the South. The Seven Reservoirs (also known as the "Seven Star Ponds") are arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, forming the layout of the "Twenty-eight Nights of Tiangang". What's even more ingenious is that the Yu clan ancestral hall located in the "Kui" house, the head of the "White Tiger" in the West, happens to be contained in the "bucket" of the Big Dipper.
There are still many mysteries in Yuyuan Taiji Star Village. Since Liu Bowen set up the Taiji River for Yuyuan to change the river, what is amazing is that for more than 600 years, Yuyuan Village has been free from drought and flood, and the village is rich and prosperous, not only in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also 293 people, such as Shangshu, Dafu, Futai, Zhixian, Jinshi, and Juren; there are more than 100 ancient poems written about Yuyuan. Song Qian, Zhang Yi, Su Pingzhong, Feng Menglong, Ling Mengchu and other famous artists have an indissoluble bond with Yu Yuan, Ming Hanlin academician Su Pingzhong wrote Yu Yuan Jieshan Lou Ji was included in the "Siku Quanshu", and many stories about Yu Yuan were compiled into "The Surprise of the Second Moment Shooting" and "Chinese Love History". Yu Yuan also produced painters, calligraphers, and medical artists, and was considered to be a "treasure land of feng shui" for outstanding people. ”
Wang Zhong thought for a while, and instantly understood what Wu Ming wanted to express. He hopes to build a feng shui treasure that can be compared to the outstanding people of Taiji Star Elephant Village.
Perhaps his ultimate goal is to build a new prime minister's village in China!
This Prime Minister's Village is really amazing!
A small mountain village with a population of no more than 1,000 people has produced 59 prime ministers. In the 289 years of the Tang Dynasty, an average of one prime minister came out of here every 17 years. It is a great wonder of Chinese civilization. This is Pei Bai Village.
Pei Bai Village is a very magical village, where it is surrounded by green mountains on three sides, surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by green trees and surrounded by a small village with a population of less than 1,000 people since ancient times, there is a Pei family in the village is a famous family in the history of Chinese feudal society, and a large number of talents.
From the Qin and Han dynasties to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, this family has cultivated 59 prime ministers, and there are more than 3,000 officials above the seventh grade. What is even more noteworthy is that among the more than 3,000 officials, there have never been any corrupt officials, which is unimaginable in feudal society. For this reason, Pei Bai Village is known as "the first village of Chinese celebrities" and "the village of Chinese prime ministers".
In Wang Zhong's view, in addition to the unique education and culture of Pei Bai Village, the key to tracing the reason for the long-term prosperity of the Pei family lies in their emphasis on education and strict family style. The feudal society was in constant war, and the emperor took the rank of the emperor according to the size of the military exploits, but among the many eunuchs of the Pei family, the vast majority of them entered the officialdom with moral articles. Pei's heirs are strong in learning, and Dezhixin interprets the true meaning of the family's prosperity. Pei's family once had a family rule, those whose descendants failed to pass the examination were not allowed to enter the gate of the ancestral hall, and officials with bad deeds could not enter the ancestral tomb when they died. The 59 great generals are also full of the books of the sages and sages. In the Tang Dynasty, a small village of Pei Bai produced 5 champions, which cannot but be said to be a cultural wonder.
But in addition to education, their feng shui also has a lot to offer!
The place where Pei Jiazu chose to move has a unique human and geographical environment, and it should be regarded as a treasure land of feng shui. In 126 AD, Pei Ye, the 25th generation of the Pei family, ran all over Hedong in order to find a suitable place for the family to live, and Pei Bai Village became his final choice. The world is so big, why did you choose here?
Pei Bai Village is located in a small ridge recess surrounded by mountains, close to the Shushui River, surrounded by mountains on three sides, sitting in the north and facing south, the mountains are majestic, the pines and cypresses are lush, the purple glow lingers, the lotus fragrance is diffuse, complete and not closed, independent and naturally extended. The village is surrounded by nine ridges, and there is a tall cypress tree at the highest point of each soil ridge, which together has a nice name "Jiufeng Chaoyang".
This kind of topography is the "treasure land of feng shui" in the eyes of ancient physiognographers, which is most suitable for family reproduction and raising talents, and is destined to produce a big man with the talent of governing the country and the country. So Pei Ye moved his family here, and took the surname Pei and the local cypress tree to form the first word of the village name, so it was "Pei Bai".
As for why the Pei family occupied this feng shui treasure at what time?
Wang Zhong believes that there are two main reasons: one is that the Pei family's distant ancestor himself was proficient in feng shui, and Pei Mao, the 17th generation grandson of the Pei family, was proficient in feng shui, which shows that the Pei family attached great importance to feng shui very early. In addition, the distant ancestors of the Pei family who came to Phoenix Mountain and Pei Bai Village are generals, and they commemorate the feng shui here, which is suitable for human habitation, so they settled here, and Guo Pu, a master of feng shui, is also the son-in-law of Pei, which is a good proof. The second is that at that time, many people did not believe in feng shui and did not understand feng shui, a horizontal comparison, Pei's distant ancestors were on the upper hand, so they had the opportunity to obtain the aura of the earth first, one step ahead of others, of course, more than rich, and prosperous.
