"Feng Shui has a deep impact on the value orientation and aesthetic intention of Xidi people's site selection. Taking an analogy is actually a profound science in Feng Shui, because it vividly sees the shape of a mountain as an auspicious animal or other object. Folks often like to drink shapes. In the practice of feng shui, we should respect folk beliefs and rationally use the image drinking method in the site selection of the yin and yang house, so that the people can identify and remember the feng shui characteristics of this place and get psychological comfort. ”

Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"Mr. Wang, do you have a case for the feng shui layout of this place?"

Wu Ming's eyes lit up a little and asked.

"I'm going to borrow the best from several Feng Shui layouts and recombine them!"

Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"Tell me!"

Wu Ming said with an interested expression.

The county takes the central Bagua Cultural Square as the Tai Chi "Yin and Yang" two instruments, according to the Bagua direction at the same distance and at the same angle as a ray from the inside to the outside of the eight main streets, each main street is 1200 meters long, every 360 meters there is a ring road connecting the eight main streets, and a total of four ring roads are set up from the center to the outside.

The first ring road surrounds the central Bagua Cultural Square, and on the outer side of the road are the buildings of shops and public service facilities, and the buildings are connected end to end in a uniform ladder shape; on both sides of the second ring road, there are mainly administrative enterprises and institutions, and the building density is low, and the buildings are covered by green shade; between the third ring road and the fourth ring road, there are urban residential communities. Among them, 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 with 64 hexagrams and 386 trigrams. In order not to get lost, there are directional signs on each street.

The whole county is radial and circular, the street layout is like a magical labyrinth, the roads are clear, the streets are connected, it is the only one in the world so far that is well preserved, the hexagram is complete, and it is also the largest Bagua City.

The Bagua Square is full of mysteries

The Bagua Square in the center of the city covers an area of about 60 acres, and each street in the square is positioned according to the "Bagua Day After Tomorrow". Colored stone bricks are used to pave the corresponding three-painting hexagram symbols, and the corresponding allegorical sculptures are placed. The content of the sculpture is human figures and animals, which contains the meaning of Zhou Yi culture, borrowing the male and female figures, the types of animals, and the position of the characters to reflect the direction and yin and yang represented by the eight trigrams. These sculptures vividly embody the meaning of the three hexagrams, and explain the profound and complex "eight trigrams" in an intuitive and concise sculptural way.

There is a gatehouse carved with a dragon and a phoenix carved on the front of the square, and the top of the gatehouse is engraved with the Taiji map, the birth of Fuxi, the king of Wen sitting in prison, the dragon has regrets, and the imagination is empty and has five paintings with the connotation of the Book of Changes. Bypassing the stone carvings, there is a Bagua Sightseeing Tower more than 50 meters high standing backwards. Standing on the top of the observation tower can have a bird's-eye view of the entire Bagua City, as well as the pastoral grassland in the distance.

According to the "Historical Records": "Xibo, in prison, played "Zhou Yi". King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned by King Yin during his imprisonment. Sixty-four hexagrams were deduced and "hexagrams" were created. Later, he and his son Zhou Gong created the "Yao Ci", thus forming the "Zhou Yi" that has been handed down to this day.

"Zhou Yi" is based on gossip, and is matched with directions according to the nature of its hexagrams. Easy credits "Innate" and "Acquired". The innate scholars arranged the direction of the gossip, and said according to the direction of Fuxi, which was called "innate map". The acquired scholars arranged the direction of the gossip, and according to the direction of King Wen of Zhou, the name was "the day after tomorrow". Check the orientation of the past dynasties, and mostly according to the day after tomorrow. Therefore, the acquired gossip of King Wen of Zhou has a far-reaching influence among the people to this day. ”

Wang Zhong said with a smile.

Wu Ming didn't speak immediately, but closed his eyes gently, and a huge sand table appeared in his mind. With the square as the center, one path after another radiates out, forming a huge gossip!

Although the area is not as magnificent as Tex, it is also very delicate and rare!

"The stream is too straight and too hard. The Rui Qi was taken away, and the only way to change the straight stream to Quxi was to design it as a Taiji diagram. The zodiac signs are formed with the hills, so as to retain the rui qi in the village. I also further designed the layout of the 28 houses of Tiangang Yin, and dug seven ponds in the city in the shape of the Big Dipper.

A mountain stream flows in from the southeast, crosses in an east-west direction until the foot of the mountain in the west of the city, turns north to the city entrance, 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, and the existing road passes through the fish's eye, and the "Yangyu" in the north of the river is golden in rice, and the fish's eye is planted with dryland crops.

The two Taiji diagrams are placed on the north entrance, one can block the cold air and "evil qi" in the north, and the other is like an "air dam" to prevent the leakage of auspicious qi. After further research, the experts found that the layout of the residents of Yuyuan Village was arranged according to the ancient Chinese astronomical chart "Tiangang Yin 28 Sutras, surrounded by the 12 signs of the zodiac", which was completely consistent with the arrangement of the astrological chart unearthed in the Liao tomb in 1974. The Taiji diagram at the entrance of the city is the "Pisces Palace" that surrounds the county seat, and the hills around the village form the "Zodiac Palace".

The 28 buildings in the city are arranged in the direction of the Seven Houses of the 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. ”

Wang Zhong thought of the excitement, and kept writing and drawing on the ground.

Combining the essence of the Eight Arrays with the 28 Nakshatras of the Zodiac will definitely form an unprecedented Feng Shui pattern!

Of course, this qiē is all about creating a good feng shui environment, in fact, this has a simple ecological significance, which is the embodiment of ecological environmental awareness in urban construction.

First of all, the construction of a Taiji diagram at Chengkou is a water conservancy renovation project based on science.

The terrain of the new county town is almost surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only a small gap in the north, and the whole county is like a bottle with a small belly, and a small stream flows straight out of the village from the bottleneck. During the rainy season, when heavy rains are overcome, water from the mountains rushes into the stream, and the flow of the stream increases dramatically. Due to the narrow outlet and straight stream, the stream water discharges very quickly, and a large amount of stream water will be trapped at the bottleneck in a short period of time, which will cause overflow and waterlogging. Liu Bowen changed the stream to an S-shape to make the stream longer. The increase in the volume of the stream can slow down the discharge rate of the stream, so that the water at the bottleneck will not accumulate violently, and the stream water can slowly flow out of the county. Tai Chi culture will be fully integrated into the daily life of the public, and will be recognized and worshiped by the public.

Similarly, Wang Zhong used the theory of the zodiac to turn the hills surrounding the county into "sacred mountains", cultivating the ecological awareness of citizens to protect mountains and forests, thus prohibiting the indiscriminate cutting of mountains and forests for generations, improving the ecological environment of the source of small streams, and fundamentally eliminating the causes of mountain floods and stream flooding.

Wang Zhong also led people to take the lead in creating two plantations of nearly 5 hectares in his hometown. It's not enough to do that. Liu Bowen had seven ponds dug in the village for drought relief and firefighting. However, they are arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, and the name is "Seven Star Pond", and then all the dwellings of the village are arranged according to the 28 houses of Tiangang Yin......

The whole city is located and laid out according to the Bagua Feng Shui theory of "I Ching" and "Yin (Kan), Yang (Cheng), the unity of the two qis, and the unity of heaven and man". Lane 99 is like a labyrinth. In the construction of towns, it is formed according to the layout of the main four trigrams of the innate gossip map: it interprets the sage theory that water and fire restrain all things, and heaven and earth accommodate all things. At the same time, the river is like a jade belt, in the shape of "S" to the north to the south through the village. Eight mountains stand around the village, which naturally form the eight directions of the Bagua, which together constitute the natural Bagua layout. The ingenious layout of the integration of humanistic gossip and natural gossip has made it a great miracle in the history of China's construction. ”

Wu Ming was a little excited. said with some admiration, if it weren't for his identity, he would really shout loudly.

'Negative yin and yang' is one of the basic forms of architectural site selection and architectural style. Whether it is the geographical location of the northern hemisphere in which our country is located or the spiritual consciousness of traditional culture. It determines the directionality and sense of space embodied in the form of 'negative yin and yang' in the site selection of the building. Sitting in the north and facing south, is the basic form of 'negative yin and yang', according to the geographical meridian orientation, the use of a plane sundial orientation, and the complete north-south direction is limited to the royal building and the yamen building, this idea comes from the "Book of Changes": the sage faces south and listens to the world, and governs to the Ming', the south and north embody the power and dignity, and it is also the main content of the concept of Feng Shui. In the folk, the magnetic compass is mostly used to phase the house, and the geographic meridian and the geomagnetic meridian are used as the basis for direction finding, because the geomagnetic meridian and the geographic meridian are stored at a declination angle, which determines that although the civil buildings are roughly facing south, there are not many that sit in the north and face the south, and most of them turn to the southeast. In mountainous areas, the terrain is complex and changeable, and it is not realistic to completely reflect the concept of 'negative yin and yang' by sitting in the north and facing south, so there is a feng shui concept that can be applied to the mountain and facing the water as another way to embody the 'negative yin and yang', that is, the feng shui theory of the Xingshì school. This method does not make any restrictive requirements in the orientation, but pays attention to the combination of the natural environment of mountains and rivers. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the book "Guanzi" summarized the construction site: "Where the capital of the country is established, it must be above the Guangchuan, the height is not near the drought, and the water is sufficient, and the bottom is not near the water, and the ditch is not provincial." The overall form of the town design is to sit west and face east, which fully reflects the form of 'negative yin and yang' with the mountains and rivers in the background. Close to Geshan, Liwang Mountain, there are Longshan and Changchun Mountain in the north of the village, Longpan Mountain and Xiajie Mountain in the south, and the Zhongchuan River from north to south in the east, and the east of the river is thousands of acres of pastoral. The town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the terrain is flat, but there is a certain slope, this beautiful natural environment and good local microclimate environment are exactly the practice of the feng shui concept of 'negative yin and yang' obtained by the town. ”

Wang Zhong said with some smugness.

"The back is close to the dragon mountain for Ge Mountain and Liwang Mountain, the tall Ge Mountain and the northwest direction of the Yellow Mountain Range are connected into one gas, the Yellow Mountain is the dragon vein of the county seat; there is the Dragon Mountain on the left, the Changchun Mountain is the green dragon, for the auxiliary; there is the Longpan Mountain on the right, the lower mountain is the white tiger, for the Bi; the front of the Zhongchuan River passes by the village; in front of the Zhongchuan River is the flat of the broad work, and the opposite side of the mountain is the Lingjin Mountain. The location of the county seat is exactly in the best position of the Tibetan wind to gather qi according to the feng shui theory. In addition, it should be pointed out that the water shape of the county is very good, Feng Shui theory believes that 'auspicious land cannot be without water', the Zhongchuan River is the main stream, and in addition, there are several small streams that flow into the Zhongchuan River from all sides!"

"Beautiful, so beautiful!"

"Although it was not built, I can already imagine the spectacular beauty of the county, which is definitely a feat in the history of Chinese architecture!"

Wu Ming said excitedly.

"Mr. Wang, you will definitely leave a name in history, just like Yang Gong and Liu Bowen!"

"Yang Gong founded Sangong Village, and formed a unique Sangong culture, I firmly believe that you can too, this county is your canvas, you can show what you have learned!"

"Sangong Village, how is it possible?"

Wang Zhong said with some flattery.

According to historical records, Liao and Zeng are the three wings who migrated to rejuvenate the country, "building two grave houses, all of which are prophecies of Yunsong." (Ming Jiajing Dong Tianxi compiled "Ganzhou Mansion Chronicles, Character Chronicles"). It may be because of this that the three wingmen are very willing to introduce to outsiders the legend of Yang saving the poor and opening the foundation for the three wings.

It is said that Zeng Wenyuan is the first disciple of Yang to help the poor, and is also the ancestor of the three wings Zeng, since he met Yang to help the poor in the Huangchan Temple, he traveled the world with Yang to help the poor, but Zeng Wenyuan has always wanted to find a piece of auspicious soil, and settled down for generations. In Lai Village, Ningdu, Zeng Wenyuan hopes to settle down there, in his opinion, the feng shui there can be a big official, Yang said that the mountain there is a bald mountain, and there will only be big thieves. Later, in the Pingtou village of the capital of the city, Zeng Wenyuan said that here is "five tigers down the mountain, lions and elephants put the water mouth", the future descendants will definitely prosper, who expected Yang to save the poor and said that he was wrong, this is "five rats down the mountain, cats put the water mouth". Zeng Wenyuan found that the feng shui of the three wingmen was good, and the descendants could be officials for generations, so he sued Yang to help the poor, and he had found a good place with "a golden plate and jade seal in front and an umbrella in the back". Yang rescued the poor when he came to Sangong to see, sure enough, it was a fertile basin, surrounded by mountains and rivers, there was a long stone peak in the middle of the basin, and there was a tall pine tree at the edge of the distant basin, and a round boulder lay under the tree. However, in the eyes of this feng shui master, what he saw was a suitable place for Feng Shui to live for generations, and the whole basin was a huge compass, with a long stone peak in the middle of the basin resembling the hands of a compass, and pine trees and boulders were the umbrellas and packages that Feng Shui master carried with him. He said that living here, children and grandchildren go out with a compass and a package on their backs. It turned out that Yang was worried that Feng Shui would become a dead school after his death, and hoped that his apprentices would inherit his knowledge of Feng Shui geography from generation to generation.
