Gao Yang looked at the young and intimate couple, he was really a little envious, and couldn't help but sigh softly. "Hey, when will I be able to take a photo with my dream lover by this beautiful Qihu Lake!"

Gao Yang watched as he had been watching people walk away, and then he was a little reluctant to follow the path by the lake and walk forward.

Gao Yang came to a small pier by the lake, standing on the small pier, you can see the scenery of the entire Qi Lake.

Gao Yang saw that the entire Qihu Lake was like a bowl of clear water, green and thorough. The aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake are clearly visible. There are also some beautiful red carp swimming around.

Gao Yang looked at the lake and mountains, and suddenly thought of some beautiful legends about Qihu Lake.

Speaking of the origin of Qihu Lake, there are many beautiful myths, legends and folk tales. Legend has it that a long, long time ago, the jade dragon and the golden phoenix in the sky found a piece of white jade on the fairy island by the Milky Way, and they pondered it together for many years, and the white jade became a bright pearl. But then this jewel was discovered by the queen mother, the queen mother sent the heavenly soldiers and generals to snatch the pearl, the jade dragon and the golden phoenix rushed to the pearl, the queen mother refused, so there was a scramble, the queen mother's hand was loosened, the pearl fell to the world, became the sparkling West Lake, the jade dragon and the golden phoenix also went down to earth, became the jade dragon mountain (that is, the Jade Emperor Mountain) and the Phoenix Mountain, forever guarding the West Lake.

Actually, Qihu Lake is a lagoon. According to historical records, as far back as the Qin Dynasty, Qihu Lake was still a bay connected to the Qiantang River. Towering over the north and south of the West Lake, Wu Mountain and Baobao Mountain were the two headlands that surrounded this small bay at that time. Later due to the impact of the tides. The sediment accumulates at the two headlands and gradually turns into a sandbar. Since then, the sandbar has continued to expand in three directions: east, south and north. Finally, the sandbars of Wushan and Baobao Mountain were connected together to form an alluvial plain, separating the bay from the Qiantang River, and the original bay became an inner lake, from which Qihu Lake was born.

The name "Qihu" first began in the Tang Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty, Qihu Lake had names such as Wulinshui, Mingsheng Lake, Jinniu Lake, Longchuan, Qianyuan, Qiantang Lake, and Shanghu Lake. to the Song Dynasty. When Su Dongpo was guarding Hangzhou, he sang a poem praising Qihu Lake and said: "The water is bright and sunny." The mountains are empty and rainy. If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup is always appropriate. The poet ingeniously compared Qihu Lake to the beauty Xi Shi in ancient Chinese legends. As a result, Qihu Lake has another nickname of "West Lake".

Gao Yang looked at the beautiful Qihu Lake and thought about these beautiful legends, and he had a whim. It is said that Qihu Lake is picturesque. But is she a treasure of feng shui? Has anyone ever used a compass to measure the feng shui orientation of Qihu Lake?

"Hey, I don't have anything to do today, why don't you use a compass to measure the feng shui of Qihu Lake!" Gao Yang thought as he continued to walk forward.

To measure the feng shui of a place, it is also necessary to find the central point of this place.

Gao Yang saw that the area of Qihu Lake was very large, and her center point could only be on the water. But he couldn't sit on a boat and measure Feng Shui! Besides, it's winter. There are also very few people on the cruise ships on the shore of Qihu Lake. There is simply no one to manage.

Gao Yang had no choice but to walk around Qihu for a while. He saw a stone bridge in front of him that connected to an embankment. This embankment should be the famous Su Causeway. Walking from this Su causeway, you can almost reach the center of the lake.

"Okay, just go up to the Su Causeway." Gao Yang thought about it, so he quickened his pace, and then quickly walked in front of Su Di.

Although it is winter, there are still many tourists by the West Lake. Especially on this Su Causeway, the flow of people is also bustling, and there is a constant flow of people.

Gao Yang walked up to the Su Causeway and came to the broken bridge, he looked from afar by the railing, and felt that the West Lake in front of him was divided into two lakes by the Su Causeway. No matter how he looked, he felt a little awkward.

In Feng Shui, there are two main schools, one is the Shape School and the other is the Rational Qi School. The Xingshì school mainly uses the natural trend of the terrain to determine whether this place is a treasure of feng shui.

For example, if they see a mountain with a strange shape, like a huge eagle spreading its wings, then they will call this mountain an eagle to spread its wings.

Such a mountain, in the eyes of the feng shui master of the Xingshì school, is a treasure of feng shui.

In other words, the shape shì school mainly uses intuitive images to understand the difference between feng shui treasures and ordinary places.

According to this statement, in the eyes of the Xingshì faction, all scenic spots are naturally feng shui treasures. You don't need to look at it at all, it must be a treasure of feng shui.

Because all the scenic places are lakes and mountains, the scenery is picturesque, and it is naturally a treasure of feng shui.

Before Gao Yang, he also studied the feng shui doctrines of various schools. I feel that the figurative feng shui theory is easy for people to accept. But it feels too metaphysical. Focusing too much on the superficial and ignoring the essential.

And the rational style seems to be too abstract. Completely conceptualize Feng Shui and fix it in the nine-square grid. Let the nine-square grid interpret the impermanence of heaven and earth.

Therefore, the theory of the rational school is too abstract, and it is unacceptable to ordinary people for a while. Gao Yang has always felt that although these two feng shui theories have their own characteristics, they have their own merits. But there are some-for-tat, the meaning of the tip of the needle to Maimang.

In addition, if you look at Feng Shui, you should combine these two theories, and you can't look at the shape of the earth's surface too intuitively, but you can't completely believe in the abstract theory of the Nine Palaces.

We should absorb the essence of these two schools of feng shui theory and get rid of some of the dross. Then, look at Feng Shui in a way that covers both.

Gao Yang has been thinking about how to be optimistic about feng shui. Really look at the weather of the earth. He drew on the strengths of these two schools of feng shui theory and then wanted to create his own unique feng shui theory.

However, it is not easy to create a feng shui theory, which requires long-term social practice, constantly summing up experience, and only on the basis of existing experience can we form our own theory.

Gao Yang is now standing on the broken bridge, and he suddenly has a bold idea to create his own Feng Shui theory.

Although he felt that his idea was a little ridiculous. Think about today's Feng Shui masters. That one can be regarded as a grandmaster-level feng shui master. All feng shui masters are just following the path of the ancients.

But Gao Yang is a person who has recognized the direction and must be successful. He knew to create a new Feng Shui theory. It takes a long time to practice society, and there may be many difficulties.

But he thought, there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there are people who have a heart. As long as you are willing to work hard, there is nothing you can't do.

After thinking about these things, Gao Yang wanted to start from West Lake and use his own theory to see the feng shui of West Lake.

Gao Yang now walked down the broken bridge. And then keep going. Originally, he wanted to be in the middle of the Su Causeway, which is also about the center of the West Lake. to carry out the feng shui number jù measurement of the West Lake.

But there were too many people at that time, and Gao Yang didn't feel very convenient.

Because, to measure the feng shui orientation of a place, it must be in a place where there are not too many people. There are too many people. Human Weather. There are also the sound of people's footsteps, which will affect the accuracy of the compass.

Gao Yang looked at it, not here. It is difficult to measure the exact feng shui number of West Lake here.

So Gao Yang walked across the Su Causeway to a small forest on the opposite side, where the environment was relatively quiet. He saw that there was a pavilion in the grove of Qingbo Gate in front of him, which looked simple and chic, and it was very beautiful, so he walked over. He looked up. It reads the words "Qingzhao Pavilion".

"Ah, this is the Qingzhao Pavilion to commemorate Li Qingzhao! I think I've heard about it a long time ago. But I've never seen it before! Gao Yang walked to the pavilion and looked inside for a while. I feel that this pavilion is very well built, standing in the pavilion, you can not only see the whole picture of the West Lake, but also can see the lonely mountain surrounding, it is really a good viewing point.

Looking at this pavilion called Qingzhao Pavilion, Gao Yang really thought of Li Qingzhao, a talented woman in history.

thinks she is the only talented woman in Chinese history who can compete with men. It's a pity that she was born at the wrong time, and the era in which she lived was the most humiliating and dark era in the history of the Song Dynasty.

The Jingkang Disaster, which occurred a thousand years ago, was not only a turning point in the history of the Song Dynasty, but also a turning point in Chinese history.

And Li Qingzhao lived in the era when the Great Song Dynasty was falling apart. She has spent her life hiding from the clouds of war. In the end, he was by the West Lake, but he lived a lifetime.

The ancients had a saying that the country was unfortunate and the poet was lucky. Li Qingzhao may be such a 'lucky' person! It is precisely because she lived in the darkest era of the Great Song Dynasty that she became the most dazzling literary star in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.

"The fathers and elders of the Central Plains looked at the flag, and the cuckoo cried blood and tears. There is no sentence in the West Lake, and it is easy to feel at ease and Yue Wang knows. This poem is undoubtedly the highest praise for Li Qingzhao. Compare a little word girl with our great national hero, what kind of praise can be better than this tear-jerking poem!

Although Gao Yang has no interest in literature, this situation also makes him a little poetic.

"Hey, the ancients praised Li Qingzhao so much, and I will also chant a poem in praise of Li Qingzhao!" Gao Yang sat in the Qingzhao Pavilion, thought for a while, and then chanted softly: "Who made Hangzhou Bianzhou, drunk and dreamed of death and forgot about the country." The hateful West Lake is ruthless, and it affects the eternal sorrow of the woman. ”

Gao Yang only wrote like this, of course, it also evolved from the Southern Song Dynasty patriotic poet Lin Sheng's "Title Lin'an Residence". We are all familiar with this poem.

"Outside the mountain, Qingshan Lou Wailou, West Lake singing and dancing when will it be off. The warm breeze smoked tourists are drunk, and Hangzhou is really Bianzhou. "It is mainly a satire on the ruling class of the Southern Song Dynasty, who do not want to recover the Central Plains, but just want to live in Hangzhou and secretly get drunk and dream of death.

Gao Yang recited the poem, and also pulled his thoughts back from ancient times to modern times.

Now that Gao Yang was sitting in the Qingzhao Pavilion, he took out the jade compass from his coat pocket and began to look at the feng shui direction of the West Lake.

Although this place is not the center of the West Lake, it can be regarded as the center if you add several mountains around the West Lake to it.

Gao Yang placed the jade compass on a stone table in the Qingzhao Pavilion. Then when the magnetic needle of Tianchi was no longer turning, he took a look at the direction of the West Lake.

The West Lake sits in the direction of Youshan Mountain, and the sky is 90 degrees. Three sides are mountains, one side is water, and the orientation belongs to the positive direction. That is, the direction of the West Lake and the four directions of the southeast, west and northwest, belong to the east-west direction.

The reason why West Lake is called West Lake is precisely because her mountain is west! From a feng shui point of view, West Lake is really a good place for feng shui.

Gao Yang looked at the direction and put the compass away again. He came to the Su Causeway again. Now Gao Yang sees that although the Su Causeway is a scene on the West Lake, it is called the Spring Dawn of the Su Causeway. But look at it from Feng Shui. This Su Causeway is not very good.

From the point of view of the shape of the Su Causeway, it is a piece of the original West Lake as a whole, which violates the principles of feng shui. The principle of Feng Shui is to be neat. Round, square, harmonious, unified.

And Feng Shui taboo is fragmentation, triviality, division, and destruction. Although the Su Causeway was designed to irrigate the farmland. But that's just a pragmatist approach. But if you look at it from Feng Shui. This approach is still problematic.

But no matter what, West Lake is a treasure of feng shui, and it won't be a small problem because of this. It affects the overall situation. Any other Feng Shui treasure will also have some minor problems. It's like no one is perfect. There is no such thing as perfection.

Gao Yang saw the feng shui of the West Lake, and then walked along the Su Causeway to the broken bridge. The weather is nice today. It's winter though. But the winter in Jiangnan is still relatively warm. Gao Yang and those tourists enjoyed the beautiful scenery of West Lake.

Because, thinking of the Su Di incident just now, Gao Yang also thought of it. Su Shi is an ancient. Everyone knows that Su Shi was demoted to Hangzhou by Emperor Lao Tzu because of the dispute between friends.

But Su Shi is quite optimistic, and when he sees that the scenery of Hangzhou West Lake is good, he is really here to 'live and work in peace and contentment'. He led the common people to build the Su Causeway. irrigating the farmland can be regarded as benefiting one party for the first term of office.

In his spare time. He hasn't forgotten about his hobbies. Looking at the beautiful scenery of West Lake, he began to flourish again.

On a rainy morning, Su Shi got up together, pushed open the window, and saw that above the West Lake, the smoke was vast. Since it had just rained lightly last night, there was some mist on the surface of the lake at this time.

This layer of mist wraps around the West Lake like a veil. The West Lake is particularly mysterious and beautiful. It seems to be a beautiful girl dressed in a thin veil who has just finished bathing and walked out of the stream, the crystal clear white skin, and the beautiful face like a flower, all of which make people confused and fascinated.

The beautiful scenery of West Lake happened to be witnessed by a great poet. At this moment, a poem that has been passed down through the ages was born.

"The water is shining and the eyes are good, and the mountains are empty and rainy. If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup is always appropriate. Su Shi's praise of the West Lake can be said to describe the beauty of the West Lake to the extreme.

Just imagine, the woman in the world dares to be compared with the world's first beauty, Xi Shi. That lake dares to be compared with West Lake. The poem that beautifies the West Lake to the extreme must be praised by Su Shi.

Therefore, since Su Shi wrote this poem, he has never been able to write any good verses. He also used his talents. left an eternal quatrain to the world.

Just imagine, Su Shi has lived by the West Lake for many years, and he should have written a lot of poems about the West Lake, but we don't know, only this one has been passed down through the ages, which is also very reasonable.

This poem is really well written. It can be said to be Su Shi's pinnacle. After him, no one wrote poems in praise of West Lake.

Therefore, the talented girl, Li Qingzhao has lived by the West Lake for 20 years, and she has not written poems praising the West Lake, which may also be related to this praise of the West Lake. It's because everyone thinks that Su Shi's poem is really good. So, no one writes poems in praise of West Lake anymore.

Even the national hero Yue Fei can beat the Jin soldiers to the ground, and he dares not to sell Zhao Gou's account, but he doesn't dare to write poems praising the West Lake, this is because no one can write a better poem than Su Shi, a poem that praises the West Lake.

Because of Su Shi, he suddenly compared West Lake to Xi Shi, so how can others write it, you can't compare West Lake to Chang'e anymore!

What does it mean to write absolutely, that is, to say poems like West Lake Praise. Because he has monopolized all the beautiful verses, there are no more beautiful verses to quote from others.

Writing this, do you think that the author has praised Su Shi too highly, and it has reached an incomparable point. That's good, it's better for us to belittle him too, otherwise, it's too cold in the high places, what should I do if Su Shi catches a cold in this winter!

The emperor has belittled Su Shi, so we ordinary people can also belittle him! To say, the common people should not belittle him. Didn't people do a good thing for the people by repairing the Su Causeway!

But Gao Yang is free of his reasons, Gao Yang thought. I am a feng shui master, although from a practical point of view, Su Causeway is a good thing. But from a feng shui point of view. There is also some feng shui that destroys the West Lake.

So Gao Yang had a whim and wanted to chant a poem that derogated Su Shi.

At this moment, he also happened to hear a beautiful woman beside him, enjoying the scenery of West Lake with her boyfriend.

This girl may be a college student, or she may be from the Chinese department! Looking at the beautiful West Lake, she couldn't help but chant Su Shi's praise of the West Lake.

"The water is shining and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy. I want to compare West Lake to Xizi. Light makeup is always suitable. "Ahh Su Shi is so great!

"The talented man is lustful and the West Lake is beautiful, and the weather and rain are beautiful and ambiguous. Looking at the West Lake and thinking about Xizi, the beautiful wife and concubine have no color. "Su Shi. You have built the Su Causeway and destroyed the feng shui of the West Lake, which is really degraded.

Gao Yang just wanted to recite poetry, and as soon as he heard the girl's voice, he took it. The girl listened. This is clearly against her. So he gave Gao Yang a blank look. Then fortunately I took my boyfriend's hand and left.

But. While walking, I also joked with my boyfriend. "Hey, will you look at West Lake and think about Xizi?"

The boy laughed, "If you could be as beautiful as the West Lake, I probably wouldn't miss her." When the girl heard this, she punched her boyfriend hard: "you, that girl can be as beautiful as Xi Shi!" ”

"Yes! So, that guy just now chanted a good poem! Su Shi should be degraded, who told him to forget his wife when he saw West Lake! "This girl's boyfriend. Just ran a few steps forward, looked back at his girlfriend and smiled.

Afterwards. The two of them laughed again as they went off into the distance. Gao Yang looked at their backs and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Gao Yang saw the feng shui of the West Lake, so he came to the bench by the lake and began to learn his feng shui knowledge.

Gao Yang used his compass to practice on the spot while reading a book, and he felt that in this way, he would soon be able to comprehend the implications of Feng Shui.

Unconsciously, Gao Yang stayed by the West Lake for a long time, and when he saw that the sun was sinking in the west and it was getting late, he returned to the hotel.

In the past few days, Gao Yang didn't think about anything, just to learn feng shui knowledge, and to go to the West Lake to use a compass to learn to measure the orientation of surface buildings.

After measuring the orientation of the West Lake, Gao Yang wondered if he could also see the feng shui orientation of the entire Hangzhou City!

But Hangzhou is very large, if you go to the scene to measure, Gao Yang feels a little unrealistic, he thinks, only use a map to measure.

Gao Yang saw that, judging from the map, the city of Hangzhou sits in the direction of Kunshan Gen, and it is 30 degrees on Sunday. The orientation belongs to the southwest-northeast.

The feng shui of Hangzhou City is mainly a backing mountain, and Tianmu Mountain in the northwest is the big backer of Hangzhou City, precisely because some branch mountains from Tianmu Mountain support the feng shui veins of Hangzhou City.

"There is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below", Hangzhou is not only a beautiful scenery, but also a number of feng shui treasures in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, no wonder the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty will set the capital in Hangzhou, rather than choose Nanjing, which is closer to the Central Plains. Hangzhou is connected to Tianmu Mountain in the west, Hangjiahu Plain in the north, and Qiantang River in the south.

Hangzhou is located on the north bank of the Qianjiang River, where the Grand Canal intersects the Qiantang River. It is bounded by Tianmu Mountain to the northwest, and Mogan Mountain and Huiji Mountain to the southwest and southeast. It is picturesque, the mountains are elegant, the feudal rulers are happy to revel in the lake and mountains, so to build the capital here, it will be a corner of peace and no king's spirit, so that the Song Dynasty poet Lin Sheng rebuked: "Outside the mountain, the green mountain building outside the building, when will the West Lake sing and dance?" The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk, and only takes Hangzhou as Bianzhou. ”?????? Regarding the feng shui of Hangzhou, Tian Rucheng recorded in the "West Lake Excursion Chronicle" that Yang Mengying, the county guard of the third year of Ming Zhengde (1508), said: "The leylines of Hangzhou originate from Tianmu, the mountains are flying, and they are stationed in Qiantang. Between the rivers and lakes, the mountains stop and the water gathers, and the vitality is fused...... It spans Wu Mountain in the south, Wulin in the north, the Yangtze River on the left, and the lake on the right, so the whole shape shì and the surrounding vein, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful in it. ”??????

In this way, Hangzhou has been a treasure land of feng shui since ancient times, and it is a place where many literati and scholars like to visit and sightsee. There are many cultural landscapes here, and the historical and cultural heritage is very rich, and it is no exaggeration to say that every drop of water in the West Lake contains the breath of traditional culture.
