Chapter 743: Feng Shui Grand Pattern
Lu Chengqi seemed to agree with Chen Xun's words on the surface, but he was a little disappreciative in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoChang'an's feng shui is of course good, otherwise how could half of China's imperial dynasties be in Chang'an? As for why it declined later, it is also related to human factors. The deterioration of the ecological environment in Guanzhong is not overnight, the war since the end of the Tang Dynasty in the official history has destroyed the world-famous Chang'an City, and also made the rich Guanzhong area in the past become full of holes. During the three hundred years of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the population of Guanzhong increased significantly, the Loess Plateau was overdeveloped, the forests disappeared sharply, the natural vegetation was greatly reduced, the soil erosion was serious, the soil fertility declined, and floods and droughts continued to appear, all of which destroyed the ecological environment of the Guanzhong area to a certain extent.
And the vitality can still be preserved in this time and space, a large factor is that Chang'an City has not suffered from war. Therefore, it is true to say that war is the main culprit in the destruction of a city. Don't say that it is at this time, it is the future generations, after the war-torn city, in a few decades, where can it recover?
If Lu Chengqi understood feng shui, he would definitely not think that feng shui is a mysterious and mysterious thing. To put it bluntly, feng shui and people are closely related, as long as it is a treasure of feng shui, people will definitely be happy, feel comfortable, less sick and less painful. In a place where the wind is mediocre, although there is no great harm, there is no great disadvantage. As for the fierce land, it is a barren land, and it cannot produce crops in this land, and it cannot feed people, so can people live well!
Then look at Chang'an, Chang'an at this time, the Guanzhong Plain has fertile land, thousands of miles of plaster, and sufficient water sources, from which point of view, it is a livable feng shui treasure land. It's just that the people of the past dynasties did not pay attention to the protection of water and soil, and the forests and vegetation on the northern slope of the Qinling Mountains were seriously damaged. From the perspective of feng shui, this is the dragon vein has migrated, and Chang'an has gradually become a livable place, but it is not a treasure of feng shui.
It can also be seen from the later generations of Chang'an that with the change of climate, the eight waters surrounding Chang'an have gradually dried up, although it is still a livable place, its feng shui has not been as good as before. Not only Chang'an, but also the northwest, most of them are seriously desertified. If it is not made up in time, I am afraid that I will not be able to see what will be plugged into Jiangnan in the future.
The art of feng shui, you say that he is mysterious, it is indeed very mysterious, because many phenomena cannot be explained. But you say that he is very close to life, and you are right, feng shui is closely related to people, and transforming feng shui is also for people. Many things, it's not that he doesn't exist if he can't explain it, and the art of feng shui can be passed down for thousands of years, and it does have his uniqueness.
Lu Chengqi listened to Chen Xunshen's chatter for a long time, and he didn't seem to understand, but he heard him praise himself, saying that he "took into account the overall situation", planted forests and trees, and blessed future generations. Chen Xun also said that if it was a normal deduction, Chang'an City would have been defeated. It is the "hair" of this dragon vein that forcibly leaves the dragon qi in Chang'an.
Lu Chengqi naturally didn't believe this kind of statement, Chen Xun was happy to say it, and blurted out: "...... Your Majesty, according to the minister's survey, although there are remnants of Chang'an dragon qi, it is already very meager. If you want to extend the national throne of Dashun for another 400 years, you should move the capital to Luoyang......"
As soon as Chen Xun said this, he saw that Lu Chengqi's face was very strange, and he realized that he was talking too much.
"Chen Qing, tell me, why did you move the capital to Luoyang?"
Lu Chengqi naturally wouldn't say that the history he knew, Luoyang was the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, and even Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, also wanted to move the capital to Luoyang, but the ministers opposed it, so he had to give up in the end. Is this Luoyang's feng shui really so good? In Lu Chengqi's view, except for the fact that Luoyang has a few more mountains than Bianliang, the rest of the conditions are not even comparable to Bianliang.
Chen Xun said cautiously: "The mountain is the real qi, and the water is the empty qi. The mountains are high and magnificent, and the water is deep and wide. Zhang Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty once said: 'Raise the momentum of Kyushu and build the royal capital, look at it from afar, and if you capture Zhu Xia and leap into astronomy; Closer to observe, if the mountain and wear the clouds', its 'Kyushu momentum', that is, including the green dragon Teng, the white tiger leap, the Vermilion Bird dance, the Xuanwu movement and gather the vigorous general trend, it is because of the "Kyushu momentum" in Luoyang to gather the king's spirit. Luoyang looks at Santu in the south, Yue in the north, Gu Zhan has a river, and Yuezhan Luoyi. Luoyang dragon vein, from the middle of the Yue Song Mountain, across the gorge stone and the north, into the Ganglong, into the head of the branch after a branch knot north of the mountain in the back. Although the mountain is not high, it is winding and long, and it suddenly rises to Shouyang Mountain. Far away from the first one, in Gongxian and end in the Yellow River. Songshan draws the middle dry, and rises from the imperial mausoleum. The mountain divides a branch to the Black Stone Pass, which is the mouth of the water. The middle is expanded to the hall bureau, and the four mountains are tightly arched, and the front peak is beautiful. Yi, Luo, and Qianjian converge in front, which is the right boundary water of the dragon; The Chousang, Hongnong, and Haoyang streams are the left boundary water, which flows into the Yellow River and winds around the north side. The Luohe River is melodious, to Gongxian County and merges with the Yellow River, which is actually the place where the luck of the Chinese pulse is gathered. ”
Lu Chengqi shook his head and said, "If you look at it this way, if you want to be called a king and an emperor, you must consider it from the aspects of geography, military and economy, as well as transportation. What is Luoyang's advantage, can it be up to this important task? ”
Chen Xun said: "Back to Your Majesty, Luoyang is located in the 'middle of the world', and all directions are together. It is bordered by Pishan in the north, Luoshui in the south, Jianghuai in the east, and Guanlong in the west. It is surrounded by mountains, according to the Tiger Prison Pass in the east, Hangu Pass in the west, Youyan in the north, and Yique in the south. It is known as 'the mountains and rivers arch Dai, and the situation is the first in the world.' Luoyang City is surrounded by mountains and many rivers, and there are nine mountain ranges around Luoyang (Songshan, Xiong'er, Luhoi, Kunshan, Qinling, Yanghua, Bishan, Shouyang, and Wushan). Surrounded by nine rivers (the Yellow River, the Yi River, the Luo River, the Di River, the Jian River, the Gu River, the Gan River, the Jiang River, and the Ru River), the situation is the best in the world. Its climate is mild, the soil is fertile, and the products are abundant. Luoyang is also a battleground for soldiers in all dynasties, isn't it general? ”
Lu Chengqi sighed slightly when he heard this, he had long known the fate of Chang'an, even if he ordered the trees to be cut down and planted back, he couldn't stop the rising population. Nowadays, there are 1.5 million people in Chang'an City, and there are at least more than 2 million people who live in Chang'an and can radiate to the surrounding areas. Two million people, even in later generations, is a metropolis. With such a large number of people concentrated together, the consumption of resources must be very high. If it weren't for the supply of resources from all over the country, it is estimated that people would have left long ago with the environment of Beiping.
Luoyang is good, but Lu Chengqi doesn't have the capital to move the capital! Moving the capital is generally the founding emperor, in order to have this courage, not long after the establishment of the dynasty, the foundation has not been laid to have so much resistance. Even if it was Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, didn't he fail! Ming Chengzu was able to successfully move the capital to Beijing, which was largely cooked with raw rice, that is, the original capital Jinling, didn't he also leave a set of court teams? It is also this set of teams that has the decades of Nanming.
The desire to move the capital is good, but Lu Chengqi is now powerless. Listening to Chen Xun talk about the general pattern of feng shui, Lu Chengqi also has a certain understanding of the mountains and rivers in the Central Plains. No wonder it is said that the feng shui master is the top geography master, who really breaks through the iron shoes and travels all over the great rivers and mountains!
Lu Chengqi looked forward to the magnificent scene of the peony blooming in Luoyang, and finally sighed and said: "Chen Qing is far away, I just want to ask for a son." (To be continued.) )
