Next Chapter

The earliest origin of Feng Shui can be traced back to primitive societies, when there was no Feng Shui theory, but at that time, people challenged the harsh living environment, blazed a trail, and chose a place to live, which should be regarded as an adaptive choice.

But with the gradual progress and development of human civilization, Feng Shui has gradually become a kind of mystical and mystical knowledge, in fact, in the final analysis, "Feng Shui" refers to the power of nature, that is, the large magnetic energy in the universe, Feng Shui is not only the art of observing the heavens and the earth, but also a philosophy of studying the environment and the laws of the universe, and this philosophy is not just anyone can master, so a series of related professions came into being, and the earth master is one of the most typical.

The earth master is a handicraft work, in ancient times when the religious culture flourished quite highly, the industry at that time was divided into upper, middle and lower three products, each product is divided into nine streams, namely:

Upper nine streams: first-class Buddha (Sakyamuni), second-rate immortals (Yuan Shi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, eight immortals, etc.), third-rate emperors (true dragon emperors, feudal emperors), fourth-rate officials (large and small officials), fifth-rate pots (wineries, feudal times were the largest manufacturers), sixth-rate dang (pawnshops), seven-rate merchants (merchants), eight guests (manor owners), Jiuzhuang Tian (farmers).

Middle nine streams: first-class juzi (lifting people), second-rate doctors (doctors, langzhong, doctors, pharmacies), third-rate feng shui and fourth-rate batches, fifth-rate danqing (calligraphy and painting), sixth-rate phases (xiangshi, lookers), seven monks (monks), eight daos (taoists), nine-qin chess (guqin and go, marking literati).

Lower nine streams: first-class witches, second-rate prostitutes (bright prostitutes, secret prostitutes, courtesans), third-rate gods and fourth-rate prostitutes (husbands), five shavings (barbers who carry burdens and walks all directions), six blows (drummers, trumpeters), seven operas (all kinds of actors), eight street (beggars), and nine sugar sellers (candy blowers).

Literally, these so-called "nine streams" contain three hundred and twenty-seven lines, but in fact this is not the case, this paragraph of oil includes the craftsmen in the seventy-two lines of that year, and the name of each first-class industry does not refer to a single one, but also includes many similar or identical professions, such as the fifth-rate "shaving head" in the lower nine streams, which actually includes pedicures, running halls, pulling cars, massages, clerks, and dancers.

The first stream of the lower nine streams is "Wu", which refers to the Shen Stick and Mi Po and the like, which refers to the southern shamans who chant spells to summon gods and exorcise ghosts, and the third rate of "great gods" is the witch doctors who heal diseases in the form of dancing and singing, both of which are lower nine streams, and have nothing to do with the feng shui secretary, unless it is really a disaster, otherwise no one wants to deal with these two professions.

The third and sixth streams of the middle nine streams of "batch" and "phase" refer to the fortune teller who touches the bones at the corner of the city wall on the side of the street, although he also ventilates the way of water, but it is inevitable that the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes is heavier, and the "feng shui" before the "batch" refers to the feng shui gentleman who is serious and eighteen, and is qualified to be called a "earth master".

The earth master is different from the ordinary bone measurement of the flow of words, stargazing and earth surveying, guarding the universe, setting yin and yang, quite arrogant, self-proclaimed Taoist people, there are many ancestors in this line, the first teacher from the first are: Dahua Immortal, Nine Heavens Xuannu, Tao Kan Xian, Lu Caixian, White Crane Immortal, Blue Bird Immortal, Qiu Yaxian, Zhang Liangxian, Fushan Immortal, Chen Fuxian, Yang Xianren, Young Immortal, Bai Zhongxian, Gucheng Immortal, Yuan Tiangang, Qiu Yanhan This sixteen, but in the end it was a person named Yang Yunsong who became the ancestor of the earth master.

Yang Yunsong, Ziyi, a native of the late Tang Dynasty, was an official of the Tang Dynasty to the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, and a director of the Zhangling Terrace. Later, he turned to the people, wrote books and said, opened the door to teach apprentices, looked at feng shui for the people, and gave the honorific name "poverty relief".

Yang Yunsong has many differences from his predecessors, he perfected the overall context of feng shui magic and self-contained, and followed Confucius's "education without class" thought, will carry forward this academic discipline, after a hundred years of Yang Gong, the four seas of heaven and earth have been all over the Yang family, and the legacy of the works are "Doubtful Dragon Sutra", "Regret Dragon Sutra", "Three Dragon Sutra", "Black Capsule Sutra", "Zhenglongzi Sutra", "Du Tianbao Zhao Sutra", "Qing Capsule Aoyu", "Qing Capsule Preface", "Li Cone Fu", "Tianyu Sutra" and other feng shui classics handed down.

Since Yang Gong, the art of feng shui has been passed down from generation to generation, and there are many famous masters, and Yang Gong's follow-up disciples have 24 national teachers of all dynasties, 72 masters, and the earth master and the "Yang Gong Feng Shui" have been passed down from generation to generation, even today, the Yang family is still all over the world, and I am lucky to have this origin, in this feng shui easy to see the door, and learned some yin and yang secret techniques of observing the sky and the earth, avoiding disasters and driving away evil spirits......
