Chapter 212: The Secrets of Feng Shui in a City
When he woke up the next day, Bai Feng saw that Niu Zhan was holding a stack of city maps and looking at them with relish, and he became angry: "Hey, I said that your cowhide has been blown out, can you do something serious, even if you can't do it, we won't laugh at you." What does it mean to hold a map, what's the matter, the world is so big, you also want to go and see, the universe is even bigger, you just go to the sky! ”
Niu Zhan didn't pay attention to him, but continued to stare at the map, and while looking, he said to the sour old man next to him: "Hey, I found that the pattern of Longdu is very strange!" ”
"What's weird?"
Niu Zhan unfolded the map and spread it on the table, and Bai Feng realized that the pile he was holding in his hand was a map of different periods of Longdu, out of curiosity, so he also leaned in to look at it carefully.
"Hey, really, you see, why are the original streets all T-shaped?" Bai Feng soon found the clue.
I don't know where Niu Struggle found a copy of the map of Longdu a long time ago, the city wall is still there, like many important towns in the north, it is also stable and square. In history, Longdu is also a famous capital, military fortress, and cultural city, but it is obviously different from other cities that there is no street running through the east, west, north and south, which is extremely rare in history.
The large cities of the past dynasties have four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the streets where the city gates are located are generally directly running through the whole city, unless the city built on the mountain cannot meet this condition due to the topography, but the dragon capital can be on the plain of a horse and a flat river, and there is no topography factor at all.
You must know that the reason why the city is so laid out is, on the one hand, to meet the military needs and the convenience of the people's lives. On the other hand, it is said in feng shui that "qi and veins are accessible". There are also cities with special structures, such as the Bagua City repaired by Zhuge Liang, but the scale of those cities is very small, but all the big cities, the streets are arranged in a tic-tac-toe shape like the ancient Chang'an City, especially in the north, there is no other.
But the streets of Longdu are obviously different, all the streets, are T-shaped, until the progress of the times, the streets of Longdu are slowly opened, throughout the city, east and west for the street, north and south for the road.
"Yes, the T-shaped street, which is not convenient and very taboo, the city is the same as the people, the street is like the meridians on the human body, the T-shaped street, like blocking the meridians, accumulating turbid gas, which affects the fortune of the city very much" Niu Zhan said contemplatively.
"Maybe people didn't understand these things before," Bai Feng said.
"Bullshit, the ancients know much more than us, look at the overall situation of this city, there are mountains all around, and those mountains are not lonely mountains, they are all on top of the mountains, and there is a water around the city, do you know what this is called? This is called the hidden mountain and the dragon swallowing the sky, and the city is built in this place, and it is easy to appear big people in the world, so it is called the dragon capital. The place in the world is called Longdu, but there are only six. And the most orthodox of these six is Longdu. The Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, Zhao Xiangzi, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng, Gao Huan Gao Yang of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Zetian, the Emperor of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, all went out from here. What city can have so many emperors? Ni even said that the ancients didn't understand such things! Ignorance, ridiculous," Sour Old West mocked.
"Damn, as far as you can, aren't the dozens of emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties all out of the Forbidden City, not more than you?"
"Ni is carrying, can it mean the same thing?" Sour Lao Xi was choked by Bai Feng's words.
"That's also a lack of precision, what's the matter!" Bai Feng is to raise the bar.
"Okay, don't argue, what you said is really wrong, the reason why Longdu was built like this is definitely not that the ancients didn't understand, on the contrary, I think it was intentional for it" Niu Struggle interrupted their argument.
"What evidence do you have?" Bai Feng asked unconvinced.
Niu Zhan pointed to several relatively important streets on the map one by one and said: "Wherever there are government offices, military camps, and drum towers, they are all main streets, right?" ”
"Yes, I admit it," Bai Feng replied.
"Then take a good look, what's in the T-shaped mouth of these main streets?"
Bai Feng said this, and after carefully checking it again, he finally showed a shocked look on his face, because those intersections, without exception, there are temples in town, and they are all fierce temples like the Black Tiger Temple Tianjun Temple. He would be a fool if he couldn't see anything again.
"This 。。。。。。 That's weird, right? Cow dung, what the hell is going on? What is the purpose of this? ”
"I'm also investigating, it's not clear yet, but there must be a mystery," Niu Struggle shook his head and said.
"Don't check it, Oh told the Nins wow. This is not surprising at all. Do you remember the emperors that Russia just counted? Who's the last one? ”
"Emperor Wu Zhou" Niu Zhan recalled and said.
"How good is this map?"
"The picture should be from the Ming Dynasty, but according to the historical records I found, the dragon was transformed once in the Tang Dynasty, and the movement was quite large, and then it seems that it was not built much, so I deduced that this pattern was left by the Tang Dynasty. Most of the cities in the Tang Dynasty were like Vermilion Bird City and Phoenix City, not to mention that this style was rare, even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, so I was curious," Niu Struggle explained.
"Yes, the pattern of Longdu was indeed formed from the Tang Dynasty, because there were two geniuses in Feng Shui, and there were poems: Yishi both descended to the Tang Dynasty, and the picture was easy to play Huazhang. The poor and mysterious heaven is leaking, and the meaning is far-reaching and long-term. Know who isn't? The sour old man asked, rubbing his beard.
"It's Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng!" Niu Struggle blurted out, he didn't know the names of these two.
Sour Laoxi nodded and said, "Oh, Longdu was made by Yuan Tiangang to look like this." ”
"Why?" Niu Struggle and Bai Feng asked in unison.
"The nuns must have heard that the first person to predict that Wu Zetian would be the emperor was Yuan Tiangang, when he told Tang Taizong that the dragon capital is a place where the dragon is very strong, and if there is a character, it is the kind that changes the dynasty, of course, there are a lot of them, but there is no way to verify it now. However, because Tang Taizong and their father and son started here, and in the end it became a great cause, so they were convinced. He was afraid that their Li Tang Dynasty would be robbed, so he ordered the dragon capital to be demolished and rebuilt.
The T-shaped streets are like nails. This kind of nailing dragon pile is much more powerful than the pillars that the Ni have seen, and the whole dragon capital feng shui has been changed. And the temples that the nuns just saw, the gods and goddesses in the temples, are all famous because of catching dragons. But everything is a day, and before the city has been changed, Emperor Wu Zhou came to the world, so he still didn't hold it down. However, after the Tang Dynasty, such a huge and incomparably large feng shui pattern finally played a role, not to mention the emperor, and there were not even a few decent big people in Longdu. In modern times, because of the needs of life, it has been changed to the current pattern of east-west access and north-south connectivity, and the Longdu Universiade has gradually recovered, but the momentum is so fierce that the Ni also saw it," said Sour Laoxi.
"I see, how do you know so much?" Niu Zhan said suspiciously.
Sour Lao Xi smiled and said, "This kind of thing, the official history and wild history can't be found." However, if you don't know what to do, there is a master in Longdu who finally knows the doorway, this person has changed the feng shui of Longdu in order to have a career for his children, and he has also succeeded, and that master is still a coppersmith! ”
"Who?" Bai Feng and Niu Struggle asked in unison again.
