Judging from the relevant historical facts, Kanyu was very popular in the Han Dynasty, and divination of the sun and the good fortune was its main content, and most of them were nonsense and superstitions. In this regard, people of insight at that time criticized or criticized. For example, Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty once pointed out that the popular "Kanyu Calendar" at that time was not the same as the gods, the saints did not speak, the sons did not pass on, and there was no reality. “

At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was mentioned in the "Customs and Customs" that at that time, "Kanyu" Shuyun: There must be a struggle for the guests in Shangshuo. Ying Zhu refuted the absurdity of this statement with facts: "Press, Liu Junyang is the pastor of Nanyang, and he has tasted Shuo Sheng's writing, and he has no fight." “

Later, when he arrived in the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Yan of Wei once had a paraphrase: "Kanyu, the general name of heaven and earth." The language comes out of Yan Shigu's quotation of "Hanshu Yangxiong Biography" of "Ganquan Fu", and also out of Li Shan's quotation of "Anthology" Yangxiong's "Ganquan Fu" sentence "Kanyu". This statement is only slightly different from Xu Shen's interpretation of the way of heaven and earth.

It is also reasonable to interpret the words of Kanyu in "Huainanzi", "Ganquan Fu", "The Biography of the Japanese", "Kanyu Golden Plaque", and "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Wang Jing", as well as the "Kanyu" mentioned by Zheng Xuan, Wang Chong, Ying Shao, etc.

The definition of the word Kanyu is directly related to Xiangdu Feng Shui, and as far as the information we have now, it was first from Meng Kang, a Wei man in the Three Kingdoms. once said: "Kanyu, the name of God, the one who made the "Book of Pictures". It is seen in the sentence quoted in the sentence "Kanyu" in the "Ganquan Fu" in Yan Shigu's annotation "Hanshu Yangxiong Biography".

According to the "Old Tang Book: The Biography of Lu Cai", in the early Tang Dynasty, Lu Caiqin complied with the orders of the Tang Dynasty and published the book of Feng Shui to "cut its vulgarity and save its usability".

Lu Cai also used all kinds of feng shui books to "use allusions to correct the quality", and criticized those who were falsified, chiseled and nonsensical. He narrated the cloud of "House Classic": "As for modern wizards, there are more five surnames. Those who speak of the five surnames, palace, business, horn, sign, feather, etc., all things in the world belong to them, and act auspiciously and viciously, according to this law. "However" is in the scriptures, Ben Wusi said; The books of yin and yang also have no such words; It is a wild oral tradition, and there is no place to come out; Only according to the "Kanyu Jing" that the Yellow Emperor has five surnames for the elderly", and cited examples to argue, saying that the five surnames are "not ancient, and righteousness and reason are secluded".

Lu Cai's so-called five surnames from the "Kanyu Jing", that is, the five-tone surname Lizhi, the Eastern Han Dynasty Wang Chong's "On Heng and Confession", on the "Diagram House" at that time, made a fierce criticism of this statement. According to the king's quote; "Diagram House Technique" said: There are eight techniques in the house, in the name of the six armor, and the number is the first. The first name is established, and the palace merchants are different. The house has five tones, and the surname has five tones. The house is not suitable for his surname, and the surname is the same as the house thief (according to: thief, that is, gram) to measure disease, death, crime, and disaster". Another quote: ""Diagram House" said: The merchant door should not be southward, and the house should not be north. then Shang Jin, Southern Fire also; Levy fire, the water of the north also; Water is better than fire, fire thief gold, and the qi of the five elements is incompatible. Therefore, the house of the five surnames, the door has a suitable direction, and it is appropriate, rich and auspicious; To the loss of its appropriateness, poor and lowly decay "Yunyun." It can be seen that the Tang Dynasty's "Kanyu Jing" is a lineage inheritance of the "Picture House Technique" in the Han Dynasty, which is very obvious.

Water represents wealth; When furnishing landscape paintings in the living room, it is necessary to pay attention to the direction of the water flow in the painting, which should not be towards the door or outside the house, and the direction of the water flow is best in the master bedroom and inside the house. In particular, do not place paintings of "Ten Thousand Horses Galloping" and "Tiger Descending the Mountain" in the bedroom, otherwise it is easy to destroy the harmony of husband and wife.

There is a record in the strange tale of Liaozhai: Yizhou Song Shilang Jun Chu's family, Su Shang Kanyu, that is, he can also read his books in the boudoir and understand his reasoning. Song Gongshu, the two sons set up their own doors, for the public fortune. Those who can be good at the art of Qingwu are not afraid to fight for thousands of miles. So the two warlocks summoned Ying Bai. Day after day, they rode all over the countryside, and the east and west diverged in and out, like two brigades. After more than a month, each has a cow sleeping ground, this words are sealed, and he worships the minister. The two brothers are not under each other, because of the negative spirit is not for the plan, and the camp longevity domain, the brocade shed and the colorful buildings, both are prepared. The spirit is astray, and the brothers lead their subordinates to fight, and from morning to sun, they cannot be decided. Guests are invited. The husband changed his shoulders ten, and he was sleepy and did not lift it, and he was on the side of the road. Because of the non-burial, the dove is built to shelter from the wind and rain. The brother built a house next to it, stayed in the service, and the younger brother also built a house like a brother, and the brother built it again, and the younger brother built it again: three years to become a village.

After many years of brother death, sister-in-law and Di Shi conspired to break the discussion of the predecessors, and drove into the field, depending on the choice of two places, and said that it was not good, so the same practitioner hired him, and asked the artist to be another person. Every time you get a place, you must have a picture to judge whether it is acceptable. The daily progress chart is picked from all the defects. More than ten years, the beginning of a domain. My sister-in-law looked at the picture and said, "Yes." "Shidi. Di said: "It is the land that should be the first to strike a martial and filial piety." "Three years after the burial, the eldest grandson Guo was recommended by the township as a martial artist.

Yi Shi said: "The art of Qingwu may have its reason, but it is foolish to believe it." The situation is negative and angry, and the road side of the commission is not talked about in the way of filial piety, but how can I hope to use geography to bless children and grandchildren! It is like a boudoir, which is really elegant and can be passed on. ”

Feng Shui has a long history, and in ancient times, Feng Shui prevailed in the Chinese cultural circle and was a very important factor in clothing, food, housing and transportation. There is a lot of literature related to Feng Shui that has been preserved. It can be seen from the literature that ancient feng shui was mostly used for the selection of sites for towns and villages, as well as for the construction of palaces, and later developed to find funeral terrain.

"Dugong Liu, both Pu and long. Both the scenery is Gang, its yin and yang, and the view of its flowing spring. Its army has three orders, and it is the plain. Through the field for food, spend its sunset. The dwelling is deserted. This is a chapter in the "Book of Songs", which says that the ancestor of the Zhou people, Liu Xiangtu, tasted water, observed the yin and yang of the mountains and rivers, chose to live outside to build houses, and worked with the army and civilians to govern the fields and plant crops. The buildings on the hillside are adjacent to the loquats, and the harvest in the fields is in sight, so it is a leisurely and leisurely pastoral scenery. This shows that at least in the Zhou Dynasty, there were plans for necessary and practical uses, such as tasting water from the soil.

The historical record "The Biography of Gan Mao Lie" records the deeds of Li Zi (Yan Junji) who used the observation of feng shui geography to predict the future. Lizi is Qin Xiaozi, Qin Huiwen's younger brother Yingji, because of the seal in Yan Dao, so also known as Yan Junji, is a famous military strategist and politician of Qin in the Warring States Period, historical records record that Yan Junji in his later years, he chose his own cemetery, saying "after 100 years old, it is when there is a palace of the Son of Heaven to clip my tomb." Sure enough, at the age of 100 after his death, Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty and built a palace in Weinan, of which Changle Palace was in the east of his tomb and Weiyang Palace was in the west, which confirmed the prophecy of Yan Junji. As a result, the Kanyu family of later generations all regarded Yan Jun's illness as the authentic art of Xiangdi.

In the Han Dynasty, a preliminary theory of on-the-spot geography and feng shui was formed. Feng Shui, as a research object, has research value from the perspectives of folklore and architecture.

Feng Shui began to be associated with folk magic in the Qin and Han dynasties, and the five techniques of life, divination, and phase are all related, and it is also said that the basic composition of the hexagram from the "Book of Changes" is divided into the Yang House Physiognomy of the Gate, the Lord, and the Stove and the Physiognomy of the Yin House, which are now called metaphysical mathematics. Its main schools are the Three Yuan Method, the Three Laws, the Nine Star Method, the Yang House Three Essentials Method, the Eight House Mirror Method, and the Xuankong Law.

After the Tang and Song dynasties, since the emergence of Tai Chi diagrams of different schools, Feng Shui has been inseparable from Shushu and folk beliefs.

The main theories of the Feng Shui design of the mausoleum "Feng Shui of Folk Belief" are based on the traditional Yin and Yang Doctrine, I Ching, Hetu and Luo Shu. They borrowed the earliest philosophical classic work of Zhou Yi in China, and added Tao (advocating the unity of form and spirit, using the god to guard the form, and cultivating the god with the form), Shi (advocating the idea of karma and reincarnation), Wu (advocating the influence of the gods on human fortune), and astrology (advocating the influence of the stars on people), to promote the development of Feng Shui.

Heaven and earth give birth to all things, that is, man and all living beings are the products of the interaction between heaven and earth. "Taiji gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to eight trigrams, and the eight trigrams overlap into sixty-four trigrams." Tai Chi is the primitive state, the two instruments are heaven and earth, and the four images are the four seasons of meteorology; Called the sun (long sunshine - summer), Taiyin (short sunshine - winter), Shaoyang (after the summer solstice until the autumn equinox), Shaoyin (after the winter solstice until the spring equinox), Bagua is the eight directions, derived from the simple I Ching philosophy, that is, everything in the universe, information is the same source, the program is the same, and the rhythm is corresponding. That is, the unified field of the universe. This is the unity of heaven, earth and man, in short, the theory of feng shui is mainly based on the metaphysical theory of yin and yang, with the heaven (universe, sun, etc.) and earth (earth, geographical environment) and people (people's residence, burial place) and time (heaven and earth, the prosperity and decline of the fortune, the birth, old age, sickness and death of all things), but unfortunately later by the monks stiffly matched with the five elements of the stem branch of the number of various so-called restraints, forming a folk belief to pray for good luck.

Category: Feng Shui is mainly divided into Yang House Feng Shui and Yin House Feng Shui.

In addition to the house, the selection factors that need to be paid attention to include the street and drainage outside the house, the door position, the circulation line in the house, the placement of the shrine, the location of the kitchen stove, the office seat, etc. It generally refers to the units in buildings with more than three floors, which is called Yang House Feng Shui. Of course, there are a very small number of exceptions due to rare geographical factors, which involve the high and deep feng shui principles of the Yin House. Yang house feng shui is only related to the rise and fall of a family.

Yin House Feng Shui Feng Shui is a feng shui choice that targets the burial place of the deceased loved one, including the direction of the mountain range (Lailong), the direction of the water, the acupuncture points, the depth of the burial coffin, etc., and all need to be strictly selected to match the eight characters of the ancestors and descendants, as well as the factors of the stars in the sky, the mountains in the ground, and everything with acupuncture fields. The secrets are not known to ordinary people, and most of them are given to their disciples by the oral tradition of the earth master, even if the father-son relationship is not formally worshipped. Just because the real Yin House Feng Shui is good or bad, it has the power to affect the rise and fall of a clan and their descendants. Only those who know how to survey the feng shui of the yin house will be regarded as a real feng shui master, surveyor or "earth master".

The main purpose of using Feng Shui principles to lay out a yin-yang house is to obtain the blessings of a stable life, the prosperity of economic stability or development, and the longevity of a healthy and long life.

Genre: Wang Yuan's "Qingyan Conglu" in the Ming Dynasty: "Choosing a place for burial is based on Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty,.... Later generations are divided into two sects for their sorcerers.... It is said that the law of Jiangxi is inspired by Yang Yunsong, Zeng Wenyuan, Lai Dayou, and Xie Ziyi, especially those who are proficient in learning. It is said that the main situation, the original origin, that is, its stop, in order to position, specifically refers to the matching of the sand and water of the dragon's cave, and the other sticks are not concerned. There is no one who is disrespectful to the south of the great river today. Qing Ding Ruipu's "Feng Shui Confusion": "The art of Feng Shui is probably not out of the situation and direction. Those who speak about the situation are now called the mountain body, and those who speak the direction are now called rational. The poets of the Tang and Song dynasties had their own sects to teach and receive. [1] Although the core of Chinese Feng Shui theory is "the unity of heaven, earth and man", "the five elements are mutually reinforcing", and "yin and yang balance", Chinese Feng Shui has also formed many schools of thought over the long years, which have been passed down to later generations and are divided into two major theories, which do not contradict each other. Famous Feng Shui masters in history are proficient in both the theory of situation and rationality, and use them thoroughly.

The environmental school (Luantou school) originated from Jiangxi, also known as the Luantou school, the Luanshan school, the Xingfa school or the Jiangxi school, which can be subdivided into big mountain heads and small mountain heads. Daluantou focuses on the selection of the situation of mountains and rivers and the external natural environment of the building, and the main operation methods are "Xiangtu Tasting Water Method" and "Mountain Surrounded Water Method". Its theories are "negative yin and yang", "mountains and rivers must have qi", "looking for dragons (the geographical situation of the main mountain range - the general environment), sand (soil data - agriculture), points (looking for the main area), water viewing (water sources and not stagnant water), orientation (sunlight shadow, airflow direction - livable)" and other classical geography subjects. Xiaoluantou advocates that the construction or selection of houses should be "backed by the mountain, facing the sun, facing the water, and the case mountain is good";

The philosophy of mathematics (rational school) advocates that "people stand because of the house, the house exists because of the people, and the people help each other in the house, and sense the heaven and the earth". The main theories come from Bagua and astrology, and talk about "yin and yang, five elements, dry branches, eight trigrams, nine palaces, and easy hexagrams". Pay attention to the orientation and layout, the main operation method is to choose the best positioning of the house and the circulation line in the house according to the Yuan Yun. The form, reason, day, and town methods are the basic methods for determining the site selection, building and decorating of the city. The main techniques are the Nine Palaces Bagua Method, the Twelve Earth Branches Method, and the Yi Hexagram Method.

The Flying Star Method, using the three elements and nine fortunes, connects heaven and earth, people, and time and space, and uses the unity of time and space to determine the good luck and evil of the yin and yang house. Houses are built or moved into;

The Six Dharma School uses duality and eight fortunes to judge good fortune and evil with luck, and lays out for the benefit of sentient beings.

The Yi Hexagram School uses the 64 hexagrams of the Xiantian River Diagram to cooperate with the Yuan Yun to operate, and to take advantage of the prosperity of Nawang to benefit by combining the qi and luck.
