Chapter 3 47: The Mountains and the Waters
However, no matter how good Feng Shui is, it cannot escape the variables of heaven and earth.
According to Feng Shui, the dragon vein is not static, but always changing.
In fact, this is a series of scientific theories corresponding to the movement of the earth's crust, the theory of plates, and the action of internal and external forces in geography. The dragon vein, simply understood, is the habitable zone of living things, which has a certain law. Organisms that grow in the habitable zone have more vitality than those that grow outside the habitable zone. In fact, soil, hydrology, temperature and air are the best choices for this habitable zone. Of course, this kind of habitable zone is rare, and it is mostly distributed in the mountains and rivers, and it is inaccessible.
But as long as this habitable belt is on the plains, it can often become a big city.
This is the aura that is formed after the extension of the dragon vein in Feng Shui. This is like the trunk of a tree, when the trunk is strong, the branches and leaves can flourish. The same is true in feng shui, only if the dry dragon is strong enough can it bless one side, and the branch dragon can only be formed by climbing on the dry dragon. Even if a branch dragon collapses, as long as the dragon is fine, a new branch dragon can still be derived. For example, after a large river is interrupted, a new tributary is formed nearby, which conforms to the law that the dragon vein changes every 50 years. Of course, this only refers to a small range of dragon veins, such as Su (Su) Prefecture, Hangzhou (Hangzhou) Prefecture, Quan (Quan) Prefecture and other large dragon veins, which belong to the big dragon veins and will not change easily. Even if there is a change, it is easy to recover due to the deep background. In other words, the dragon vein has good luck and evil, and people can only live on the auspicious land. As the saying goes, "Xiaoji is the home, Zhongji is the city, and Daji is the city", the small fusion of the dragon vein can only build a house, and the small branches can be fused, and the village can be built, and the big branches are fused, that is to build a city.
Throughout China's big cities, few of them are built on top of mountains, and this is because of the problem of habitable zones, or rather, it is determined by the dragon vein.
Of course, some people will say that the dragon vein is far-fetched, and it is not common sense to build a city on the plains?
It's like the fourth brother, no matter what you say, he doesn't believe in feng shui.
But the same end, whether it is common sense or feng shui, the experience we have learned is that building a city on the plains is conducive to development.
Tang Chen pondered this question, and the atmosphere in the car was very stiff for a while.
Thankfully, there wasn't much left to do, so the car turned around and exited the toll booth and into the city streets.
"Xiao Tang, this is Hui An!"
Maybe seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, the fourth brother changed the topic.
Tang Chen nodded and praised: "Not bad, not bad!"
In fact, he wanted to say that feng shui was good, but in the face of the fourth brother, it was better to save a few words, so as not to quarrel again. It's like a quarrel between a religious believer and an atheist, which can neither prove the existence of the gods and Buddhas, nor the absence of the gods and Buddhas.
Hui An because of the carving, so the economy is quite good.
Tang Chen looked at it, almost like other cities, they were all modern high-rise buildings.
However, as the car moved forward and drove into the village road, Tang Chen found that Hui An did retain a lot of the style of ancient buildings.
"This is the so-called 'triple patio' house?"
Tang Chen pointed to the antique buildings in Fujian Province outside the car window and asked with interest.
The fourth brother smiled: "Yes, it is a three-in-one patio-type house." The so-called 'three-in-one patio' is actually an auxiliary room or a corridor for each of the three compartments of the main house. Some also have gatehouses or door covers opposite the main house. Some people also refer to this type as the three-room, two-corridor type. This type can be extended to the left and right to five, seven or even nine bays. Or it can be expanded in depth to form a large mansion with two, three or even five falls, which is most suitable for several generations to live together...... Alas, people nowadays like high-rise buildings, but in fact, this kind of house is the most comfortable to live in. However, now the state has no land to approve the construction, otherwise I would like to build such a courtyard, even if the patio is only a dozen square meters. ”
Tang Chen was stunned: "That...... Fourth Master, with your financial resources, can't you get the official document for land approval?"
The fourth brother shook his head resolutely and said: "How can I take advantage of the peasants because of my urban hukou? Besides, it's not that I don't have a place to live, but I just miss this kind of dwelling." ”
Tang Chen couldn't help but be in awe, although the fourth brother was a little stubborn and even a little unkind, he was indeed a righteous gentleman. Maybe this is also because he was born as a soldier, he will not take advantage of the country, nor will he take advantage of the loopholes in the law.
"Fourth brother, you finally tell the truth, every time you go back to the ancestral house, you always have to delay for a day or two before you are willing to leave, and you have to stay for another day or two. Zeng Lao snickered, "Don't you like your villa very much?"
The fourth brother shook his head and said seriously, "It's Ajie who likes it, I don't like it very much." When buying the house, it was Applejack who chose it, and the decoration was also according to his preferences. ”
"Oh, I see!"
Zeng Lao suddenly realized that he didn't know much about this matter.
Tang Chen was also relieved, no wonder the fourth brother was so old that he still lived in a European-style villa "vassal elegance", it turned out that it was because of this.
"Xiao Tang, do you see that mountain?"
The fourth brother suddenly screamed.
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, looked at it, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
The mountain is not so much a mountain as a small mound, and it is only about 100 meters high, and it will not exceed 300 meters at most. Because of the distance, Tang Chen felt that his estimation error was still quite large.
However, although the mountain is low, like most of the mountains in Fujian Province, this mountain does have a bit of a doorway, and the mountain is like a giant dragon in the sky eager to rush to the coast of the East China Sea, shaped like a unicorn horn, Tang Chen blurted out: "This is the unicorn Xianrui?"
"Master Tang, how do you know this is Qilin Mountain?!"
This time, not only Zeng Lao, but even the fourth brother was surprised.
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "I didn't know that this was called Qilin Mountain, but this ...... The pattern is indeed 'Kirin Xianrui'...... But it was far away, and I couldn't see it very clearly, so I had to get closer to know for sure. ”
The fourth brother looked at Tang Chen in surprise, and said after a long time: "Ah Jiu said that you have real skills, I didn't believe it much at first, but from now on, you are indeed stronger than many so-called feng shui masters." This Qilin Mountain, also known as Kongfang Mountain, also known as Jilong Mountain, is an extension of the Daiyun Mountain Range, stretching and winding, because the Tianzhong Longevity Pagoda on the Qingluo Peak resembles a unicorn horn and gets its name. The newly built 'Maple Leaf Pavilion' on the mountain is at the neck of the unicorn, there is also a school at the waist of the unicorn, and the Cai Xiang Memorial Park under the Jinling General Mountain is at the tail of the unicorn. The ingenious natural creation of Qilin Mountain has made this land outstanding and talented. There is also a Linshan village at the foot of the mountain, there is a Linshan Palace, and the gate of the big palace is opposite to the Qilin Mountain and Qingluo Peak. The unicorn is an auspicious beast, so the name of the palace is called 'Lin Mountain'. Linshan Village is also named after Linshan Palace...... Now there is Lin Rim Creek at the foot of Qilin Mountain, and there is Qinglong Bridge, an ancient bridge in the Southern Song Dynasty, which spans the sea of Lin Rim Creek where all waters meet. Follow a deserted path by the stream, and you can find it. It's a pity that it's in disrepair and can't be passed by vehicles, alas......"
