Chapter 46 Feng Shui Metaphysics
After talking to Qi Dongshan and Liu Haifeng, Zhang Lang rushed up the mountain to do his homework.
When he arrived on the mountain, Priest Qingyuan had finished his meal and was sitting in the evening class. Zhang Lang quietly went over and sat next to Priest Qingyuan and followed him to do evening class.
Only after the evening class was over, Zhang Lang explained to Taoist Master Qingyuan why he was late.
"Yeah!" Taoist Master Qingyuan nodded after hearing this, "You need to be careful when choosing a new school. I will go down the mountain to take a look tomorrow."
"Master, don't have to be so troublesome. I've found a good place." Zhang Lang said disapprovingly.
"No, elementary school is where the young dragons are located, how can the future of the village be played?" Taoist Priest Qingyuan scolded sternly.
"There is a remnant of the dragon vein luck that was overflowing in the Qing Dynasty in Xilongzhuang. You are now the leader of the village, so you also need to build a new house to suppress the village's Feng Shui and gather the dragon vein luck."
"This... Master, do you still look at Feng Shui?" Zhang Lang looked at Taoist Qingyuan with disbelief.
"Feng Shui Metaphysics is a treasure passed down by our ancestors. Alas, you, who is ignorant, will be complacent after only learning a little bit of the Taoist teachings for your teacher." Taoist Master Qingyuan shook his head and sighed that no one followed suit.
"Master, why don't you teach me Feng Shui metaphysics?" Zhang Lang said in surprise.
Other Zhang Lang may not believe it, but Feng Shui metaphysics, which has been confirmed in later generations, is a comprehensive natural science of geography, meteorology, ecology, planning and architecture.
Zhang Lang once specially searched for books to study, but unfortunately no one could give me some advice.
According to legend, the founder of Feng Shui was the Nine Heavens Xuannv, and the relatively complete Feng Shui knowledge originated in the Warring States Period.
In Feng Shui, "wind" means vital energy and field energy, and "water" means flow and change.
"Feng Shui" is originally a technique of geographic area, which is a method of on-site inspection of geography, also known as geographic area, which was called geographic area in ancient times. It is a philosophy of studying the environment and the laws of the universe.
Feng Shui metaphysics believes that since man is a part of nature and is also a part of man, it is very common to achieve the state of "harmony between man and nature".
The core idea of Feng Shui is the harmony between man and nature.
Zhang Lang worked in real estate in later generations, so he naturally had some understanding of Feng Shui metaphysics and was also very interested.
When developing the property, Zhang Lang specially invited Feng Shui masters to show it from Xiangjiang.
"Let's learn medical skills first! You must know that greed will not make you chew too much!"
"Master, my disciple really doesn't have the talent to learn medicine, so why don't you pass on the medical skills to your apprentice's wife! You've seen it..." In order to get rid of the troubles of studying medicine, Zhang Lang carefully suggested.
"Well! That girl is a smart person and has a lot of fate with me. Even if you don't mention it, you will teach me at the right time." Taoist Master Qingyuan stroked his beard and said incredibly.
"Thank you, Master! I will bring your apprentice wife to become a disciple tomorrow." Zhang Lang was very happy.
Although he no longer studied medicine, he was considered a wealth of money and no one else's land. The same goes for his future wife.
"Okay, since you are interested in Feng Shui metaphysics, then I will teach you the teacher." The new apprentice, Master Qingyuan was also very happy, "You can memorize the "Book of Changes" first."
"Master, you will recite the disciples of the Book of Changes before joining the army." Zhang Lang continued.
"You are called swallowing everything! Not only do you need to memorize it, but you also need to understand the meaning of every word in the Book of Changes." Taoist Master Qingyuan scolded.
The Book of Changes is divided into two parts: "Classic" and "Biography".
The "Classic" mainly consists of sixty-four hexagrams and three hundred and eighty-four lines. The hexagrams and lines are explained as the purpose of divination.
The Book of Changes contains seven texts that explain the hexagram and the yao script, a total of ten chapters, collectively known as "Ten Wings", which was said to be written by Confucius; but it is generally believed that it was a Confucian work from the Warring States Period or the Qin and Han Dynasties, and was not written by one person. The Book of Changes is the theoretical root of natural philosophy and humanistic practice in traditional Chinese thoughts and culture, and is the crystallization of ancient Han national thoughts and wisdom. It is known as the "source of the great way" and is a compulsory technique for ancient emperors, politicians, military strategists, and merchants.
The Book of Changes contains all things, and is a prominent representative of the traditional Han culture. It is a vast and subtle and encompassing, and is also the source of Chinese civilization.
When studying Feng Shui, you must be related to the Bagua. For example, the Feng Shui masters today, they always hold a compass for others to measure Feng Shui. The compass is densely written in the compass, which are written in the east, south, west, northeast, southeast, northwest, southwest, what are the Gan, Kun, Zhen, Dui, Kan, Li, Gen, Xun, etc.
In fact, these are Bagua. What is Bagua? Bagua refers to the four positive positions and four partial positions, namely the eight directions: east, south, west, northeast, southeast, northwest, southwest, and southwest.
Learning Feng Shui is inseparable from the Eight Trigrams. If you study the Eight Trigrams, you must first learn the "Book of Changes".
The main content of the "Book of Changes" is the hexagram, and the meridians are eight, which is what people usually call the Eight Trigrams. The other hexagrams are sixty-four, which are composed of the overlapping and combination of the Eight Trigrams.
"I understand, master! I must understand the Book of Changes thoroughly." Zhang Lang nodded heavily, as if he had made a great decision.
After saying goodbye to the master, he came to the west wing, and looking at the books about the "Book of Changes" and a whole bookshelves filled with bookshelf, Zhang Lang couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
You should know that ancient books have a characteristic, which can be said to be the gems of every word, and each word contains a lot of content.
If this bookshelves about the Book of Changes is translated in modern vernacular, it is estimated that the entire West Room will not be able to put it.
There are three Yis in the Book of Changes, which are divided into Lianshan, Guizang and Zhouyi. Among them, Lianshan and Guizang have been lost, and only the book "Zhouyi" is preserved.
Now I have learned the "Book of Changes". Since I decided to learn it, Zhang Lang didn't care about complaining that there was too much content and it was difficult to learn it.
Take out a commentary of the Han Dynasty on the Bookshelf of the Book of Changes and study it carefully.
Although Zhang Lang obtained a university diploma through self-study in his previous life, it was engineering. To be honest, Chinese is at the junior high school level. It was so difficult to read these classical Chinese masterpieces, and I had been thinking about every sentence for a long time.
But Zhang Lang just had such a ruthless spirit that even nine cows could not get back what they knew.
In the past, the regiment commander often scolded him, saying that others would not turn back if they did not pretend to be a wall, and that they would not turn back if they hit the wall, and they would not turn back if they had to hit a hole in the wall.
Interest is the biggest motivation for learning. Although Zhang Lang has difficulty reading, he can't stand his likes and seems to be attentive.
Time passed quickly, and when the kerosene lamp gradually became dark, the sky began to brighten.
Zhang Lang stretched, walked out of the west wing, and started the morning class for the day.
After finishing the morning class, Zhang Lang really wanted to stay, like the master asked for advice on what he didn't understand, but today the greenhouse started to go up to the roof, and he was stared at the scene.
Taoist Master Qingyuan also followed Zhang Lang down the mountain. He wanted to choose a site for the primary school and a new homestead for Zhang Lang.
"Master, why don't you plan the entire village together? When you have money next year, everyone will definitely build a new house." Zhang Lang said to the master with a smile.
Chapter completed!
