Geomantic steps for examining yang residences with Xuan Kong Feng Shui
paulpeng
When examining a residence using the Xuan Kong Feng Shui of the Zhongzhou School, its application principles can be inferred for auspiciousness and inauspiciousness by considering two major factors. The first consideration is observing the quality of the surrounding environment of the residence and the distribution of roads. This belongs to the aspect of form and landform and is an external factor. The methods for judging the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of arranging dragons and star charts (including the heavenly plate, earthly plate, transportation plate, and mountain-direction plate) are in terms of qi principles and belong to internal factors. Only by referring to these two types of factors mutually and observing whether qi principles and form and landform are in harmony can the true auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of a house be determined. This is the principle of combining qi principles and form and landform.
Since much of the knowledge for inferring external factors must be based on internal factors, in the learning sequence, internal factors, that is, the aspects of qi principles in Xuan Kong, are described first. But it must be noted that in the sequence of choosing a residence, one must first look at the external situation, that is, the distribution of buildings and roads around the residence. If the environment is inauspicious, this house should not be considered. Only after the external factors are in harmony can one further observe and choose. Therefore, the Xuan Kong of the Zhongzhou School not only emphasizes qi principles but also attaches great importance to form and landform. This is different from worldly books that only talk about qi principles without mentioning form and landform or only discuss form and landform without understanding qi principles.
Steps for operating yang residence feng shui:
1. Determine the mountain-direction of the house with a compass.
2. Use geometric methods on the floor plan of the house to calculate the center point of the house.
3. Measure and arrange dragons.
4. Divide the house into eight palaces and twenty-four mountains with a polarizing compass.
5. According to the sitting direction, then arrange and produce the star chart.
6. Corresponding to the floor plan, in the actual eight palace areas of the house, determine the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness according to the star chart and the form and landform around the house.
7. According to the form and landform around the residence, find the key to seeking auspiciousness in the star chart. Through various methods, seek auspiciousness and avoid inauspiciousness.
Purchase of the San Yuan compass and polarizing compass for Xuan Kong Feng Shui.
The application principle of Xuan Kong Feng Shui is the interaction of time and space. Time is established by celestial movements, and the determination of space must rely on a compass (magnetic compass). Therefore, whether the measurement of the compass is accurate directly affects the accuracy of judgment. So the importance of this tool can be said to play a decisive role in the operation process of Xuan Kong Feng Shui. The following will discuss in detail the purchase of a compass!
1. A brief discussion on compass purchase.
Now there are three types of compasses on the market, namely the San Yuan compass, the San He compass, and the comprehensive compass. Those learning Xuan Kong Feng Shui should choose the San Yuan compass and comprehensive compass as the best. The author uses a San Yuan compass! If you go to purchase it yourself, you can consider a comprehensive compass. If you ask someone to buy it on your behalf, for the sake of insurance, still use a San Yuan compass! To avoid getting a compass that cannot be used when brought back by someone. A usable compass must have a 360-degree scale around it and two fixed cross-shaped longitude and latitude lines on its four sides, and the copper plate in the compass can rotate.
Since the function of a compass is to determine directions, there are certain precision requirements in its specifications. Therefore, when purchasing, pay attention to the following points.
1. There must be cross-shaped red longitude and latitude lines on the compass. The copper plate in the compass can rotate, and pay attention to the feel when rotating. And check that there is a 360-degree scale around the compass, and it should also have a spirit level.
2. The red cross-shaped longitude and latitude lines must exactly coincide with the 0-degree, 90-degree, 180-degree, and 270-degree scales on the compass. Otherwise, it is not usable.
3. When rotating, the magnetic needle of the heavenly plate (the end with a circle) must exactly coincide with the red meridian line of the earthly plate (in the middle of the two circles). Otherwise, it is not usable.
4. While the compass is rotating, pay attention to whether it shakes up and down. (You can press down with your hand to test.) It should not be too flexible or difficult when rotating. A slight resistance is acceptable.
5. See if the surface scales of the compass are clear, especially the two layers of 360 degrees and twenty-four mountains. It is best to have one hundred and twenty minutes of gold. Although one hundred and twenty minutes of gold is something of the San He School, it can be used to distinguish lower trigrams from replacing trigrams.
6. Compasses also come in different sizes. Generally, an eight-inch compass is used (the length and width of the entire compass should be 25 centimeters). This way, it is easier to see clearly when determining directions! A compass that is too small is prone to errors! The above are the points to note when purchasing a compass. I hope readers can all purchase a compass they like!
2. Polarizing compass.
In the operation process of Xuan Kong Feng Shui, there is another very important step, that is, after determining the sitting direction and setting up the star chart (the method for setting up the star chart will be discussed in the next chapter), use a polarizing compass to divide the floor plan of the measured building into eight palaces and twenty-four mountains, and then judge the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of each palace and make an overall layout according to the knowledge of qi principles and form and landform. The function of the polarizing compass is to precisely divide the building into eight palaces and twenty-four mountains for judgment and adjustment! Therefore, the polarizing compass is also an indispensable tool.
The polarizing compass is a transparent plastic plate of a certain hardness (not too thick) printed with twenty-four mountains and 360 degrees. The specific application is to first determine the center point on the floor plan of the room according to mathematical geometry, and then draw a straight line perpendicular to the main door of the building at the center point. (Note: This straight line is a line perpendicular to the door when determining directions. One end is the sitting direction, and the other end is the facing direction). Generally, for public housing buildings, the line for determining directions is perpendicular to the building door, so it is easy to identify.
However, polarizing compasses are not sold domestically. But a tool that can replace the polarizing compass is the protractor used in mathematics. The specific usage method is to combine two protractors into a circle, and then divide the protractor into twenty-four mountains according to the corresponding degrees of the boundaries of each mountain on the compass. Of course, each protractor only has 180 degrees. So a complete polarizing compass must consist of two protractors. Since both protractors are 180 degrees, one of them needs to be distinguished by color for 181 to 360 degrees. Although it is relatively troublesome to use, it can still be used.
Since much of the knowledge for inferring external factors must be based on internal factors, in the learning sequence, internal factors, that is, the aspects of qi principles in Xuan Kong, are described first. But it must be noted that in the sequence of choosing a residence, one must first look at the external situation, that is, the distribution of buildings and roads around the residence.

Therefore, the Xuan Kong of the Zhongzhou School not only emphasizes qi principles but also attaches great importance to form and landform. This is different from worldly books that only talk about qi principles without mentioning form and landform or only discuss form and landform without understanding qi principles.
