何谓风水：Why is it Feng Shui:

气，聚之使不散，需要采取蔽风措施；

Qi, when it gathers it does not disperse; it requires the help of wind to do so;

行之使有止，需要采取界水措施。

For the wind to stop when it is moving, it requires the help of water to do so;

即蔽风界水，就称为风水。

It is about observing Wind and Water, that’s why it is called Feng Shui.

山水配合

The matching of mountain and water.

玄空妙诀，惟看雌雄，山与水对，阴与阳通;

The secret of Xuan Kong, although observing Ci Xiong through the interaction between mountain and water and the way the Yin Yang inter-connect;

九星流转，彼此相逢，

The continuous revolving movement of the nine stars, when the stars meet each other;

坎离交媾，一气浑融。

The interaction between Kan and Li, the way the Qi blends together and the resultant Qi which emerges.

The resultant Qi which emerges depends on the quality of the mountain and water (Luan Tau) as well as the revolving stars (Li Qi).

杨公养老看雌雄，天下诸书对不同。

As Yang Gong grows old observing Ci Xiong, all the books in the world are all different.

As I grow old, I read facebook and realized that not only the books are all different, the opinions of people are also different.

The only thing that never changes, is the beauty of the mountain and the water in nature.
