Feng Shui method based on the classics.
In carrying out university research paper, whenever we refer to a book, it is most important for us to identify the source. It is this training which makes it very important to quote the source where we get the information. When researching on Feng Shui methodology, I also feel it is important to search for the source where the method originates.
There are many schools of Feng Shui.
Which are the schools the Classics refers to?
Did the classics refer to any of the schools?
What are the Feng Shui classics?

It is interesting how the classics are very
clearly separated into very clear topics.
Zhang Zhu:
For example, I would say Zhang Zhu concentrates
on explaining the origin of Qi, the movement of Qi, how the Qi can affect humans,
how to identify and differentiate Qi in
our environment.
Ching Nan Jing:
Most of the fundamental of Feng Shui is
included here. For example, Hetu, Loushu, 5 elements, Bagua (Early Heaven and
Late Heaven), 28 Constellations, etc.
Ching Nan Zhu:
The basic theory of Feng Shui is introduced
in this book.
The theory of Yin Yang.
The theory of the 24 mountains. (San He
method)
·
二十四山双双起,少有时师通此义。
·
24 mountains both going together, few
present day master understand the meaning.
The theory of mountain and water.
This is like an introduction book with no
details.
Ching Nan Au Yu:
The fundamental theory.
Tian Yi Jing:
The application.
Ye Che Jing:
The analysis.
IMHO, the three books are all about San He
theory.
Not saying other schools are not relevant. It
is perhaps referred in other classics.
As explained by Howord Choy.

Quote” The technique of the flying stars is well explained in the classics Xuan Kong Mi Zhi 玄空秘旨,Xuan Ji Fu 玄機赋, Fei Xing Fu 飛星赋 all published in the Song Dynasty 宋朝 (960-1279).”

Attached below a section of Zhang Zhu which
refers to some of the most important Feng Shui methodologies to show how the
classics are such treasures when studying Feng Shui.
Zhang Zhu
葬书
乘金相水,穴土证穴法。
Riding golden dragon (mountain)
in relation to the water, locating the Xue based on the topography and
vegetation. (Or Xue methodology)
·
Comment: Riding the golden
dragon represents the location. Riding
the golden dragon means the way the Qi flows through the higher ground to the
lower ground. The dragon represents the contour.
·
In relation to the water
mouth. (The intersection of rivers)
·
Analyzing the Xue based on
the topography or the theory. In San He the Xue is always taken in relation to
the location and the water mouth.
外藏八風,內秘五行。
From the outside it is based on
the Eight directions (Bagua), internally it is based on the 5 elements.
·
Comment: In San He Feng
Shui, measuring the external Qi is based on the Tian Pan. (Heaven Plate) It is
actually measuring the Qi phase. The strength of the Qi. Whether it is Sheng Qi
or Si Qi or the different stages of the Qi phase.
·
Measuring the internal Qi
is based on the Di Pan. (Earth Plate) The 5 elements refers to the Nayin 72
dragons.
天光下臨,地德上載。
The heavenly lights (Qi from
above) coming down, the earth Qi going upwards.
·
Comment: Qi comes from
above but also from the ground where it is tapped.
·
This is referring to two types
of Qi. One from above and one from below. The Heaven and Earth Qi.
·
San Yuan LiQi method mostly
is about Heaven’s Qi.
·
San He method is mostly
about earth Qi.
陰陽沖和,五上四備。
Yin Yang clashing or at peace,
five above but only four perfections.
·
Comment: The theory of Yin
Yang, whether it is clashing or it is to be the same; This is one of the most
important key to Feng Shui which is only for the students from the school.
·
Although five elements but
there are only four formations. Again showing the validity of San He Feng Shui.
The four formations; Metal, Wood, Water and Fire. No Earth formation.
目力之巧,工力之具,趨全避閥,增高益下,微妙在智,觸類而長,玄通陰陽,功奪造化。
Through observation and intelligence
to seek the knowledge and the skill;
Avoiding what is not correct;
Observing the high and low;
Through analysis and wisdom;
Fully comprehend the meaning of
yin and Yang;
Arriving at the skill to change
the mandate from heaven.
·
Comment: Another reference
to the importance of Yin Yang. The most fundamental theory of Feng Shui which
is not taught and which is reference again and again in all the classics.
