The study of Feng Shui.


Are there any dragons involved?


Is it really about wind and water?


 

































How do you know that the information that you have learned are correct?
Why is the study of Feng Shui such a secretive subject?

It is very easy to test the knowledge of Bazi or any astrology theories. Through case studies we would be able to tell ourselves if we really know what we are talking about. Even though there are many who would go around in circles to justify their own knowledge. One of the main reasons for that is the amount of time and money spend on the search for this illusive knowledge. The older and more establish they are, the worst they will be in accepting the real knowledge.

When dealing with Feng Shui, it is even worst. It is very difficult to test the workability. As a result, in my opinion there are really very few who knows what they are talking about. If we look at what is available in the market, what are the theories being taught; I wonder why would people still be looking for Feng Shui Masters to audit their houses or offices.

It is very interesting to note that it is actually written in the classics regarding this matter and why the real Feng Shui knowledge are not to be passed down to just any one.

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.
五行分布二十四,时师化诀何曾记。
5 elements distributed in the 24, when in the past has this been written.
Comment: How many Feng Shui masters can actually explained the meaning of these phrases?
以讹传讹竟不明,所以祸福为胡乱。
Without actually understanding and increasingly distort the truth, as a result the fortune/misfortune remains a random matter.

青囊奥

二十四山分五行,
The 24 mountain is divided into 5 elements,
知得荣枯死与生;
Understand when it is prosperous, dried up, dead and alive;
Comment: Again how many Masters can explain?

Comment: When everything is upside down (meaning not having a clue what FS is about), it will not be usable.
其中密秘在元空;
The secret lies within the Yuan Kong;
Comment: What is this secret and where can it be found?
认龙立穴要分明,
Recognize the dragon to establish the Xue point must be clear,
