Wei and Jin Dynasty: Seeing Rong in the Orthodox
Wei and Jin Dynasty: Seeing Rong in the Orthodox
The Wei-Jin period was an important forming period for Chinese Fengshui theory and practice. Not only did there have a relatively systematic summary of Fengshui theory, but also a group of people such as Guan Chuan, Guo Pu and others in Xiangdi, burial, divination, etc. Well-known
Home, and their legendary stories are recorded in official histories such as "Jin Shi". It can be seen that Feng Shui became part of the scholar-officials' extensive knowledge during the Wei and Jin Dynasties and was accepted by orthodox Taoism and the royal court.
Guan Ren was a native of the Wei Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. He was a well-known sorcerer at that time. He was proficient in the methods of arranging and accounting for phases. He also had his own systematic theory of phases and geography. "Meng"), "Three Kingdoms·Wei Shu·Fang Ji Biography" has "Guan Le Biography" which records his deeds of judging the good and bad things of the Yinzhai with the "four spirit beasts" theories of Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, and divination of astrological personnel. For example, once when he passed the tomb of Wei Shi’s famous general Wuqiujian, he couldn’t help but "lean on the tree and mourn, the spirit is unhappy, people ask why, and said: "Although the forest is lush, it can be invisible for a long time; although the stele is beautiful, there is no back." It can be guarded. The black dragon hides its head, the blue dragon has no feet, the white tiger holds the corpse, and the red bird weeping sadly.
Guo Pu, who was a little later than Guan, had a better reputation at the time than Guan's. Historical records such as "Book of Jin•Guo Pu Biography", "Southern History", "Shishuo", "Zhejiang General History" and other historical records record many legendary stories about his divination. For example, Guo Pu was his mother
Pro choose a cemetery, only a hundred steps away from the water. At that time, people thought that the water source was so close that it would flood the cemetery, which was very unlucky. However, Guo Xiong is confident and predicts that the water will recede. Later, as expected, the sand was covered, and dozens of miles around the cemetery became mulberry fields.
Everyone was surprised. In another example, "Shi Shuo · Shu Jie Pian" stated that Emperor Ming of Jin wanted to know what it was like to bury a tomb. He heard that Guo Pu was showing people the tomb, so he went quietly and asked the grave owner why he wanted to bury the dragon. In the corner, this kind of burial method is going to cause annihilation. The grave master replied that Guo Pu had come to see that this was buried in the dragon's ear, and within three years he would attract the emperor. The Emperor Ming hurriedly asked: "Can the emperor be born after the burial?" The master replied: "It is not the emperor, but the emperor can be invited to ask." As recorded in the "Zhejiang Tongzhi", Guo Pu once selected the site for Wenzhou City. Initially, Guo Ben wanted to select a site in Jiangbei, but after taking the soil and weighing it, he found that the soil was lighter, so he crossed the river and climbed to a mountain in the northwest (this mountain was later called Guogong Mountain). ,
Huagai Mountain Locks the Doukou", so it was determined that this place was the city site. An important link in the future generations of the earth is the saying of "weighing the earth".
It can be seen that the history has passed on for a long time. The Guo family has many other feng shui legends, and because of this, he is well-respected as the ancestor of feng shui. Although the Guo family is famous, his feng shui works have not been handed down to the world. Later, the influential "Burial Scripture" was published in the name of Guo Pu, which still illustrates its status and influence among future generations.
"Burial Scripture" is an open source classic of Chinese geomantic omen. Although it is a work of the Tang and Song dynasties, many of its expressions originated in the Han, Wei and Jin dynasties, and had a profound impact on later generations. For example, it highlights that the core of Fengshui in the funeral method is to "multiply the vitality"; the burial has a very important meaning in that the body can be affected by the shade and be induced to future generations; the "Burial Scripture" puts forward the "definition" of Feng Shui, which becomes the probability of later generation The highest sentence: "Qi rides on the wind to disperse, while the boundary water stops. The ancients gather to make it not to disperse, but to stop, so it is called feng shui. The law of feng shui, water is the first, and the wind is second."; The "Burial Sutra" also made the most comprehensive and profound expression of Feng Shui's "situation theory", that is, the shape must be in accordance with the situation, and the shape must be stopped before being buried. The "Burial Sutra" is well-known to us as the Qinglong and the White Tiger. The "Four Elephants" of Zhuque, Xuanwu and Xuanwu have also made classic expressions, which will be followed by later generations.
Another characteristic of the development of Feng Shui theory during the Wei and Jin Dynasties was its integration with Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, especially Taoism. Taoism formed a basic theoretical system during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and regarded the Book of Changes , Divination and Qingxiu as its contents. This is quite in line with Feng Shui's idea of pursuing an ideal environment and a beautiful land. The Taoists of all dynasties have a tradition of studying Feng Shui. Many of the Taoist classics such as "Tao Zang" and "Tao Zang Ju Yao" are Feng Shui books. As for Buddhism and Confucianism, they also share the same principles, and they jointly promote
