Xuankong theory

Answer 1

The Xuankong theory was a type of geomancy school. It was mainly used to investigate the good or bad luck of geography and geomancy. It was a theory that studied the microscopic substances (air, water, and soil) and the macro environment (heaven and earth) that humans relied on for survival and development. It was based on the Book of Luo's nine-star arrangement theory and combined with the natural form to choose the best living environment.

Xuankong Fengshui was based on the acquired Eight Trigrams theory of Yi learning, with the method of touching the stars as the main method. It was based on the objective distribution of qi fields and the natural environment, and the method of touching the stars was its greatest feature. In terms of operation, the compass was used as a tool to determine the prosperity and decline by arranging the Nine Stars Theoretic Qi of the Book of Luo, combining it with the natural form, mountain, and water distribution. Its core idea was that people had luck, and so did the land. The main point of looking at the house was to look at the luck of the land and distinguish the original luck. Because the mountains and rivers were still the same, but the original luck was different. The time factor reflected by the flying stars of the Nine Palaces of the Book of Luo (namely, the "Three Yuan and Nine Luck") was its core value.

Xuankong Fengshui was roughly divided into six major schools: Minnan School (also known as Guangdong School), Impermanence School, Shangyu School, Diannan School, Suzhou School, and Xiangnan School. Each school had representative figures and works. For example, the Minnan School was represented by Cai Minshan, who wrote the book "The Truth in the Way"; the Impermanence School was mainly represented by Zhang Zhongshan, who wrote "The Direct Explanation of the Way" and so on.

The Shen Family's Xuankong Study was written by the Qing Dynasty's Xuankong Feng Shui expert, Shen Zhureng. It was compiled by his son, Shen Zumian, and his friends based on Shen Zhureng's manuscripts before his death. The first edition was four volumes and had an important position in the field of Xuankong Feng Shui.

The Great Xuankong Fengshui of China originated from the formation of heaven and earth, the formation of He and Luo, as well as luck, Gan and Zhi, Yin and Yang, Eight Diagrams, Nine Palaces, Nine Stars, etc. It used the Eight Diagrams and Nine Palaces, the River Map and Luo Book as the scale to objectively determine the rise and fall of all things in the universe and their laws of movement and change. Luck and He and Luo were in charge of the disasters and good fortune of the universe, and the Nine Palaces were in charge of the disasters and good fortune of human affairs. The theory involved the conversion of yin and yang, the principle of the movement of the nine stars, and so on. For example, in the Great Xuankong Fengshui, yin and yang were reversed.(It involves the transformation of time and space, affecting the qi field and luck, etc.), the star (based on the position of the nine stars to determine the feng shui configuration), the theory of yuan luck (connected with the star, different yuan luck nine stars configuration is different) and other concepts. There is also the river map and Luo book as its philosophical foundation. The nine stars symbolize luck, the twenty-four mountains represent position and energy luck, and the five qi, the big year, the eight gods, the green bag sequence and other elements all play their respective roles in the Xuankong theory system.
