(二) From the four major bureaus to the eight classifications (28 stars)
In order to prove the authenticity of the theory of the four major bureaus of Feng Shui, Dr. Chen Yikui obtained a whole piece of land for experiment in BC, Canada. Within the scope of local laws, a 36-meter-high wall was built in the north and south (legal regulations the maximum height of any building should not exceed 36 meters). The land is divided into two blocks, east and west. The high wall is the high white tiger. From the west, the high wall is the green dragon. The main axis to be explored in this experiment is to test whether the content of high rise Qinglong and high rise Baihu recorded in the ancient book is true or false.
The local soil in BC belongs to peat. Generally, plants are not easy to grow. However, there is also a straw cultivation plant for growing mushrooms. This kind of thing is discarded after the harvest of the mushrooms, so after using this straw soil to mix into the peat, the soil for planting is completed, and the blended soil is evenly distributed to the eastern and western regions.
To compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two blocks, it can be judged from their economic output value. Of course, all the basic conditions must be the same. From the soil to the planted plants, the management conditions should be the same. The remaining variables are the blocks. The difference is that testing the results of different blocks is the purpose of the whole experiment.
Dr. Chen Yikui discovered that Canada's fruits and vegetables are from the United States, and the locals do not produce it at all. Therefore, they use Taiwan's gourd seed to plant them in the east and west regions. As mentioned above, they should be planted with the same soil and the same management methods. In particular, an expert Mr. Zeng was in charge of management and led a group of Indians to work together. After a whole period of inspection the growing season, the production of the western region was five times higher than that of the eastern region. And the length is also larger than that of the eastern area; if it is quality, the eastern and western areas of the gourd are cooked in the same way, and the result is that the taste of the western area is sweeter and tender, and the fiber in the east area is dry and unpalatable. Now the results are very clear, but the whole experiment actually used a million Canadian dollars, others thought that Dr. Chen Yikui went to Canada to do big business, the result was not, just to see if a gourd is good or not ! It took a year to go to Canada, and used a million Canadian dollars, just imagine how much pressure from different voices at home!
It is easy to understand the use of this theory to see the west and east of the Central Mountain Range of Taiwan. Why is the economic prosperity of the western region and the development of the eastern region? At present, some people are shouting about what industries should move eastward. Dr. Chen Yikui said that the industry is moving eastward? What to do in the east? The growth of the eggplant is not good, and the yield of the banana is not large, and there is no efficiency at all.
Zhou Yi described the changes and operations of the whole environment. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the theory of a saint was developed at that time. It was North Xuanwu, South Zhuque, East Qinglong, and West Baihu. It has always emphasized that the Qinglong side should rise in the living environment. However, these things at the end everyone just said it, but never did the experiment! For three thousand years, Dr. Chen Yikui was the first scholar to do four major bureau experiments. This is the first person since 1045 BC. However, due to the high debt, it is also a high price to be paid for by an academic. Dr. Chen Yikui still does not forget to thank the support of many friends.
Some people will say why Dr. Chen Yikui’s speech is very strong and loud. In fact, the reason is very simple. There is a courage and the person who is actually doing it is Dr. Chen Yikui. Of course, it will be full of enthusiasm. Feng Shui is a practice of academics. Dr. Chen Yikui’s speech is "real" and encountered. It’s all "virtual", so it will be louder, it is natural.
In the Han Dynasty, it was also used in four major bureaus. The feng shui of the Han Dynasty said that if the east side is raised with the water will be very rich, and the house built is as beautiful as a palace. If there is water in the east and there is a little mountain behind in the front of the plain, it is also very wealthy. If the right side (western) and in front Zhuque in the south rise high, and there is no mountain in the north, the people here work like slaves and will fight each other; the place that was sent to labor reform during the Cultural Revolution in 1966 was the Great Northern Wilderness, and this The feng shui pattern is exactly the same. There is no mountain in the north and the outer plateau in the right. There is nothing in the east. Everyone is there to be self-defeating.
In the Tang Dynasty, the eight classification method was used, including the Song Dynasty and the Eight Classifications. The four important points were used to find the benchmark. The reference was based on the sun. The book says, The emperor comes from Zhen, which means that when the four major bureaus decide the benchmark point, the straight east of the sun should be taken as the standard. However, the Eight Diagrams of the Tang Dynasty used straight north as the benchmark, to find the north, if to be more precise, at that time, twenty-eight stars will be added. Many people think that the twenty-eight stars have existed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but that there is only research that has not been applied, and the real application is from the Tang Dynasty. The difficulty of using the twenty-eight stars is the positioning of the north. The reference point is in the North Star. If you want to find the North Star, you should find the Polaris after extending the extension of the two stars next to the Big Dipper and the Zuofu and YouBi, with seven times of the extension lengths of these two star will find the North Star.
The number “seven “ Seventh Day cycle of the Book of Changes, is from the seven political and astronomical astronomy. Although it cannot be verified, it should start from the Zhou Dynasty. The entire ideology of the Zhou Dynasty affected all the religions now. These religions all use the theory at the time.
When the Tang Dynasty used twenty-eight stars, it was necessary to locate the position of the North Star. But this is a very difficult task. To see the position of the North Star, you must choose a place where there is no light, and the correct time, which is the perfect Zi hour. Less than three days are available for a whole year.
In the later Tang Dynasty, Yang Yusong appeared. Yang YunSongwas an official in the court. When he was an official, he got a lot of Feng Shui materials. At that time, any research materials were owned by the state. The research of Qin Tianjian was owned by the government. Yang YunSong studied the materials in the palace, recorded the information in his mind and copied it out, because all written materials could not be taken out of the palace. At the same time, he walked around to observe the terrain, and also learned about the customs of different places. Later, he found that a needle floating on the butter would be fixed in the same direction. No matter how to turn the container with butter, the needle would still point to the same In the direction, Yang YunSong created a pottery dish with this principle. It can be filled with oil and magnetic needles. When a good weather is selected, the "right time" is used. On the mountain, the North Star is observed with a ceramic dish with magnetic needles. What happens next? It was amazing, because the magnetic needle is fixed in the direction of the Polaris, this is a big discovery! With this tool, you don't have to work hard to find the North Star anymore. Just look at the direction of the magnetic needle and you can easily locate the North! Then, the twenty-eight stars were added to it, and the feng shui bloomed. The twenty-eight stars were also popular, especially in the Song Dynasty. Of course, it was also in the early Ming Dynasty. In Feng Shui, if you don’t understand the twenty-eight stars and no point for you to study it. So after studying feng shui, except knowing and running around mountains also have to learn about the contents of the 28-star and the relationship between them.
It was not until the Western missionary Ricci arrived in China that he changed this situation. Later, he and Xu Guangqi jointly worked to destroy the Chinese feng shui.
