This is quite a modern classic authored by Grandmaster Zhang JiuYi claimed to have lived in the Qing period as the royal tomb supervisor and acclaimed to have been from the lineage of Grandmaster Lai BuYi, famous for the method of 砂派 or the school of embrace. Contain within this classic is the application for using the 72 dragon earth penetrating mountain and the 60 dragon earth resurfacing mountain. These secret knowledge can be summarize as the following poem: -
To appreciate this poem, one would have to understand the following jargons: - What is meant by 穿山 penetrating mountain and 透地 resurfacing earth? Why is it differentiated by 虎 tiger and 龍 dragon? What is meant by 渾天 or the Obscure Heaven and 寶鏡 the precious mirror? Of all the five elements, what has it got to do with 金水 metal and water? Strange enough, what has it got to do with the moon 月? After meeting a number of HongKong masters, we can see that they are really thrilled by this classic. One has this to say: -
Another postulation... (More towards the explanation of the LuoPan)
TRULY, WILL THIS THEORY HOLDS WATER?

THE FAKE EARTH DRAGON We heard another fake YangGong FengShui theory in the market, both in Bolehland and the cradle of FengShui in the Middle Kingdom. This fake theory is related to the 5th element - earth. Such brandished theories are sold at a ransom USD20,000.00, to cheat the masses especially those from the west. The late Grandmaster Li DingXing has been openly disclosing the fact that there are only 4 structures or SanHe frame in the YangGong old method such as Wood, Water, Fire and Metal. This is as prescribed in Jade Ruler Classics 玉尺䫎
The problem comes in with the Earth element. What does earth element follows? The late Grandmaster Li explained that ZhangShu states: - 土者,气之母,有土斯有气。气者,水之母,有气斯有水。 Earth is the mother of Qi, have earth will have Qi. Qi is the mother of water, have Qi will have water. Therefore when Qi moves water moves. When Qi halt, water coagulates. Since earth follows water, incoming dragon is considered Yang and outgoing water mouth is considered Yin. This is known as Male and Female 雄雌. So, earth dragon follows water structure/frame. But this is not the case. Some took this theory a little further because in the model of YangGong FengShui that he learnt, he was never taught the very fundamentals of Yin and Yang. Therefore, he is not able to discern Yin Yang frames or structure. In that situation, whenever an Earth Xue is concerned, earth follows water may not able to explain the situation of a house or grave FengShui. So, a modification is require that is to say, earth dragon does not necessary follows water frame. This new theories are now available for sale. To add sanctity to this phony method, it was claimed to be documented by some unknown ancestor in its practice journal that is able to be traced back to ancient YangGong practitioners who did the 13 Ming Emperors' tombs. The proprietor of this theory claimed that many masters failed to explain the greatness of Ming Dynasty due to the lack of knowledge of the earth dragon. If only the ancient masters of the past knew what is this phony theory about, they would have done a good job with the 13 Ming Emperors' tombs. Ming Dynasty would not have collapsed! For goodness sake only 3 tombs are opened to the public, how do one claimed that the rest of the 10 tombs failed because it does not conform to the phony earth dragon? This is how con master mislead the public. This is what the fake earth dragon is all about that is carrying the price tag of USD20,000.00. To determine what structure or frame the earth dragon follows, first determine the incoming dragon. If the incoming dragon is water, it follows water. If it comes from metal, it follows metal and if it comes from fire, it follows fire. Unfortunately, these are all fake theories. The best thing is, it contradicted itself when the fake theories also stated, Xue is the incoming dragon and incoming dragon is the Xue. Great! Go measure incoming dragon... And is supposed to be the greatest YangGong secret of the century! THE STATIC SANHE QI CONNECTIONQi connection is a standard operating procedure SOP for practitioner to set up a FengShui formation. He must able to connect the internal structure with the external. Both SanHe and SanYuan schools shared the common approach but they termed it differently. In SanHe, the Qi connection can be summed up as Incoming Dragon, Embrace, Meridian and Outgoing Water. Therefore, incoming dragon and Meridian or Xue are entirely different things. When these 4 aspects are connected, that is what is termed as riding Qi. 龍沙穴水The only problem is how do you measure each and every one of these 4 aspects? Especially so with real case study of tycoon producing graves without a single tombstone for one to measure? THE GRAVE WITH NO NAME (无名)This is a grave belongs to the family of a tycoon who sells biscuit from locally to the international arena and he had also acquired a number of international brands to be under his establishment. The biscuit king's ancestral grave has no tomb stone and it was kept in that fashion until today. Apparently a recent visit revealed that the descendants preferred to keep it that way. This is one grave that has no tombstone, no fancy embraces and everything seems to be make shift! (c) Pic Credits - www.facebook.com/tee.keeleong
Site selection 寻龙点穴 based on SanHe FengShui is not difficult. There are basically 3 important layers to take into considerations such as: - 1. The Larger Environment 2. The Medium External 3. The Small External Beyond that it is “trade secret” and you ought to pay to learn. What to look for within each of these layers are best represented by the following mantra: - 1. Water Mouth determine structure. 2. Structure establish Facing. 3. Facing establish Sitting. Beyond that it is, again, “trade secret” and you ought to pay to learn. A CASE IN MINDThere is a memorial park up north in Malaysia. It has been established quite sometimes ago about 10 years with many name changes. Google and you will know. As to why the name keeps changing is for me to know for you to find out. One obvious reason may most likely be of commercial reasons. However, as believed, it is likely due to the land formation that is less than ideal. LARGER ENVIRONMENTObserving the “larger environment”, the incoming main source of Qi from the Titiwangsa Range is branched out via a vein from northeast to southwest. This incoming dragon carries 壬寅 which is unfortunately, metal Qi. The “larger environment” water mouth is at the southwest 坤申 that may not gel well with metal frame, thus the site may considered as bad FengShui. A memorial park that is supposed to be long lasting and yet may not conforming to the “larger environment” is not worth. MEDIUM EXTERNALThe original land form has no river crossing the site. It is in fact, boundary between Selambau River and Muda River. A memorial park without a natural river cannot sell. So a man-made river was dug out from the north to the south, thus separating the site into 2 halves – The East River and the West River sides. The way the river is designed does not take into consideration of meandering. A straight river has no affection 情. No affection 無情 is by itself ShaQi 殺氣. The water mouth flowing to the south was virtually locked. This direction also coincides with the “medium external” water mouth, marked “Y”. Measuring with the LuoPan, the “medium external” water mouth should exit 巽巳 that conform to only metal or wood frame. Yet, the “larger environment” dictates otherwise. Moreover there are high tension electrical pylons travelling pass the site. These structures are considered as ShaQi or Killing Qi and it affects greatly the auspiciousness of the site. If it is found within the palaces of 3 Auspicious 6 Elegant, the divination for the site is greatly inferior. A good memorial park shall be devoid of these structures. Neglecting the metal incoming Qi, retrospectively reviewing both “medium external” and “larger environment” the only structure that may fit both profiles is wood. Only wood frame can be employed? SMALL EXTERNALReviewing the “small external” is even more interesting. Having the site now separated into 2 halves – The East River and the West River sides, any RnD engineer would advise that the way to go about is to have the entire site clustered into 4 sectors, namely A,B,C and D. Now, if you were tasked to select among these clusters, which cluster fetched the best FengShui formation? The answer is within the “small external” ?. RIVER WEST
RIVER EAST
CONCLUSIONRiver West has a superior position compared to River East, because River West conform to its overall YinYang compared to River East. This conforming of YinYang is also known as conforming to Pure Yin Pure Yang Principles. Again, evaluating the 3 layers of "Greater Environment", "Medium External" and "Small External", the only compatible structure shall be wood frame. Yet, within "A" and "C", which one has a relatively superior standing? Having said thus, it is undoubtedly not an "Emperor Producing" quality land form to begin with. If it is not because of the Killing Structures of the Pylons affecting both, River West would have been much superior. Also the River has no affection 無情 is by itself ShaQi 殺氣. This site has been formerly marketed for ShengJi 生基. For the purpose of ShengJi 生基 or Life Grave, it is totally another cup of tea. Truly there are different types of ShengJi 生基. One is to have immediate effect, while the other has a longer but slower effect. These all has to do with land form. INVITATIONIf you want to learn more about Land Form and SanHe, enroll into our workshop where Students will learn to evaluate the capacity of a site by taking into consideration the macro incoming and outgoing Qi, to establish its Qi maps. The same is applied to the immediate external and follow through towards the compound of the property, so that every layers are consistent to a structure. This is the art of harnessing Qi. The interior of the property is arranged to conform to such structure as to allow Qi to flow unobstructed. The art of harnessing is through the Xue, not one but multiples. SanHe method is employ to where Qi begins. More importantly, by gaining this skill, one will not be easily conned by unethical FengShui masters with motives to sell burial plots for their sponsors especially the latest fashionable ShengJi 生基.

Greeted by their resident FS master, we walk around looking for an auspicious spot. Strangely, it is somewhere hovering at the earth deity temple with plenty of sparrows encircling the bright hall. Some controversial background surrounding this park is that some DiLi expert from Taiwan came and dotted this spot as a very auspicious site particularly for ShengJi or living tomb. Needless to say, others disagree. One reason for is that the site lack of natural streams. So, an artificial stream was constructed and separating the site into multiple zones. No main static spot was formed. Can one guess which the multi-million zones are? On Google, one tiny vein is clearly identifiable while the others just continue on. So, technically the dragon is on moving forming the left embrace of the site with a weaker right embrace. Those graves that are closer to this little vein would benefit the most yet their alignments are still crucial. Can this site be used? Yes, just tap the vein. The water mouth is “locked” artificially in a SanYuan manner. Very similar to the one in Semenyih. All is required is to tap into the current prosperous water star. This sort of formation is nice to show about typical memorial landform. Where is the so called, incoming dragon, water and exiting water mouth. The resident master is all ear and eye observing us fearing that we will sabotage some auspicious grave there. However, that is not our cup of tea. Just before signing off, there is a point to note on the facing mountain of a “gold ingot”. Can you see one? GRAVE MATTERS - 28.06.2010Burial plot selection in well organized memorial parks, these days can be a grave matters where one has plenty of potential killing Qi when it is located by the highways of Malaysia with lots and lots of electrical pylons whereas the others don’t even worth a shit although it has appeared numerous time in TV and a series of chasing the dragon sitcom or something liked this with 2 ladies and a guy chirping their ways insulting the Imperial tombs to be much inferior as compared to their sponsor’s memorial park with a distinctively murky water dragons. I wonder, how good can it be? Whereas the last one, although not perfect, as much of the undulating terrains had been pressed down, it is much better in some ways or another compared to the former. First the selection team touch based with the one located besides the highways. Everywhere almost flattened, with only the hill slopes reserved for the privileged. Even so, the undeniable land form Sha, liked the pylons are everywhere. Speaking about the real TaiSui Sha, do we need to place PiYao everywhere to appease the TaiSui? Next, we arrived at the one, so well advertised in the media and endorsed by the one of the academy in town. The sale team brought us to the worst locations with the bright hall facing the alley with a price tag as big as the mammoth. How about the good lots? Well, at the moment the so called good one is not released for sale. Honestly, even the so called good one is also not so good. Look at the so called water dragon in murky formations. The imperial lots are facing the unlocked water mouth. How good can that be? One thing good, there is no pylon to be seen. Well, the last option is to see the one neighboring park. Upon entry there is a huge dragon sucking the pearl. Is this FengShui or Mc FengShui? You do the calling. After many rounds of turning, we finally arrived at a location with an acceptable bright hall. What is lacking is the crossing of the gap, which has been flattened. So the Qi is going to be leaked. Well, nothing is perfect and it is all heaven’s will. Even within the same location, the plot at a step above which has already been taken, has a better Qi capacity compared to the lower one. Such formation is called white tiger crossing bright hall. Does it means to say the female has more authority? Burial plot selection in a well organized memorial park is quite a different cup of tea, especially when the terrain has been muddled with the absents of the trail of the veins, disappearing of the natural niche and the constructions of the retaining wall which sometimes make the slope even steeper at the rear. The best thing is do we need a LuoPan for such an exercise? Maybe not. An I-Phone with pre loaded LuoPan is better. Think about it… MOOLAH OF THE MOOSTI SPOT - 03.11.2008I find it rather amusing that the art of KanYu is devoid of spiritual practice as claimed by the academy in town, whereas the so called best spot in reserved for the erection of the Earth Guardian spirit pavilion. This spot could be set aside for other millionaires’ or millionaire wannabe’s grave, to tap into the surrounding petal formation. Wouldn’t it be a silly venture to give it to the deity instead of the bones of the mortal if the same logic were to be applied? On another note, is it a spot that has been located in the first place or merely a fabricated spot instead? Good question! In 2006, I visited the so called spot. The table mountain is rather elongated bun liked shape. What do we called this? Sleeping WuQu? The height is a little too high. The left embrace is called dragon crossing bright hall, longer and extending to the table mountain. The tiger embrace is shorter and lower. Both embraces are high by any standard, however, sentimentally embracing. Water is flowing from the left to the right, quite a miss in a way, not a great water dragon, but a great water lizard instead. Usable, yes I would have thought, but re-engineering required. The parent mountain, very weak. In conclusion, by any natural observation of the landforms, strictly speaking, cannot have formed a spot. Well, nobody said it is ideal, except the academy. In 2008, I visited the very same spot, now occupy by the Earth Guardian spirit pavilion. I was there under the invitation of the agent, notably sales wasn’t that promising. I wonder why? The entire scene has been re-engineered. The table mountain has been reshaped, a sexier look reflecting JuMen, jade pillow as what they called. The height of the embrace, Table Mountain has been compensated by raising the altar to an “appropriate” level. The tiger embrace has been strengthened with a building. Water dragon has been widen and no longer a lizard looking one, forced to enter into the bright hall from the left embrace. The work of genius is displayed by anchoring a building at the back of the pavilion, reflecting the missing parent mountain. That keeps me occupy for a fact, where is the crossing of the gap, almost unseen or if there is any in the first place? I really can’t tell. The re-engineering effect is neat and I keep wondering at what cost and at what sort of promises that had been made to produce the desired effect for the entire sanctuary? Only time would tell. Coincidentally, I bump into the so called split dragon rock at the incoming water location. Next, while this blog is penned, I bump into another blog that speaks about the same split rock, meaningful coincident I called. Not quite a good omen. It reflects that the veins had been severed and I wonder which part of it? The site in question or the opposite one. It however did not face in the axis of the opposite site, which is almost flattened and this may mean that the damages are done, beyond cure. The good news is there is another on left intact. So as I was looking for the moolah from the moosti spot, I really found nothing but a prefabricated one. Yet within a prefabricated one, I found a real moosti laying on the opposite site. At least the moolah has been found, all I need is to get to the moosti. Any hope? SEMENYIH MEMORIAL - 07.09.2008Measurements: Incoming Dragon: 壬寅 Water Mouth: 坤申 / 丁未 Structure: Wood SanHe Method Analysis: - Metal frame Incoming dragon controlling wood frame water gate. Is this an auspicious site? What does this portend? How do one arbitrate the situation? This site had been ear marked as the next sanctuary for managed memorial parks. In the event if the site is auspicious the site would have been lustfully developed since. Why it takes so long even to be noticed or had we missed some thing important? Which sitting would the grave be located? In the micro context, would one able to locate the spot? POSTSCRIPTThis site has been designed to keep the original contour intact. The lack of a stream is apparent. They practically dug out a man-made stream enlarging the existing earth drains from the plantation. The drawback of the site besides the absent of the stream shall be its location that sit within the main Qi source – Titiwangsa Range. It is said that the dragon has not stop, thus the meridian will not form. With the stream cutting the site into halves, River North and River South, both sides are designed with graves overlooking the stream. RIVER NORTHSuits water exiting from 艮寅 to 丁未. Conforming to water and wood frames. Yin structure. RIVER SOUTHSuits water exiting from 坤申 to 癸丑. Conforming to metal and fire frames. Yang structure. CONCLUSIONSuch design of Memorial Park has been very instrumental in deploying SanYuan methodology of Ling Zhen Principles. Notwithstanding such, it also conforms to SanHe methodology to the dot. The recent events in the politic of Bolehland has placed the country in the world map. All the sudden we now knew that its Prime Minister is a Billionaire as some wealthy Arab donated RM 2.6 Billion into his personal account, something that he admitted – so it is a fact. A sudden windfall in 2013 (癸巳) is indeed worth investigating especially so if it has to do with his house FengShui. Yet in 2015 (乙未), all Hell break loose resulting even the sacking of its DPM. Has it also got to do with his house FengShui? News has been gone around the FengShui circle that a number of Top Notch FengShui masters had been engaged to help him with the election of Bolehland in 2013. True enough he has benefitted from their services in the expanse of the people of Bolehland. Talk about ethics? The ideal of “Savior of the Poor” has long gone… it is now, “Savior of the Rich”. However, why didn’t our YangGong people do a case study of these 2 very important people of Bolehland? SEARCHING THE DRAGON AND OBTAINING THE MERIDIAN Modern way of FengShui site selection require just a Google maps and a template of a YangGong LuoPan. YangGong old method basically only use 3 rings – the 72 Dragon and the Heaven plate being the most important (as shown). Before we proceed any further, we have to first play by the following rules: -
Very simple isn’t it? This are the secrets of YangGong revealed as per the writings of KV Yang. LAND FORMThe original site has no water. The lakes and water bodies were manmade and according to someone of the knowhow has been advised by some FengShui masters whom follow closely to the principle of Water Dragon by the legendary Jiang DaHung. We knew part of the story as we were engaged to do some work by the previous PM. The city does not grew by itself organically. It is implanted by sheer political will. Until today, the population rate there is still relatively low. If we go by the typical land form principle, the main Qi source is coming from the Titiwangsa range branching off from the NE to SW. Abiding by the 1st principle of riding ShengQi, the water mouth should be somewhere along SW, Kun sector. The decision to locate building A is decided based on the astrological chart of the previous PM and building B is rather arbitrarily. The previous PM is born in 1925 (YiChou) – earth element. Building A sits direct Ren – water element. So, technically it is also his wealth but he uses a Bing – fire sitting main door, which produces him. He however, did not stay there long enough. True enough, after having to work in that building he is suffering from the stress of his very own legacy and one fine day, decided to call it a day by retiring. It is not easy controlling another element. The following PMs who lived there all have their fair shares of FengShui effects. Building A and B all faces the water bodies, as a typical assumption that a good FengShui building must sit on highland and face water. BUILDING - AMajor water mouth exiting 丁未 Incoming Dragon between 甲子 and 癸亥 - Major DE. Perhaps conforming 巳西丑 frame Therefore, 丁未 is water exiting nurture. Now, that tells you another story… First and foremost, it is again receiving a major DE. No wonder Bolehland is so lucky? In Yang’s own writing, “In Yang Gong Fengshui, we have the theory and practice of Xiao KongWang and KongWang Dragon (DE Lines) which are only auspicious for Temples but inauspicious for Yin/Yang Zhai.” So, building “A” is doomed? Because it is a major DE not a minor one, the effect is less daunting… Assuming with water exiting Nurture – true enough all the policies so far has back fired and by the way, can we recount, since the government of Bolehland lost its 2/3 majority, any significant milestone its people can be proud of? 2013, 癸巳 water year, the PM had a windfall deriving at the expanse of the people. Does it reflect from the surrounding embrace? 2015, 乙未 year, the private donation is exposed resulting in the sacking of the DPM. Does it reflect from the surrounding embrace? It is not the rock-bottom yet, see 2016 (丙申) that is the full cycle. BUILDING - BMajor water mouth exiting 丁未 Incoming Dragon 戊辰 Conforming 亥卯未 frame Therefore, 丁未 is water exiting grave. Interesting revelation! No wonder the PM in waiting, by the time building “A” is occupied has been elevated to the top post. Even the current incumbent, even after numerous attempt to provoke his boss, has been given a boot at a very-very last moment and yet still hold supports from the grass root – unbelievable! Best of all, he has the support from the god-father of Bolehland! IN CONCLUSION...The trail of events had been dramatic. At one point all these expose has been deemed “hearsay”. Follow by a series of court cases that look and sound mockery and leading to the sacking of the entire team comprises of very important individuals to the burning of Bukit Aman, free fall of Ringgit and so forth… Has such unfolding events due largely to the FengShui of building A and B? Can we claim the “bad” FengShui of building A is largely due to the major Death and Emptiness (DE) alignment? Has the complicated water dragon assisted in one way or another? These are interesting questions… WANT TO LEARN MORE?Click HERE for detail.
Investigating another contemporary millionaires of the past, the name Zhang BiShi must be mentioned. In his story, his FengShui legacy is not within his grave that has benefitted his descendants. It is really about his residence’s FengShui that had affected his entire family’s fortune. In this case, the famous Blue Mansion of Penang. It is really a sad story of how his appointed FengShui master messed up his entire fortune and it is believed that it has all to do with a notable lineage having its home ground in Shanghai specializing first the claimed WuChang School of XuanKong. WHO IS ZHANG BISHI?Summary from Wikipedia: - Cheong Fatt Tze 張弼士 Zhang Bìshì born 1840– death 1916 was a Chinese businessman and politician. He was a powerful Nanyang industrialist and a first-class Mandarin in the Manchu government; he was made Consul-General in Singapore and economic advisor to the Empress Dowager. He started working at an early age as a cowherd back in his village and had to migrate to South-East Asia to seek his fortune. He started as a water-carrier and then became a shopkeeper in Indonesia. He established a trading company with the help of his father-in-law. Gradually, he began to accumulate his. In 1886, he expanded again to Penang, where he was appointed the Chinese Consul. In 1899, he was summoned to China twice by the Emperor of China to be promoted as the Minister. Subsequently, the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce was established. In 1904, he established the first Chinese school in Southeast Asia. In 1912 Cheong was appointed as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Kuomintang. He was also appointed as the Chairman of the Chinese national Chamber of Commerce. In 1915, he was sent to the United States and during his journey, he stopped over in Hong Kong and received his Ph.D. in Law. Cheong Fatt Tze died in Indonesia in 1916. His body was sent back to China to be buried and survived by his eight wives and owned many residences throughout his trading empire (mostly Southeast Asia) but made Penang his base, where he raised his six sons. THE ANALYSISBack in 2010, Yifengshui wrote: - It was strange, a FengShui structure will only benefits the bread winner and not the entire household; especially when it is originated from a society where family ranks the top priority. We always mistaken for the fact that when an alignment is made, it will usually benefits one person. This, however, is not entirely true. Even the BaZi chart of the entire family is closely knitted, how may it not benefited the entire family at large? In the attempt for FenFang, distributing of prosperity, some family members will benefit first then the others. All depends on the whim and fancy of the master who made such an alignment. However, in the case of the Blue Mansion, it is yet, another cup of tea. The fact is the patron died, the family gone bankrupt and the loss of descendent. Good FengShui? Blame it to Period Change? The structure of the house is at its optimum 4 point gold formation, with all the bad sectors liked kitchen and staff quarters taken out as a separate building, forming the table mountain. Almost grid liked structure. The order of the day being the method of 9 Star distributing auspiciousness with door locating method (modern version is Flying Star). Straddled between period 2 and period 3, with 1-3 (2-4) combinations arriving at the facing. Timely 3 (2) meeting 1 white (4), superior formations, according to the XuanKong School! Soon after, disaster began to befall one after the other. What has gone so wrong with the 1-3 (2-4) Star combination? 旺财不旺丁? Where the notion of Mountain governs people luck and water governs wealth? Does Qi actually flow according to the vehicle's direction? This is a “failed” attempt back in 1900. Next time, when a practitioner tell you he applied the same theory when auditing or are using the Fighting SanSha method in XKDG, better think twice! On another note, its sitting may have told you another side of the story? Possible, FengShui espionage designed for failure just liked the case of the Forbidden City ? THE POSTSCRIPTThe Blue Mansion is sitting Death and Emptiness (DE 空亡). Following the SanHe doctrines, sitting DE is inauspicious. This mansion was designed to have a maze of special rain water down pipes feature that conforms to XuanKong principles. Water collected in the gutter will be flush down in a swirling pattern beneath the center courtyard, and discharged via the drains outside of the house conforming to the water dragon principles.
Since the method employ does not use the 72 Dragons plate, the FengShui masters did not realize that it sits on a DE. In fact, most of the physical structure was DE. Such, in fact was the cardinal believes of the school at that time that siting DE is the most auspicious gold division one could achieved. The story does not end here. The fall of Blue Mansion FengShui is now the hallmark for one SanHe school as a living testimonial of its success. There has been a lot of hypes in YangGong GuFa (YangGong Old Method) lately and surprisingly Malaysia has been a really good place to study for some reasons that it is rich in history of multi-millionaires and our currency Ringgit is having a free fall as this article is written. Among all the old graves and old buildings that one may be taken to research on YangGong Old Method, which surprisingly, does not belong to only One School, the research on an individual who highhandedly built TaiPing and a grand philanthropist plus the greatest ever Chinese Mafia in town is worth investigating. One may Google this name, Chung KengQuee to find out. Roughly, Kapitan China Chung KengQuee 郑景贵 Zheng JinGui born 1821 – death 1901. He was the founder and administrator of modern Taiping in Perak, appointed by the British in 1877. He was a millionaire philanthropist and involved in many other industries. He was respected by both Chinese and European communities in the early colonial settlement. His survival in the chaotic era owes much to his standing as leader of the HaiSan, a position he is said to have held till early 1884. Kapitan Chung died leaving 10 sons and five daughters. About his family, the eldest son, Zheng TaiYong is adopted. Zheng TaiPing was born in 1879 and died in 1935. Being the genetically fourth son, Zheng TaiPing became Kapitan in 1921 after the death of father 23 years later and he is the most illustrious of his sons. He was appointed as the Federal Malay States Member in 1918 and by 1919 he was appointed as Justice of the Peace by the British Government. Liked his father he is also a triad leader, rich and powerful. He was survived by 6 wives, 10 sons and 7 daughters. THE FINDINGS FROM THE TOMB OF KAPITAN ZHENG JINGGUIMajor water mouth exiting 甲卯. Xue seating 壬申 metal 金. Conforming 巳西丑 frame. 甲卯 is water exiting conceive/sickness. CRITIQUESGoogle map reveals there is no water courses and therefore how do you establish the water mouth? Wouldn’t it be extremely strange for the FengShui master to select a site that has no natural water features, since riding Qi is by virtue of obtaining water? In fact, the grave location has been selected far away from the actual meridian spot vicinity. Wonder why the miss? Is it done on purpose by the FengShui master? ANALYSISIt proves to say that you don't need real water to obtain or determine the real water mouth? This tomb is aligned to sit Kun and face Gen. If you measure accurately, it supposed to give you, based on the 72 dragons, RenShen gold division. This means to say the FengShui master has chosen to ride on this Qi. It is a metal Qi. How is it measured, is a trade secret, something you ought to pay to learn. Among all the 4 Major Water mouth of YangGong Old Method, this Qi correspond most to the Metal Frame of Si You and Chou. To establish a Qi connection, some jargon-ly called it Pearl String SanBan Gua, the frame has to match a physical water mouth. How to establish the physical water mouth is again a trade secret, something you ought to pay to learn. Here it is measured as JiaMao being Double Mountain of the Heaven Ring. This water mouth exiting into Conceive or Sickness Palace depends on the YinYang. How to establish YinYang is again, a trade secret, something you ought to pay to learn. Generally, this tomb being in formation with the land form conforming to YangGong four major water principles, is considered to have been blessed with good FengShui. Yet, who is to benefit from these good FengShui is another subject of discussion. This tomb benefits the sons and the grandsons more. So you can comfortably discard Zheng JinGui’s history. It has also nothing to do as to why the first born is adopted simply because it doesn’t exist in the first instance. It only tell a tale as to why the genetically 4th son’s family is a little more illustrious compared to the rest. This method is called 分房 FenFang. Therefore, would it be more likely that the 4th son engage the FengShui master to do his father’s grave as to prosper himself? To understand the manner of 分房 FenFang in the YangGong old method is to understand how to evaluate the embrace, both peaks and valleys surrounded the grave. For sure this is another trade secret, something you ought to pay to learn. For this case in mind, the embrace quality is as the followings: - Si elegant mountain and water - growth/prosper. You elegant mountain - prosper/growth Hai plump mountain - sickness/conceive Chou water narrow - grave Mao water narrow - conceive/sickness The sector of which the 4th family falls upon is within the 3 nobles and the 6 elegant and these are supported by noble land forms. As to the affairs of Zheng TaiPing achievements, it has something to do with the peaks and the valleys of these embraces. Just take for examples, his officer peak are as: - 1918 (WuWu) - appointed as the Federal Malay States Member 1919 (JiWei) - he was appointed as Justice of the Peace by the British Government 1921 (XinMao) - became Kapitan How to read this is again, another trade secret, something you ought to pay to learn. Nothing to do with Flying Star, QiMen Chart or even the BaZi chart. It is all within the surrounding land forms. Saying such same deduction would be obtained if you know SanYuan QianKun GuoBao or LongMen BaDaJu methodology. Therefore, it is extremely strange that when you see Electrical Pylons dotting the memorial parks and yet it is classify as grade – A FengShui burial land, something must be very wrong… POSTSCRIPT
WHO IS YANGGONG?There are 2 versions to the History of Great Grandmaster Yang JungSong 楊筠松. The first version as most of us were told, the Great Grandmaster Yang JungSong, the official historical logbook 《南安府志》 reads: “Yang JungSong 楊筠松, citizen of Dou Zhou 竇州, was an officer during the reign of Xi Zhong 僖宗. He was in charge of Spiritual and Feng Shui Affairs. He reached the highest position of Golden Purple Light Prosperity Minister 金紫光祿大夫. When rebels headed by Huang Cao 黃巢 broke into the capital city, he cut short his hair and fled to Mount Kunlun 昆侖山." The second version as rarely known, the Great Grand master Yang JungSong 楊筠松 was never be found in the official historical records of the Historian. There was however, a very small position held by him as a prison warden. Fate has brought him to encounter a prisoner who is a well versed FengShui master known as Qiu YanHan 丘延翰. In an attempt to help this prisoner to escape, he was taught YuHan Jing, the Classics of Jade Envelope 玉函经. The Great Grandmaster Yang JungSong 楊筠松, as the warden, later shown a partly decomposed corpse to the Emperor, convincing his majesty that the deceased is indeed the FengShui master Qiu YanHan 丘延翰 that has been condemned to death. Predicting that his deception may not last forever, he took an incident in the palace to flee to FuJian. Which one is real? WHAT OTHERS HAD TO SAY?"Apparently most KanYu ( FengShui ) after Tang and early Song dynasty are either bogus, misleading, or flaw.... And the ancient ones has specified very clearly; like a physician using the wrong approach will lead patient to dire consequences, vis-a-vis Fengshui practitioner who uses the wrong approaches will make matter worse. But of course, the methods have been kept as secret ... transfer only to the trusted ones with the utmost honesty, ethical character and upright personality. Intelligence is secondly - hard to find such people these days. ", - James Liew. [Yifengshui note]: Qiu YanHan 丘延翰 being the contemporary to YiXing 一行, both had their hands in corrupting FengShui classics during the notorious Tang Dynasty so that the neighboring barbaric countries such as Korea and Japan will not prosper surpassing China. Such hideous act has also been the hallmark of modern contemporary masters that only wish to serve their masters with regardless to ethics and moral. One point in mind: -
[Yifengshui note]: Qiu YanHan 丘延翰 finally has to face his very own Karma. He found an emperor producing spot and owing to such, he was thrown into the prison. What happened thereafter, was claimed to be a faithful encounter with Yang YunSong, who is claimed to be responsible of freeing him. He left and started his very own lineage of FengShui, only to be survived by Qing BuZi, the Green Cloth Master 青布子, who sets out a totally different approach to FengShui and the forerunner of SanYuan DaGua. THE EULOGY OF QIUGONGThis piece of work called the Eulogy Of QiuGong was claimed to have been written in the Tang Dynasty. Yet, the nature of the prose is very unpolished compared to the work of his disciple, YangGong. It is strongly believed that it has been written by very much later scholars notably from the SanYuan school. Most of the doctrines inclined towards SanYuan methodology compared to SanHe. Most likely also the original passage was not spared from being bastardized just liked the other classics. So care has to be taken when reading this work. The beginning passage was laden by method pointing towards antiquity notably the use of WuYin as the principle factor for establishing the SanBan Gua, now known as the FuMu SanBan Gua. It says nothing about the east and west river FuMu SanBan Gua. It is all about the categorisation of SanBan Gua based on WuYin. How did Jiang DaHung came about FuMu SanBan Gua? 《丘公頌》唐-丘延翰元女青囊海角經,神仙傳授甚分明,有人會得三般卦,五百年中一間生。 青囊自古秘斯文,但覆多年舊塚墳,山水變時局也變,便知吉凶見分明。 五音共使三般卦,八貴都尋六貴龍,若有英賢明此理,間生千載一相逄。 三般大卦如何起,元女當年親口傳,三吉只求來勢好,向家須變鬼爻看。 五行生旺要精通,向水安墳出此中,但用向中裝本卦,便知流水吉和凶。 八星有主誰能識,地下稱尊少人知,惟有赤松明此理,後來翻作八山推。 陰陽俱有少流源,但有長岡並遠巒,用得步中生炁穴,也多財祿也多官。 陰陽位上本無山,只有長水活澗泉,但向水流朝揖處,此間榮貴勝如山。 陰陽山水俱周足,此地尋常莫與人,多福神祇常護惜,折君年命損君身。 陰陽混襍事難期,縱合天星未可知,用得一宫山水足,斷他富貴未無疑。 三陽高大入雲霄,駟馬高車德動朝,賢俊子孫清又貴,爲官代代出英豪。 五凶砂水不全無,大抵須令向外居,若也不高當吉位,自然禍患永消除。 來凶不合六條龍,空自千重與萬重,漫說子孫榮貴事,也應難免禍災凶。 六貴須求十里山,短支旁隴用應難,山行十里非真骨,切莫遷移悞世間。 陽位來山男更多,陰山只是旺靑娥,陰陽相配俱周足,孝義兒孫發福多。 時師亂説吉和凶,只道山山是吉龍,問到五音觀地相,心頭撩亂不知蹤。 五音共患千般病,八卦頻遭萬種殃,筭得萬千神禍事,都緣死塟恶龍岡。 本音衰絕最多凶,切莫安墳向此中,山水緩迎方是吉,艮山寅甲忌相逢。 得地方知下穴難,時師莫把等閒看,未明六甲來山訣,莫去山頭錯認山。 不合星山莫用心,壞他山水悞他人,吉凶自有天然穴,用得天然穴始寧。 星山折水須知訣,六甲雖同用不同,若值本宫無氣穴,兒孫猶恐受貧窮。 天禽地獸本來同,行步分明逐六龍,後代不知安穴法,下之多有禍災凶。 六龍只得一條山,五姓相生更可安,合得陰陽山水位,扦塋富貴出英賢。 來山須吉歲相刑,禍福相兼歲歲生,若值本宫和合處,更無災眚及兒孫。 武曲來龍自古强,角音葬此受災殃,非他吉地為凶地,自是時師不審詳。 天星八卦細推詳,八卦明時配六龍,定取穴中三吉穴,自然財祿免災凶。 八山八煞要詳明,天上呼為絕體名,乾坤艮巽重疊見,坎離震兌遁相併。 八山八煞最多凶,水入山家五鬼宫,代代子孫多病死,灾癀徒配壞家風。 來龍骨格脈分明,須看年星與月星,年月星辰相會合,自然富貴與安寧。 尋龍須要問五行,更將年月合龍形,龍形五星相會合,家門災禍永無生。 一條流水一條山,坐向分明正好安,但合本音年與月,斷然財祿旺家門。 吉地由來不比常,但求龍虎勢來長,若還十里無决破,世代兒孫坐廟廊。 來山須得龍離母,起伏迢迢百里長,損壽破財人敗絕,皆因祖葬大山岡。 遠遠尋龍到水邊,好將墳穴逆安扦,何須更問諸山足,只此饒財又出官。 一條流水遠兼長,秀水彎環入旺方,百里以来多起伏,定知此地不尋常。 十二龍形各不同,細分頭尾認真蹤,此山來長百里遠,葬者須居太乙宫。 六般風穴巧安排,須是重重羽翼開,百里以來無斷絕,兒孫官職此中來。 高昂勒馬轉回頭,伏虎灣腰傍水流,臥犬臥牛頭角異,多因爭戰得封侯。 禽如生耳文星現,獸角崢嶸武職當,水口有洲多變異,定知財福不尋常。 DISCUSSION..."Has people know of SanBan Gua", Qiu YanHan is challenging others of the secrets of San BanGua, the real family of the Hexagram, before even JinFang proposes his version of the BaGong Gua, that is so commonly use in XuanKong DaGua. This is absolutely wrong.
"Green Satchel since ancient time is a mystery to the literate one", obviously he is well versed with the work of Yellow Stone also called Red Pine Master. The secret of SanBan Gua is within the Green Satchel? "WuYin (The 5 Tonal Values) commonly make known the SanBan Gua, The 8 nobles entirely seek the 6 noble dragon", Qiu YanHan specifically state the the basis of SanBan Gua is WuYin. But what is the 8 nobles seeking the 6 noble dragons? 8 Guas, discarding the parent Gua and use the children Gua, just like what the XuanKong LiuFa people advocated? "SanBan DaGua (Huge Hexagram) how to obtain?", Qiu YanHan specifically say that to obtain this Huge Haxagram, "3 Auspicious to seek is most good,", but what are these 3 auspicious "Five elements growth prosper must be proficient,", this single word itself confused many as though DaGua is applied in that manner. The usual question is what produce what? What controls what? "Facing water establish burial derive within,", this single statement comprises 3 components, most SanYuan people would say, namely Facing, Water Exit to establish the sitting Mountain. This sitting mountain Gua is what known as the principal Gua, "But to use facing within wear obtain the body Gua,". So, the reference point is always the sitting Gua as the host, the rest are the guests. The predominant factor is vested on the YinYang flow of water, "Generally to know the flow of water auspicious or inauspicious.". By the same token, Qiu YanHan is suggesting that, "Five elements growth prosper must be proficient", is applied to YinYang water flows. This is the basis of your San BanGua.

QingNanXu 青囊序 is known to be written by Zheng WenChang 曾文辿. The original version is called LongShui Jing 龙水经. This classic was renamed when it is included in DiLi BianZhen 地理辨正 as QingNanXu 青囊序 mutilated by Jiang DaHung 蔣大鴻. The greatest different is the missing chapters called Xiao XuanKong 小玄空. It is believed that he coined 大玄空 from here. It is said to have contained the methods of measurement with the LuoPan. Xiao XuanKong 小玄空 has been withheld as an annex to SanHe FengShui, a forerunner of SanYuan. QingNanXu 青囊序 is never considered to be an important textbook for the YangGong GuFa (Old method) lineage for the reason that it is not written by YangGong himself. If you read the contents with the lens of YangGong method, it does fall in places. However, there are many "strange" terminologies or jargon that had confused a whole lots of FengShui masters past and current. For example: -
Perhaps we may simply not able to read as classical writing has no comma and full stops although it is structured in a 7 characters rhyme, common to all Tang Dynasty styles of writing, for example: -
Therefore, by this mysterious term or jargon called the Time Master (時師), you can virtually form another school of thought, otherwise it is just a simple expression of "to use the double mountains in profound (knowledgeable) contemplation". Well, someone told us that Time Master (時師) is the Heaven Plate. Really? No matter what is to be said about QingNanXu 青囊序, as its name implied, it is a far more important Preface summarizing all of YangGong techniques, only if you are able to discern what has been written. YiFengshui brings to you a simple translation of QingNanXu 青囊序 and if it doesn't bored you down, it will elevate you onto another levels of FengShui proficiency, hopefully.
Walking the Dragon is extremely fun. One being as you have to pay exorbitant fee to be shown around beautiful scenery and how and what a TangLang star may looks like, you will also be shown actual spot that may be a “needle width” where you could burry some of your DNA as “ShengJi” and really hope that by the time you arrive home, you will be the next billionaire. Well, the last time I heard is that walking the Dragon to China costs more than USD40,000? Really wonder who is the billionaire? 三年寻龙 , 十年点穴. Ancient master said, it takes 3 years to walk the dragon 三年寻龙 and 10 years to dot the meridian spot 十年点穴. It means to say to walk the dragon is very tedious process and to dot the meridian is even more difficult. Assuming the method one learnt is correct, if not even a 100 years you may not able to dot the meridian correctly. Locating the meridian point is not an easy venture.
The sole purpose of walking the Dragon is to locate the “holy – spot” called the meridian. Tons had been written about it and some said it is as small as a “needle width” but that is not very true. Such subject is largely referred to as Static Meridian, where only with the right natural conditions, such a spot would emerged. It is so “holy – molly” that only an earth deity would able to reveal to the deserving one not otherwise it is impossible to find. Even if it is chanced upon, you would need to “barter trade” your lifespan for the prosperity of your later generations. Anyway, walking the Dragon can now be simplified with GoogleEarth, just to get the basic right as for example incoming and outgoing water and so forth. Back to NuoDeng, isn’t it rather strange that the prosper areas are not within the TaiQi plain and they are not within the highland but the lowland or rather flatland? Even with walking the Dragon, what do we need to observe? How or rather what do we measure with our LuoPan? The dynamic aspect is what we require to measure – because that is how we know Qi flow. If we do not know Qi flow, what else do we measure? This is where Qi map becomes very important.
Only when you really need to dot the meridian point, you will need to do some walking the Dragon. You need to measure the appropriate heights of the embraces in relation to the incoming vein. ZangShu 葬书 is believed to have been written by GuoPu 东晋郭璞原著, although there is no record that he has done so. Again as at to date there are various version of ZhangShu and 2 versions stood out to be one an account for SanHe school, duly rectified and edited by the YangGong old school patriarch, the late Li DingXin, while the other for the rest, notably SanYuan school.
On this chapter we are investigating the notion of the 4 Guardians land form as best contradicted the very land form of China being the birth place of FengShui. 葬书 (李定信修正) 地有四势,气从八方,故砂以左为青龙,右为白虎,前为朱雀,后为玄武。 玄武垂头,朱雀翔舞,青龙蜿蜒,白虎顺俯。 形势反此,法当破死。 故虎蹲谓之衔尸,龙踞谓之嫉主,玄武不垂者拒尸,朱雀不舞者腾去。 Translation: - ZangShu (Editted by Li DingXin) Land has 4 forms, Qi originates from 8 locations, Thus, land form on the left is Green Dragon and right is White Tiger, In-front is Red Phoenix, back is Black Tortoise. Black Tortoise lay with sunken head, Red Phoenix rising, Green Dragon hovering, White Tiger coaching. If forms and contours are reversed, burial will result in devastation. Therefore Tiger on guard is like holding the corpse in its mouth; Dragon on guard is like an envious master; Black Tortoise that stood up rejects the corpse; If Red Phoenix that does not dance will fly away.” Commentary: - In geography, there are 3 dragons coming into China from west to the east, before branching into 5 branches namely Qian, Kun, Kan, Li and Dui. Thus the western side of China is always higher than the eastern side. If South is taken as the facing, we would end up having the white tiger higher than the green dragon. This is a geographical fact. It is also said that all veins has its origin from the KunLun Mountain. KunLun range is at about 13,000 ft. or higher at the region of the Tibetan Plateau, running along sides the Himalayas, branching out to Karin Basin, Gobi and Greater Khingan Range back dropping the Manchurian Plains, whereas the others bordering the great Yangze, Yellow and Xi Rivers. Apparently this is the source of all major rivers from Brahmaputra and the Chinese Great Rivers. Apparently only Yangze, Yellow and Xi Rivers flow down the fertilized Sichuan Plains before exiting to the North China Sea and Yellow Sea at the Eastern region of China and Brahmaputra turns into the region of Bhutan and Bangladesh. At this juncture, it does not fit well into the prescription of good land form in accordance to ZhangShu? The issue is with our understanding of ZhangShu as it never say that the green dragon has to be higher than the white tiger. It merely states the nature of these guardian land form should be in terms of spatial vastness. One other point, green dragon is associated with male therefore Yang and white tiger is female therefore Yin. If the dragon side is higher than the tiger side, water will flow from the dragon side to the tiger side ultimately enriching the female rather than the male and such is a big taboo in traditional Chinese family. Similarly if the tortoise side is higher than the phoenix side, the presumed good FengShui formation will be sitting Yang facing Yin yet we call the bright hall as facing Yang? Such cannot be true! |
