黃帝宅經 - DISCOURSE 01

Our write up on HuangDi ZhaiJing has spurred interesting discourse among learned friends from our Facebook and the Forum. Among the very strong advocates of YangGong method, a number of concerns had been discussed and herewith we would like to sum up as the followings: -

Animated Yin-Yang symbol

If you wanted to somehow illustrate the complex vorticular dynamics of the dual Torus structure that defines black holes on all scales all in one simple 2-dimensional symbol, you might draw something similar to the ancient Chinese Yin and Yang symbol. This animation, which was created by animators directed by Nassim Haramein for his "Black Whole" DVD, shows how the dual torus and the Yin Yang are describing the very same dynamics through animated graphics. The "Black Whole" DVD and the "Crossing the Event Horizon" 4 DVD set are both available from the The Resonance Project Foundation:http://resonance.is/explore/store/

夫宅者，乃是陰陽之樞紐、人倫之軌模。非夫博物明賢，無能悟斯道也。

The site is the pivot of yin and yang and the standard for human relationships. Only the learned and illuminated worthy will be able to understand its Way. 

Comment: The site is the pivot of Yin Yang. What does it means? Clue, the concept is not a line with opposite polarities but a dot as a pivoting point.

再入陰入陽，是名無氣。

Repeatedly entering yin or entering yang is called the absence of Qi. 

Comment: How is this in real life application? What are we measuring? This concept is important because Qi has qualities and strength. This verse introduces the concept of the strength of Qi. How to physically audit the strength of Qi, even before taking out a LouPan to measure direction. Absence of Qi is referring to the strength. It is minimum rather than nothing. There is also no maximum in the sense but a rise to a higher value. 

YinYang in FengShui is referring to very specific items, the study of Qi based on CiXiong. Classics: Yang Gong grow old observing CiXiong, all the books in the world are all different. This verse introduce the concept of strength of Qi for different sites. There are sites which receive more Qi and there are sites which receive less Qi. This is about strength and not quality. Quality of Qi is another method of measurement. 

For a highland dragon, steep site, the Qi goes deeper. For a lowland dragon, flatland, the Qi is shallower. Does that mean for steep site the Qi is stronger? No, the strength is dependent on the length of the dragon. As a result, some fengshui masters interpret it as the mountain ranges going all the way to the Himalayas. Is it referring to the length of the mountain ranges? Dragon is a representation. 

凡移來不論遠近，一裏、百里、千里、十步與百步同。

In general, the incoming influences are not affected by distance. One li, one hundred li, one thousand li, ten paces and one hundred paces are the same.

Comment: When measuring dragon, what do we measure? Someone commented that mountains normally cover more than 30 degrees, so how is it possible to measure dragon accurately? Another master taught to measure the peak of the mountain. Another person commented that there are no mountains in Singapore. 

Where to put the loupan is never in the classics, it is meant to be handed down. Where to place the loupan? Why loupan has different settings, as questioned in another posting? First of all, what are we measuring. The static or the dynamic value. Heaven, Earth and Human. In XKDG, why is the middle plate not in the loupan? Did they make a mistake or we cannot see because we don't know. In SanHe, why the middle plate is sometimes omitted? Did they make a mistake again. Static or dynamic value.

三度重入陰陽，謂之無魂；四人謂之無魄。

If Yin or yang is entered three times, the site is said to be without soul. If it is four times, it is said to be of soul without spirit.

Comment: What are we measuring?  Three times enter Yin Yang; what is entering? Is it three Yin or three Yang? Is it one Yin and two Yang? Without understanding the first verse, is it possible to comprehend the rest? 
The opening sentence of the Book states: -

1. TaiJi
   
2. YinYang
   
3. “one produces two, two produce 3, three produces the myriad things – YiJing”
   
4.  BaGua

Every plate has its own secret… 

若一陰陽往來，即合天道自然，吉昌之象也。

If there is an equal coming and going of yin and yang then it is at one with the Heavenly Way and naturally there is an expression of auspiciousness and abundance. 

Comment: What are we trying to match?

二十四路者，隨宅大小，中院分四面，作二十四路。十幹十二支，乾艮坤巽，共為二十四路是也

But after auditing the Yin Yang, the next step is auditing the 8 directions before moving on to the 24 mountains.

Comment: The verse should be "when analyzing big we look at big, when analyzing small we look at small". We can never get perfect FengShui.  

1. When we look at the big, referring to the most important part such as YinYang, we audit and work with the big item. 
   
2. When we look at the medium, such as the trigrams, we audit and work with the medium item. 
   
3. When we look at the 24 mountains, we audit and work with the 24M. 
   
4. When we look at the 64 hex, we audit and work with the 64 hex. 
   
5. When we look at the 72D, we audit and work with the 72D. 
   
6. We might not get the best Yin Yang, but we can still work with the smaller items. 
   

陰陽之宅者，即龍也。陽宅龍頭在亥，尾在巳；陰宅龍頭在巳，尾在亥

A site which is both yin and yang constitutes a dragon. For a yang site the dragon's head is located in the terrestrial branch Hai and the tail is located in the terrestrial branch Si. For a yin site the dragon's head is in Si and the tail is in Hai. 

Comment: Yin or Yang house, represented as a dragon. With Yang starting from Hai and Yin starting from Si, introducing the idea of 12 Chang Sheng Qi phase which is measuring the quality of the Qi. 

How do you explain the yin house and yang house? Why for a Yang house the head is at Hai? What about the other parts on yin and yang? How do you explain? 

Interesting. In our understanding, for a Yang house we use a LouPan with Hai as the ChangSheng and Si as the dead Qi. For a Yin house (not a tomb), we use a LouPan with Si as the ChangSheng and Hai as the dead Qi. 

But before we do all that, we would identify the yin yang based on the house and its relation to the topography. Then we would match the entering yin and entering yang to determine the strength of the Qi. After that we would check the three and four entering yin or entering yang before we go any further into trigrams and 24 mountains. Exactly as written in the book.  If the first three steps are as detailed in the book as without soul, it is very difficult to do any FengShui based on whatever school.

就此五種，其最要者唯有宅法，為真秘術。

At this point of 5 "kinds of cultivation", then must have only "residential confinement" method, is truly secret techniques.

Comment: Translated as 5 sittings, but is it referring to sitting or something else?  There are 5 different setting, the most important for 'house method', we termed fengshui, which is the real deal. What setting is it referring to? Why only 5? Why is this the mysterious secrets? Sure the mysterious secret not about the 5 Nayin, metal, wood, fire, water, earth. So 5 yang sitting is the mystetious secret. The other 19 is Yin? Real AiXing is taken from “宅” not from facing. “宅” is a dwelling or what? That is what should be researched on, rather than any other topic.
