楊公古法分叉水 - THE WATERSHED OF YANGGONG OLD SCHOOL

12/7/2016

THE YANGGONG OLD SCHOOL WATER SHED...

No school is perfect. The Bolehland Conmaster loved to use this very case to demonstrate how bad is his former teacher's YinZhai skill. Apparently this very tomb has been much talked about in the Chinese Metaphysics websites in Chinese and often then not, many other masters would take up this case to bash up the Godfather of YangGong GuFa especially so, from the so called SanYuan proponent. What goes around comes around as the Chinese saying goes, as the Godfather of YangGong GuFa did not mince his words when bashing up other schools within the region of GanZhou including those living in the SanLiao village. Append herewith is part of an example of the sheer criticism lambasted towards the Godfather of the YangGong GuFa...

GANZHOU PREFECTURE DEPUTY MAYOR LIU'S ANCESTRAL TOMB

2007年戌月，笔者与门徒雅浩、昱坤去赣州考察李定信大师的扦地杰作——赣州市刘副市长之祖坟，此地扦于2003年，戌山辰向坐丙戌穴，李大师花了三年才寻得此穴，据说此地穴非常漂亮，让笔者不胜向往之。

2007, October - The author has disciple seeking to rush to GanZhou to study (the late) grandmaster Li DingXing's masterpiece - the GanZhou prefecture, deputy mayor's Liu ancestral tomb. This tomb stated year 2003 sitting Xu facing Chen seats BingXu Xue. (the late) grandmaster Li DingXing spent 3 years to locate this spot. It is said that this meridian is absolutely splendid. The author finds it difficult to imagine.

CRITICISM OF GRANDMASTER LI'S WORK

此地位于赣州市郊红旗水库尾部（哈湖村附近），登穴一看大失所望，用我们客家人的话说：“看低了自己的水平”。如此花假之地，有几个非常明显的缺点，只要稍具相地功夫之人都能看的出来（见简图）。

1、水反弓无情，前山余气铺毡直至刘氏墓前，河水随坚实地块流动反弓射穴，必主子孙忤逆，退败家财。

2、此墓本身很低弱，前山高而凌压，令人窒闷不畅，案朝主官星，今近而高压无情，主官星受制，无升迁之望，子孙难以出头。从山形中，笔者还看出了一股阴邪之气，不禁笑言：“此坟必荫生偷窥女人之癖的子孙。”因为本身低而似趴在地上，侧头仰视前山，其山形如女人双脚交叉，中突一面如女人之私处，又处巽宫女人之方位，组合起来就是一幅趴在地上偷窥女人“穴位”的图像。

3、青龙低陷，远而不护穴，两边山体形成癸丑方位的凹风，主男女丁口有难矣！

4、整体形峦又似一只饥渴欲死之鸟，踉踉跄跄地抢到水边，只想饱饮一腹，那里还顾得上外面有什么猎人弓箭？！其龙势为禄文相衬之体，既是凶神又不开面，何曾有穴！

This location comprises of GanZhou prefecture HongQi resevoir (close to the lake and river nearby). Reaching the spot one look deeply dissapointed. Based on the Hakka's way of saying, it overlooked on's standard. This is just but one ordinary location. Have such obvious defects. Ordinary level master would have easily observed.

1. Reversed bow water unsentimental. Front mountain have unstable Qi flowing to the front of the tomb. Stream water flow like a reverse bow shooting the Xue resulted in descendent not obedient, wealth diminishes.

2. The tomb was constructed too low with front mountain too high, supressing. Causing human affair not smooth. Based on host officer star, it is supressed not sentimental. Host officer star point of view, there will be no promotion, descendent very hard to posper. Based on mountain form, observed one breath of demonic Qi, cannot be fooled around. This grave certainly produce peeping woman’s habitual descendants. This is because the body is very low like ling on the floor, lifting the head to peep above seeing the mountain. The mountain forms look like a crossed leg woman with her private part exposed. Have locate Xun as female palace. Combined like lying on the floor to peep at woman’s underskirt.

3. Green dragon sink do not protect the Xue. Both mountains GuiChou direction sunken gaps. Host and children have difficulties.

4. The entire form is a thirsty almost dying bird. Jugged water edge liked a drunken belly. The place behind looked like a hunter’s arrow? This dragon is LuChun and WenQu in contrast this form, both inauspicious deities once not openly face. Where got Xue!

The rest of the commentaries were gibberish and we shall not repeat here... We just let our readers to have a feel of the sort of bombardment by others regarding this masterpiece by the late Godfather of YangGong GuFa.

WHAT HAS ACTUALLY GONE WRONG...

As demonstrated this tomb was FengShui(ed) by the late grandmaster Li DingXing for the Liu's family. After the burial it was said that the Liu's family undergone sheer bad luck with the bread winner demoted and one of his new born suffered from birth defect. All these was accounted to the late grandmaster's sheer incompetence and thereafter it was known as the YangGong GuFa watershed that has invited all sorts of sacasms and insults from the other various schools of FengShui, with one stated as an example, from the XuanKong school.

One biggest landform defects as mentioned is what probably known as the Reverse Bow Water 反弓水. Back in 2007, one will notice that the river splits with one crossing the bright hall as Reverse Bow Water 反弓水. We do not think that this is the cause of the problem. The root issue is the water split as its incoming water thus receiving watershed formation. What is a watershed, this we shall contemplate later. In the googlemaps of 2016, it is noticed that this defect has been rectified, most likely by another master.

This is also a case that the late grandmaster Li DingXin, wanted to demonstrate his confidence in selecting the earth Xue, among the rest of the elements. He is very confidence that the earth element follows water. Unfortunately, he failed to observe that the formation is receiving Mao water instead of Zi water, thus receiving Death instead of Prosperous water formation...

So, the late grandmaster Li DingXing can also be wrong? Well, who is him, after all?

SOMETHING ABOUT THE LATE GRANDMASTER LI DINGXIN

The late grandmaster Li DingXing, was the head of the GanZhou largest school of YangGong FengShui establishment. He coined the word YangGong GuFa or YangGong Old Method as a branding to distinguish his teaching from the rest of "merry man" FengShui masters earning their livings in SanLiao villages nearby, whom he unapologetically called JiangHu masters (similar to our Bolehland Conmasters). He received his art from his uncle, whom inherited the arts from a long lineage of YangGong practitioners back to the Qing Dynasty as the Imperial FengShui masters. He published a number of books notably the 49 rings of the Chinese LuoPan Explained, where within it, he disclosed, censored and sarcastically bombarded others as JiangHu masters. It is also from his writing that most of us outside the circle of the GanZhou school came to know about YangGong method and one of the Bolehland Conmaster actually begged under his feet to be taught only, later to become the traitor of his own school… If you need the detail please PM us…

WHAT IS A WATERSHED KILLING FORMATION? 分叉水

Confronting Y? - 08052012

A common account of Land form is the challenge to deal with the “Pulling Nose” and the “Piercing Heart” afflictions (ShaQi). Similarly so when we deal with buildings sitting or facing the “Y” configure road, either with Pulling Nose or Piercing Heart effect. Classics are mutually contradicting on these accounts. Their contradictions, however, is consistent if one understand the overall concepts it ought to explain. Here is where applications differ so much from mere theory.

A “Y” configuration is either a road splits into two or both roads connect into one. The former is known to be a water mouth and the latter is known as the water shed. The question is always; will a building facing the water mouth be as auspicious to a building facing a water shed, or vice-versa? Next, a pulling nose effect will happen when the road is flowing outward from the house facing while the piercing Heart effect will happen when the road is flowing inward from the house facing. Compounding both effects to the water shed or water mouth; you end up having a cocktail of “ShaQi” to deal with. Worse, if the setting is within an urban area where the roads are defined by rows of building creating what is probably known as Heavenly Chop afflictions or wind gaps. This is why it is FengShui taboo for a house to face a road or Y junction.

Many case studies revealed that houses in such a location are either vacant or dilapidated. If strictly by the books, it calls for avoidance and probably what is the point of doing FengShui in the first place if there is no cure? However, it is not necessary to be true. There are houses and shops prosper. The question is always – Why? In such doing, it is a land form issue; require a land form solution and probably not the over rated XKDG Fighting Afflictions formula based method.

Confronting Y again? - 25052014

Reflecting one of the article in the now, defunct blog - 13Voices, about Property located on a WaterShed will sure to meet its doom, many of the observations revealed otherwise. It is a FengShui External Taboo no-1 that state, NEVER locate your property in a watershed. For us in QuanYuan, there is a way to go about it - fortunately.

A “Y” configuration is either a road splits into two or both roads connect into one. The former is known to be a water mouth and the latter is known as the watershed. Our article entitled "Confronting Y" is a good reflection of such that it is never Bad FengShui if a property is located in a watershed subject that you know how to position your entrance. The HongKong master always refer to such as "Confronting SanSha".

A case in reference, Shop-A is located in a location that fulfilled its YinYang structure. Used to be a good F&B shop and it was audited by a YangGong master. Few years down the road, it ceased to operate due to high rental.

Shop-B is located in a location of the so called watershed. Many operators failed that include F&B operators. The last tenant rope in another not very well known master. The rest is history. It prosper liked nobody business. You practically have to queue up to get a seat.

The morale of the story, watershed FengShui is salvageable and if you know what to do it brings you windfall.

WHAT IS REVERSE BOW WATER? 反弓水

The Principle of Cul De Sac And Sucking Egg - 06042009

The Neo Urbanism movement has in favour of bringing back the community to scale, opposite of the megalomaniac principle of modernism where size does matter. In the discourse of modern urban design principle, we toyed around the 2 principle ideas of urban form one called the fine grain and the other as the coarse grain. Fine grains are found mostly in traditional town such as Kyoto and ShengYang where the fine grains are reflected to the scale of the roof against the height of the built forms which centralised on the human scale as a reference point. Whereas the coarse grains are modern solutions to our modern problem of congestion, over population and scarcity of land, in which these fine grain towns are stacked up vertically in forms of high rise mega structure with complex networks of roads, flyovers and vertical mapping, called plugs in and plugs out.

The failure of modern urban design principle in addressing the issue of human scale has paved way to the ideology of Neo Urbanism, where the human scale becomes the vital yard stick in examining urban design components such as landmarks, gateways, plaza, edge, nodes and paths are instituted to the right size of a human scale before it is implemented. One product that has signified such an arrival in Malaysia is reflected in Putrajaya, the new administrative capital to Kuala Lumpur.

In the course of my work in Valencia Sungai Buloh, one principle of Neo Urbanism that I find practical is cul-de-sac which give birth to clustered residential with ample parks and pathways clustered liked organic cells, hugging the contours, each manifesting its own identity as a community beacon with huge potentials to grow itself to another community as an entire organism of human inhabitants. In reality only the rich can afford such a dwelling in such a community. It is only the non Architectural trained FengShui master that makes an issue to such wonderful urban solutions by saying it is a sickle formation, therefore very bad Sha Qi – what a disgrace!

What is a sickle formation? Roads that wrap around the cul-de-sac are similar to rivers that wrap around an island and at the concave side of the roads or rivers are deemed to be cut by the sickle, where this is called sickle formation. This is crap!

Second, if there are fewer vehicles, the sickle formation will be less effective. This is another crap! Qi does not travel in car, as Qi does not have a valid driving license. When wind moves, Qi moves. When Qi stop, water coagulates.

Third, in the cul-de-sac formation, there may be a bright hall as the island park. The classics say, bright hall eliminate Sha Qi. So where is the sickle formation?

Fourth, if the sickle is nowhere to be found, how about the pulling nose or piercing heart ShaQi for the unit facing the incoming road that either flow out or flowing in? A pulling nose formation is where water is flowing outward from the main door of the unit in question. Whereas, piercing heart is where water is flowing in directed towards the main door of the unit in question. Answer, these are craps again as the bright hall filters out the unnecessary ShaQi, if any. So what is wrong with a cul-de-sac clustered community, FengShui wise?

Fifth, units facing the water gates are deemed less auspicious based on the premise that water gates must be locked, so that Qi will not disperse. Another less noble saying is that, it is not pleasant to face a property at the ass of the neighbourhood. However such minor concerns can easily be taken cared of by placing what designer called neighbourhood beacons as gateways. So, there is really no fuss at all.

Imagine, getting a FengShui master to teach Architect and Urban Designer to deal with the sickle ShaQi problem is liked teaching them to suck eggs? This is absolutely unwarranted. Worst, if one has to pay a premium for the art of egg sucking, such notion is unimaginable.

Good luck to the egg suckers…

Egg Sucking Jade Belt - 19042010

Strange, wonder what is the different between a Sickle and a Jade Belt formation? That is why there are some suck-eggs practitioners who claimed that all cul-de-sacs are just bad FengShui and yet some claimed island site with roads wrapping around are liked the jade belt around the officer's waist. Very novel indeed.

These brought to mind 2 distinctive developments, namely the KL Sentral at the upper stream and Mid Valley at the lower stream. What makes Mid Valley stands apart from KL Sentral although in terms of logistic, KL Sentral stood to be superior then Mid Valley?

Perhaps the answer is in the Jade Belt Formations or otherwise, egg sucking formation?

玄空大卦深究 - XKDG: NOT EXACTLY FOR IDIOTS

12/6/2016

2 Comments

There is another XKDG 玄空大卦 book in the market for the English readers but this book is not for the uninitiated. It jovially called itself as XKDG: Not Exactly for Idiots. It is a softcover book less than 300 pages written in a lucid style of the author trying to be funny at times to garnish a stale plate with otherwise dry and boring subject. Offered at a price of below USD50.00, with the same amount of “craps” found in live courses for the same subject for most schools of Chinese Metaphysics in the market that would probably burnt a deep hole in your pocket, like nothing less than USD5,000.00. It is truly an instructional book. However, being the initiated reader, we may offer some additional “craps” that is hardly heard of in this subject…

HOW THE HECK YOU GROUP YOUR HEXAGRAMS ? - 八宮位

The openings of the book brought about the groupings of the Hexagram as the followings: -

八宮下卦 - The Palaces Grouping based on the Lower Trigram 下卦 – this is exactly what has been shown in the XKDG ring of the outer plate 外盤, called the Heaven Plate 天盤. In other words, this is also known as the Heaven Plate grouping 天盤八宮位.
八純卦宮位 - The Pure Gua Grouping based on the Upper Trigram – this is scattered all over the XKDG ring of the outer plate 外盤, called the Heaven Plate 天盤, but is identical to the XKDG ring of the inner plate 内盤, called the Earth Plate 地盤. In other words, this is also known as the Earth Plate grouping 地盤八宮位. It is known as Pure Gua 純卦 because the grouping is based on the GuaQi 卦氣 numbers as the group.
九星宮位 - The Nine Stars Grouping based on the Period Numbers 卦運 . Hexagrams are grouped under the star group of such as TangLang 貪狼– 1, JuMen 巨門– 2, LuChun 祿存– 3 and the rest. These grouping is also known as the XKDG Leaning Star 挨星, AiXing Plate 挨星盤. These numbers are reflected as the GuaYun 卦運 numbers.
父母三盤卦位 - The Hexagram Families Grouping based on the extended version of the Nine Stars Grouping. Based on Jiang DaHung’s 蔣大鴻 whim and fancy, he created such thing as River East 江東 and River West 江西 grouping with River North 江北 and South 江南 as their parent Gua 父母卦. This is his definition of Hexagram Families.
京房八宮卦 - The JinFang 京房 Eight Palaces Grouping based on YiLi irreversible order. This form of grouping used extensively in the process called Shuffling Heaven NaJia 渾天納甲, to assign stems and branches into every Yao 爻 of the Hexagram 卦. In between, the concept of out of Gua 出卦 and flipping Yao to change its imagery, ChaoYao HuanXiang 抽爻換象 was formulated. Some went as far as generating a BaGua out of JinFang eight palaces to be introduced into another “crap” called MingShi PanXian 明師盤線.

The missing links are: -

人盤宮卦 - The Human Plate Grouping… Yes, there is such thing called a Human Plate in the SanYuan LuoPan...
先天父母三盤卦位 - The Early Heaven Families Grouping predating Jiang DaHung’s River East and River West with River North and River South as their parent Gua… Before WenWang Gua 文王卦 comes about with the Later Heaven BaGua relationship of Father and Mother with the 6 siblings 六爻, there are a families grouping based on Early Heaven such as Heaven and Earth fixed position right up to Fire and Water do not shoot each other. This is the so called - original families...
With item 2, the entire understanding of GuaQi 卦氣 and GuaYun 卦運 are different, resulted in the reverse order of numbering sequence of the Hexagram… The current odering of the GuaQi 卦氣 and GuaYun 卦運 attached to every Hexagrams are inaccurate... They should have been reversed...
The idea of out of Gua 出卦 and replacement Gua 替卦 will also be different… JingFang 8 palaces Gua 京房八宮卦 only tells that there are always 3 missing Gua within each of the palaces grouping, but it says nothing about replacing such missing Gua... Where do you think this theory comes about?
The missing Mid Heaven BaGua 中天挂…Some called it by many names... PanGu BaGua? ShenNong BaGua? HuangDi BaGua?
The original LianShan and GuiChang Gua 连山易归藏 grouping… It was said to have been lost yet the entire structure of XKDG is built upon this original LianShan and GuiChang Gua grouping... not the Later Heaven YiJing Gua grouping...
And so on and so forth… such as DaGua in 3D?

WHAT IS THE MECHANICS OF XKDG? - 龍山向水

The book proceeded to explain the followings as the core applications of XKDG: -

Dragon, Mountain, Facing and Water 龍山向水. The emphasis is Dragon with Mountain, Facing with Water… Some school says, that because Dragon and Water are fixed, you ought to tilt your main door to achieve the correct or compatible Mountain and Facing. So, technically, you only have to deal with Facing with the location of the Water… This is where “Door Tilting Schools” were born.
Matching GuaYun versus GuaQi… Different school, different stroke… Jiang DaHung’s school will give emphasis on GuaYun… Some others, the GuaQi…
The state of timeliness as in SanYuan versus ErYuan… How to define timeliness of Jiang DaHung’s 9 stars based on upper, middle, lower Yuan or simply the upper and lower Yuan… Different school, different stroke…
The ZhenShen 正神 and LingShen 零神 principles of the Huge SanYuan… Where to see water and where to see mountain…
The meaning of combo 5, 10, 15 and HeTu…

The missing links are: -

Dragon, Mountain, Facing and Water 龍山向水 had totally different meaning altogether… SanYuan measures these differently… One question that most practitioners failed to answer… Do you sit Death and face Growth 座死向生，or sit Growth and face Death 座生向死。? Your callings...
Matching GuaYun versus GuaQi had totally different meaning altogether… GuaYun is the summary of the interaction between the GuaQi of the upper and lower Trigram and has nothing to do with the Jiang DaHung’s River East and River West with River North and River South as their parent Gua…
The state of timeliness is totally irrelevant…
The ZhenShen 正神 and LingShen 零神 principles of the Huge SanYuan 大三元 known in the market is totally off tangent… maybe by a mile?
No mention about the usage of NaYin 納音 elements…
No mention about the YangGong’s 杨公cardinal rules of the 4 major water mouths 四大水口…
No mention about how it is applied from the 2 slices to the 4 imageries, the 8 Guas to the 24 mountains then the 64 hexagram and the 72 Dragons…

HOW TO SET UP A FORMATION IN XKDG? - 定局

The book brought to light some special conditions to adhere to such as: -

Death and Emptiness 空亡…
Out of Gua 出卦… Based on JingFang's 8 Palaces 京房八宮卦...

The book also explained the core structures of XKDG such as: -

One Gua Singularly Pure 一卦純清…
Combo 5, 10, 15 and HeTu …
Kindred Spirit 骨肉柤通…
YuChe Jing’s KunRen Yi 坤壬乙…
The notorious 7 stars robbery 七星打劫…

Points to note: -

One Gua singularly pure structure 一卦純清, Combo 5, 10, 15 and HeTu structures are but common structures with fancy names…
The Jiang DaHung’s version of YuChe Jing’s KunRen Yi 坤壬乙 formations are but a fake… Many tried hard to explain such but failed miserably including the legendary Chen BeiSheng’s explanation of the JuMen Hexagram.
The notorious 7 stars robbery 七星打劫formations… where the one timely star went out the window to rob the auspiciousness of the rest of the 7 untimely stars so that the auspiciousness of that very one star would last 180 years as in SanYuan never been defeated 三元不敗? Wishful thinking… the real application is enshrined in the idea of XieZi 些子. One master in Bolehland that we knew called it – the X factor…

THE "MAGICAL ART OF HARRY POTTER" IN THE HEXAGRAM'S YAO CHANGE... - 用爻法

The book completes the voyage into XKDG by explaining the refined Qi management called Yao: -

定爻法 Fixed Yao method – where the Yao remains the same. You ought to just read the meaning of the Hexagram as it is basis… Some school advocated the reading based on YiJing of the Zhou WenWang or Confucious intepretation.
飛爻法 Flying Yao method – where the Yao is said to “fly” but in actual fact flipped according to JingFang’s 8 palaces sequence…Each of the flipped Yao will be assigned with a respective JiaZi and you read these Yao lines as according to LiuYao or WenWang Gua intepretations...
抽爻換象 Flipping Yao to change the imagery method – where the Yao flip either from Yin or Yang sequence to change to another Hexagram…Only those with the red dots of the Yao ring attached to the Heaven Plate Hexagrams are auspicious...

Can these 3 methods be employed simultaneously? Unfortunately it was not mentioned in the book…

The Fixed Yao method 定爻法 is the core and it always linked back to the original FeiXing and BaZhai Gua intents. They were not meant to be intepreted as a YiJing Gua but for the purpose of Human actions, such as predictions of the occupants of the house and so forth, it can be employed. For Qi connections, they are entirely different story...
The Flying Yao method 飛爻法 is employed when one specifically zoom into a particular Hexagram for predictions and annual forecasting...
The Flipping Yao to change the imagery 抽爻換象 to some school are the answer of XieZi Fa, where you are able to change the location of a ZhengShen to LingShen and vice versa. It supposed to enable the operation of the Mid Heaven Gua of the Human Plate Hexagram... This is the ultimate of Qi Connections...

The book ends its note with some “sticky issue” that court controversy such as: -

XKDG should have been a standalone technique. Some school advocated the simultaneous application with FeiXing 飛星 such as the WuChang Pai School 無常派, which is not appropriate…

While we do agree with the author on such notion, but what if the actual FeiXing 飛星 method vested on the same fundamentals of DaGua 大卦, simply called it as SanYuan FeiXing 三元飛星? The FeiXing becomes the integral part of the entire system of SanYuan 三元. One ought to work its ways from the BaGua system of Eight Mansions to the 24 mountains of Feixing, then only the 64 Hexagrams of DaGua. By such you will find that XuangKong that we knew of today, is nothing more but a fake system…

By saying such, it apprently make sense that this book cost only USD 50.00 and yet what has been discussed are the core syllabus of many XKDG live courses in the market that can fetched up to USD10,000.00 probably in the West and some also said, in Bolehland and Kiasuland respectively... With added stuff liked QMDJ and called it SanYuan XianTian QMDJ XKDG , it may goes up to USD 15,000.00. Day light robbery? Not really if it really dishes out the real stuffs instead of the common knowledge found in many Chinese FengShui books of the same topic.

As for the Book, coincidentally called - XUANKONG DAGUA Not Exactly For Dummies written by our favorite author, Master Hung HinCheong, is strongly recommended to buy for collection...

A CASE IN MIND...

XIEZI OF SOON TO BE DRAGON SPOT - 18102010

The fiasco of soon to be master has opened up another opportunity. Exactly the sort of case study we ought to investigate - why would a FengShui practice (subject) ceased to survive in Kuala Lumpur? It was rather puzzling as the claimed expert in locating "dragon Spot" with self proclaimed XieZi would have located a wonderful office to begin with? Why all the sudden packed and go? We ought to understand what has gone so very wrong with the location itself or perhaps what has gone so wrong with the method of application.

Located at a commercial area, the tapping of Qian incoming with two rivers namely, Sungai Keroh and Sungai Batu, exiting at Xun could be well benefitted. Qi sequence from Templers, Selayang, Sungai Buloh, Kepong and all the way to Segambut and Sentul manifesting "cowboy town" Tell tale sign of robust business with a lack of nobility. That is why there are a lot of wealthy Chinaman.

Subject office is sitting Wu (Li) facing Zi (Kan), very close to DE, how can that be possible? Higher on the front and lower at the back, contradicting ideal land form principle. Conforming to the SanYuan LingZhen principle which is, in this case, only GOOD on paper because it is not supported by landform.

XKDG perspective, Dragon matching Mountain, GuaQi metal 9-4, Water matching Facing GuaQi water 1-6. All period 6 Gua conforms to lower period 8 onwards. What has gone so freaking wrong? All matching hexagram is not Out of Gua neither are they from different family of East River Gua. Qi communication, technically smooth.

SanHe perspective, Yang Fire structure incoming Extinct exiting Officer. Receiving Stale Qi and Exiting Vibrant Qi. Water mouth unlocked.

PostScript: Jo Ching said... any idea which yao is the sitting on? this is a chou yao huan xiang method. Might have changed to the wrong image.

XIEZI OF SOON TO BE DRAGON SPOT 2 - 20102010

Prompted by a fellow practitioner in Singapore about 抽爻换象, altering the Yao to transform the imagery. Novel idea to add more layer in the XKDG methodology. To achieve 一卦纯清 or Single Pure Gua Formation, there is a tendency that the selected Hexagram, of 5.625 degree, may have changed to another Hexagram based on a more refined subdivision of Yao, within the region of 0.937 degree (speaking about German accuracy here in the context of ancient Chinese art). That is an absolute accuracy given the fact that the rustic handmade LuoPan is quite a primitive tool. No doubt, it is subject of major criticism yet for completeness let's investigates further.

Physical measurement revealed that it is close to the 3rd Yao. Change from the sitting Hex of Eliminating to Marsh. Can this 一卦纯清 or Single Pure Gua Formation?

The original Hex Eliminating denotes cutting off. Five Yang Yao cutting off a single Yin Yao, leaving no room for retreat. The general connotation of this Gua is inauspicious reflecting careless move and ill judgment. Such is the nature of soon to be master FengShui practice located in this alignment which are bound to disputes and disharmony. Whereas, the transformed Hex Marsh is an auspicious one. Such will only be beneficial if one is sincere without ulterior motives. However, would it transform in the first place?
No combination taken place within the transformed Hex itself. Speaking of 一卦纯清 or Single Pure Gua Formation, not so easy as it is...
