1、 Dragon: In feng shui, mountain ranges are continuous, and due to the undulation of the entire mountain range, it resembles the back of a dragon, so we call it a dragon, so a dragon is a mountain range‘ Dragon is further divided into different nouns such as’ Lailong ‘,’ Qulong ‘,’ Shenglong ‘,’ Deadlong ‘,’ Yanglong ‘, and’ Yinlong ‘. The saying goes: ‘Lailong’: The mountain descends from high to low, and when we stand at the edge of the mountain at a low and high place, this is called ‘Lailong’, and vice versa is’ Qulong ‘. The highest and farthest part of the mountain range is called Shizu Mountain by the Chinese people. When it reaches a slightly lower level, it can be called Shaozu Mountain, and then further lowered to become a mountain dragon. For example, Zhang Liang mentioned in the Sutra of Red Thunder that the summit of Congling is the ancestor mountain of China, and part of Kunlun Mountain extends to some mountain ranges of Beilong and Nanlong, which are called Shaozu Mountain.

2、 Water: In Chinese feng shui, there is a great emphasis on water. The flow of water should be flat and gentle, clear and not muddy, silent but not loud, winding and not straight in and out. There are many rules for water, including the above ones. As for how to use a compass to measure water, it can be divided into eight routes such as Huangquan, which will be introduced later.
3、 Mingtang: After the mountains enter the plain, a plain is displayed, which is what Feng Shui experts call Mingtang. For example, the Taipei Basin is the Mingtang of the Central Mountain Range, which can be seen from the large area and from the small area, the courtyard in front of the house is the Mingtang.

4、 Case Mountain: If there is a nearby mountain in front of Mingtang, it is called Case Mountain. Taipei Yuanshan and others.
5、 Chaoshan: Beyond Mingtang, the mountain that faces Chaoshan from afar is called Chaoshan. In terms of the Taipei Basin, Guanyin Mountain is the Chaoshan of the Taipei Basin.
6、 Shuikou: Two waters intersect here and converge to form a large river, which is called Shuikou.
7、 Shuikou Sand: The large stones or small mountains that lie on both sides of the water mouth are called Shuikou Sand. If there are large stones or small hills in the water outside the Mingtang, it is called sand, and the best sand is animal elephants, which must be strong, flexible, and stable like tigers, lions, elephants, monkeys, cows, etc. If there are dark and hidden animals such as rats, snakes, ants, etc., it is called ferocious sand.

8、 Qinglong: I turn my back to the incoming dragon, and the left side is like the Baozhi Mountain, which is the position of Qinglong. It may not necessarily be in the east on the left side. Scholars should pay attention.
9、 White Tiger: We turn our back to the dragon, and the mountain standing on the right is called White Tiger. It may not be due west, but it is just a term for feng shui. Don’t be too demanding.
10、 Official Star: Surrounded on the inner side by the two sides of Lailong and Qinglong and Baihu, if a mountain branch foot or small hill is found, it is called Official Star.
11、 Ghost Star: On the outer side of the junction between Lailong and Qinglong and Baihu, there is an extended mountain foot or small hill, which is called Ghost Star.
12、 Jiexue: In fact, the so-called “Jiexue” refers to the mouth of a volcano in ancient times. If it was on the mountaintop, it was called Tianchi Mouth, such as Tianchi in Changbai Mountain in the northeast, Sun and Moon Lake in Taiwan, etc. However, after the mountain range entered the plain, there were also small vents, which were the Jiexue of the Feng Shui Dragon.
