1、 Theory of geomantics
Core idea
Yang Junsong’s theory of geomantics takes “landscape situation as the body, regulating Qi as the use” as the core idea, emphasizes the cooperation of dragon, sand, water, direction and acupoint, and pays attention to the sexual intercourse and yin-yang balance of landscape.
Combination of shape and Qi
In terms of shape and range, Yang Junsong pays attention to the coordination of mountain, water, situation and orientation, and believes that these are important factors affecting the good or bad luck of geomantic omen.
In terms of Qi, he advocated taking the innate Nayin as the body, using the post weather state of the twelve local branches growing in the twelve palaces, paying attention to the flow and distribution of the Qi field, and emphasizing the yin-yang copulation of the dragon water.
Dragon seeking acupoint
Yang Junsong’s operation process of geomantic science is first of all the “dragon Sutra” of looking for the Dragon at the top of the mountain. In the process of looking for dragons, it is necessary to recognize the golden dragon, observe the blood vessels, start the heart of heaven, match the male and female, and determine the direction of the mountains. Finally, it is necessary to get lucky by the stars to clarify the timing of action.
The direction of Longxue mountain is matched from “male and female”, which is an important feature of his theory.
Application of water method
Yang Junsong believes that water is the essence and blood of the dragon vein, and there is vitality in water. The real dragon must be accompanied by left and right water. Without water, there is no vitality.
He advocated that the water should embrace the acupoint in a curved way as sentimental, and that clear, melodious and beautiful water as auspicious; Merciless hole flushing, reverse bow, foot cutting, turbulent, turbid and smelly are evil.
The balance of yin and Yang and the unity of heaven and man
Yin Yang is the core of Feng Shui. Yang Junsong emphasized the importance of male female cooperation and Yin Yang copulation. He believed that only the harmony of yin and yang can lead to endless growth.
In practice, he paid attention to the coordination of yin and Yang and the relative balance of the five elements, and embodied the idea of the unity of heaven and man everywhere.
