Unexpectedly, it has been more than half a year since the previous series of articles. I can only say that I am not focused and diligent enough. At the end of the previous article, we mentioned the "Five Elements Feng Shui". So we should follow our habit of writing wherever we want and writing whatever we want. Let's start with this "Five Elements Feng Shui Theory".
In recent years, many people are becoming more and more interested in the theory of "Five Elements Feng Shui". To a large extent, they are probably derived from the " Ghost Blows the Light HTML " series of online writers " Tianxia Bachang " and the " Nanpai Sanshu " series of novels " Tomb Raiders' Chronicles " series. Although the contents are different, some of the descriptions of "Five Elements Feng Shui" in the book are also exciting, and they add a lot of color to the novel. Among them, the half of the "Sixteen-character Yin and Yang Feng Shui secret technique" in the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series, especially the most mysterious thing about the "strange book" that does not exist in reality. There is even a special "encyclopedia" online to explain in detail this "strange book" that does not exist in reality.
We are naturally not prepared to start talking about this "tomb robbery" theme, and we are using this to introduce the theme, which is the origin of the "Five Elements Feng Shui". In fact, this is indeed very related to the two "book courages" of this series of articles - Xi'an and Luoyang . If you want to talk about " Five Elements Feng Shui", you must be divided into two aspects: "Five Elements" and "Feng Shui". Let’s talk about the “five elements” first. These two words become words. After research, it was verified that the “Shu Shu·Gan Swo” first appeared in “ Shangshu ”. The original text is: Qi and Youhu fought in Gan's field, and wrote " Gan's oath ". After a great battle in Gansu, he summoned the six ministers. The king said, "Alas! People of the six matters, I vow to tell you: The Hu family has insulted the five elements and abandoned the three righteousnesses. The heaven uses to suppress his life. Now I will only respect the punishment of heaven. If the left does not attack the left, you will not respect the order; if the right does not attack the right, you will not respect the order; if the right does not attack the right, you will not respect the order; if the right does not control the horse, you will not respect the order. If you use your life, you will reward the ancestors; if you do not use your life, you will kill you." The original text of
The "pre-war mobilization" before the battle during the Xia Dynasty of . There is a very interesting knowledge point here, let’s talk about it a few more words. The two sides fighting were the monarch "Xia Qi" of the Xia Dynasty and a tribe named "Youhu clan". The battlefield where this battle took place was in a place called "Gan". This battle played an important role in pacifying opposition forces and stabilizing the rule of the regime in the early days of the establishment of the Xia Dynasty. So, is these related to the two cities of Xi'an and Luoyang? Of course there is! Let's talk. Where is this ancient battlefield where this important battle for the Xia Dynasty was located? Historians generally have several completely different views. One is that it is in the , , Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province today, and the other is that it is near Zhengzhou City, Henan Province today, and the other is that it is in the southwest area of Luoyang City, Henan Province today, and it is not specifically verified. So, which of these three statements is more reasonable?
Of course, this is also some of my personal understanding and opinions. First of all, we must roughly understand the territory and capital of the Xia Dynasty. According to legend, Xiadu has been relocated more than ten times, and most of them are in different locations in Henan Province today. Since "Gan Battle " was in the "Xia Qi" period, the capital of Xia should be in " Yangzhai " (Zhai Nianzhai, also said it is " Jun porcelain capital ", which is today , Xuchang City, Henan Province. Secondly, let’s discuss the “ Youhu’s ” that fought against Xia. They were a very powerful tribe in the early Xia Dynasty, so powerful that they could at least form a confrontation with the " Dayu " tribe. Some say their sphere of influence is near the Zhengyi District of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province today, and some say they are near the of of Luoyang, Henan. Finally, let’s consider before Xia Qi, Dayu established the capital in Pingyang, which is today under the jurisdiction of Jinyang, Shanxi. That is to say, this battlefield must be in the area of today's area from Jinyang, Shanxi to Yuzhou, Henan, east to Zhengzhou, Henan, and farthest to Xi'an, Shaanxi, today.
Then let’s refine it. From the "Notes on the History of War" by General Zhu Zengquan, a writer of (I just started this book and read it in detail) this was once verified: Modern history master Modern history Fan Wenlan In the " General History of China " edited by Mr. Fan Wenlan, it was noted that the "Gan" land is located in Hu County, Shaanxi, which is the Zhengyi District of Xi'an; and in the same period as Fan Wenlan, Gu Jiegang, who was also a famous historian, believes in "Shangshu·Gan's Explanation and Interpretation" that this "Gan" should be located in the southwest area of Luoyang City, Henan Province; Qian Mu also made similar conclusions in " National History Outline ", but Mr. Qian believes that it is in the southwest area of Luoyang; Professor Zheng Jiexiang, a researcher at the Henan Provincial Institute of Archaeology, believes in the "Gan" Debate, that this "Gan" should be located in the Xingyang area of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province today. Therefore, from your own research, we can see that if divided by region, the "Sang" land belongs to either in Xi'an or Luoyang. There is no need to go into the details, let's continue to talk about the "Five Elements".
Although there is indeed a saying of "Five Elements" in "Summer Book: Gan Swo", it only appears as a word, or even two separate words, and there is no clear annotation for it. Combining the context and in our commonly used understanding, "intimidate the Five Elements" and "despite the Three Rights" should correspond. As the "Guan Vow" nature of the "Caibao", the "Five Elements" and " Three Rights " mentioned here are more like a kind of virtue and tradition. So, is this "five elements" consistent with what we now think of as "five elements"? There are still different opinions on this. Some people believe that the "five elements" in "Gan Si" are not the "five elements" in the "five elements" in the later "five elements theory", but the five or more "virtues" at that time, in today's terms, which are moral behavior norms. Some people also believe that the "five elements" in later generations come from this. So how should this be understood?
If according to my personal opinion, the "five elements" mentioned in "Gan Swearing" may be the same as the subsequent "five elements". Because it was also in the Book of Documents, there was a direct explanation of the "Five Elements". There is a text in "Shangshu Hongfan Chapter": "Five elements: one is water, two is fire, three is wood, four is metal, and five is earth. Water is moist, fire is flame, wood is curved, and metal is according to the ridge. The scholar loves the ridge. Moisturizes the lower part and makes salty, the flaming top and makes bitter, the flexural straightness makes sour, the ridge is tender, and the cruciferous root is sweet." This passage of should be the earliest explanation of the "five elements" that can be verified today, and "gold", "wood", "water", "fire", and "earth" also appeared in front of the world in the form of combination for the first time. Then, we need to see under what conditions this passage appears. The "Hong Fan Pian" in the "Shangshu" can actually be regarded as the origin of the general program of governing the country under traditional feudal rule! The content in this article has a profound impact on the governance concept of traditional Chinese dynasties in later generations. But this topic becomes bigger as soon as we talk about it, so let’s just talk about the “five elements”.
"Shangshu Hongfan Chapter" records: " Wuwang defeated Yin, killed the enemy, established Wugeng , and returned with Jizi . Write "Hongfan". only 13 sacrifices, the king visited Ji. The king said, "Ah! Jizi, only the sky is dark and the people are living together, and I don't know that their Yi Lun is to be discussed." Jizi said, "I heard that in the past, Gun shook the flood and displayed the five elements. The emperor was angry and did not give Hongfan Jiucao, Yi Lun is to be arrested. Gun died, and Yu was to be promoted. Heaven was to be enlightened. Yu Hongfan Jiucao, Yi Lun is to be revealed.' The first is to be the five elements, the second is to be respected and used for the five things, the third is to be the eight policies of agriculture, and the fourth is to be the fourth. It is called the Five Chronicles of Cooperation, the Fifth is called Jian Uji, the Sixth is called the Three Virtues of Righteousness, the Seventh day of Clear Use of Doubtfulness, the Eighth is about Thoughts and Use of Consciousness, the Nineth is about the Five Blessings of Direction, and the Six Victories of Power." The article records that after the success of King Wu's defeat of Zhou, he once asked " Jizi ", one of the "Three Sages of the Last Yin", for advice on governing the country. Therefore, " Jizi " stated the " Hongfan Jiuchou " passed down by the ancient sage Xia Yu to King Wu, which is known in history as " Jizi Mingyi ".
Since this "five elements" is the ruling suggestion made by " Jizi " to Zhou Wu King , and these suggestions come from the period of "Gun" and "Yu". Let's not talk about it Can the time when the author of "Shangshu" be used to verify the true situation of the "Yu" era? Just in terms of the time shown in the content, since the "Yu" period has a clear explanation of the "Five Elements", then the "Five Elements" expressed in the war manifesto of the "Qi" period should naturally have the same meaning as the "Yu" period. Let's look at what "Gan Swo" : "Youhu's insult the Five Elements " , then this "Five Elements", according to the explanation of "Hongfan Pian " , perhaps it can be understood as similar to the concept of natural laws and people's normal production and life, the so-called "htm" l4 Insulting the Five Elements ", its meaning should be similar to that of "Gun" and the "" belongs to the same type of error, so this is one of the reasons for attacking him! Therefore, the "five elements" in "Guan Vow" is very likely to be the "team" that is commonly recognized in later generations. The "team" !
talks about the earliest source of the "five elements". Let's talk about the Martial King's Evil for a few more words. Let's talk about the Martial King's Evil for a few more words. His "Jizi" who asked about politics. "Jizi" son named Xu Yu , is the son of Wending, the 28th Shang king of Wending, and was the uncle of the last Shang king " Emperor Xin ", that is, " King Zhou ", . As for his background, I think most people don't pay attention to it like me. However, the achievements he made after King Wu asked about politics may arouse the interest of many people. In the most famous explanatory work of "Shangshu", "Hangshu Dabiography ", it was recorded: "Wu King won Yin, succeeded Prince Lu Wu, and Jizi was imprisoned, Jizi couldn't bear to see Zhou Shi, so he left Korea . When King Wu heard about it, he conferred it as a Korean title. "The Records of the Grand Historian: The Family of Song Weizi" also records: "So King Wu conferred Jizi in Korea but refused to be a minister. " In other words, after King Wu asked about politics, "Jizi" was named king of Korea by King Wu. As for whether he ran there himself or was sealed there, whether he went there after the destruction of Shang or had passed before, I personally think it was not important. What is important is that this "Jizi" went to North Korea to establish a regime, and King Wu also officially named "Jizi" as "King of Korea"!
ht The regime established by ml3 "Jizi" was called " " Jizi North Korea " . In China's official history and early ancient Korean history, the "Jizi Dynasty" was recognized as the beginning of ancient Korean and the origin of ancient Korean civilization. And its capital is in the Datongjiang basin in the territory of the People's Republic of Korea today. In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, the regime was usurped by the descendant of Yan State " Weiman ". The 41st generation king " Jizhun " went south and continued the "Jizi Korea" regime in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. Because the area they arrived was named " Mahan ", "Jizhun" conquered the local tribes, and the newly established regime was called " Mahan 3" , "Jizhun" also became the first generation of "King of Korea"! Not long after, "Jizhun" passed away, and the forces brought from the north also scattered. The natives of Mahan regained their power, and the leader called themselves "King of Chen". The regime was also called "Chen Han" . Because it was actually at that time. The southern part of the Korean Peninsula was basically in the tribal alliance stage, so the so-called "Chen Han" is the leader of the tribal alliance.The roughly area of the established capital is located south of the Han River in South Korea today.
These contents are naturally not related to the topic of this series of articles. Interested friends can query relevant information online. There are also many historians and scholars who have made very detailed and detailed interpretations of this. Don’t just read Baidu Encyclopedia, it is quite exciting. After reading it, maybe you will be like me, and it is really ridiculous for our neighboring countries to frequently tremble with us with culture. Let’s get back to the point, let’s continue to talk about the “Five Elements”. As mentioned in the previous article, the "Five Elements" mentioned in the Book of Documents should be the "gold", "wood", "water", "fire" and "earth" that later generations are known. So how did these "five elements" begin to form corresponding theories? Then we have to start with Luoyang.
On the south bank of the Yellow River in Huimeng Town, Mengjin District, Luoyang City today, there is an ancient temple (later restored) built during the reign of Emperor Huai of Jin, called " Longma Futu Temple ". The temple is adjacent to the north of the Yellow River and the south of the temple is adjacent to the "Tuhe Old Road" and is the sacrificial place for "Fuxi", the "ancestor of human roots" and "ancestor of humanities" and "ancestor of humanities". According to legend, "Fuxi" encountered and captured a dragon horse beast here. There were curly hairs on the back of the dragon horse beast, just like patterns. "Fuxi" also learned from the patterns on the dragon horse's back that "Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui" 's innate Eight Trigrams. Later generations once commented on Fuxi in this way, saying that he: "'s mystery of shadying the darkness. Chaos, dissecting the fresh civilization, expounding the secrets of heaven and earth, establishing the ancestors of writing, Fuxi created calligraphy, determined human relations, and correct marriage. His achievements and great ways were actually impossible for the two emperors of Yan and Huang. Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang were not comparable to ! ". The reason why "Fuxi" could see such achievements was to open the sky with a painting, changing people's living conditions, without deciding the timing, without distinguishing yin and yang, and knotting ropes to record events and 's life. Its origin was the "dragon and horse bearing map".
The legend about "the dragon and horse bear the map" is described in detail in the "Red Horse Record" by Wang Duo , a master of calligraphy in the Qing Dynasty. "Fuxi" learned the innate Eight Trigrams from the back of the dragon and horse, which is " River Map ". At the same time, there is another legend about "Fuxi", which is very similar to "Hetu". It is said that "Fuxi" found a divine turtle carrying " Luoshu " on Luoshui , so he obtained the secret of heaven from "LuoShu". "Fuxi" combined " River Tu Luoshu " into one, and discovered and deduced the "Eight Trigrams", which is the source of the "Book of Changes" in later generations. Of course, there are other versions of similar legends, such as Eastern Jin "Records of the Grand Historian" Records : " Huangdi Eastern tour of the river and passing Luo, cultivating the altar and sinking the jade, receiving the dragon map in the river, and writing the turtle in Luo." This is to attribute the contribution of the "Hetu Luo Book" to "Huangdi"; there are also those who say " Cangjie " and "Dayu", and the plot types are similar. There is also a saying that " Later Han Books · Five Elements Zhi " contains: "Yu was given the "Luo Shu" to control the flood, and the law was given, and "Hong Fan" is the same." directly defines the "Hong Fan" mentioned by "Jizi" to King Wu as the "Luo Shu" itself.
Speaking of the "five elements", in fact, the theory of "five elements" is closely related to the "eight trigrams". Later generations generally believed that the origin of the "Eight Trigrams" was the "Five Elements", and some scholars also believed that the "Five Elements" were derived from the "Eight Trigrams". I was originally going to set aside some space to talk about it. But as I found more and more information, the amount of information I collected has become larger and larger, which has long exceeded the scope that I can personally accept and understand. Therefore, we will not elaborate on the content of " Five Elements Theory ".In fact, this is more in line with the theme of my series of articles. Things that have nothing to do with the two cities of Xi'an and Luoyang should be located as far as possible!
