In this kind of weather, even people in the car feel depressed. After a while, the coachman cleared his throat and said, "Sir, after passing the mountain village ahead, we are almost at our destination. This trip is not easy."

Miscellaneous Talk

In midsummer, a carriage was driving slowly on the official road. The horse lowered its head and moved its hooves forward listlessly. Sweat dripped down the horse's mane and fell to the ground, evaporating into a wisp of white smoke by the sun. In this kind of weather, even people in the car feel depressed.

After a while, the coachman cleared his throat and said: "Sir, after passing the mountain village in front, we are almost at our destination. This errand is really not easy." The man who looked like an official in his fifties behind him felt relieved after hearing this. His tone and mood were much more relaxed, and he began to carefully look at the landscape in front of him.

A river flows out from the mountain peak in front. Several stone mountains stand towering on both sides of the river. It is scary to look at it, which is quite different from the surrounding mountains. A group of people and horses went upstream. The road was built along the mountains, with several big bends and tall peaks on both sides.

"Stop, I want to get off the car here and walk." The man who looked like an official waved and ordered.

The coachman was puzzled. His rank was high, and he never dismounted and walked halfway. Although he was puzzled, he still dismounted and moved forward. After turning a corner or two, a waterfall comes into view.

The official man sighed: "What a pity, but that's all, get on the horse!" The coachman was even more puzzled, and then ordered to get on the horse and whip his whip. (Why did the official man behave like this? For details, reply "Official dismount" in the background to get the answer)

In fact, this official walked up from the downstream of the mountain village, which is equivalent to the "water mouth" passing through the small village. So what exactly does "water mouth" refer to?

Yifeng said

Can a Feng Shui master really find a good Feng Shui place by "looking at the water outlet"? My opinion is: yes, but not necessarily.

"Water outlet" refers to the inlet and outlet of water flow. In Feng Shui, it mostly refers to the outlet of water flow. "Shikou" can be divided into small game, middle game and overall game. As shown in the picture below, the three blue marks are marked in red from top to bottom: the small water outlet, the middle water outlet, and the overall water outlet of the house.

The water outlet should be curved, rounded and deep, with Luo Xing, Youyu, Beichen, Huabiao and Hanmen, with overlapping gates and barriers to control the water mouth. Avoid straight and shallow discharges, wide open pours, no obstructions. In short, if there is a good Feng Shui land, there will definitely be a good water outlet, but not necessarily vice versa. Therefore, the water mouth is a basis for judging whether a place is good or bad. Those who look for places based solely on "looking at the water mouth" are second-rate gentlemen.

Shuikou

Today’s increasingly popular words: Shuikou

Source: "Erya·Shishui" "瀵,大出尾下" Jin Guo Pu Note: "There are Shuikou in Fenyin County, Hedong, such as Wheel Xu.

words Extension: In the modern injection molding process, after the model is cut off from the "runner", the remaining plastic on the surface of the model is also called the "water mouth"

Theoretical research

" The Suspicious Dragon Classic " said: " Chao Yu went to work on the water outlet, and the two of them came together behind me, intersecting their teeth to prevent the water from flowing, and not letting the mountains and rivers run away."

"The Dragon-shaking Sutra " said: "Looking for the dragon, you must look at the entangled mountain. One layer of entanglement is one layer of barrier. If a door is closed with a thousand layers of locks, there must be a prince living here." What we are talking about here is the intersection of Shuikou. The more layers, the better. As the saying goes, "There is no way for boats to pass through Shuikou", which describes the gates at Shuikou. Lock it.
