群經之首的<易經>

易經
是研究觀察宇宙天地間萬物萬事,
是<人法地, 地法天, 天法道, 道法自然>,
是老子之求得大自然天地人的和諧.

易經配合了<河圖輿洛書>, 而衍生了今日所謂之<山, 醫, 命, 卜, 相>五術. 其中之所謂之<堪輿>之術, 唯堪天輿地之術, 在陽宅上之應用了, 特重<得水為上, 藏風次之>故<風水>成為<堪輿>之俗名了.

自宋朝, 理氣派則陳搏始用五行以释周易, 及邵雍先後天八卦之體用別, 而運用八卦五行三元九宮之風水法則, 所以理氣派是言方位, 以羅經, 杖尺等工具以論坐山立向及水之來去方向等度量法, 及重視環境風水美興, 則更能合乎目前之環境科學.

中國風水學上所謂之吉地, 有良好的陽光, 空氣, 水與土壤, 因為在此良好之環境下, 花木自然生育良好, 農作物豐收, 而人居于此地自亦能身心健康且人丁財旺.

而中國風水上所相的<四獸中宮>吉地, 東青龍有水, 西白虎有大道, 南朱雀開闊有水池, 北玄武有山丘, 此正是有良好之陽光, 空氣, 水與土壤. 而長安, 洛陽, 桃山, 南園及日本京都及日本之<寢殿造>, 均是相得此四獸中宮之吉地.

Yin Fengshui

Yin, of course, is the opposite of Yang. It is associated with still, darkness, feminine etc. Yin fengshui is equally as important as Yang fengshui, as it can have a detrimental impact on our life and destiny. When we are talking about Yin fengshui, we are referring to the space where our ancestors were rested upon, i.e. their grave. The position, soil and drainage system are some important criteria to evaluate when deciding upon a good Yin fengshui.

Sealing of Energy (Chi)

Talking about Yin fengshui, I simply have to relate this bizarre incident which had happened to us nearly 10 years ago in 1998. I can still remember it so clearly even though it had happened so long ago.

I was invited to Kajang, Kuala Lumpur to view some burial land which was purchased by one of our client. The memorial park is well planned and has a nice scenery. Our client bought 6 pieces of land of which he wishes to keep only those which are suitable for him and sell off the remaining. After my evaluation, I selected the 2 most favorable land for him while the other 4 were deemed to be not suitable.

After we have done our review, our client invited us to visit a tomb of a man, not far from where we were. He said the pagoda which was erected there has since become a tourist spot where it is frequently visited by many tourists everyday. Along the journey, our client explained that the family of the deceased man has spent close to a million to build the pagoda and the surrounding landscape. During the “Qing Ming Jie” (Chinese Tomb Festival), after offering prayers to their ancestor, our clients with their family members will gather at the pagoda and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

We reached the place few minutes later in our client’s car. Since it was a hot day, we carried an umbrella each and started walking uphill to the pagoda. True enough, it was a scenic place. We then reached the pagoda and our client asked me about the fengshui at the tomb. Before I can say a word, my assistant shouted out loudly while pointing her finger at the sky. We all looked up and saw a dark cloud approaching us. They were moving closer. As the cloud drew nearer, we were shocked in disbelief, God, it was actually a swarm of bees!

I immediately did a kua calculation, and instructed everyone to leave the place. Strange enough, we calmly walk towards our car. As we were walking down, we can hear the humming sound of the bees surrounding us as if the bees was ushering us towards the car and none attacked us! We then entered into our car and closed the door tight. Everybody started looking around in the car to check whether there is any bee inside the car. Unbelievably ALL the bees were outside. In the moving car, we looked behind and we noticed the crowd of bees has dispersed.

My client drove to a nearby temple and sat down at a bench under a tree and started discussing about what had happened. I explained my client that the energy (chi) at the tomb has been sealed to ward off other fengshui masters, more so those with bad intentions to harm the fengshui of the tomb. This is a method practiced since the Sung dynasty to protect the good chi of the area. It is not commonly practiced nowadays or most probably forgotten. Our client was so pleased that he was able to experience this strange phenomenon with us, as he has come to the pagoda many times but never has he come across such a thing. What an experience!
