The reasons why these Feng Shui patterns in Beijing have made it the capital of the world for thousands of years
Introduction: Beijing's Feng Shui has always been favored by people and Feng Shui experts. It is a natural Feng Shui treasure land. Not only does it have good Feng Shui, but its layout also has advantages. Let us take a look at its Feng Shui layout.1. Advantages of geographical patternBeijing is located in the northern part of the North China Plain, at the intersection of the plain and the mountains and between the transportation hubs. To its west it is guarded by the Taihang Mountains and the Xishan Mountains, to its north it is surrounded by the Taihang Mountains and the Jundu Mountains forming a semicircular mountain bay, and to its northeast it is a natural barrier formed by the famous Beilong Yanshan Mountains. Beijing is located at the unique intersection of plains and mountains and a transportation hub. It combines the steepness of mountains, the tranquility of rivers and the fertility of plains. It formed an ancient capital in an auspicious place that hides winds and stores water.2. Feng Shui after the Yuan Dynasty is more completeAfter Kublai Khan conquered the Jin Dynasty, he decided to make Beijing the capital and ordered his Grand Tutor Liu Bingzhong to calculate the feng shui of Beijing. Beijing's external layout and general situation are suitable for establishing a capital, but when it comes to the construction of the inner palace, more rigorous feng shui theory is needed to guide it. Liu Bingzhong took his disciples Guo Shoujing and Zhao Bingwen to visit the mountains and rivers of Beijing. Finally, they decided to abandon the old site of the Jin Dynasty's Zhongdu on the west side of Beijing and re-determine the dragon vein and the correct location.The Yuan Dynasty capital had a three-city structure: the big city, the imperial city, and the palace city. The circumference of the Yuan Dynasty capital city was 60 li, the city was rectangular in shape, and there were 11 gates in the surrounding walls. The city walls are built with rammed earth of the finest quality, and are solid and strong. The thickness of the wall foundation is 24 meters, with permanent columns and wood interspersed in the middle of the earth. There are semicircular tile pipes on the upper part of the city wall for drainage. The outer surface of the city wall is covered with reed mats. There are towering corner towers at the four corners of the city wall, and there are also piers outside the city. 3. Feng Shui in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was close to perfectionStarting from Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan in the Ming Dynasty, Beijing was chosen as the capital. He wanted to make use of the geographical energy and abolish the remaining royal energy of the Yuan Dynasty. The Feng Shui masters of the time moved the central axis of the palace to the east, so that the original central axis of the Yuan Dadu Palace fell to the west, which was the "white tiger" position in Feng Shui, in order to suppress the remaining royal aura of the previous dynasty; they chiseled away the Panlong Stone on the imperial road on the original central axis, abolished the Zhou Bridge, and built an artificial Jingshan. In this way, the Feng Shui pattern of the main mountain (Jingshan) - the palace cave (Forbidden City) - the Chaoan Mountain (the "Yandun" of Dataishan outside Yongdingmen) was formed again. In ancient China, the central sky was divided into three parts: Taiwei, Ziwei and Tiandi. |
