Usage of the three compass of heaven, earth and man

The application of the compass's "three disks and three needles".

1. Site - used for vertical orientation - place a "compass or compass" on the Tai Chi point to measure all directions. The Tai Chi point of the Yang house is in the house; the Tai Chi point of the Yin house is in the center of the tomb.

2. Human tray - used to eliminate sand - look at mountain peaks, buildings, trees, walls, piles, towers, chimneys, etc.

Interpretation 1

The sages made three plates and three needles to correspond to the three talents of heaven, earth and man. The needles on the earth plate are used to draw dragons, the needles in the human plate are used to remove sand, and the needles on the sky plate are used for sewing. To receive water. Why is the needle in the sky disk one half position forward (seven and a half degrees) compared to the needle in the earth's disk? It's because the sky disk responds to the weather, and the weather rotates to the left, half a month before, and then the ground objects begin to respond. Therefore, the needle in the sky disk is half a position forward than the needle in the earth's disk. Why is the needle in the human disk half a point back (seven and a half degrees) compared to the needle on the earth? Human beings live in the heaven and earth and cannot go beyond the front. Therefore, the needle in the human disk is half a position behind the needle on the earth.

The inland panzheng acupuncture method uses the Xiantian Bagua, which is still and motionless as the earth, yin, woman, and body. The mountain is a dragon, which is also a symbol of stillness. The dragons must move toward the middle of the earth, so the inner panzheng is used. The acupuncture dragon clears the orifices to respond to the tranquility of the earth and body.

The needles on the outer plate are used to pick up the Eight Diagrams of the day after tomorrow, move but not be still, for the sky, for the yang, for the husband, and for the use. All water comes from the sky, and the water is collected to correspond to the movement of the celestial body and the changes of the water god. , the ancients had a method of recognizing water and establishing a dynasty. Therefore, the changes in the outer disk correspond to the ever-changing water god, which is constantly changing. The outer celestial disk accommodates the water god, and responds to the fortune and misfortune of the heavenly stars.

The inner disk is in the Yin category of Dragon and is the wife. The outer disk is in the Yang position and is the husband. This is the way for a Yin and Yang couple to cooperate. If the inner disk is in the Yin position, pure Yin will not grow and pure Yang will not be transformed. Because all things in the world have yin and yang dragons, those with left-hand rotation are yang, and those with right-hand rotation are yin. The yin points are yang facing yang and yin should meet each other, which is in line with the way of cooperation between husband and wife. For example, the dexterity Yi Xin Ding Gui is the yin dragon, and it should be paired with the left yin. Jia, Geng and Bingren, Yang water is in the prosperous direction, which is a natural principle.

The principle of using a human plate to eliminate sand is based on the Tianxing School Feng Shui created by Lai Gong. According to the Tianxing School, the energy of the five elements forms images in the sky, and the sun, moon and stars are seen, and the energy of the five elements is in the sky. The earth was formed, hills and plains appeared. They are all transformed by one energy and correspond to each other at the same time. Therefore, the sand in the ground corresponds to the twenty-eight constellations in the sky, so the sand used to eliminate the sand is the twenty-eight constellations in the sky. The five elements used in the needle in the human plate also evolved based on the palace degrees of the twenty-eight constellations.

Fengge’s point of view: This interpretation imposes the internal and external disk method on the successive eight hexagrams, and there is no basis for determining yin and yang. The theory that the weather rotates to the left and the earth begins to respond to the changes in the previous half month is also contrary to the laws of natural ecology, so it is not accepted. I only agree that the human chart corresponds to the twenty-eight constellations and is used to eliminate sand.

Interpretation 2

The earth needle reflects the magnetic pole meridian (consistent with the compass); the sky needle, created by Yang Gong, reflects the sun's shadow meridian (also said to be the magnetic deflection angle problem), that is, the geographical meridian; the needle in the human chart was created by Lai Gong. This needle is based on the twenty-eight stars of the Kaixi constellation. The five elements of the needle in the human chart correspond to the Kaixi constellation. Use of sand.

Use the ground-plate needle for Gelong and vertical directions, use the middle-plate needle for sand removal, and use the sky-plate stitch for collecting water. For example, for the Ming Tombs in the Ming Dynasty, Liao Junqing used the three-element theory to erected the Changling Tombs and the Ding direction of Guishan, which was also the direction of the site.

Interpretation 3

The twenty-four mountains of Zhengzhen are also called territories. Then it is the meridian direction of the Twenty-Four Mountains, which is the direction of true south and true north. The role of the positive dial is to determine the orientation. Generally, Luantou school Feng Shui masters only use straight needles.

The Twenty-Four Mountain Pan in the Middle Needle is the Human Pan, which is used to eliminate sand and pull out sand. Naturally, the Ban Gua Mountain should be rotated in reverse direction. This is because the ancients believed that mountains belong to Yin and water belongs to Yang, so they added the twenty-four mountain plates of Zhongzhen.

The Twenty-Four Mountain Pan is stitched, which is the Heavenly Pan, and the Twenty-Four Mountain Pan is rotated by half of the Gua Mountain according to the correct stitch. Its function is to collect water, that is, to determine the good and bad directions of incoming and outgoing water.

Fengge’s point of view: The application methods of Interpretation 2 and 3 are basically the same, but the origin and theory of the three disks are different, and the theory and application basis of the human and celestial disks are not clear. Yang Gong created the compass in the Tang Dynasty. There is also insufficient basis for the theory that Lai Gong created the human compass in the Song Dynasty. The origin of the compass should be traced back to the era of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty. It was continuously improved and perfected by later generations to become the various compasses we see today.

Explanation 4

The compass is a meteorological ecometer invented by the ancients. The earth's magnetic force determines the meridian (i.e. the compass) of the land. The ancients observed the sunshine at regular intervals and marked the sun's angle of the earth's revolution and rotation to establish the direction of characters. Each character represents the meteorological ecology (solar terms, time) under the corresponding sunshine. Its meteorological ecology corresponds to the Bagua of the day after tomorrow. For example, Kan Gua (winter solstice season), Guan Ren Zi Gui three characters, Ren corresponds to the heavy snow solar term, 23 to 24 o'clock; Zi corresponds to the winter solstice solar term, 0 to 1 o'clock. And so on. When it comes to the Qian Gua (the beginning of winter), there are three characters: Guanxu, Qian and Hai. Xu corresponds to the frost, 20-21 o'clock; Qian corresponds to the beginning of winter, 21-22 o'clock; Hai corresponds to light snow, 22-23 o'clock, completing a closed loop.

The human chart and the early earth chart are 7.5 degrees (half a solar term), which is probably due to the backward information in ancient times and the government had to inform the people of agricultural production half a solar term in advance.

The heavenly disk is 7.5 degrees (half a solar term) behind the earthly disk. It should be generated by the weather of the solar term where the land character comes. It usually appears on the ground half a solar term later, so the heavenly disk is set (for example, the sun is at the right time). towards 12:00, but the hottest time should be 12:30).

Fengge agrees with this interpretation, but as for the Gelong and vertical plates, the sky plate is used to collect water and air, and the twenty-eight stars are used to remove sand (roughly consistent with the human plate, but there are differences) , it is only verified based on some ancient books and applications, and no more theoretical basis has been found.
