Strictly speaking, it is a geographical location or environment (so-called "good feng shui") that conforms to the principles and standards of "rich" and "expensive" in Feng Shui.
The standard of geomantic treasure land: there are mountains behind, green dragons on the left, white tigers on the right, mountains in front, halls in the middle, and tortuous water flow, which makes the ancestral graves hide wind and gather gas, making people rich. The vastness of the ocean can accommodate ten thousand horses, which makes the future generations have a bright future of Wan Li and a prosperous future.

Hangzhou: The sky has veins, the mountains are clear and the water is beautiful.
Hangzhou, formerly known as Lin 'an, was the capital of Wu Yueguo in the Five Dynasties and the Southern Song Dynasty.
Hangzhou is located on the north bank of Zhenjiang, where the Grand Canal and Qiantang River meet. Its northwest is Tianmu Mountain, and its southwest and southeast are Longmen Mountain and Huiji Mountain. The scenery here is picturesque, and the feudal rulers are happy to revel in the lakes and mountains, so they built their capital here. So that Lin Sheng, a poet in the Song Dynasty, reprimanded: "When will the West Lake dance stop?" Warm wind makes tourists drunk, just for Bianzhou, Hangzhou. "
As for the geomantic omen in Hangzhou, Tian Rucheng recorded that Yang, who was the magistrate in the third year of Ming Dynasty (1508), said, "Hangzhou starts in Tianmu and the mountains fly in Qiantang. Between the rivers and lakes, the mountains gather together and the vitality melts ... South across Wu Shan, north to Wulin, left with the Yangtze River and right with Quhu Lake, so the whole situation is surrounded by context, and Zhong Ling is among them. "
Li Sicong said that Hangzhou Ganlong originated in Tianmu, and its ancestral home cannot be described. After crossing the gorge from Huangshan Daling, a branch starts from Nanfeng, crosses Qianliang Temple Ridge from Shiwu, starts from Jiuyao Mountain in Wang Yue and crosses Ciyunling. From the Royal Jiaochang, Guosheng Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, through Wansongling, from Wu Shan to the urban area. A branch line starts from Beifeng, breaks from Wu Qingzhi in Taoyuan Ridge, starts from Wushi Mountain behind Yuefen, and enters the urban area from the Baoshu Pagoda of Zhiguo Mountain. The whole story goes down the river, covered by the stars and mountains, across the river peaks, reflecting the distant dragon, from Xiaoshan to Shanghai Gate. When you are born, you have to cross the river from the stone bones of Biezimen, start from Gaoting Mountain and turn in the sand. Right boundary water flows into Qiantang River from Tonglu, Yanzhou; The water in the left boundary flows into Guanhe River from Yuhang Xixi, but unfortunately the two boundaries are not divided, and the rivers in the city are impassable and the context is unclear. "
Beijing: There are mountains in the north and plains in the south.
Beijing is the capital of our great motherland. It has a history of more than 3,000 years, and the descendants of Zhou Wuwang Yao Feng once lived here. At that time, it was called Qiu Ji and later became the capital of Yan State. The Liao Dynasty took Beijing as its capital and called it Yanjing or Nanjing. The Jin Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing in 1 153, and changed its name to Zhongdu, which has since become the political center of the whole country. The Yuan Dynasty took Beijing as its capital, and built Beijing according to the principle of "the former dynasty followed the city, and the left ancestor followed the right society", which laid the scale of Beijing. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, its capital was Yingtian (now Nanjing). In order to kill the imperial spirit of the Yuan Dynasty, the palaces of the Yuan Dynasty were demolished and the north wall moved south. In order to reflect the core position of imperial power, Emperor Chengzu of Ming Taizu moved the central axis of the city to the east by150m, and all the newly-built palaces were located on the central axis, and a Jingshan Mountain was built to the north of the line, so as to suppress the residual kingship of the Yuan Dynasty and ensure the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, Beijing was still the capital, and the Ditan, Ritan and Moon Altar were built for sacrifice. There are Temple of Heaven in the south of Beijing, Ditan in the north, Ritan in the east and Moon in the west, representing Qiansu Zhaku, HouXuanwu, Zuoqinglong and Youbai Lake respectively.
Beijing has always been a military town and political center, which is related to its geographical location. Located between North China Plain, Northwest Mongolia Plateau and Northeast Songliao Plain, there are Yanshan Mountains in the northwest, Taihang Mountains in the southwest, North China Plain in the south and Bohai Bay in the east. Shandong Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula surround the Bohai Sea and become a barrier to defend Beijing. Beijing is bordered by mountains in the north and plains in the south, which is located between Beijing small plain, southern great plain and northern mountainous area, and will inevitably attract the attention of the ancient philosophers.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian aristocrat Batunnan strongly recommended Beijing to Kublai Khan. "Yuan Shi Batulu" records Batunan: "The land of secluded swallows is surrounded by dragons and tigers, and the situation is magnificent, with Jianghuai in the south and Shuomo in the north. And the son of heaven must be in the middle to accept worship from all directions. If Wang wants to rule the world and stay in the country, it must be Yan. " So Kublai Khan decided to make its capital in Yan.
In the battle of Jingnan, after Ming Huidi was driven away by Ming Chengzu, he didn't want to go to Nanjing to be emperor, but wanted to stay in Beijing. Because Beijing is his fief (called Yanjing), Longgan has a lot of business here. His courtiers agreed that he should do whatever he wants. The Record of Emperor Taizong of Ming Dynasty records the humble opinion of ministers: "It is enough to control four foreigners and the world and become the capital of emperors in past dynasties." People in the Ming Dynasty generally believed that it was wise to make Beijing the capital. There is a saying in Shun Tian Zhi compiled during the Wanli period: "Yan Huanhai is a pool, holding Taihang Mountain as a danger, staying in the middle to control the outside, helping the river to lift weights to make light, the east and west tribute roads come to various countries, the northwest customs are strong on nine sides, the imperial power is strong for thousands of years, and the public security lasts forever."
Nanjing: Tiger lives in Dragon Plate, with mountains and waters nearby.
There is a stone city in the west of Nanjing, so it is located in Liang Qingshan, Nanjing today, like a crouching river embankment, with Zhongshan in the east, like a winding Wolong. Therefore, people have always called Nanjing "the dragon plate on the back of a tiger". This name has a long history. According to Jaco's Lu Wu in the Jin Dynasty, Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang to Nanjing, and Zhuge Liang sighed, "The Dragon Plate in Zhongshan, surrounded by stones, is the residence of the son of heaven." In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Geng Xin said in "Jiangnan Fu": "In the past, the tiger lived in the dragon plate, yellow and purple." Liu Zhiji explained in Comrade Shi Shu in the Tang Dynasty: "The tiger lives in the dragon plate, and the emperor shows his respect." Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty said in Song of the Forever King: "The Dragon and Tiger lived in the Imperial Capital, and Jinling, Di Zi visited the ancient hills." It can be seen that the word "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been recognized by people.
Nanjing was once the capital of many dynasties and political powers. Soochow, the Three Kingdoms, and the later Eastern Jin, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen successively established their capitals here, which was called the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in history. Later, the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, the Revolution of 1911 of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Chiang Kai-shek National Government all established their capitals here.
There are many changes in the name of Nanjing. During the Warring States Period, Jinling City was established in Chu, Moling in Qin, Jianye in Soochow, Jiankang in Jin Dynasty, Nanjing in Ming Dynasty, jiangning house in Southern Tang and Qing Dynasty, and Tianjing in Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Nanjing has a dangerous terrain, surrounded by mountains, high in the north and low in the south, which is easy to defend and not easy to attack. Qinhuai River flows into the river in the west, and there are many stone mountains along the river. From southwest to northeast, there are Stone Mountain, Maanshan, Wangsishan, Lulongshan and Mufu Mountain. In the northeast, there is the highest peak of Ningzhen Mountain, Zhongshan; There are Fuguishan, Zhoushan and Jilong Mountain in the north; There are sand states such as Zhou Changming, Zhanggongzhou and Egret in the south, forming Jiajiang River. These natural barriers guarded Nanjing, which made the rulers of past dynasties take a fancy to this treasure land. Not only that, Nanjing is still in an environment with developed economy and convenient transportation. The Taihu Plain and Qiantang River Basin in the southeast are rich in resources, forming a good economic foundation. Down the river, you can trace back to Jiujiang and Wuhan, and down the river, you can reach Shanghai. Together with Qinhuai River and Taihu Lake system, Nanjing extends in all directions.
Mr. Feng Shui described the development trend of Long Mai in Nanjing. Li Sicong, when talking about looking for dragons in Nanjing in Miscellaneous Notes on Kanyu, said: "If the tauren dragon in Nanjing starts from Wawu Mountain, from Lushan Mountain in the east to Piaoshuipu, Hengshan Mountain, Yuntai Mountain, Jishan Mountain and Zutang Mountain all have tauren twin peaks, then Saturn will be particularly rich. The one on the left, from Wushan to Xishan Bridge, goes back to the elbow and gives birth to mountains and hills. On the right, a branch is born in Cuiping Mountain, which falls from rotten stone mountain to Ganglong and ends in Matian. Draw Jiangjun Mountain, cross Huangnigang, start from Zhuxi Temple, arrive at Andemen, give birth to Yuhuatai, and stop at the gate above Jiagangmen. " This set of statements is too complicated, so we must not stick to it.
Luoyang: Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beijiang River.
Luoyang is the ancient capital of nine dynasties, spanning more than 1000 years. "Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beijiang." Mangshan Mountain in the north of Luoyang is synonymous with the final destination of China people. There are so many tombs on Mangshan Mountain that "there are few places for cows to lie". There are even 24 emperors of six generations buried here, which is the most densely distributed, largest in number and longest lasting in China. Mangshan is a remnant of a hill, which is about150m higher than the water surface of the Yellow River and Luohe River. The terrain is open and there is Luoshui in the south. It is located at the intersection of the Yellow River and the Luohe River. Shuikou is the best choice, and the feng shui in the whole mausoleum area is good. In the soil layer 5 ~ 15 meters below the surface of Lushan Mountain, it has low water permeability, good cohesiveness and compact soil, which is most suitable for placing graves. "
In the theory of geomantic omen, the burial place pays attention to the cohesion of life, the wind can't blow, and there is water to stop life. Jin Guopu's famous geomantic book "Funeral Book" explains that the burial place that can bring the gospel depends on the life of the burial place. Anger flows underground. The wind dispersed as soon as it blew. When the water stops, it stops. Among them, qi refers to yin and yang. These two opposing and complementary qi in the universe are constantly changing. At this time, Yin and Yang are in the best balance with each other. Mangshan area is an ideal place for camping and grave-sweeping.
Xi 'an: Qinling Mountains in the south and Weihe River in the north.
Xi 'an, known as Haojiang and Chang 'an in ancient times, is a famous ancient capital of China. Feng and Gao were the capitals of the Western Zhou Dynasty and Xianyang was the capital of the Qin Dynasty, both of which were near An. Western Han Dynasty, Xin Dynasty, Western Jin Dynasty, Former Qin Dynasty, Later Qin Dynasty, Western Wei Dynasty, Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty and other countries once established their capitals in Anjian. The Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei and the later Tang Dynasty all established their capitals in Xi 'an.
The reason why rulers of past dynasties took a fancy to Xi 'an was related to the geographical location of Xi 'an. Xi 'an is located in Guanzhong Plain, bordering Qinling Mountains in the south and Weihe River in the north, with mild climate and fertile land. Historical Records: A Family Leaving Hou records the praise of the Han Dynasty for An: "Fu Guan Zhong left with faith, right with Long, Shu and fertile fields, south with the kindness of Bashu, north with the benefits of the lake far away, blocking the three sides and governing the princes in the east." The princes are stable, the rivers and rivers embrace the world, and the west gives the capital; The vassal has changed, and going down the river is enough to defeat. This so-called Jincheng is a thousand miles away, and the country of abundance is also. "

1. qi zhou Town, Qichun County, Hubei Province
Qi zhou Town is a remote town, located at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain on the north bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It is the hometown of Li Shizhen, a holy doctor in Ming Dynasty. One after another, Long Mai in Dabie Mountain danced dragons all the way to qi zhou Town, which was very vivid; The winding and mighty Yangtze River water, like a jade belt, floats lightly across qi zhou, and then slowly flows eastward, in an encircling shape, wrapped by Bashui and the rushing river, becoming "holding Shui Ge". There are Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain in the northwest to block the northwest wind and form a "mountain grid". Therefore, qi zhou Town is really a treasure house of geomantic geography. It is a geomantic geographical pattern with both wealth and wealth.
There is a long and narrow street in qi zhou Town called East Chang 'an Street (also called Doctor Street), with a total length of 500 meters, 100 households. In the 20th century, this street produced more than 100 doctors, most of whom were obtained by the United States and other western developed countries. Many fathers and sons, fathers and daughters and brothers are doctors. For example, Li Baozhen's house is called the doctor's house. Li Baozhen received her doctorate from a medical university in new york in the last century. His three sons and one daughter have successively obtained doctorates in different disciplines in the United States, and served as important leaders or professors in American scientific research units. It is rare in the world that a family has five doctors.
There is a family of doctors in Doctor Street, and now they 100% have moved out of qi zhou Town. Some people go to western developed countries to be university professors or hold important positions in scientific research, while others work all over China. People from other places can move into Doctor Street, and they can also produce talents. For example, in the former residence of Professor Yang of Tongji Medical University, in the 1960s, four college students left Doctor Street and the whole family sold the old house in Doctor Street to foreigners. Wang Guicai moved in before it was repaired and renovated, and his two sons were admitted to key universities.
Second, Linchuan County, Jiangxi Province
There are as many as 134 people listed in China Celebrity Dictionary, and this county has the glorious title of "Linchuan gifted scholar" in past dynasties, such as Wang Anshi, the prime minister and great writer in Song Dynasty, and Tang Xianzu, the great master in Ming Dynasty. At present, there are 55 scholars with professors and above titles, 96 graduate students in various disciplines and more than 30 international students. Since 1982, there have been more than 80 talented young people under the age of 0/5 in this county, and they have been admitted to Peking University, Tsinghua, University of Science and Technology and other institutions of higher learning as young college students. Therefore, the author thinks that there are such talents in Linchuan County, which is related to geomantic geography.
Linchuan County, located in the southwest of Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province, is called "Shangdundu", where many waters meet and the geographical feng shui atmosphere is very superior. The Ganjiang River, the Chongjiang River and the Fuhe River in the south flow to Linchuan like a fan with ten bends and nine bends, and meet in the north of Linchuan to flow into the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake, which has become a rare gathering place of geographical geomantic omen in Shui Ge. There is a ring mountain range in the northwest of Linchuan to block the northwest wind, forming "gas gathering" (that is, gas gathering), which conforms to the geomantic law that "there must be great people around the mountains" To the north of Linchuan, Jiuling Mountain, Li Anyun Mountain and Shogunate Mountain are surrounded by layers, and the north wind cannot invade and blow away the aura. In addition, in the southernmost part of Linchuan, there is Wuyi Mountain, which, as the inlet of air, goes straight into Linchuan, continuously enters and gathers together to form a superior gas field, making Linchuan a treasure trove of geomantic omen. Therefore, despite the changes of the times and social system, the geographical environment of Linchuan's talented people has never been affected.
3. huangqiao town, Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province
Huangqiao, located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, is the largest market town in northern Jiangsu. In history, Huangqiao is known as the water hub of "Huaihe River in the north and tidal water in the south". It was built in the Yuanfeng period of North Song Shenzong, with a history of nearly a thousand years.
Huangqiao has a rich collection of humanities since ancient times. Only the Ho clan has the textual research of "seventy-two four-year-old scholars". Mr. Ding Wenjiang, the famous father of China geology and the founder of China comedy, and Mr. Wang Debao, a biologist of Chinese Academy of Sciences who synthesized RNA for the first time in the world, were also born in Huangqiao. During the anti-Japanese and national salvation period, a decisive battle of Huangqiao shocked China and foreign countries with fewer victories. Now there are countless doctors and professors. Many people are admitted to famous schools every year.
The geomantic omen of Huangqiao is flourishing in the high sandy soil area in the northwest of Huangqiao, and many streams of water meet to form a "Shuikou" (Longdong) which dominates the fortune of the whole Huangqiao. Known as "five dragons playing with pearls" and "flying dragons in the sky".
Four. Yixing City, Jiangsu Province
Yixing has a reputation as a professor county, and there are 548 senior scientific and technological personnel in Yixing in contemporary Chinese mainland. For example, physicist Zhou Peiyuan, chemist Tang Aoqing and artist Xu Beihong all come from this county. Father and son are professors, brothers are professors, and all subjects are professors, which is not uncommon in Yixing.
Yixing is a typical gathering place of Shui Ge, which is endowed with unique advantages. Yixing is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, surrounded by twists and turns, and has a good geographical feng shui atmosphere. It is also the only way for many water lakes to meet and flow into Taihu Lake, and it is close to the dock. In the northwest, it forms a fan-shaped water system like the moon: there are Yichang Changcao River, Hooke Lake, Changdang Lake, Nanyi Lake and many artificial reservoirs. These lakes originate from the Yangtze River, flow into the Yangtze River, flow through Yixing and flow into Taihu Lake. So Yixing has become a typical water-holding type.

(Data from Hubei Institute of Yin and Yang Geography)
When the ancients were looking for feng shui landscape, they always regarded its external landscape as an important indicator, that is, the so-called "internal qi sprouted and external qi formed"; When looking for scenic spots, it is based on the coming and going of their veins and the "weather" of mountains and rivers, which determines the inseparable connection between Feng Shui and scenery.
This paper briefly introduces some feng shui skills for reference when relevant people choose a base or residence.
First, seek "Long Mai". In the process of environmental site selection, the geomantic terminology is called "shape discrimination". "Form discrimination" is to find "Long Mai", that is, the place where natural landscapes converge and enclose. From the microscopic point of view, especially how to find the "Long Mai" in the market, the geomantic circle also has its own views. For example, "Yangzhai Integration" said: "In the market with a scale of 10,000 watts, the tall house with ridges is the real dragon"; "Yang Zhai Understanding" said: "A street is a layer of water, and a wall house is a layer of sand". From these viewpoints, the mature commercial street in the city center will become a "real dragon"; Modern rapid rail transit has also become a "dragon" with air entrainment. In reality, the same is true. The land near the business center is so hot that ordinary people don't care about the high house prices. The house price near the rail transit line is also much higher than other relatively deviated areas, even if it is only a few hundred meters to one kilometer away. In a practical sense, this is the flow problem. In ancient times, people lived by the river because of the convenience of life and the benefits of tourism, which is similar to the fact that modern people regard convenient transportation as the most important condition for choosing real estate.
Second, water is the best. But after all, there is an essential difference between streets and real water. From the basic needs of life and production, human nature is "hydrophilic". "Funeral Book" also said: "The method of geomantic omen, water is the first, followed by Tibetan wind"; "Shui Long Jing" holds that: "Pingyang only regards water as a dragon, and the water around it is a dragon berth, so anyone who looks for a dragon must look for water and seek to go back and forth"; "The mountains manage the people and manage the wealth" and "the wealth reaches the Three Rivers" and so on, all of which are the portrayal of the influence of "water" on economic life. There are mountains and water, which is always people's pursuit of an ideal living environment. With the construction of a well-off society and the improvement of living standards, ordinary people have developed from having a house to paying attention to the surrounding environment and the landscape outside the window.
The embryonic form of geomantic omen originated from the settlement of ancient ancestors. At that time, there was no such thing as "feng shui", but in the struggle with the cruel natural environment, our ancestors gradually understood that we must choose a safe, healthy and convenient living environment, which is conducive to production.
