Master of the city

For the Ming Dynasty, there are different opinions. Some people say that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are fatuous and farcical. They either like to play with dragons and phoenixes, or they like carpentry, or they have not gone to court for decades. But how many people know that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty can be called the most backbone emperors of all dynasties.

Most of you know how brave Zhu Yuanzhang was when he started his army. Most of you have heard how wise Zhu Di, who became Emperor Yongle, was. Most of you have also heard how ridiculous Zhengde Emperor Zhu houzhao was. However, none of the emperors in the Ming Dynasty was soft. You see emperor Chongzhen dying for his country, you see orthodox being captured but never begging for mercy, you see Longwu dying in battle, you see Shaowu being captured and starving himself.

No peace, no reparation, no land cutting, no tribute, the son of heaven guarding the country, and the death of the king are the most true portrayal of the Ming Dynasty.

People always say that the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, but in the an Shi rebellion and the Huangchao uprising, Tang Xuanzong and Tang Xizong both abandoned their capitals and fled to Shu. There was no such case in Ming Dynasty. As we all know, one of the reasons why Emperor Yongle of Ming Dynasty moved his capital from Nanjing to today's capital city was that "the emperor guarded the gate of the country". When he was invaded, the emperor of Ming Dynasty personally guarded the gate of the country in the first line.

Emperor Chongzhen was in a critical situation in the capital at that time. Some people advised him to move the capital, but he didn't go. Others advised him to leave, but he fled to Nanjing. He didn't escape. He boarded the coal mountain, hanged himself, died and was loyal to the country. This is quite different from the fact that emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty caused the people of the capital to flee from the capital regardless of the two storehouses and Emperor Puyi of the late Qing Dynasty to surrender to the devil invaders and admit to being a father.

Among all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the most dazzling are Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Yongle Emperor Zhu Di.

There must be capable officials under the emperor.

There is no doubt that the first counselor under Zhu Yuanzhang is Mr. Liu Bowen. The maze that Zhang Fan encountered in guhun mountain before, which separated the space, was the means of Qingtian Yimai, which really impressed people.

And who is the first adviser under Emperor Yongle? There's no doubt about it -- Yao Guangxiao, prime minister in black!

Monk daoyan, formerly known as Yao Guangxiao, was a politician, Buddhist, writer and main planner of the Jingnan battle in Ming Dynasty.

Yao Guangxiao is not inferior to Liu Bowen in terms of wisdom and resourcefulness. The history books also have a high evaluation of Yao Guangxiao's role in the Jingnan incident, "the emperor was in his residence, and all the people he received were armed men, so he decided to fight alone. When he moved to Shandong and Hebei, he spent three years in the army. Whether he would turn around or not, it was up to daoyan to fight and defend the opportunity. Dao Yan has never been in the battle front. However, the emperor has the power to use his troops all over the world. He has more power than others, and he is the first in terms of merit. "

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he planned to add Yao Guangxiao as a senior official. He also asked him to return to the secular life, and "bestow it on the second and second palaces", but all of these were rejected by him. Yao Guangxiao helped Zhu Di to fight, not for the sake of high rank, money and beauty. He just wanted to realize his ambition. Since then, Yao Guangxiao assisted the prince to teach the emperor and sun, and became the three emperor teachers!

In addition to the identity of a counselor, Yao Guangxiao, who has the legal name of daoyan, has another identity, that is, a feng shui master. Today's capital is rebuilt under the leadership of this Taoist monk.

The general trend of Chinese geomantic omen is that it starts from the Kunlun Mountains in the West and extends to the East, with high in the West and low in the East and high in the north and low in the south. The western part of the capital is Xishan, which belongs to Taihang Mountains; The northern part of the capital is Jundu mountain, and Jundu mountain is Yanshan mountain range. The Taihang mountain range and Yanshan mountain range meet at Nankou, that is, Xishan Mountain and Jundu mountain meet at Nankou to form a Southeast Xunfang, a semicircular shanwozi, a big shanwozi, which is called Xunfang on Canyu Shanwan, a large capital plain, surrounded by mountains and water, is bound to have air. The capital is the most ideal environment.

After surveying the dragon vein, the two masters of Yuan Dynasty led the spring of Yuquan mountain into Tonghui river. Because the current comes from the west, the West belongs to gold, so the artificial river is called "Jinshui River".

Yao Guangxiao helped Ming Chengzu Zhu Di win the world, and then personally presided over the planning and construction of the Forbidden City.

Yao Guangxiao moved the central axis of the capital to the East. Once it was moved to the East, the central axis of the capital fell to the West. If it fell to the west, it belonged to the white tiger position. That was to say, Yao Guangxiao conquered the Wang Qi of the previous dynasty. And accordingly, he also abolished the original Xuanwu position in Dadu of Yuan Dynasty.

At that time, Qionghua island was the basaltic backer of the capital. He abandoned the basaltic position and built a Jingshan by hand. Jingshan was the basaltic position of the capital. Take the "Yandun" of a big Tai mountain outside Yongding gate as the case mountain.

Secondly, the layout of the city is more detailed and strict, according to the layout of the stars, according to the pattern of the big dipper and the twenty-eight stars. Therefore, the capital is a real star city in the eyes of the knowledgeable people, corresponding to the operation of the whole star in the sky.

Ordinary geomantic omen masters call geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geomantic geom. It's no exaggeration to call him a great master who plans for a city.

But what Zhang Fan didn't expect is that such a community was created by Yao Guangxiao, and it hasn't been destroyed for hundreds of years. It's really amazing."Alas, how many great masters can really take charge of urban construction in China for five thousand years? This master Yao can be called the best among all our ancestors. "

Liu facheng is also quite emotional. Speaking of master Zu, his family is not bad either. Zhang Fanna's Yang family is not only powerful, but also has a large number of talented people. Liao Jingjin, a famous Lai Buyi, is Yang's family. However, their ancestors are lower than this master in terms of achievements.

Zhang Fan frowned slightly. It's not that Liu facheng thinks highly of Yao Guangxiao, but that he doesn't understand why there is purple air around if Yao Guangxiao built this place? It is reasonable to say that the class division in ancient times was obvious, and only the Forbidden City could have such purple atmosphere in the capital. It's not obvious here.

"No, it can't be built by Yao Guangxiao unless it's part of the Imperial Palace in the past."

After Zhang Fan said this, he found that both Liu facheng and Liu Rushi were looking at him with strange eyes.

Liu Ru is worshipped, while Liu Fa Cheng is surprised.

"What? Did I say something wrong? "

Zhang Fan is baffled.

"Hey, brother Zhang, you're not wrong, you're right. Originally, this is the royal court. Can you see it on our left? That's the Forbidden City. "

"Purple, Forbidden City?" Zhang fan can't help scratching his head, which is really unexpected. He knew that there were many old buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties in the capital, so he didn't think much when he saw the place with red walls and green tiles Well, he suddenly understood how old the "senior official" Lin Yixin said was. Could he live in the original Royal Garden on the edge of the Forbidden City?

Seeing that Zhang Fan and Liu Fa are looking forward to Chengdu, Liu Rushi is not in a hurry to take them home. Instead, he takes them around in Zhongnan district.

Little girl told Zhang Fan, if five years ago, he wanted to turn in Zhongnan district is impossible. At that time, there were many important office places in Zhongnan community, and most people were not allowed to enter. Even the people inside, Zhongnan community was also divided into three areas: A, B and C.

Those who live in area B, such as little girls, are not qualified to enter the innermost area a at all. They can only go in and have a look at the freshness when two entertainment venues are open in area a on weekends. Fortunately, a few years ago, the above unified planning, the office all moved out of the central and Southern District, here has gradually become a high-end residential area.

Rao is so, the southernmost island of the community is still not allowed to enter, where the number is very front of the big leaders.

The more he walked in the community, the more he felt that the layout of the community was magical.

Zhongnan district is a park with land and water, facing south. On the left is the water park of Zhonghu lake and Nanhu Lake, and on the right is the park land for housing construction. The ratio of water and land is about five to five.

In terms of image, Zhongnan district is a relatively standard "Taiji operation" map. Mountains and water are opposite, yin and yang are in harmony, and Yin and yang are two fish, each of which has its own head and tail.

But the Taiji in Zhongnan district is not the same as the standard Taiji. The standard Tai Chi stands in the South and looks north. It should be left Yin and right Yang. And Zhongnan district is right Yin and left Yang.

If we look at this kind of arrangement from the perspective of form, it is difficult to distinguish whether it is good or not, because there is a relationship between shadow Tai Chi and inverse Tai Chi.

As the name suggests, shadow Tai Chi is opposite to the normal direction of Tai Chi, just like looking in a mirror, and reverse Tai Chi is the reversal of yin and Yang. However, this reversal of yin and Yang does not refer to the pure orientation of yin and Yang, but refers to the direction of Qi field within this scope.

The Qi field flows from the sharp tail of yin and yang fish to the round head, and then enters the sharp tail of another fish. Such Taiji is normal Taiji or shadow Taiji. If the Qi field flows in the opposite direction, from the tail to the head, and Yin and yang are reversed, it is inverse Taiji.

The reverse Taiji of yin and Yang reversal is naturally an ominous place. Shadow Tai Chi is auspicious.

Zhang Fan had been observing Qi and measuring the wind before. The final result is that this place belongs to shadow Taiji, and all the evil and gloomy Qi fields will be assimilated into auspicious purple Qi after entering this community. This is by no means what the ordinary Fengshui array can do. Apart from admiration, Zhang Fan really can't think of anything else to say.

When the group of four returned to the courtyard that belonged to Mr. Liu, Zhang Fan saw a table of eight immortals under the tall ginkgo tree in the courtyard. Mr. Liu was sitting on the chair beside the table, pouring and drinking with a Yixing purple clay teapot. Seeing four people enter the door, the old man smiles.

"Xiao Zhang, what do you think of Fengshui in our community?"
