Regarding the explanation of the 81 Star Combinations given or explained by most practitioners, one will find that when it comes to a few of the Star Combinations, such as 7-9, they uses the He Tu Five Elements as the reference to explain certain events (or a combination of both He Tu and Later Heaven Five Elements), whereas for most of the other Combinations, they uses only the Later Heaven Five Elements as the reference instead. Why is this so? Have you give a thought on this? Is it a case of “forced” explanation in order to fit the circumstances?

The Fengshui Classic Qing Nang Jing 青囊经 is the heart of Xuan Kong principle. Yet, in the entire text, the Later Heaven Ba Gua is not mention. Do you know why? If you know the reason, then you will come to understand the validation purpose of Fengshui Classics.

Mountain Landforms at Zheng Shen locations, Water Landforms at Ling Shen locations; Or, Mountain Landforms at Current Prosperous Mountain Star locations, Water Landforms at Current Prosperous Water Star locations; Or, ideal Shape, Form of Water or Mountain features in the surroundings. If your understanding of a beneficial External Fengshui is based on these, then you will have to reassess your knowledge of Fengshui.

Likewise, if your understanding of Landform Fengshui is based on memorizing the dos and don’ts, memorizing certain Landform Shapes, Forms or attributes and their corresponding effects or influences when one encounter them, then you will have to reassess your knowledge of Fengshui.

The term Fengshui 风水, as we know, is from the word Feng 风 (or literally, Wind) and Shui 水 (or literally, Water). Does this mean Wind and Water are the only important considerations in Fengshui?

If you think the Li Qi and Landform requirements for External and Internal Fengshui are similar, or the principles are an extension of the other, then you will have to reassess your knowledge of Fengshui, and perhaps may want to give a thought on the differences between Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine.

You may have come across various methods and sayings regarding the placement of the Luopan for the taking of measurements, or known as Setting of the Tai Ji Spot (立太极点). These methods and sayings varies widely today, such as, amongst many others, one that takes the Door as the reference, or one that takes the most Yang side as the reference, or one that takes reference based on a Tai Ji Spot for every Object, etc. With such varied approaches, what is the correct approach to Setting of the Tai Ji Spot? The above mentioned approaches are neither correct, but nor are they totally wrong! In the Setting of the Tai Ji Spot, there is only one principle, and that is Xuan Kong. If you are perplexed by this, or unaware of this Xuan Kong principle, then you will have to reassess your knowledge of Fengshui.

If, without the Sitting and Facing reading and hence unable to plot the necessary Flying Star Chart, you are unable to conduct a Fengshui assessment and ascertain the auspiciousness of a property, then you will have to reassess your knowledge of Fengshui.

It doesn’t matter how far you go if you are heading in the wrong direction.
