[PureInsight.org] Among the many princesses of the Great Tang Dynasty, in addition to the famous Princess Wencheng, Princess Hezheng was also a special princess. She was born noble, but did not rely on favoritism to become spoiled. Instead, she possessed many virtues. Emperor Tang Daizong regarded her as a “national treasure,” and the famous Tang statesman Yan Zhenqing even wrote an epitaph specifically for her. In his article, he praised Princess Hezheng, saying that she possessed “virtue, beauty, achievement, righteousness, benevolence, filial piety, and loyalty. She was gentle, humble, and respectful, and had a broad and inclusive mind,” and that…
[PureInsight.org] Shen Yun Performing Arts will start its 2024 global tour on December 22, 2023. Nagoya, one of the three largest cities in Japan, is fortunate to be the first stop.

[PureInsight.org] Preface: In many Asian countries, there are many Feng Shui enthusiasts. They have learned some Feng Shui theories from the traditional texts and through years of research and validation, they have found that Feng Shui can indeed play a certain role. Western scientists have also discovered the phenomenon of energy flow and geoelectricity in the earth, which is consistent with the theory of Feng Shui. Many large Western companies and Southeast Asian tycoons even hire full-time Feng Shui masters and consult them on every matter. Feng Shui originated in China, which is widely recognized. There is a saying in…
[PureInsight.org] In history, Zhang Sanfeng was regarded as a Tai Chi master, a martial arts legend, and a true immortal in Daoist cultivation. At the same time, he was also a grand master of Feng Shui. In the “Geomancy” chapter of the “Tiankou” section in the “Complete Works of Zhang Sanfeng,” Zhang Sanfeng said, “Only the heavens cover good and evil, only the earth carries good and evil, only the immortal teacher buries good and evil in the heavens and the earth. The heavens cover without bias, the earth carries without bias, and the immortal teacher has no selfishness. When…
[PureInsight.org] The “Dao De Jing” says, “Man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven.” Daoism regards the human body as a small universe, so the universe is like a big human body. Likewise, the earth is also a living organism. The structure of the human body contains information about the structure of heaven and earth, with the large and small heavenly circles, meridians, and acupoints. The earth is also the same, with its own meridians called “dragon veins” and acupoints called “earth caves.” There are gods on the dragon veins and earth caves. Following the laws of the movement of…
[PureInsight.org] The land of China where our nation thrives and prospers is a land of Feng Shui treasures. Over the course of 5,000 years, amidst the changing dynasties and tumultuous times, it has nurtured the splendid and glorious civilization of China. According to legend, the family that finds a dragon vein and discovers the dragon cave on it can rule the world. But what exactly is a dragon vein? In “Comprehensive Treatise on Geography and Mountain Laws,” it says: “What is a dragon? It is the pulse of the mountain. The soil is the flesh of the dragon, the stone…
[PureInsight.org] “Assessing form” (喝形) or “determining form” refers to the practice of a Feng Shui master identifying the name of a particular acupoint, such as “Double Lions Seizing Treasure,” “Twin Dragons Playing with a Pearl,” “Rhino Gazing at the Moon,” “Fierce Tiger Descending from the Mountain,” and so on. Sometimes a poem is also left behind and passed down through folk tradition. The accuracy of “assessing, or determining the form” can reflect the depth of a Feng Shui master’s skills. If the identification is accurate, it can assist in choosing the location for burial, selecting auspicious dates, and other Feng…
[PureInsight.org] “寻龙” refers to the search for dragon veins, while “点穴” means to find the true acupoints on the dragon veins. There is a saying that goes “Three years to search for dragon veins, ten years to find the true acupoints”. In the folk tradition of Feng Shui, the basic knowledge is primarily based on the external form. Knowledge of external form is the foundation of Feng Shui and is also a basic technique that Feng Shui practitioners must master. However, over thousands of years of inheritance, these basic knowledge of external form have become increasingly confused, with more and…
[PureInsight.org] Wealth We have previously mentioned that true acupoints must have both form and spirit. In this section, we will focus on the characteristics of various types of acupoints. Modern people, especially in mainland China under the purposeful guidance of the Chinese Communist Party, are all focused on money. Without money, nothing else matters, and therefore, let’s talk about people’s wealth and fortune from the perspective of Feng Shui. As we mentioned before, “wealth” and “nobility” are different concepts, and there are differences in Feng Shui as well. Whether a location will bring wealth to future generations in Feng Shui…
[PureInsight.org] In the world of Feng Shui, there is a saying: “First-rate masters observe the stars and constellations, second-rate masters examine the flow of water, and third-rate masters wander around with a compass on their backs.” The compass is a circular tool used by Feng Shui masters in Feng Shui activities to determine direction and auspiciousness. In the Han Dynasty, the compass was a round plate with a square bottom mainly used for divination in the art of Qimen Dun Jia and had little to do with Feng Shui. In the Tang Dynasty, Feng Shui began to spread among the…
