		<description><![CDATA[For some reason, there is a natural human aversion to dust. Dust actually looks weak and unthreatening, and “death by dust” is almost laughable. Although it may be usual to think that dust is harmless, a housewife, on spotting some dust, will immediately pick up a damp cloth and wipe it away. Obviously, some deep rooted instinct of nature is at work.

地理之道、以龍穴為本為宗、葬親求地尤當擇師為上矣。若然苟非非真人、為害不淺。古雲得吉地不難、得明師難。今日得明師、明日得吉地矣。但名師多名於后 世、而不名於當時、其中有理數存焉。如南昌托辜長老、著有入地眼書傳世、為友葬劍脊龍、被雷劫之災。永康劉氏、豐城范氏皆明師也。同时均、且遭谤於世、是 道岂可轻泄也。蓋龍穴乃天造地設生成之妙、不可假一毫勉強、為地師者不得以己之所憎而不輿、亦不得已之所愛而輕輿、惟體天眷有德之言、以行其術、自能為福 於世而無遺謫矣。天地有生成之龍、即有生成砂水、必有生成之福人受用。
諺曰︰福人等福地、人死地開花、此言信不誤矣。昔杜后無齒、配周王而郎生、鉤戈手拳 匹漢王而自解、此乃見物各有主也。況天下大地深藏不露、鬼神所守以待有德、無論俗眼不能識之、即識之亦何敢妄用而輕泄哉。訣曰︰大凡怪穴有蹊蹺、龍更十分 奇、認得龍神真、怪穴始堪針、龍若真時穴更真、扦之吉自生。龍不真兮少真穴、莫把天機胡亂覓。真龍藏掩穴奇怪、俗眼何曾愛、天真地秘鬼神司、時輩豈能知、 明師解得玄機訣、珍重不敢說、恐君緣福或輕微、指出反驚疑。（至言至理世人皆中此弊、若輩用之后世尚驚疑、則世間大地皆有發福之地矣）龍在山各有形、星體 要分開、方圓尖秀不相倫、見者必須斟、金木水土皆堪取、無福休輕輿（不言火者以五結地、行巾火星多不也）泥分五色取紅黃、葬后必榮昌。
一龍到頭只一穴、墳 多真氣泄、一點靈光仔細看、人羨地中仙、恐見真龍人不識、故泄天機秘、龍虎交抱有兒孫、外獲始相親、干支爻象不淆混、發福何須問。朝拜重重見貴人、韋布到 龍廷、旗鼓層層排左右、光前更裕后、三叉水口鎖羅星、積玉又堆金、覓祖求宗尋正脈、諸星詎能雜、不見煞矅是真龍、奇花滿地紅、寶貴龍神大帳尋、作墓福非 輕、行龍瘦削更雜亂、立穴多貧賤、砂水明堂簸又針、離散走天涯、四山高壓人丁少、英年難壽考、陽來陰受是真機、陰來陽穴機，貼身龍虎如蟬翼、門內多祥瑞、 個字中抽三合明、財帛自豐盈、砂明水用人皆見、安墳福有限、形如金屋貯阿嬌、此地出賢豪、龍虎敬拳來抱穴、子孫多拂逆、龍在平陽結隊行（余少習遍大江南 北、星體地理行易求、真龍難得）廊廟有名臣。灣環之水悠悠去、金玉常常聚、開合迎送認須真、名師始可稱、不問吉凶即立穴、（無怪今日地師之多也）枉把人財 覓、散漫無收氣不全、莫戀達峰巒、生成星體不開口、到此須回首、行遍山原眼界寬、仙路許登攀（不遇明師指點真訣、何時能得其路乎）更能元運挨星熟、妙術稱 奇絕。

擦泥劍元運挨星真訣
挨者比也、星者紫微坦外之貪、巨、祿、文、廉、武、破、輔、弼九星也、楊公以九星配巒頭之形、故用九星以明巒頭之氣。挨星者與巒頭相比相並而立而行也、此 法乃玄女授赤松子秘文、赤松子授黃石公而作青囊經。黃石公授張子房、子房得傳而作赤庭經、雖有書而元真訣、遂失傳焉、厥後葛稚川遊王屋山、親遇左宮仙太乙 真人、授書三卷、上皆蝌蚪文字、葛公不識、真人戒曰天機玄妙、慎勿輕泄、歸以錦囊貯之、忽一夕雷電晦明、遂失首卷、二三幸存、書名渾天寶照、內寓看龍認氣 秘訣、晉郭璞得葛仙人口訣、演出葬經、與玄空妙法、唐楊益得此術、以授黃妙應、複恐失傳、根源無考、又作天玉寶照諸經、以授曾公字、其中顛倒排星、雌雄相 配、認巒頭取向水、一本先後天卦之作用、大玄空五行今人不之其妙、妄立穿山透地七十二龍分金坐度、於是僞法分然、真法日隱、蔣子雖有注書之勞、究竟真未 明、欲宣其義、而反其昧其義、目講師親遇仙人口授真訣、遂作序、發明玄空奧旨挨星秘訣、複傳秘旨、以定四十八局之禍福吉凶、與玉函經、玉鑰匙、搖鞭賦相爲 表裏、而地學之三元三運遂昭然若揭、天玉之開天劈地定雌雄、翻天倒地對不同、十二陰陽一路排、一個排來千百個、坎離水火中天過之義、幽雅彰彰可考矣。訣 曰：若夫星有九而先用貪狼者、蓋天數生於一、地數生於二、一二爲天地陰陽之大父、排星得之寶貴極品、首運用貪狼立極、取夫婦相應水火既濟、則龍從火裏逍遙 出、虎在波中放浪行、論星相則一八相生、語卦義則坎離交媾、此甲癸申三山之立、宜於本運坎龍也。既有旺龍必有旺水、二運排巨門於水口、一生二作本龍之庫、 曰巨門、乃持守者也、壬丙之武曲、官旺之向、水口有巨門、經故曰：龍要合向向合水、水合三吉位、一二爲龍水去來之天關地戶、得天得地而成位乎其中、故曰三 吉、山中生我水中長、性情直蕩漾、水中生成我山行、鱗甲壬飛騰、黃壤青黎垂禹貢、衰旺宜珍重、祿文青宇闡元機、知者是仙師、此坤壬乙三山宜在二運也。一合 二而成三、三無體以一二爲體、萬物發端肇始、虛而成實、故爲祿存、祿者天地之所以政養、存者以無體而存有體也。純陰杳冥、存無存有爲陰極陽生之象、此星爲 地體、爲坤卦、而中藏生氣、亁遇巽時爲月窟、玄機自我出、地逢雷處起天根、陰極則陽生、天卦下臨地卦中、向向合玄空、地卦翻臨天卦位、山山吉神會、此子未 卯三山宜在三運也、二二爲四、得地之陰而無陽、純陰多水而蕩漾、故曰文水之之泫灣繞而去故曲曲、此星只宜在向上作過脈、若向挨到、主生人聰明好色、貴顯多 滛人丁大旺、而有母明父暗之嫌、辭氣光芒射鬥牛、風雅歌好求、豪華鬥牛酒詩千首、鶯語藏花柳（此未當元運而遇水之文曲曲）得元得今爲英俊、鳳把經綸蘊、歸 真返朴賴巨門、興國作幹城、（土能制水而人正直不阿、非又當元故出泛濫無歸）此戌乾巳三山宜在四運也、二二加一爲五、厚地成天、位居九數之中、內外生成界 爲至尊之所、故爲廉貞、廉者靜也、貞者定也、靜定而後居中得中皇之正氣、挨星山向遇之必主損丁破財、而遭回祿之災、以位尊威重不可犯也、仙師於此運故將前 十年寄巽、後十年寄乾、以避其威、五加一而成六、爲成數之始、分三才而兩之、包羅萬象無往不利、故曰武曲、武者所向捷也、老縂戌運籌帷幄、麟閣標名、大將 攬#邊關、雁門著姓、文經武緯、用彰山水之奇、執筆操戈、克顯鍾靈之秀、此艮巽亥三山應排在六運也、五加二成七、五爲至尊、二經純陰加之、有下犯上之象、 故爲七煞破軍、破中黃之氣而有煞象也、鬥柄周旋、見天機之奧妙、洛書定位、微地德之含宏、山宜旺而得旺、室有簪纓、水宜零而逢零、家多粟帛、此艮丙辛三山 宜排在七運也、挨星用七（北只有七星、八九兩運用、鬥輔弼者在中宮相近也）而八九二數居中宮左右號曰輔弼、輔在廉之左右、其卦屬艮、火地氣脈相類、廉貞位 中、不能隨運轉移、故以輔代廉職、主政於八運、皎潔一灣新月虎嘯潭中、輕盈滿樹奇花、龍遊嶺上去死就生、獨見巍巍之時、將賓作主惟瞻浩浩之流、此寅庚丁三 山故配在八運也、九運右弼居北斗之右、其卦屬離、與廉貞易位、代貪狼之職、貪狼屬震爲長子、開九運之先聲、弼星屬巽爲長女、收三元之功效、星辰在天形在 地、動靜宜合氣、挨排臨水複臨山、禍福盡相關、從茲永俱靈根、詎有陰差陽錯、自此全參妙諦、何難倒海移山、精神操於一掌之間、元奧闢於毫釐之際、此午酉醜 三山排在九運、以終天地人三元之卦義也。總訣曰：坐正朝零語不明、遺誤禍非輕、縱危害識得零和正、雌雄要捉定、龍差局錯穴情乖、變出火坑來、天星地曜能推 布、認得桃源路。

插泥劍九星總訣
一運之星何以必在貪狼、蓋天一生水始於坎北、爲發源之處、陽賴陰生、一氣交通之根源基於此也、經所謂朱雀發源生旺氣是也、艮屬巨門、一陽極於上、至是而 止、水於是乎歸縮、山於是乎涵萃、山水聚會之處、如玄牡之門、直陽出入之所、靈秀所鍾之地、故此星去來皆吉也。北斗七星打劫之法、以巨門之二守龍庫、破軍 之七守局庫、爲二七離宮相合之法、用此立向收水方爲全局。打劫者、北斗七星挨到水口、凡立穴之處、四圍若有煞煞曜屹爲營壘、取北斗以破其軍、破即打也、劫 者劫此水口內尊貴之物、皆爲我之龍向所有、故曰劫、何以能爲龍穴所有、離宮要相合、則爲我有矣。諸書不傳之奧妙、數語分明、得此書者不惟解得玄空奧旨、且 於九星合命名之義昭然不紊、真元運家之模楷也、非緣福亡厚者安得此妙法哉。合離宮者向首也、大玄空三卦、合龍、合向、合局、合水皆取象坎離、爲先天日月合 壁、後天水火中天過也。故凡龍穴向上皆屬離宮、不必一定離之在南、坎之在北也、且二十四山之中、九星五行不一而有、戊己黃婆爲之調合、自能金木相親、水火 相戀、則挨星運用之妙已窺其堂奧矣。堪輿之道此爲真衣缽、真薪傳予非好爲辨論也（虛蔣子注書辭誤之人貽害不淺、意朦混恐其自誌此以醒迷）詩曰：有書無訣是 青囊、詎別山光與水光、作此挨星真妙法、乾坤滿地桂花香、千秘訣玉函經、點破天中七個星、江左凡師未有見、會知不得授非人、五行顛倒一行師、僞法平砂世莫 知、泄破天機真奧旨、人間有路到雲衢。交成器天機要語：一二三兮七八九、山情水意要相守、七八九兮一二三、山情水意要相關、五貢起巽兩邊堆、坎離寄旺八神 歸、巽位連天水收地（水口排在地卦也）乾宮連地水收天（水口排在天卦也）上下中各二十年、推餘一百八十全、中兼上下三元旨、五爲餘年掌上輪、天星地曜由人 布、三元不敗局能成、又宜隨局參正變、四凶四吉交互見、中有黃婆意氣親、南北東西爲一片、先天卦臨後天中、後天卦臨先天面（真機鼓蕩生氣非仙法孰能有此） 龍神山水不相論、排星又宜零正辨、當元得運爲正神、正用山龍零用水、萬里河山一掌分、順行乾宮逆行巽、玄空妙法語分明、諸法無如此法貴、無形山水能相對 （若雲非貴何習輔星水法長生水法之人色人取富貴添丁聚財竟無一言之效）急來人此訪名師、悟徹玄空方不愧、河車運轉法輪高、須明換象與抽爻、千言萬語難全 [...]]]></description>

There are many beautiful people and events we experienced.  Kindness.  Generosity.  Graciousness.  Courage.

There are sad events which crossed our path, and, of course, negativity in our dealings with people.  Selfishness.  Extreme Greed for money &#038; control.  Then there are the sick and the depressed ones who suffer in their shadows.

		<description><![CDATA[Many people often wondered when is the right time to engage a Feng Shui Consultant. There is actually no right time but the best time. By the time a person decides to engage a Feng Shui practitioner, they are most likely in a dire situation. Those who engages Feng Shui consultant very early are either true-believers of the Chinese Art or they have seen and experienced the true results of what Feng Shui can do or has done for them. For these people, their objective now is not about how to recover from dire situations but how to improve and take another level forward from where they are at the moment. This is how amazing Feng Shui can be used by everyone.

		<description><![CDATA[We were commissioned to do some FN'B Feng Shui Assessment in our recent Shanghai trip. The location is Super Brand Mall in PuDong, Shanghai. It is in THE location in downtown PuDong where it is the only mall facing the circular pedestrian bridge “东方浮庭” being constructed to serve pedestrians of the golden circle of the banking, financial and administrative district.  The circle will connect the human traffic of LuJiaZui Road, FengHe Road and Century Avenue.

Anyone would have thought the Super Brand Mall stands to gain as the only main shopping mall at the connector. But it doesn't seem like it. Sales in this mall has dropped 15-20% since construction work started.
Not all Feng Shui application even those that use 'famous' techniques are applied correctly or sentimentally for protection and sustainability of Qi.

Not because of the elephant with a pyramid shape on its back; or the pictures of fishes, or the fire ball or the knives, or the criss-cross arches that looks like a net. It is not about the double BaGua, or lotus shaped building or the tortoise shell or the swirling water sculpture or new land. By the way, the three mountain warriors represented by the three towers are guarding the gateway at the wrong location. Sigh…

I agree whole heartedly with Mr. Richard Hassell, a partner with Woha Designs with regards to the ‘Feng Shui band-aids’ that intrude into the design aesthetics. Feng Shui does not have to be that way. The general public should not be able to discern when genuine Feng Shui is applied. ]]></description>

Water pollution will decrease harvest from the sea.

		<description><![CDATA[We had a discussion on Facebook and I touched on the subject of "tree being in front of an entrance". Interestingly, this afternoon, we had enough of my home-cooked Hainanese Chicken Rice so we went for Chinese dim-sum in Chinatown of Perth. And, I observed some Feng Shui to share on this subject.

The moment I stepped into the restaurant I knew that something was not right about its Feng Shui. Despite a full crowd, its Feng Shui ain't 'perfect'. As practitioners, it is our job to judge the quality and capacity of a premise's Yin-Yang all the time. Call it a occupational hazard. As I missed the visual inspection of the door, I walked out and took some photos.

It uses the lunar month as the basic unit rather than the solar month. And, it uses the Solar Year to define the length of a year.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Star KL:"Kuala Lumpur, said Vin, is known as a Spiral City in feng shui terms. This means that the city is well protected by a range of mountains surrounding it. With higher ground on the outskirts, water — the visible indication of how chi moves — naturally flows into the city.

“This chi is the energy of life. The art of feng shui is to help retain this breathing energy for prosperity,” Vin said.

“Water follows the gradient of the land, flowing from higher to lower ground. Roads also follow the same principle. Humans will gather where the chi gathers. Using the gradient, we observe how energy flows. This information will enable us to analyse how the flow can be slowed down and brought into a building, thus increasing human traffic and prosperity.”

Kuala Lumpur is fortunate in that it has rivers coming from the north and northeast of the city, and, observed Vin: “The river that brings life to the city is Sungai Klang.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a hilarious Reuters chat between 2 of our friends based in Hong Kong and Singapore. They are Southeast Asian Chinese banker and trader who manage multi-millions trades. Between them and a mainland Chinese on the side whom the trader consulted, they couldn't figure why most of Asia is closed for holidays. They have graciously allowed me to post this blog in jest.

(I will post an article on the Chinese Calendar or the (Luni)solar Calendar later to answer their queries.)

15:00:34 TRADER : eh, what tiger is next year
15:00:50 BLUR BANKER : this year
15:01:32 BLUR BANKER : you mean this year right?
15:01:55 TRADER : next year
15:01:59 TRADER : this year was not tiger]]></description>
