CONFUCIUS AS CREATOR OF FENG SHUI

The Debate

Some regard the Tang Feng Shui text Xue Xin Fu, Snow Heart Poem, as the most important Luan Tuo document. It is a pity that practitioners do not read or understand this valuable over 1,000 years old ancient Feng Shui text.

I had completed a deep exciting research study of the Tang Feng Shui text Xue Xin Fu, Snow Heart Poem, when a particular passage in the poem creates a nagging thought which kept throbbing in my mind. At this time, I had also studied several other ancient Feng Shui texts, e.g. Han Lung Jing, Yi Lung Jing, Tian Yu Jing, Tu Tien Bao Chou Jing, Rui Di Yen, Qing Nang Jing, Qing Nang Xu, Qing Nang Aow Yi, Tsih King, Zhangshu, Huang Di Nei Ching. Of course, long ago I had already studied the Confucian and Huai Nan Zi classics.

am aware that many Feng Shui masters had came away from these classics, bewildered at their difficulties at penetrating the meanings of the ancient texts. One well known Feng Shui master rightly said that only a person with good knowledge of Chinese culture and history can hope to unravel the age old secrets.

The thought had taken shape through a few years. It is the recognition that modern Feng Shui practitioners are unaware that it was Confucius who penned down the first Feng Shui texts! The modern Feng Shui practitioners are also unaware that the writers of the scattered ancient Feng Shui texts were actually commenting on what Confucius had written about Feng Shui.

The remarkable thing is that the writer of Xue Xin Fu, Snow Heart Poem, stated that much of what are in Xue Xin Fu, Snow Heart Poem, actually originated from Confucius! The pivotal passage is:


Even though calling water, how to get with water.
Who know sage Confucius' heart?
To the greatest extend, double (alternative) book being inferior to no book.
Some more, want to leave sharp vision.
Xue Xin Fu 440-441 (Book 4, Chapter 4).


The passage above is profound and full of significant serious implications for modern Feng Shui.
