Confucius as Original Feng Shui Master Xue Xin Fu, Snow Heart Poem, has a remarkable passage indicating that Confucius was the creator of the original Feng Shui texts!: 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 shows that during the Tang dynasty the Feng Shui masters attributed the correct Feng Shui lore to Confucius and that there was already a contradictory Feng Shui doctrine going around. Yes, Confucius was a Feng Shui master and he wrote down his Feng Shui doctrines into at least some book! What was this Feng Shui doctrine which opposes what Confucius taught about Feng Shui? Xue Xin Fu, Snow Heart Poem, Attacks Compass Methods The fourth and last Book 4 of Xue Xin Fu, Snow Heart Poem, contains several passages attacking a group of wrong Feng Shui doctrines. One pertinent remarkable passage is: Twenty four mountains. Mountain names too complicated. Thirty six caves. Cave method how winding. Ancestral temple's water method misleading people. Five elements mountain luck/fortune have accuracy. Xue Xin Fu 381-383 (Book 4, Chapter 4). The passage clearly condemns the use of the 24 Mountains in a water method. It was a water method used to identify the "ancestral temple", i.e. the hsueh or Ming Tang. The use of 24 Mountains in connection with a method method is characteristic of the Compass schools. Yes, Xue Xin Fu, Snow Heart Poem, is attacking principles important even in today's Compass schools. The auspicious location must be identified through the Luan Tuo methods, with physical features conforming to the Four Heraldic Beasts as vital. But the Compass schools are using alternative methods claiming to detect whether a site is auspicious or not. For example, the Xuan Kong Compass schools compute Time through the 24 Mountains to locate the Zheng Shen and Ling Shen which vary with Time. As such, the water location,vis Ling Shen, will have different locations depending on the date. However, such a changeable water location determined by the Compass method will often contradict the Luan Tuo identification that the water mouth must be at the frontage at the South. Thus, where the Luan Tuo says that a site is auspicious or not, the Compass water method is liable to contradict the Luan Tuo diagnosis.
