Riddle of Tan Yang Wu Rejecting Xuan Kong Fei Xing The contradicting Xuan Kong schools often use pairs of numbers in the "flight of the stars or 9 numbers" to evaluate auspiciousness. This article provides insights from research into the ancient texts about the real basis of the method of the "flight of the stars or 9 numbers".

The Xuan Kong schools use pairs of numbers for interpreting the auspicious or inauspicious aspices. The "flight of the stars or 9 numbers" is supposed to generate the two numbers for interpretations.
Liu Fa actually refers to the historical testimony of the orientation of the ancient Chinese architecture where the main entrance was invariably towards the South and the Sun said to rise in the East and set in the West. |

There are a number of ancient texts used to interpret the "flight of the stars or 9 numbers". Main texts used include Zi Bai Ju, Xuan Kong Mi Zi, Xuan Ji Fu, Fei Xing Fu. All these texts, purported to date from the Sung dynasty and before, have similar interpretations of meanings for various pairs of numbers. What these ancient texts say about the meanings of the pairs of numbers are quite clear and similar. But, the issue is that practitioners were unable to see from these texts how the "flight of the stars or 9 numbers" is to be made or started. Hence, there are disagreements about how the calculations should start. Zi Bai Ju clearly shows that the "flight of the stars or 9 numbers" is derived from the use of the 3 cycles of San Yuan with its 9 numbers. Jiang Da Hong insisted that the true Xuan Kong must use the 3 cycles San Yuan 9 numbers concept:

Middle row: Decoding: Equivalent in numbers - with blanks for "white" Bottom row: Decoding from current understanding: Filling in numbers in red for "white" During the Sung dynasty, geomancers associated the Year or Month with a color (or number). The Tun Huang document shows that one way of the "flight of star" concept was to pair the Year number with the Month number. The "flight of the stars" is always a Time concept and has been wrongly applied to physical directions. It is misleading to think that what Jiang Da Hong wrote about the necessity of the 3 cycles and 9 Yuns would support current Xuan Kong Fei Xing. There is more than that, as it is still not clear how to start the "flight of the stars or 9 numbers". Should the flight be started with the direction of the physical door or from the Time Yun or what? Jiang Da Hong wrote in his Tian Yuan Wu Ge that the "flight of the stars" is always a Time concept and this is supported by the evidence of the Sung dynasty Tun Huang document. |

Examining the texts of Zi Bai Ju, Xuan Kong Mi Zi, Xuan Ji Fu, Fei Xing Fu indicates that only Xuan Kong Mi Zi gives an hint of how to start the numbers. It is in the opening verse, which has not been well translated as follow!:
The above translators did not understand the opening verse! Such lack of understanding causes practitioners to argue about how the "flight of the stars or 9 numbers" should be started.
Thus, the Tun Huang monastery document begins to make sense. That document has a major diagram with the prevailing Year Time pattern, along with a series of smaller diagrams (indicating smaller Month Time indices) showing the different "flight of the stars or 9 numbers". It is quite evident that, in the Tun Huang monastery document the pairs of numbers are made by pairing the main number against the smaller numbers. Xuan Kong Mi Zi, Xuan Ji Fu, Fei Xing Fu are all Sung documents and they would likely harmonise with the Sung Tun Huang monastery document. A larger Time factor is matched against a smaller Time factor!

The major mistake of the Fei Xing school is to use the physical doors, when the opening verse of Xuan Kong Mi Zi actually refers to Time parameters! There is nothing in the ancient texts to show that the physical direction of a physical door is to be used to start the "flight of the stars or 9 numbers". Xuan Kong Liu Fa comes closest in using only Time indices to create the "flight of the stars or 9 numbers" - unfortunately Xuan Kong Liu Fa did not use the 3 cycles 9 Yuns method.
However, not knowing how to start the "flight of the stars or 9 numbers" is only one major error in current Xuan Kong schools. There are other major errors in the use of the "flight of the stars or 9 numbers" which have confounded the Xuan Kong schools down the ages.
The point is that one should have an astronomical understanding of what the "flight of the stars or 9 numbers" is about. Then, one can properly apply the methodology of the "flight of the stars or 9 numbers".

Both Feng Shui and astrology have real scientific basis like in the sciences of physics, chemistry, or biology, not just the mathematical calculations basis. The scientific evidence are out there. Skeptics are out of date and vastly ignorant!
One thing sad about modern Feng Shui and astrology is that they tended to be applied separately and independently of each other. You should guess that a total qi effect will be the sum of both Feng Shui and astrology. The ancient emperors would not call just one person but usually a group of experts who would include not only the Feng Shui master and astrologers, but also the rituals priests. That is, there was a holistic science where Feng Shui and astrology are meant to be integrated together, even as Jiang Da Hong said:
That is why in our GUI Management Centre, we teach and show that the Feng Shui and Zi Wei Dou Shu are meant to be used together. The courses teach not only the true scientific explanations but also what the ancient texts really say. Return to the original highly scientific Feng Shui and astrology! Contact us.
