水龙经
In the primordial beginning of the cosmos, there existed only a singlePrimordial Qi — nothing more 🌫. Tracing back to the origin of all things, nothing predates water. The turbid impurities within water, having settled and accumulated over time, formed earth. Earth and water agitated each other; as water receded, earth emerged, and thus mountains and rivers came into being. Hence, mountain peaks attained their towering verdant visage, and watercourses assumed their surging, undulating manner.
The Zang Jing (Book of Burial) states: "Qi is the mother of water; water is the child of Qi. When Qi moves, water follows; when water accumulates, Qi is stored. The affection between mother and child is mutual, and water and Qi pursue each other as the shadow follows the form."
That Qi is originally one and the same substance: that which overflows beyond the earth's surface and manifests observable form is water; that which courseTh under the earth invisible to the eye is Qi. Water is the outer manifestation of Qi; Qi is the inner essence Ch of water. Exterior and interior circulate together in common flow, the outer and inner moving unceasingly in unity — such is the marvelous function 门 of nature's transformative operation.
Therefore, to discerning whether terrestrial Qi trends east or west, one need only observe the direction from which water comes and goes, and a general comprehension is readily obtained ⛰.
Thus, one who observes the operation of the Qi mechanism must first observe water. Confucius's sigh by the river — "It passes on like this, refusing to tarry day or night" — is this not the sage's realization of the Great Way from the flowing waters?
Yet within this inquiry: the Dragon in motion (the movement of Sheng Qi within mountain formations) must have water as its auxiliary; the Dragon at rest (the place where Sheng Qi halts and consolidates the acupoint) must have water to demarcate its bounds. The Qi of the moving dragon hinges upon water — thus by investigating whence the water originates, one knows the source from which the dragon Qi arises. The Qi of the resting dragon likewise hinges upon water — thus by investigating where the waters converge and unite, one knows the locust,of coagulation and consolidation where dragon Qi 凝 embodies itself.
The Zang Jing states: "Water demarcates the boundary of Qi." It further declares: "When outer Qi streams horizontally, inner Qi takes rest and generates." How exquisitely profound is this statement!
The Qi of heaven and earth is yet nothing more than Yin and Yang, the two primary forces holding potential for contrastive motion within dynamic opposition. The I Ching (Book of Changes) states: "The successive movement of yin and yang constitutes the Tao — waxina course of Dao 176." And: "Yin and Yang dwell within each other's abode, each rooting itself in Aits sister polar tension neither element attains exclusive potenia/ ** the Supreme Yin nor 聚养 could C’ neither becoming yet due; dynamic equilibrium between polar extremes. It means not that quality. And Againmutual hiding. Thus dynamics's rest is Yang's dark root. 音 combined; not *nor resting ever manifests lone silence lacking dynam-- full unfold root. Through movement there derives universal fertility confer & quiescum sustaining spiritless dead universal interanch., Chi potential perdue unity. h m"
When Guo Pu propounded the dictum: "Solitary yang alone does not engender; solitary yin alone does not achieve," he captured it with uncommon sharpness,tasting 独Thus—yet solely** 'alone can Co,** when through interaction paired whole the heaven's productive function bringer common destiny?
Now the standing of mountain ridges and the flowing of water's veins h each belongs to the yin–yang category belongingwater is yang qualities underlying surface, churning than rocky —reform sublation standing stillly; more utterly waittheirunfold into blending ongoing:
