Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 建築與文化資產研究所 === 100 === There are many different factions of fengshui, including the Intuitive School, which pays main attention to the environmental conditions and characterizes the environment condition into four categories. They are symbolized by the four elements, namely: long (龍,mountain range), xue (穴,cave), sha (砂,hill), shui (水,water) and the ultimate goal is to achieve the appropriate balance between the four elements. Long is one of the important concepts in the Intuitive School of fengshui and the Hanlong jing is an ancient text publishing discussions of the placement of the long element. The Hanlong jing is classified as a must-read classic literature, and many copies have been made since the Ming and the Qing Dynasties, showing that this text was a respectable fengshui text from that era. This text has also been published and referenced extensively in the present; living up to its legendary status. Unfortunately, since ancient times, the research was recorded in private copies by fengshui masters, causing the lack of a systematic organization and structure.
This study will focus on the Hanlong jing, and hopefully be able to systematically organize the text to identify the main points of the basics of the long element. First, to carry out the collection of literature to establish the scope and content of the text, to clarify the discrepancies that have arisen in different versions due to differences in copying. This is followed by the understanding of the text, and trying to establish the system for the principle of long. The "Jiuxing"(九星,nine stars) are used in the Hanlong jing to classify the shape of the mountain, and is used to distinguish between the good and the bad of the shapes of the mountain. The shape of the mountain, supplemented by the hills of Loxing(羅星,the Lo Star), Guan(官,officer), Gui(鬼,ghosts) and others, construct the ideal geographical configuration of fengshui, and is an important part of fengshui. And the main focus of the Hanlong jing is discussion about the identification of the shape of the mountain, and not the relation of the Five Elements, thereby confirming that this classic literary text is regarding the principle of long, which emphasizes on the ideal geographical configuration of fengshui.
