Synopsis

[Feng shui + sacred sites of geomancy + geomantic arts + feng shui masters + feng shui knowledge, taboos, and ways to overcome them + mysticism, occult arts, fortune-telling, divination, and geomancy that can change both fate and fortune + no transmigration, no livestreaming, no female lead] In the chaotic final years of the Tang dynasty, Yang Junsong, also known as Yang Jiupin and Yang Yi, and later honored as Master Yang, carried a compass and led two boys into the mountains of Xingguo Sanliao in southern Jiangxi. Before them, two streams curved into an S-shaped Taiji symbol, while the rear mountain draped the land in shade like a canopy. The imperial feng shui master, fleeing Chang'an with secret royal manuals in tow, stopped and sighed: “This is a place where feng shui masters can settle for generations. Their descendants will hold the compass for ages to come!” His words proved prophetic, establishing a cradle for China's great masters of feng shui and creating the country's foremost feng shui village. Over the next thousand years, this village called Sanliao produced 24 imperial geomancers, including Liao Junqing, who surveyed the Ming Tombs, and Zeng Congzheng, who designed the Temple of Heaven; 36 doctors of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau; and 72 renowned folk masters. In the Ming dynasty, Liao Wenzheng won the “feng shui imperial examination” and received the title “Feng Shui Champion” from the Jiajing Emperor himself. In the Qing dynasty, Liao Dingkui traveled to Taiwan and identified the “Twin Phoenixes Carrying a Scroll” burial site, and within twelve years the Chen clan produced eighteen successful candidates in the imperial examinations. In the Republic of China era, Liao Bing's “painting the moon and marking the firewood” became a legend: the moon he painted waxed and waned with the lunar cycle. To this day, the saying “the signature determines fortune” is still heard in the Chaoshan region, where the Seven Liao families settled. This place holds too many unsolved mysteries. Why was a eunuch buried at the Zeng family's sand-hand formation? Why could the asymmetrical courtyard walls of the Snake-Shaped Ancestral Hall bring prosperity to the filial fourth branch while the disobedient second branch declined? This is more than a feng shui novel. It is an epic of survival in Chinese traditional culture, from The Canons of Shaking the Dragon in a thatched hut at the end of the Tang dynasty, to the secret preservation of books beneath sweet potatoes during the Cultural Revolution, and on to study tours organized by the Global Feng Shui Alliance
