A different naked eye system ?

The following is a re-blog from www.yxlfengshui.com

A local reader visited my blog posting on “Naked Eye at a glance”. He asked if I had made a mistake in my drawing.

In his email he attached the above clips and highlighted to me that the left side (Green Dragon) represented ‘Man’ so it should be Yang while the right (White Tiger) which would be woman and should be ‘Yin’. A harmonious Feng Shui house is Yin Yang balanced and required both the back and right conform to Yin while the front and left conform to Yang as depicted. Therefore, the left side being ‘Yang’ open spaces was preferred while the right being ‘Yin’ preferred buildings.

In my reply, I told him he was correct in his logic but there was no mistake made in my drawing. The fundamental difference between the 2 systems pops out because mine was derived from Yi (易) logic’s Hetu (河图). He should not worry about it.

Anyway I pointed out the following conflicting points in his logic:

Right is Woman which is Yin therefore shouldn’t the right preferred Yang instead to achieve the Yin Yang balance (隂陽相吸)?

Building or mountain which is already Yin by nature and hence by having them on right side (White Tiger) won’t it amplify Yin? No doubt it prosper woman, but note that White Tiger side also means petty people. Therefore, shouldn't there be more arguments and how harmonious can such house be?

Road or open space which is Yang by nature and hence by having them on the left side (Green Dragon) and shouldn't it end up promoting Yang. Because Yang is radiating by nature (阳主发射) this imply man will be ‘weakened’.

Hence according to the drawing(his) of a ‘well-balanced’ Yin and Yang, this suggest woman is in control and overpowering man (妻夺夫权). In such cases the likelihood of arguments are high (petty people) unless the husband doesn’t mind a capable wife earning more. But does the wife mind an incompetent husband in the longer term?

I am not saying our Naked eye system is correct and his logic is flawed. The point made here is that our system is based on Yi (易) and in which the Hetu( 河图) and the Early Heaven Gua (先天卦) are the 'toolkit' for it. Why? Because it serves just well (this is Yi principle too)! It is just like till today we use Newtonian physics to explain motion omitting relativity. Einstein did not create relativity to prove Newton wrong but merely expand the range of physical conditions over which the theory applied.

However, what is important is the Yi logic used in the deduction is constrained within Yi avoiding ambiguity like in his logic. Next, taking the example from my previous post, there is a famous Naked Eye quote: “龍边带路主犯偷盗” which means a premise is prone to theft if there is a road (Yang) on the Dragon side(Left). His logic will not be able to explain the theft .....
