San Yuan Feng Shui (Jiang San Yuan)

1. San Yuan Overview

San Yuan Feng Shui, founded by Jiang Da Hong in the Ming-Qing transition. Uses San Yuan Jiu Yun as time framework and Heaven/Earth/Human Yuan Long as spatial principle. Emphasizes Dragon-Facing-Water matching within San Yuan Da Gua.

2. San Yuan Da Gua

24 Mountains divided into Heaven, Earth, Human Yuan Long:

• Heaven Yuan Long: Zi-Wu-Mao-You (Yang/Father) + Qian-Kun-Gen-Xun (Yin/Mother)
• Earth Yuan Long: Chen-Xu-Chou-Wei (Yin/Daughter) + Jia-Geng-Bing-Ren (Yang/Son-in-law)
• Human Yuan Long: Yi-Xin-Ding-Gui (Yang/Son) + Yin-Shen-Si-Hai (Yin/Daughter-in-law)

3. Dragon-Facing-Water Match

San Yuan requires Dragon, Facing, Water in the same Yuan Long. Same element = "pure Gua," auspicious. Different = "out of Gua," inauspicious.

• Heaven: Zi-Wu-Mao-You Dragon matches Qian-Kun-Gen-Xun Facing/Water
• Human: Yi-Xin-Ding-Gui Dragon matches Yin-Shen-Si-Hai
• Earth: Chen-Xu-Chou-Wei Dragon matches Jia-Geng-Bing-Ren

From the sitting Gua, find its Xian Tian position (governs descendants) and Hou Tian position (governs wife and wealth):

• Incoming water at Xian Tian → prosperous male descendants
• Incoming water at Hou Tian → prosperous wife and wealth
• Outgoing water breaks Xian Tian → harms descendants
• Outgoing water breaks Hou Tian → wealth loss
