There are two types of Feng Shui rulers: (1) Gate meter ruler and Dinglan ruler, (2) Five Emperor ruler, Six Emperor ruler and Ten Emperor ruler. The former is used to measure good and bad luck, and the latter is used to eliminate evil spirits. This time we will introduce the door meter and Dinglan ruler in detail.
The ancestor of architecture "Lu Ban" invented two Feng Shui rulers for Kanyu, each with different uses. The "Door Meter Ruler" is used to measure the size of the door, and the "Dinglan Ruler" is used for making furniture and altars. of.
1. Door meters
In ancient times, people attached great importance to the good luck and design of the door. They believed that the door of the home was a gateway for external social interaction, and they also decorated the lintel and door frame.

The door meter is used to measure the height and width of the door. The measurement rule is based on luminosity. The eight characters printed on the ruler are positioned according to the good and bad luck in ancient poems. Each word is divided into four small grids, and each small grid is printed with two words, each with a different meaning.

2. Ding Lan Ruler
In addition to attaching great importance to gates, room doors, and kitchen doors, the ancients also paid great attention to altars, furniture, and beds. Master Lu Ban also invented a ruler for measuring furniture called "Dinglan ruler".
The Dinglan ruler has two more characters than the door meter. Each character is about one inch and a quarter, and the decimal limit is 39 mm. The Dinglan ruler and the door meter are both similar. It is divided into four grids under each word: Ancient buildings are very particular about size, and the size of the gatehouse is believed to have a certain meaning. Generally speaking, the door height of a residential building is usually 1.77m or 1.98m or 2.10m, and the width is 0.81~0.91m. For example, the gate of a residential house in Fengshun County is 1.77m high and 0.67m wide. Shantou residential buildings are 0.69 cm wide and 1.95 cm high. The size of the Feng Shui gate tower in Shanhaiguan, the size of Songjing in Nan'ao Island, the Xinxing Liuguo'en Temple, the Royal Palace of Thailand, and the Confucius Temple in Shandong are all auspicious numbers. It shows that Chinese ancestors attach great importance to the culture of size.
Some people have suggested which sizes are better. Judging from the size culture passed down, the Luban ruler is the essence. Luban ruler can be divided into Yin ruler and Yang ruler. When used, it is used according to upper yang and lower yin. The yang ruler refers to the measurement of yang houses, such as corporate offices, residential buildings and other buildings, furniture, doorways, rooms, etc., where there will be good and bad changes in size. For example, 6816cm is an unlucky size for returning wealth, business, illness, stubbornness, widowhood, long treasury, wealth robbery, separation, official ghost, loss and escape, and 17827cm is a child, benefit, noble son, good luck, good fortune, and windfall. Prosperity, wealth, etc. indicate auspicious dimensions, and 27838cm is an unlucky number. This means that red is auspicious and black is unlucky when measuring. The use of Yin ruler starts from Ding (from two centimeters). The ancients meant that one inch of the sky and one inch of the earth (leave two). For ancestral halls, temples, mausoleum archways, tombstones, stone figures and horses, dolls, memorial halls, etc., red is also a lucky ruler. Black is the evil ruler.
Li Dexiong, senior garden engineer of Guangdong Province, believes that. The Luban ruler is the result of thousands of years of research by Chinese ancestors and has profound cultural origins. It is based on 0.618 ergonomics, mathematical natural concepts and the aesthetic optimization of the golden section. The ancients called it the "golden ruler". When repairing ancient buildings, it is necessary to measure according to the Luban Ruler, otherwise it will be difficult to restore the ancient buildings. For example, when building a door, according to the Luban ruler, the width is 0.81m and the height is 1.98m. This is the best ergonomic choice of 0.618 in aesthetics. The size of a door is like a harmonic tube in electronics. If the diameter of the diode is the diameter of a triode, the radio will not make sound; the door of a house is equivalent to the diameter of the diode or triode. If the size is wrong, it will Produces a "standing wave reaction" that causes poor air flow in the house.
Now that we have entered a new era, how do we evaluate Luban Ruler? We cannot simply deny or affirm it, let alone be too demanding of the ancients. We should take the essence and discard the dross, use the past for the present, and introduce the new with the old.
The popular Luban ruler is not accurate! ——Verification of the standard size of Luban ruler (Li Shouli)
Confucius said: "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools." To learn geography and Feng Shui, you must have an accurate compass and Luban ruler, but the popular Luban ruler is not accurate. This kind of Luban ruler was first produced by a company in Shanghai, and then various manufacturers followed suit. All steel tape measures have wrong formats. It uses a Luban ruler made of 42.9 centimeters, but 42.9 centimeters is not accurate. There is also a Luban ruler made of 50.4 centimeters, which is also inaccurate.
So what is the standard size of Luban ruler?
1. Classical basis:
1. The Ming Dynasty "Lu Ban Zhi Formal" collected in Tianyi Pavilion records: "The Lu Ban ruler has a curved ruler of one foot, four inches and four points. The eight characters are wealth, illness, separation, righteousness, official, calamity, harm, and good fortune."
2. "Luban Jing" records: "The Luban ruler has a curved ruler, one inch is four inches and four points, and there are eight inches between the rulers. One inch is a straight curved ruler and one inch is eight points. There are: wealth, illness, Li, Yi, Guan, Jie, Hui and Ji are also used to measure doors. "
3. Luban ruler is mainly used to measure the size of doors. As the saying goes, "Ningzao. "Ten family tombs, not one family." Why are you so cautious about building a family's family? "Ten Books on Yangzhai" "On the Construction of Open Doors" compiled by the "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books" compiled in the Qing Dynasty and collected by the "Kanyu Department", uses the ancient Feng Shui concept to talk about the miraculous function of building doors in communicating with the heaven and earth - the so-called "ventilation":
"Ten Books on Yangzhai" says: "Madam was born on the earth, and this body is all in the air. The so-called clear person swims in the air, but if you live in the house, the air will be ventilated because of the separation. This door ear is the place where the door is ventilated. Harmonious air will lead to auspiciousness, and bad air will cause misfortune. This is a certain principle of nature. Therefore, the ancient sages made door rulers, set auspicious directions, and carefully selected the month and day, so that the door would be the largest. "Ear."
This passage embodies an important point in ancient Feng Shui theory: treating the door as the throat. Under the psychological background of "harmony between man and nature", the large and small portals through which entrances and exits can be imagined have magical connotations of harmony, well-behavedness, auspiciousness and violence. Building and installing gates has become a very important matter. In the eyes of the ancients, if one has a decent family structure, complies with the creation of heaven and earth, and does not violate the laws of nature, he can achieve harmony with the "qi" in which people live. Otherwise, "being stubborn will lead to violence" and you will suffer.
Door size has everything to do with it. "So the sages made door rulers", this is the mysterious "Luban Ruler".
"Ten Books on Yangzhai" says:
It is said that there are several kinds of door rulers in the country, and they have been tested many times, but this ruler is the real one. Gaixi Gongshu Ziban was a sage who made the best wood. He studied the subtleties of nature, so he created this ruler. Later generations named it "Lu Ban Ruler".
4. The Qing Dynasty's "Regulations on Engineering Practices of the Ministry of Industry" lists 124 dimensions determined according to Luban rulers, divided into 31 for Tiancaimen and 3 for Yishunmen. Eleven, thirty-three from official positions, and twenty-nine from merit families.
There are also Menguangxing, Jiuliangxing, Qiu Gongsha, etc. on both sides of the Luban ruler, which are used to help the craftsman choose the time to build the door. Behind the Luban ruler is the Dinglan ruler, which is generally used to measure the dimensions around the tomb, the size of the burial, or the length and width of the tomb. It is divided into ten sections, namely "Ding, Harm, Wang, Ku, Yi, Guan". , death, prosperity, loss, wealth." The above is the style of Luban ruler. There is also a Luban ruler with eight stars behind it instead of Dinglan ruler. They are noble star, natural disaster star, natural disaster star, natural fortune star, and official star. Luxing, Lonely Star, Thief Star, and Prime Minister Star are mainly used in conjunction with the previous ones.
2. Expert opinions:
1. According to the cultural relics textbook "Ancient Chinese Architecture" edited by Luo Zhewen of Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House: the Ming ruler is 32 centimeters, and some say that the Luban ruler The wooden diameter ruler is one foot four inches, which equals 45.12 centimeters. The clear ruler is 31 centimeters, and it is said that it is one foot four inches four, which equals 44.64 centimeters. It is estimated that about 45 centimeters should be correct. The error is understandable because of inaccurate measurement in ancient areas. (One foot in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty was 32 centimeters, so the Luban ruler was 46.08 centimeters)
2. According to the "Dictionary of Chinese Ancient Architectural Terms" edited by Mr. Wang Xiaoqing: Luban Ruler is also called Ban Ruler and Door Ruler. , door light ruler, eight-character ruler. The ruler length is 1.44cm. It consists of eight characters, namely "wealth, illness, separation, justice, official, calamity, harm, and origin". The usage range of each character is 0.18 square feet.
3. The Luban Ruler in the hands of Mr. Zhao Chongmao, the former engineer of the Renovation Department of the Palace Museum in Beijing. The length of a ruler is one foot, four inches and four minutes = 460.8 mm.
(This is the Luban ruler collected by Mr. Li Shouli)
3. Scientific basis:
Cosmic microwave background radiation is the source of life, and the cosmic background radiation comes from The isotropic microwave radiation on the cosmic space background is also called the microwave background radiation. In the early 1960s, American scientists Penzias and R.W. Wilson established a highly sensitive horn-type receiving antenna system in order to improve satellite communications. In 1964, they used it to measure the radio intensity of the galactic halo gas. To reduce the noise, they even removed bird droppings from the antenna, but there was still background noise that couldn't be eliminated. They believe that these microwave noises with a wavelength of 7.35 centimeters from the universe are equivalent to 3.5K. In 1965, they revised it to 3K and made this discovery public, for which they won the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physics.
The most important characteristic of the microwave background radiation is that it has a blackbody radiation spectrum, which can be directly measured on the ground in the 0.3 cm-75 cm band; in the radio band greater than 100 cm, the ultra-high frequency of the Milky Way itself The radiation masks the radiation from extragalactic space, so it cannot be measured directly; in the band less than 0.3 cm, due to the interference of the earth's atmospheric radiation, it can only be measured by means of space detection such as balloons, rockets or satellites.
It can be seen that we humans are mainly affected by microwave background radiation of 0.3 cm-75 cm. This should be what the ancients called "vital energy". The doors and windows of a house are equivalent to the caliber of diodes and transistors. If they are mismatched, a "standing wave reaction" will result in poor energy conduction.
Then the optimal wavelength of vitality should be the golden section value:
0.618 * 75 = 46.3 cm
IV. Conclusion:
The standard size of Luban ruler is 46 cm, with an allowable deviation of 0.5 cm.
There is a Luban ruler in the Palace Museum in Beijing, which is 46 cm long, 5.5 cm wide and 1.35 cm thick, which can be verified.
2. The door must be used to accumulate wealth. If the middle room is placed on top, there will be thousands of boxes of silver and silk and ten thousand boxes. If the carpenter can understand this principle, the family will be prosperous and prosperous.
2. "Disease" will attract diseases at the door, and the ghosts from the outer door will enter the middle courtyard. If this word is encountered in the middle door, the disaster will be light and the danger will be avoided. It will also be compared with the outer door, twice a year. If there is no evil in the soul of sending a message, this word is absolutely unappealing.
3. "Li" is unknown at the time of marriage, so be careful in how it is arranged. If outsiders are in the middle of the house, and the son is separated from the south and the father is separated from the north, the owner of the house will be separated, and the couple will be busy with their thoughts. There are often troubles at home day and night, and the troubles are often difficult to deal with.
4. "Yi" refers to filial piety and filial piety, and the middle character of the word is the most true. If you recruit three wives in the capital, and the filial wives of high-ranking families respect their aunts, and the word "righteousness" is combined in the middle, it will be auspicious, and everything will be prosperous and virtuous people will be born. To ensure that everything goes without disaster, only the kitchen door is accessible.
5. "Official" is very auspicious when he comes to your door. Don't keep him at the gate. You must be careful about official affairs. The house in the middle of the house is prosperous. If you should give birth to a noble son in the house, his family will definitely have an official. Rich people come from rich families, and some people use this to fill their houses.
6. There is no need to brag about "tribulation" when it comes to the door. Everything in the house is troublesome every day, and there are even more harmful things to look out for. Spies and spies are always there to do harm. Children and grandchildren commit robberies and are criticized, and doing things according to the rules harms the family. The four evil stars and the four evil stars are unlucky, and stealing people's belongings will harm them.
7. "Harm" should not be used when installing a door. The outer door is often visited by outsiders. If it is used on the inner door, it will cause disaster. The family property will be stolen by thieves. The word "harm" is used when leaving the door alone, and things must be done because of destruction. If the craftsmen of the house can understand this principle and teach the owner, the house owner will always be prosperous.
8. "Ben" is the most auspicious when you come to the door, you will be strong both inside and outside the palace, your descendants and your spouse will be prosperous, and you will be able to make money every year and every month. Those who have this auspicious sign and a good fortune will have a prosperous family. This word means there will be no disaster at four o'clock, and the eight festivals will bring the sound of celebrating and revitalizing the family.
Ancient architecture is very particular about size, and the size of the gatehouse is believed to have a certain meaning. Generally speaking, the door height of residential buildings is usually 1.77m or 1.98m or 2.10m, and the width is 0.81~0.91m. For example, the gate of a residential house in Fengshun County is 1.77m high and 0.67m wide. Shantou residential buildings are 0.69 cm wide and 1.95 cm high. The size of the Feng Shui gate tower in Shanhaiguan, the size of Songjing in Nan'ao Island, the Xinxing Liuguo'en Temple, the Royal Palace of Thailand, and the Confucius Temple in Shandong are all auspicious numbers. It shows that Chinese ancestors attach great importance to the culture of size.
Some people have suggested which sizes are better. Judging from the size culture passed down, the Luban ruler is the essence. Luban ruler can be divided into Yin ruler and Yang ruler. When used, it is used according to upper yang and lower yin. The yang ruler refers to the measurement of yang houses, such as corporate offices, residential buildings and other buildings, furniture, doorways, rooms, etc., where there will be good and bad changes in size. For example, 6816cm is an unlucky size for returning wealth, business, illness, stubbornness, widowhood, long treasury, wealth robbery, separation, official ghost, loss and escape, and 17827cm is a size for having a baby, benefit, noble son, good luck, good fortune, and windfall. Progress, wealth, etc. indicate auspicious dimensions, from 27838cm is the unlucky number, which means that red is auspicious and black is unlucky when measuring. The use of Yin ruler starts from Ding (from two centimeters). The ancients meant that one inch of the sky and one inch of the earth (leave two). For ancestral halls, temples, mausoleum archways, tombstones, stone figures and horses, dolls, memorial halls, etc., red is also a lucky ruler. Black is the evil ruler.
Li Dexiong, senior garden engineer of Guangdong Province, believes that the Luban ruler is the result of thousands of years of research by Chinese ancestors and has profound cultural origins. It is based on 0.618 ergonomics, mathematical natural concepts and the aesthetics of the golden section. The ancients called it the "golden ruler". When repairing ancient buildings, it is necessary to measure according to the Luban Ruler, otherwise it will be difficult to restore the ancient buildings. For example, when building a door, the width according to Luban ruler is 0.81m and the height is 1.98m. This is the optimal ergonomics of 0.618 in aesthetics. The size of a door is like a harmonic tube in electronics. If the diameter of the diode is the diameter of a triode, the radio will not make sound; the door of a house is equivalent to the diameter of the diode or triode. If the size is wrong, it will Produces a "standing wave reaction" that causes poor air flow in the house.
The Luban ruler, with a total length of 50.4 cm, is divided into eight grids, which are wealth, disease, separation, justice, official, robbery, harm and root. Wealth, justice, official and root are auspicious, and disease , separation, robbery and harm are bad. Each grid is 6.3 centimeters, each divided into four small grids, each marked with different words of good or bad luck. Jidu dimensions are also used in different ways. For example, Yimen is mainly used in schools, Guanmen is mainly used in government offices and official families, and the two characters commonly used by ordinary people are Ben and Cai.
The Jiutian Xuannv Ruler is mainly used to control the size of indoor furniture, sacred tablets, and ancestral tablets. The ruler is 46.8 cm long.
