Argument: Five Secrets of Geography (Dragon, One)

1. Dragon:

The dragon is ups and downs, changing and looming. Some people say that "the dragon has no image", but this is because they do not understand the spirit of the dragon god. Mountains have mountain dragons, and waters have water dragons. The dragon has its top raised and peeled off, and its body is winding and undulating, rising and falling like a dragon moving, so the image of the dragon is referred to as "mountain". The dragon is on the surface but the veins are hidden in the mountains. The dragon is moving but the veins are still. When it moves, it is still. The dragon pushes the pulse and the Qi moves in the ground. Therefore, it is said: Qi moves with the pulse, the pulse moves with the dragon, and the dragon moves with the water element. The movement of the mountain is yin, the pulse is still and yang, one yin and one yang, one surface and one interior. When natural intercourse occurs, the qi will be solid and the acupuncture points will be formed naturally.

Mountains vary in size and fatness, and dragons vary in strength and power. The branching of the mountain is due to the dragon's energy, and the solid energy that does not disperse is the result of the boundary water. Dragons and dragons use water as their boundary. If there is no water boundary, their Qi will be completely lost. Mountains are the body and water is the blood. When a dragon travels, there are two waters accompanying it and protecting it on the left and right. The owner of the dragon is Ding, while the owner of the pulse is noble, and the longevity is determined by Qi. As the dragon travels along the way, the water on the left and right will inevitably merge into one place. The divisions and unions of water and the divisions of mountains are as solid as a Luocheng. The size of the bureau is measured in terms of Luocheng. Some are like stars, some are like walls, and there are various images. Therefore, "images are observed in the sky and formed on the ground." If the situation is big, it will be noble and big, and if the shape is small, it will be tiny. If the Qi is sufficient, the nobleness will appear; if the Qi is weak, the body will be weak. If the dragon is true, there will be a situation, if the dragon is false, it will be an illusion. But if you take it from the Dragon's True Cave, you should abandon all illusions.

The shape is divided into five, and one splits into nine. This is called the "nine-five supreme". What is five? Metal, wood, water, fire and earth. What is nine? He who is greedy for great wealth, civilized and honest, but weak for military service is also a man of great power. Therefore, the dragon has nine changes, ninety-nine and eighty-one. Wealth and poverty are all changing.
