The ancient legendary story about the Feng Shui of "Golden Lock and Jade Gate"
In the ancient times, the land of China was shrouded in fog and chaos. Xuanyuan, the wise and brave tribal leader, led his people to study day and night in order to identify the direction in the vast world. Finally, he built a compass. The rotating wheel was like a bright lamp between heaven and earth, illuminating the way forward for people, and it also became the prototype of the compass in later generations. At the same time, Youxiong, in the eighth year of his rule, ordered people to create the Jiazi calendar, which gave time a clear scale. Linglun was ordered to create the six laws, and the beautiful rhythms echoed between heaven and earth; Yuqu took on the responsibility of observing the sun, moon and stars. He looked up at the sky and looked down at the geography, turning the universe into mysterious symbols and laws. With the wisdom of the people, a calendar that could reconcile yin and yang and conform to the four seasons was born, with the month of Yin as the beginning of the year, opening a new chapter in Chinese civilization.
It was also in this era full of mystery and wisdom that a mysterious knowledge called "Golden Lock" quietly sprouted. It contains a profound understanding of the nature of heaven and earth, a precise grasp of the balance of yin and yang, and a unique insight into the fate of mankind. At first, the "Golden Lock" was just a secret passed down by word of mouth by a few wise men. They used this knowledge to guide people in the mountains and forests and in the tribes to avoid disasters. As time went by, after the continuous investigation, verification and supplementation of countless sages in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the "Golden Lock" gradually became a classic with a complete system and rare content. It is like a mysterious key that can open the door to the mysteries between heaven and earth.
As time passed, by the end of the Warring States Period, the princes were in dispute and the world was in chaos. Under the leadership of Ying Zheng, the Qin State rose rapidly and swept across the six countries with a powerful military force. After Ying Zheng unified China, he called himself Qin Shihuang. He wanted to let the Ying family's country last for thousands of years and pass it on forever. However, he was filled with fear and suspicion when he heard that the "Golden Lock" classic contained a mysterious power that could affect the fate of the dynasty. In order to eliminate potential threats, Qin Shihuang ordered a catastrophe that shocked the world - burning books and burying Confucian scholars. Countless precious books were burned, hundreds of erudite Confucian scholars were brutally killed, and the "Golden Lock" classic was not spared, suffering its first major blow since its birth.
In this disaster, there was a wise man who knew the preciousness of the "Golden Lock". He risked his life to hide the classic in his wife's clean bucket, and then fled into the mountains alone. The Qin soldiers searched everywhere, but they could not find this precious classic. His wife waited anxiously at home. After the Qin soldiers retreated, she carefully took out the classic, dried it carefully in the sun, and then took the trouble to send it to the mountains and handed it to her husband for secret hiding. Soon after, the Qin Dynasty was corrupted by tyranny. In just over 20 years, it was overthrown by the rebels led by Liu Bang and Xiang Yu and went to extinction.
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the world gradually returned to peace and culture ushered in a new prosperity. After years of silence, the "Golden Lock" treasure book finally saw the light of day and resumed normal inheritance and research. Many great scholars have devoted themselves to it. They either annotated or supplemented it, integrating their knowledge and insights into this classic, making its content richer and its theory more perfect. With the efforts of these scholars, the "Golden Lock" not only integrates the thoughts of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the Three Religions, but also deeply explores the mysteries of the innate and acquired Eight Diagrams, the River Map and Luoshu, and geographical feng shui, becoming a profound and mysterious knowledge.
However, as the wheel of history rolled forward, the fate of the "Golden Lock" encountered difficulties again. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, and his adviser Liu Bowen was afraid of the "Golden Lock" classic. Liu Bowen was worried that the mysterious power contained in the "Golden Lock" would be used by others, thus threatening the rule of the Ming Dynasty. So he instigated Zhu Yuanzhang to launch the second catastrophe of the "Golden Lock". A large number of books related to the "Golden Lock" were burned, and many Confucian scholars who studied this subject were killed. In this disaster, several survivors were fearless. They hid the only remaining classics in the bamboo on the roof and successfully avoided the search of the Ming Dynasty. Afterwards, they fled to the mountains and lived in anonymity. In order to protect this classic, they added the two words "Yuguan" to the title of "Golden Lock" and vowed never to let it come out again.
And Liu Bowen saw that the "Golden Lock and Yuguan" was doomed, and he had evil thoughts and fabricated a fake book to circulate in the world. The contents of these forged books distorted the true essence of "Golden Lock and Jade Pass". The key point was to kill the dragon and break the phoenix, trying to suppress the talents of the world and make the rule of the Ming Dynasty unthreatening. From then on, the forged books were rampant all over the world until the end of the Qing Dynasty. The real "Golden Lock and Jade Pass" could only be secretly passed down by a few survivors among the people. They were cautious and did not dare to publish this precious knowledge to the world, for fear of attracting another disaster. But they always had hope in their hearts, looking forward to the day when "Golden Lock and Jade Pass" can see the light of day again, once again unveil the mystery between heaven and earth for the world, and guide people towards harmony and prosperity.
在远古洪荒时代，华夏大地被迷雾与混沌笼罩。轩辕氏，那位睿智而英勇的部落首领，为了在茫茫天地间辨明方向，率领族人日夜钻研。终于，他造出了指南车，那转动的车盘，如同天地间的一盏明灯，照亮了人们前行的道路，也成为后世罗经的雏形。与此同时，有熊氏在其统治的第八年，命人创立了甲子纪年法，让时间有了清晰的刻度。伶伦奉命创造六律，美妙的音律回荡在天地之间；臾区则肩负起观测日月星辰的重任，他仰观天象，俯察地理，将宇宙万象化作神秘的符号与规律。在众人的智慧汇聚下，一部能够调和阴阳、顺应四时的历法诞生了，以寅月为岁首，开启了华夏文明新的篇章。
也正是在这个充满神秘与智慧的时代，一种名为 “金锁” 的神秘学问悄然萌芽。它蕴含着对天地自然的深刻理解，对阴阳平衡的精准把握，以及对人类命运的独特洞察。最初，“金锁” 只是少数智者口口相传的秘密，他们在山林间、在部落中，运用这门学问为人们指引方向，趋吉避凶。随着时间的推移，经过夏、商、周三代无数先贤的不断考察、验证与增补，“金锁” 逐渐成为一部体系完整、内容精罕的经典，它就像一把神秘的钥匙，能够打开天地间的奥秘之门。
时光流转，到了战国末期，诸侯纷争，天下大乱。秦国在嬴政的带领下，迅速崛起，以强大的军事力量横扫六国。嬴政统一中国后，自称秦始皇，他妄图让嬴氏江山千秋万代，永世传承。然而，他听闻 “金锁” 经典中蕴含着能够影响王朝命运的神秘力量，心中充满了恐惧与猜忌。为了消除潜在的威胁，秦始皇下令发动了一场震撼天下的浩劫 —— 焚书坑儒。无数珍贵的典籍被付之一炬，数百名博学的儒生被残忍杀害，“金锁” 经典也未能幸免于难，遭受了自诞生以来的第一次重大打击。
就在这场灾难中，有一位深知 “金锁” 珍贵的智者。他冒着生命危险，将经典藏入妻子的净桶之中，随后独自逃入深山。秦兵四处搜捕，却始终未能找到这部珍贵的经典。他的妻子在家中焦急等待，待秦兵退去后，小心翼翼地取出经书，在阳光下仔细晒干，然后不辞辛劳地将其送入深山，交予丈夫秘藏。不久之后，秦朝因暴政而腐败不堪，仅仅二十余年，就被刘邦和项羽率领的起义军推翻，走向了灭亡。
汉朝建立后，天下逐渐恢复安宁，文化也迎来了新的繁荣。“金锁” 宝典在沉寂多年后，终于重见天日，再次恢复正常的传承与研究。众多大儒纷纷投身其中，他们或批注，或增补，将自己的学识与见解融入这部经典之中，使其内容更加丰富，理论更加完善。在这些学者的努力下，“金锁” 不仅融合了阴阳五行、三教思想，还深入探究了先天后天八卦、河图洛书以及地理风水的奥秘，成为了一门博大精深、奥妙无穷的学问。
然而，历史的车轮滚滚向前，“金锁” 的命运再次遭遇坎坷。到了明代，朱元璋建立大明王朝，他的谋士刘伯温对 “金锁” 经典心生忌惮。刘伯温担心 “金锁” 中蕴含的神秘力量会被他人利用，从而威胁到明朝的统治。于是，他怂恿朱元璋发动了对 “金锁” 的第二次大浩劫。大量与 “金锁” 相关的书籍被焚毁，许多研习这门学问的儒生惨遭杀害。在这场灾难中，几位幸存者临危不惧，他们将仅存的经典藏在屋顶的毛竹之中，成功躲过了明朝的搜查。随后，他们逃至深山之中，过着隐姓埋名的生活。为了保护这部经典，他们将 “金锁” 之书名加上 “玉关” 二字，并发誓永不再让其出世。
而刘伯温见 “金锁玉关” 大势已去，竟然心生邪念，编造伪书在世间流传。这些伪书的内容歪曲了 “金锁玉关” 的真正精髓，其要害在于斩龙破凤，企图压制天下的能人异士，让明朝的统治不受威胁。从此，伪书横行天下，直至清朝灭亡，真正的 “金锁玉关” 却只能在民间由少数幸存者秘密传承，他们小心翼翼，不敢将这门珍贵的学问公布于世，生怕再次引来杀身之祸。但他们心中始终怀揣着希望，期待着有一天，“金锁玉关” 能够重见天日，再次为世人揭开天地间的神秘面纱，指引人们走向和谐与繁荣。
