演绎美国首府  -  华盛顿DC的风水 ; 看世界列強

四 章: 应用八字的辯証,演绎 “蔣介石”的成败功过

蒋介石与毛泽东是20世纪中国一代伟人。他们的成功与失败在华人圈中颇为人津津乐道。鄙人向来爱好研究风水以及命理八字•对伟人之命理尤有兴趣，广收天下名人生辰八字做为研究例子颇多。对蒋氏以及毛氏的八字命理自然早已推究多次并烂熟于心。多年来一直希望有个机会去蒋氏•毛氏故里考察风水。感谢浙江大学的陈望衡教授给我提供的一个机会。陈教授专于美学•艺术兼擅中国古典哲学。1993年他做为中国派出的高级访问学者访问新加坡讲授易经，美学，颇为轰动。

20－4－1994清晨，我与陈望衡教授以及其妇人从杭州乘火车去宁波，同行的还有中国风景名胜杂志的两位记者。在宁波下了火车，换上汽车，不需2小时就来到蒋介石出生地 - 溪口。这是一个风景秀丽的古老小镇。镇口是一座城楼式建筑，扁额上书“武岭门”。进得武岭门，可见别致的临溪街道。这就是唐代诗人多有吟咏的“剡溪”；水面宽约百米，水流平缓，清波荡漾。好一条溪水，它不仅为溪口增色不少；以风水来说，堪称其地命脉。靠近武岭门，最引入注目的建筑是建在西边的“文昌阁”，此是蒋介石•宋美龄回溪口下榻之处。再往前走，可见一黑色大门，上书“丰镐房”，是蒋氏祖居，再往前是－“玉泰盐铺”－“清庐”，为蒋介石之出生地。对于风水八字命理来说，一个人的出生地是最为重要的。

My studies in geomancy have lead to my belief in the importance of expounding the truth of geomancy principles by examining historical and empirical examples. In 1994, I did an on-site study of two most prominent and controversial leaders in modern Chinese History, Mao Zed Dong's birthplace in Chaos San; and Chiang Kai Shack’s birth place in Sic Co.

On 8 March 2001, I was queuing to visit the White House in Washington D.C. The temperature then was 6 degrees Celsius and I felt the cold of the breeze. It was then that I observed that the White House, which is situated at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, sits at 11 degrees north facing 191 degrees South. There are circular fountains at both the front and the back of the main building. Built in 1800 after the death of George Washington, the assembling of the building coincided significantly with the death of Quean Long, Emperor of the Zing Dynasty, who passed away on 7 Feb of the same year (the 3rd day of the first lunar calendar month).

America has had a tumultuous history of civil war and slavery, In 1814, the White House was partially burnt by the invasion of British army, who saw the new world as of their many colonies. It was later rebuilt and repainted in white, a tradition maintained to this day. Liberating the slaves was the main cause of the civil war between the north and the south. The sixteenth President, Abraham Lincoln, was assassinated for his movement to abolish slavery in this "war between brothers" which killed millions and involved some 1.2 billion.

In an effort to resolve the civil war and unite people during 1851 to 1863, the famous Capitol building (Congress) was erected at about 2 km on a molehill south east of White House. The top of the crown is a human figure standing at 87meters, approximately 253 feet.  Coincidentally, or in correlation with the building up of the American capitol, there was serious fighting between insurgents and the Zing army from 1850 to 1864 on the other side of the globe.                .

The Washington Monument, standing at 555 feet was erected in 1848 but was only completed in 1884 because of the civil war.  It is the tallest building in Washington D.C and the pivotal point of the state.  Apart from Capitol building, there are no other buildings higher than 12 stories.  It sits at about 1 km from the South of White House.  Capitol building is situated about 2 km east of the monument and 1 km west is the Lincoln memorial, built in 1922 with a longitudinal fountain with reflecting effects.  About 1 km south of the Washington monument sits the Jefferson monument built in 1943.  Potomac River from Northwest to west-to-south west towards South is approximately 100 meters behind the Lincoln monument.  The Pentagon is located on the South west of the river and on the North East are the white house and other monuments.

This combination symbolizes the dignity and honor of the country and in itself is a unique geomancy creation.

Any supremacy in culture is not just to guide the citizens but also to verify the truth of the I-Chin principles, the "eight diagram mathematical calculation", the logic of innate hexagram and cultivated/enhanced hexagram. This is evident in America where the geomancy creation of the building in Washington D.C was made without any consideration or influence by the geomancy principles but nonetheless still led to its establishment as a super power in the world.

In the beginning of the eighteenth century, the England was on its rise to replace Portugal, Spain and Holland as a colonial power.  By the mid nineteenth century, the British Empire had colonized countries in almost all the five continents and British flag was flying high on countries as far away as the newly discovered Australia and New Zealand as well as countries with thousands of years of civilization behind, including places such as Egypt and India.  However, by the middle of the twentieth century, soon after the Second War World, the effects of British colonialism began to fade away. Into the political and cultural void came America, the new world power.

America though not a colonizing country has, in the course of its development,established itself as a super power in terms of its economy, technology and military. This is an achievement second by many. Hence my observations on the correlation between the construction of America's seat of power and the nation's subsequent rise as a world power has boosted my confidence in I Chin and its principles
