Features: This book includes three ancient classics appended to the "Ping Sha Yu Chi Jing" in the Shu Shu category of the "Gugong Zhenben Congkan": "Lu Ban Jing," "Zhe Quan Quan Ji," and "Mijue Xian Ji." The original text was stored in the palace and is a rare and valuable edition published by Hui Xian Zhai in the Bing Wu year of the Ming Dynasty. It holds high version value. The "Ping Sha Yu Chi Jing" was also compiled and published concurrently with this book. This book is not only a unique discussion on architectural feng shui but also a treatise on the art of architectural structural techniques. It holds the belief that common building materials such as bricks, tiles, and small pieces of land are closely linked to auspiciousness and inauspiciousness, while the front, back, left, right, and dimensions of buildings are also deeply connected to fortune and misfortune. The book also introduces how ancient people chose auspicious days and the common talismans used in ancient times to ward off various disasters. It is worth specially introducing to readers that the original book contains a large number of illustrations depicting various ancient Chinese buildings and furniture, allowing us to see their specific appearances today. The content of Shu Shu is extremely vast, and it has been misunderstood for a long time. To provide readers with a comprehensive and correct understanding of Shu Shu, this series has invited relevant experts to write two prefaces: the first primarily clarifies the position of Shu Shu in traditional Chinese culture, and the second primarily explains what Shu Shu is.
