Yin Feng Shui Transformed: From Dragon Veins to Columbariums and to Rivers and Seas

Cremation is the process of a corpse's final disposition through burning, often after a funeral service and involving a permit for a body to be placed in a cremation chamber for one to three hours. The body is reduced to bone fragments and ash, which are then collected and returned to the family in an urn to be kept, interred in a columbarium, or scattered in a meaningful location.

The Millennium-Old Obsession with Blood and Earth Qi The older generation often said, "Only by being buried in peace can one bring blessings to future generations."

Traditional Chinese Burial emphasizes the complete coexistence of the body with the earth. Yin House Feng shui believes that as remains slowly decompose within the earth's veins, they release an energy field that resonates with the direct bloodline, thus influencing the wealth, health, and even career prospects of future generations. - The Book of Burial: "Qi resonates, and blessings from ghosts extend to humans."

Traditional feng shui masters in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Malaysia place a strong emphasis on burial practices for the deceased. They often clearly state their preference for this method in their information and videos available on their websites.

The information about Yin Feng Shui from mainstream China Websites have to make it sound politically & socially correct , therefore they will always conclude that " Burial customs or Cremation Method have no necessary connection with family fortune" but deep in the heart of the Traditional China Chinese Folks, especially those in the villages, they will still prefer Burial Method, unless they have no choice and have to focus on the "Feng Shui Of Cremation" Method.

In fact, the main Classical Feng Shui of San-Liao Village is still very much alive in China.

San-Liao Feng Shui

A historical birthplace: San-Liao village is where the famous Tang Dynasty master, Yang Yun Song, is said to have taught his disciples, including the ancestors of the Zeng and Liao families. The village became a hub for the development of what is now known as Yang Gong Feng Shui, which is considered an ancient and authentic form of the practice.

Emphasis on burial: The feng shui lineage from this region, often associated with the term "San-Liao," places a strong emphasis on Yin Feng Shui (the feng shui of tombs and burial sites). This aligns with the historical roots of feng shui, which was originally used to locate auspicious burial spots.

A "lineage" rather than a "school": The term "San-Liao" seems to denote a specific lineage or a particular style of teaching that originated from this village, rather than a completely different school with its own unique set of principles. It is closely tied to the foundational concepts of feng shui, particularly the analysis of landforms, mountains, and water, which is a key part of the San He school.

Feng Shui for the Deceased: Adapting to Singapore's Land Scarcity

Due to land scarcity in Singapore, many feng shui masters have adapted their practices. They now specialize in Yin Feng Shui consultations for columbariums, as this has become the primary method for housing the ashes of the deceased.

Burial policies in Singapore

The limited land area, roughly 278 square miles (710 sq km), has led Singapore to view spacious cemeteries as an inefficient use of resources. Since the 1970s, the government has consistently acquired and cleared cemeteries to make way for urban development, housing, and infrastructure.

The current policies include:

15-year burial limit: Since 1998, all new burials have been limited to a 15-year lease. After this period, graves are exhumed to free up the plot for reuse.

Exhumation and re-interment: For religions that prohibit cremation, such as Islam, exhumed remains are re-interred in smaller, individual plots. For other religions, the remains are cremated.

Only one burial cemetery: All new burials are confined to the Choa Chu Kang Cemetery Complex, the country's only active burial ground.

Crypt Burial System (CBS): Introduced in 2007, this system optimizes land use by burying the deceased in pre-fabricated concrete crypts, which can also be re-used. This contrasts with traditional soil burials that occupy land indefinitely.

Promotion of cremation and alternative methods

To further address land scarcity, Singapore has actively promoted cremation and other land-saving options. As a result, the country's cremation rate has dramatically increased from 10% in the 1960s to over 97% by 2017, making it the default option.

Alternative post-death options include:
Columbaria: Cremated remains are stored in niches within multi-story public or private columbaria, which use land more efficiently than cemeteries. A single columbarium can hold thousands of urns in the same space that might have accommodated only a few dozen graves.

Inland ash scattering: The National Environment Agency (NEA) operates secular, green spaces for the scattering of ashes. The Garden of Peace at Choa Chu Kang opened in 2021, and a second facility is slated to open at the Mandai Crematorium Complex in late 2025.

Sea burial: Families can charter boats to scatter ashes in a designated area south of Pulau Semakau.

While a pragmatic solution, the shift away from traditional burials has had social and cultural consequences. For communities whose rituals are tied to graveside visits, adapting to columbarium or ash-scattering ceremonies has changed ancestral worship and family gatherings. With former burial sites being redeveloped for housing estates, younger generations are less aware of these historical changes.

Chinese Buddhists have an easier option: scattering the ashes into a river or the sea.

The practice of scattering ashes into a river or the sea is considered an easier option for some Chinese Buddhists due to its alignment with key Buddhist principles, which can be a contrast to the more complex rituals of traditional feng shui burial.

Here's why:

Non-attachment: A core tenet of Buddhism is non-attachment to material possessions and the physical body. Scattering ashes symbolizes letting go and returning to nature, which aligns with this belief. It emphasizes that the soul, or consciousness, has moved on from its physical form.
Simplicity and Equality: Unlike elaborate burials or columbarium niches that can vary in cost and grandeur, scattering ashes is a simple, egalitarian practice. It avoids the financial burden and status-related complexities sometimes associated with traditional funeral arrangements, making it accessible to everyone regardless of wealth.
Universal Cycle: The act of scattering ashes into water—which connects to all other bodies of water, from rivers to seas—is seen as a return to the natural, universal cycle of life. It reflects the impermanence of all things, another fundamental Buddhist teaching.

Essentially, while traditional Yin House Feng Shui focuses on a physical location for the deceased's body to benefit future generations, the act of scattering ashes focuses on spiritual liberation and the release of the soul, which is a powerful and direct expression of Buddhist faith.

The clash and balance of tradition and reality

• Burialists hold firm: Business families place particular emphasis on the "dragon vein's protection," believing that the feng shui of ancestral graves can boost business prosperity;

• Cremationists are more sober: Environmental concerns coupled with economic pressures have led to a more aesthetically pleasing design for auspicious locations that appeal to the younger generation;

• A compromise: Some families cremate the remains first, then bury the ashes deep in a feng shui-selected site, balancing faith and cost.

The ultimate answer lies in the heart

1. Auspicious site > burial method: For both remains and ashes, burial in a true dragon's lair (such as a site facing water and backed by a mountain) is crucial;

2. Heart > form: Sincere remembrance and family harmony are more conducive to accumulating merit than elaborate funeral rituals;

3. Benevolence > The Ming Dynasty's "Four Lessons of Life" stated, "One's destiny is self-determined; one's blessings are sought by oneself." Acquiring virtue is the fundamental basis for improving one's fortune. (Buddhism Teaching)

Conclusion:

The choice between burial and cremation is essentially a balance between cultural heritage and the needs of the times. If elders have strong religious beliefs, respecting tradition is also a form of filial piety. If practical conditions are limited, a simple burial does not mean a lack of thoughtfulness. True "blessings for future generations" lie not in earth or fire, but in transforming thoughts into energy that nourishes life—after all, love and kindness are the eternal feng shui that transcends life and death.

Personal Thoughts by Taoist Sorcery Master:

Burial

If the deceased has living descendants—such as children and grandchildren—and burial is a viable option, it is traditionally the preferred choice. This method allows future generations of family members to gather at the cemetery to make offerings during remembrance days like the Qing Ming Festival and the Chinese Hungry Ghosts Festival.

When choosing this method, it is crucial to apply Yin House Feng Shui for Burial. You should hire a professional Classical Feng Shui Master who is well-versed in this practice. Improper burial can have serious consequences; for example, a "Shadow Corpse" (荫尸) is believed to bring misfortune to all future generations. - The "Shadow Corpse" (荫尸) brings misfortune to all descendants

Cremation (Columbarium)

If burial is not an option, the body is typically cremated and the ashes are placed in an urn within a columbarium. This still allows descendants to gather for offerings during remembrance days. For this method, you should apply Yin House Feng Shui for Columbarium and engage a professional Classical Feng Shui Master who specializes in this practice.

Scattering Ashes

If the deceased has no future generations and no one to conduct prayer offerings, a common practice is to cremate the body and scatter the ashes into a flowing river or the sea.

How does Yin (Graveyard / Tomb) Feng Shui affect future generations?

Many Chinese Language Feng Shui Websites and also the the English Language Feng Shui Websites owned by Classical Chinese Feng Shui Masters, have written articles on Yin (Graveyard / Tomb) Feng Shui but many Western Folks have no clue,or have never come-across , never heard of and have no idea about it.

It is my duty as a Taoist Sorcery Master to write again on this topic - Yin (Graveyard / Tomb) Feng Shui to give awareness about this topic , so many more Westerners will be aware of it.

In traditional Chinese beliefs and Feng Shui theory, the Feng Shui of a grave is believed to affect the fortune and health of future generations.

This influence is believed to be achieved through the resonance of genetic genes and magnetic fields between ancestors and descendants.The good or bad feng shui of a grave may be reflected in the health, wealth, career, marriage, etc. of future generations, and the scope and degree of the impact are related to the closeness of blood relationship. Generally speaking, direct descendants are the most affected.

Magnetic field resonance : Feng Shui believes that a person's innate magnetic field will affect future generations through the environmental aura of the ancestral tomb. The closer the blood relationship, the easier it is for the influence of the magnetic field to resonate.

Genetic associations : There are commonalities in the genetic genes between ancestors and descendants, so the differences in the magnetic field generated by Feng Shui will directly affect the magnetic field of the descendants.

Specific manifestations : Depending on the environment and location of the cemetery, feng shui may lead to different manifestations in the wealth, health, career, marriage, etc. of future generations. For example, some cemeteries may make the family prosperous, while others may cause health problems or misfortunes to the descendants.

The main contents of Yin Zhai (Burial / Grave) Fengshui include:

Dragon Point Search (寻龙点穴) :

To find and determine the ideal burial site, one usually has to examine the direction of the mountain range and choose a location with strong dragon energy.

Landscape pattern (山水格局) :

Pay attention to the shape of the mountains and the direction of the rivers around the cemetery.The ideal cemetery should be located with its back to the mountains and its face to the water, surrounded by mountains and water, forming a pattern that can store wind and gather energy.

Direction and orientation (朝向与坐向) :

Choose a suitable orientation so that the tomb can fully absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.At the same time, the orientation of the tomb should be considered to achieve the best feng shui effect.

Mingtang (明堂) :

There should be a spacious hall in front of the cemetery, which symbolizes a bright future and broad prospects for the family's development.

Water outlet (水口):

Inspect the water outlet and choose a place that can collect the energy and prevent it from escaping.

Scope and extent of impact

Blood relationship : The feng shui of a grave mainly affects the direct descendants who inherit the blood relationship.The closer the blood relationship, the greater the impact.

Intergenerational impact : It is generally believed that the influence of ancestral tomb feng shui on future generations will show a pyramid-like attenuation pattern, with the greatest impact on children, smaller impact on the next generation, and even smaller impact on the next generation. It is generally believed that the impact is most significant within three generations.

The impact of different children : The specific orientation or environment of a grave may have different effects on different children. For example, some graves may bring good luck to daughters, while others may bring good luck to sons.

What does “the response to the qi brings blessings to people by ghosts” mean?

什么是“气感而应，鬼福及人”？

In his famous treatise "The Book of Burial," "Qi Gan Chapter," (“气感篇”) by Guo Pu (郭璞), a master of Feng Shui from the Jin Dynasty, said: "Burial is about harnessing the vital energy. The five elements flow through the earth, giving rise to all things. Humans receive their bodies from their parents, their skeletons receive qi, and their remains are protected. The classics say: When qi responds, the blessings of ghosts extend to humans. This is why the Tongshan Mountain collapses in the west and the Lingzhong bell responds in the east; trees bloom in spring and chestnuts sprout indoors. The bones of hills and ridges are where the qi of the branches of mountains and hills follows. The classics say: The earth shapes and qi flows, and things are born from it. The living are the gathering of qi, which condenses into bones, and only remains after death. Therefore, burial is a method of returning qi to the bones, to protect the living."

The general meaning of the above passage is this: human bones are formed from the condensation of qi. After death, the spirit remains immortal, gathered in the grave and nourished by the breath of the earth, bringing life to the dry bones. Although the deceased and the living, who are related by blood, have passed through different paths in life and death, family information remains connected. Ancestors and descendants share the same qi, and the same qi attracts each other, allowing emotion and qi to resonate with each other. When dry bones are revitalized, blessings flow to the living. This is what is known as "qi responds, and the blessings of ghosts extend to humans."

In fact, this view that the breath of ancestors and descendants can resonate with each other, and thus the burial place of ancestors affects the fortune and misfortune of descendants, is also a manifestation of the ancient theory of "correspondence between heaven and man".

In traditional Chinese beliefs and Feng Shui theory, the Feng Shui of a grave is believed to affect the fortune and health of future generations.

Potential Consequences of Bad Feng Shui

Health Problems :For example, a grave that is penetrated by tree roots may cause illness to descendants, and a blocked drainage hole may cause ear or eye diseases.

Career Wealth : Bad grave feng shui may lead to career failure and wealth decline for future generations.

Family disasters : If an inappropriate cemetery is chosen, it may cause misfortune to future generations and disaster to the family.

Graveyard feng shui, known as Yin House Feng Shui, is the practice of selecting and orienting burial sites to bring prosperity, health, and good fortune to living descendants. Unlike Yang House Feng Shui for homes, Yin House Feng Shui is largely permanent, making the initial site selection critically important

A qualified feng shui master typically analyzes the site, considering both the natural surroundings and the alignment of the tomb to ensure a harmonious flow of energy (Qi).

Ideal landscape features

The most auspicious burial sites are surrounded by natural features that offer protection and support. This arrangement is based on the "Four Emblems" or "Four Celestial Animals" principles.

Black Tortoise (Rear): A protective, elevated area, such as a large mountain or a hill with many trees, should be located behind the grave.

Green Dragon (Left) and White Tiger (Right): Smaller, protective hills or land formations should be on the sides of the plot, embracing the burial site.

Red Phoenix (Front): A large, open space known as the "Bright Hall" should lie in front of the grave. The presence of calm water here can signify wealth and prosperity.

Important considerations for selecting a plot

Sunlight: Choose a plot with plenty of sunlight. A dark or gloomy spot can lead to sadness and misfortune for descendants.

Orientation: The grave should generally face south or east to align with the sun and welcome positive energy. A feng shui master calculates the exact, most beneficial angle.

Elevation and Terrain: Avoid burial sites on mountaintops or ridges, which can cause harsh or difficult lives for descendants.

Ensure the terrain is stable, with rich soil. Rocky or cracked ground, sometimes called "sick mountains," should be avoided

Water flow: Still or gently flowing water in front of the plot is considered very lucky.

Avoid water flowing directly through or away from the site, as this can signify illness or loss of fortune for the family.

Flora and fauna: Avoid placing graves too close to trees, as the roots can disturb the coffin and disrupt the flow of energy.

Plant green grass on top of the grave to promote a positive flow of Qi.

Grave maintenance and design

Concave vs. convex soil: The soil on the grave should remain convex, or mounded. A concave depression can cause water to pool, which is believed to cause health problems for descendants.

Arrangement: Graves are ideally arranged in arcs rather than straight rows to encourage a more harmonious energy flow.

Avoid interference: Never allow the cemetery gates to pass directly over a grave, as this is considered bad luck.

Burials, cremation, and ashes

Full body burial: Traditional Yin House Feng Shui was primarily designed for full body burials, as the complete skeleton and its DNA are believed to transmit energy to descendants.

Cremation: Cremation is not traditionally encouraged in feng shui because the Qi is thought to be dispersed and lost. However, burying or interring the cremated remains can still help descendants to a lesser degree if a skilled master is consulted.

In short, in traditional feng shui concepts, the "aura" of the ancestral tomb has a vital impact on the lifeblood of future generations, so it is extremely important to select or repair the feng shui of the ancestral tomb.

A Hierarchy of Feng Shui Influence: Why Your Ancestors' Graves Are More Important Than Your Home & Feng Shui Display Items

The Myth of Modern Feng Shui: What Western Guides Get Wrong ...

Everytime when You read, hear or discuss about Feng Shui among the Westerners and from Western Medias and Feng Shui Books & Magazines, You often notice that they are focusing on placing and displaying "Feng Shui Items".

Actually placing "display items" as Feng Shui is Fake Feng Shui, which is last thing to do when Chinese Folks apply "Feng Shui" into their life.

The Foundation of Fortune: The Forgotten Art of Ancestral Feng Shui ...

The so-called Yin house is the place where the coffins of ancestors are buried, that is, the tomb. It is the place where ancestors can rest in peace, so it is called a Yin house.

Chinese traditions have always placed great emphasis on respecting ancestors and emphasizing the concept of harmony between man and nature. Therefore, the ancients believed that finding a good resting place for ancestors would surely bring good fortune and prosperity to future generations. This is how the unique theoretical system of Feng Shui gradually took shape.

Fengshui for Yin residences is much more complicated than that for Yang residences. Finding dragon points , and the coordination of dragon, mountain, and water all fall under the scope of Fengshui for Yin residences.

The 1st step Chinese Folks look into Feng Shui is choosing proper Ancestor Burial Grounds. If not done, properly, it affect the same blood immediate descendants.

Ancestral graves hold foundational importance in Feng Shui. The orientation, location, and energy of burial sites can affect descendants' fortune, health, and harmony for generations. Before adjusting home remedies, wise practitioners honor lineage by ensuring the Feng Shui of the ancestors is correctly aligned.

It is a theory in traditional Chinese culture that studies the location and layout of tombs. It aims to protect future generations and promote family prosperity through reasonable planning of the cemetery environment.

The core of feng shui for tombs lies in "a true dragon, a correct cave, and surrounded by sand and water." It emphasizes the coordination and unity of factors such as the direction of the dragon vein, the selection of cave sites, the surrounding mountains and water, and the orientation, and pursues the four-symbol layout of "Suzaku in front, Xuanwu behind, Azure Dragon on the left, and White Tiger on the right."

The impact of Yin Feng Shui on future generations:

Traditional belief holds that the quality of a burial site's feng shui directly impacts the fate of future generations, encompassing the family's prosperity and decline, the descendants' fortunes and misfortunes, their health, and their careers. Therefore, choosing an ideal burial site is considered the greatest blessing and hope for future generations.

It's important to note that as a cultural phenomenon, feng shui for graves is complex in both theory and practice, requiring the guidance and investigation of a professional feng shui master.

For more detailed explanation on Yin House Feng Shui , go to: How does Yin (Graveyard / Tomb) Feng Shui affect future generations?

From Yin House to Home Harmony...

The 2nd Step is the immediate outside environment where the house (your home) is located, which not every person has the luxury to do so. Usually only the super rich who can choose to own the land space (after studying the outdoor environment according to Classical Feng Shui) , then build the house at the selected exact spot and direction according to proper Classical Feng Shui. Same goes to the Super Rich Chinese Business Magnates who buy the whole land for their business buildings.

After finding the exact spot to build the house and the proper direction facing, then it is to work on the internal design of own home by applying Classical Feng Shui Studies.

Most ordinally folks can only buy the house which are already built or waiting to be built by the government, which are not according to Classical Feng Shui Principles. You don't have the power to choose the exact spot and direction of Your house to Your liking. Now, You know why You lose out to the Rich Folks, even in Feng Shui. You only can apply Feng Shui on what is given to You, which might not even a good Feng Shui Spot to begin with.

Feng Shui Isn't What You Think: Why Your Lucky Cat Doesn't Matter...

It is only the last part, which is only for Chinese Folks to ownself feel good, then put "display items" , not for Feng Shui but for own culture and feeling good. This is the part of "Fake Feng Shui" that are selling well to the Westerners, end up making their houses look like Chinese Restaurants and the Chinese Culture Display Items don't even resonate within their heart, mind and soul.

"Display Items" is not Feng Shui but it can be hexed to destroy Good Feng Shui...

Many Westerners don't know about this, even the Modern Days Chinese Folks ... It is only when "Display Items" that are blessed by Taoist Sorcery Master can the "Display Items" work their Spiritual Power. Like wise, Some "Display Items" or Hidden Objects can be hexed with black magic ritual to destroy good Feng Shui, or to seek revenge on people.

Once again, placing "display items" as Feng Shui is fake Feng Shui, which is last thing to do when Chinese Folks do for "Feng Shui".

Take Note: Feng Shui Audit for the Dead (Yin House) is different from Feng Shui Audit for the living people (Yang House).

The Luo-Pan and the Land: Unlocking the Secrets of Authentic Feng Shui...

To learn proper Classical Feng Shui is to study the Land Forms and also understand the Rings on Proper Feng Shui Luo-Pan , especially the 3 rings of Sky Plate Ring (Tian Pan | 天盘), Human Plate Ring (Ren Pan | 人盘) and Ground Plate Ring (Di Pan | 地盘).

The Three Important Plates of Destiny In The Luo Pan: A Study in True Classical Feng Shui...

The Luo Pan (罗盘) is a tool used for Feng Shui surveys. Its core function is to determine orientation and analyze the environment through three layers: the earth plate, the sky plate, and the human plate. The earth plate is used to determine the direction of the dragon, the sky plate is used to measure incoming and outgoing water, and the human plate is used to “adjust the sand”. These three plates are based on the earth plate, with the sky plate offset by 7.5 degrees clockwise and the human plate offset by 7.5 degrees counterclockwise.

These 3 plates (layers) - the earth plate, the sky plate, and the human plate, are the 3 most important rings in Feng Shui Luo Pan. Based on the eight trigrams, they are divided into 24 mountains (each occupying 15 degrees), totaling 360 degrees.

Tian Pan (天盘) - Heaven Plate:

Rotate 7.5 degrees clockwise based on the base of the chassis.
Mainly used to measure the direction of incoming and outgoing water.

Di Pan (地盘) - Earth Plate :

It is primarily used for determining the orientation of a house and determining the direction of mountain ranges.

The 24 mountains are composed of the 12 Earthly Branches, the 8 Heavenly Stems, and the Four Dimensions.

Ren Pan (人盘) - Human Plate :

Rotate 7.5 degrees counterclockwise based on the base of the chassis.
Mainly used for analyzing the surrounding mountains (sand shifting).

Functional differentiation of the 3 plates:

Eartn Plate: Based on the geomagnetic North Pole (true north), it focuses on actual direction measurement.‌

‌Human Plate‌ : Adjusts the five elements by rotating, and is used to consider the relationship between the sand body and the orientation when eliminating sand.‌

‌Sky Plate‌ : Based on the sky leaning to the southwest, it focuses on judging the good or bad luck of water flow or roads.‌

This design not only conforms to the principles of the mutual generation and restraint of yin and yang and the five elements in feng shui, but also achieves functional differentiation through rotation at different angles, reflecting the unique system of traditional geomancy.

Traditional Feng Shui compasses usually have 18 layers, but the number of layers in Luo Pan of different uses and schools may vary from 5 to 52.

Commercially available compasses are generally divided into three types according to their styles: the Sanhe compass based on the Five Elements, the Sanyuan compass based on the Eight Trigrams, and the comprehensive compass, which combines the advantages of both.

If You ever want to become a Proper Classical Feng Shui Practitioner or Master, the very 1st step is to learn , understand and be proficient in the application of Feng Shui Luo Pan.

Winning The Lottery doesn't need to depend on Feng Shui...

Lastly, if Striking Lottery is what You wish for Feng Shui, then You don't need to touch Feng Shui which is too slow, You should seek help from Chinese Deities and Ghosts through Rituals & Talismans.

Feng shui of a house for the living person（Yang Feng Shui） has a direct impact on the quality of life and fortune of the residents . Good house feng shui can make the residents live comfortably, have a smooth career and good fortune.

Taoist Philosophy Wisdom: Deep Understanding and Diverse Applications of Military Strategy

The core idea of Taoism, a philosophical system with a long history, can be condensed into four words: 兵道伐谋 (Bīng Dào Fá Móu) - Military, Tao, Attack & Strategy. - "The Tao of War Strategy". These four words are not only a wonderful summary of Taoist wisdom, but also reflect its unique way of dealing with the world.

In the complicated life, we often encounter various situations and characters. In the face of provocations from others, we should not endure silently, but make the other party aware of the consequences of their actions. This is not out of a narrow-minded revenge mentality, but to establish personal principles and boundaries, and warn others not to invade at will. Similarly, when others fail to live up to our expectations, we also have the responsibility to make them realize their faults. This is not only a response to our efforts, but also an important means to prompt the other party to reflect on their own behavior. When others show us kindness, we should give back with gratitude, so that this kindness can be cherished and rewarded as it should be, so as to maintain good interpersonal relationships.

"I have no form, but I have all forms." This sentence deeply explains our changeable personality in different situations. We are not static individuals, but will make corresponding adjustments according to the reactions and attitudes of the outside world. In the face of evil deeds, we can fight back and make the evildoers realize their mistakes and then become kind; in the face of good deeds, we should give back with kindness, follow the principle of reciprocity, and jointly create a harmonious and beautiful social environment.

Taoism, magic, and tools are means to achieve goals, but they should ultimately return to the state of inaction. Inaction does not mean doing nothing, but emphasizes following nature and not doing it deliberately. When using these means, we must clearly realize that they are only bridges to the goal, not the end. Therefore, we should always maintain inner peace and indifference, not be tempted by fame and fortune, and face everything in the world with a detached mentality.

The Tao Te Ching states: "There is a thing that is mixed and formed before the heaven and the earth. It is silent and lonely, independent and unchanging, and it goes around without end. It can be the mother of the world. I do not know its name, but I call it Tao." This passage deeply reveals the nature and status of Tao. As the root and essence of all things in the universe, Tao is a mysterious force that transcends human cognition. Although it is invisible and formless, it is everywhere and silently controls the development and changes of all things in the world. In Taoist thought, Tao is regarded as the highest realm and the highest criterion for people's behavior.

Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. "This sentence reveals that Tao is the origin of all things, while law, technique and tool are specific methods and tools derived under the guidance of Tao. Among them, law represents principles and laws, which are the specific manifestations of Tao; technique is the skills and methods to achieve goals; tool is the tool and carrier necessary for the implementation of technique.

Taking the historical example, Laozi rode a green bull out of Hangu Pass and left behind the 5,000-word "Tao Te Ching", which is a specific practice of the spread of Taoist thought. In this process, Tao is a guide, technique is expressed as writing, and tool includes writing tools such as bamboo slips.

The Taoist military strategy is far from an ordinary strategy, and it contains profound life philosophy and life wisdom. It tells us that in a complex world, we should always stay sober and calm, skillfully use wisdom and strategy, and at the same time not forget kindness and tolerance. May we deeply understand the essence of Taoism and welcome the challenges and good opportunities of life with a more calm and relaxed attitude.

The Origin & Historical Evolution Of Nezha (哪吒)

The Origin of Nezha (哪吒) came from the "Buddha's Most Secret Nāraṇa Sutra". It is a Buddhist document translated by Faxian in the Song Dynasty. As the name suggests, this book is a sutra that tells the story and setting of Nāraṇa (Nezha), the third prince of Vaiśravaṇa . 《佛说最上秘密那拏天经》是一本宋代时期的佛教典籍，作者是法贤，记载了佛教护法神“那拏天”的事迹。

The historical evolution of Nezha has gone through a process of multicultural integration and localized reconstruction, and its image has shown significant differences in different historical stages:

Variants of the Name: The name Nezha (哪吒) evolved through variants in Chinese translations of Tantric Buddhist texts, starting with "Naluojiupoluo" (那羅鳩婆羅), then "Naluojubaluo" (捺羅俱跋羅), "Nazhajuwaluo" (那吒矩韈囉), and finally "Nazha" (那吒), which then became Nezha (哪吒) with the addition of the "mouth radical" (口).

Nezha's Father:

Nalakūvara's father, Kubera, was absorbed into the Buddhist pantheon as the Heavenly King Vaiśravaṇa, and Vaisravana's connection to the historical Tang Dynasty general Li Jing explains the name and position of Nezha's father, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing.

1. Mythological Origin: The Fusion of Buddhism and Taoism

The Buddhism of Nezha
can be traced back to the ancient Indian Buddhist guardian deity "Nazha" (Sanskrit: Nalakuvara), the third son of the Northern God of Wealth (Vaiśravaṇa). The Tang Dynasty document "Vaiśravaṇa Rituals" records his "three heads and six arms" image and his function of protecting Buddhism. There are records of "returning bones to father and flesh to mother" in Buddhist stories, which reflects the contradiction with the original family .
佛教原型‌
哪吒最早可追溯至古印度佛教护法神“那吒”（梵语Nalakuvara），为北方多闻天王（毗沙门天）第三子，唐代文献《毗沙门仪轨》记载其“三头六臂”形象及护持佛法的职能‌。佛教故事中已有“析骨还父、析肉还母”的记载，体现其与原生家庭的矛盾‌

Taoism Absorption and Localization Song Dynasty
Taoism incorporated Nezha into the system of gods and immortals, and made him the "Marshal of the Central Altar" under the Jade Emperor. He also formed a father-son relationship with Li Jing, the Heavenly King of the Pagoda, and derived Taoist mythological elements such as "the reincarnation of Lingzhuzi" and "the incarnation of the lotus".
The Yuan Dynasty's "Three Religions and Their Gods" further integrated Buddhist and Taoist elements, clarifying his identities as "Lingzhuzi's reincarnation" and "Li Jing's third son", laying the foundation for later narratives.
宋代道教将哪吒纳入神仙体系，成为玉帝座下的“中坛元帅”，并与托塔天王李靖形成父子关系，衍生出“灵珠子转世”“莲花化身”等道教神话元素‌. 元代《三教源流搜神大全》进一步整合佛道元素，明确其“灵珠子投胎”“李靖第三子”等身份，奠定后世叙事基础‌.

2. Stereotypes and Dissemination in Classical Literature

‌Key Reconstruction of Ming Dynasty ‌"Investiture of the Gods" portrays Nezha as the reincarnation of the Taoist Lingzhuzi, strengthens his iconic plots such as "making trouble in the sea and killing the dragon" and "returning his bones to his father", and gives him magical weapons such as "Wind Fire Wheel" and "Fire Spear"
明代小说的关键重构‌
《封神演义》将哪吒塑造为道教灵珠子转世的战神，强化其“闹海杀龙”“剔骨还父”等标志性情节，并赋予“风火轮”“火尖枪”等法器‌.
"Journey to the West" continues the Taoist guardian deity's position as a general of heaven who participates in subduing demons.
《西游记》则延续其道教护法神定位，作为天庭战将参与降妖‌.
‌Image feature evolution‌
- ‌Three Heads and Six Arms‌ : The image of "Three Heads and Six Arms" in Buddhist scriptures has been preserved and has become a symbol of fighting form‌.
- ‌Lotus Incarnation‌ : Taoism gives him the setting of reshaping his body with a lotus after death, reflecting his divine nature that transcends the mortal world‌.
- ‌Father-son conflict‌ : From the Buddhist "not worshipping the father" to the Taoist "attempted patricide", reflecting the mythological expression of ethical conflicts‌.

IV. Historical Periodization and Core Characteristics

Period	Core Features	Representative literature/carrier
Tang Dynasty	Buddhist guardian deity with three heads and six arms	The Ritual of Vaisravana 《毗沙门仪轨》‌
Song and Yuan Dynasties	Taoist teachings, father-son relationship established	"The Complete Collection of Gods from the Three Religions" 《三教源流搜神大全》‌
Ming Dynasty	Literary stereotypes, the reincarnation of Lingzhuzi and the plot of the sea disturbance	Investiture of the Gods, Journey to the West 《封神演义》《西游记》‌
Modern and Contemporary	Film and television reconstruction, symbolization of rebellious spirit	Nezha 1 - "Birth of the demon child" 《哪吒之魔童降世》 Nezha 2 - The demon child churns the sea 《哪吒之魔童闹海》

Nezha's history is essentially the product of the localization of foreign mythology and the resonance of the spirit of the times. Its evolution trajectory reflects the tolerance and creativity of Chinese culture towards diverse beliefs.
