[PureInsight.org] In the 1990s, two large-scale engineering projects were launched in mainland China, namely the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the Three Gorges Project, both of which are considered as grand projects on a global level. From a Feng Shui perspective, these two projects are precisely actions that disrupt the harmony between heaven and earth and the stability of the universe.
The South-to-North Water Diversion project is divided into three lines: the eastern, central, and western lines, which divert water from the lower, middle, and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, respectively. The Eastern Route starts from Jiangdu in Yangzhou, downstream of the Yangtze River, where water is diverted through the Grand Canal and other parallel waterways, and lifted step by step until it reaches the north. It then connects to the Hongze Lake, Luoma Lake, Nansi Lake, and Dongping Lake for water storage and regulation. After leaving Dongping Lake, the water is divided into two routes. One route heads north through a tunnel under the Yellow River and flows through Shandong and Hebei provinces to Tianjin, with a total length of 1,156 kilometers. The other route heads east, with water being pumped from Jinan to Yantai and Weihai, with a total length of 701 kilometers.
The central route starts from the Danjiangkou Reservoir, a tributary of the Han River on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and crosses the four major river basins of the Yangtze River, Huai River, Yellow River, and Hai River, finally reaching Beijing and Tianjin with basic self-flow capability. The total length of the water diversion mainline is 1,267 kilometers. As of December 4, 2009, the downstream line of the Nanjing Hydraulic Tunnel of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project's central route entered a 600-meter-wide main channel of the Yellow River, marking the critical stage of the central route's tunneling under the Yellow River. The tunneling under the Yellow River is a key and controlling project for the central route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, with large investment, high construction difficulty, and a significant size of interchange. It is also a grand project in human history for crossing major rivers. Its task is to transport water from the central route on the south bank of the Yellow River to the north bank of the Yellow River and supply water to areas north of the Yellow River.
The West Route Project involves building dams and reservoirs on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, including the Tongtian River, the Yalong River and the Dadu River, and digging a water diversion tunnel through the Bayan Har Mountains, the watershed between the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, to transfer water from the Yangtze River to the upper reaches of the Yellow River and supplement its water resources.
Since modern times, the ecological environment in the north has deteriorated, and many places have started desertification. Sandstorms also occur frequently, and water is becoming increasingly scarce. Therefore, the source of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is due to the water shortage in the north. Some people have thought that since the south has more water and the north has less water, why not transfer some water from the south to the north to solve the problem of water scarcity in the north?
We believe that this kind of thinking is fundamentally wrong, and those who propose such ideas are simply ignorant and lacking in knowledge. Everyone knows that to solve a problem, one must first understand the root cause of the problem and then apply the appropriate solution. Simply addressing the problem through technological means without addressing its fundamental causes is not a viable solution. It is important to use techniques and methods to address the root causes of the problem.
As we have mentioned earlier, the word "道术" (dào shù) places emphasis on the "道" (dào) or the "way," followed by "术" (shù) or "technique." Therefore, when dealing with any problem, we must first consider the "way," or the fundamental principles, and solve the root problem, and then use "techniques" to address surface phenomena. This is the "right way."
If we look at historical records, we can see that in ancient times, such as the Tang Dynasty and even later in the Qing Dynasty, the northern regions were full of picturesque scenery, with beautiful mountains, clear waters, and a good ecological environment. So why is the situation different now? What is the root cause of the problem?
We believe that the three spaces of heaven, earth, and humanity are closely related and harmoniously coordinated, just like the three levels of a spinning wheel. According to ancient theories, they are "heaven, earth, and humanity as one." The three spaces are integrated, and we can use a spinning wheel to describe this integration, with the three spaces as the three levels of the wheel. The key to maintaining this coordinated operation is morality, which is like the driving force of the spinning wheel. If everyone values morality, then naturally heaven, earth, and humanity will be in harmony, and the three spaces will operate with full vitality. However, if people's moral standards decline, then the coordinated operation of the three spaces will be like a machine that has not been lubricated for a long time, difficult to turn, and with insufficient power.
Therefore, the root cause of the water shortage in the north today is the moral problem of the Chinese people. For example, let's consider the regime, which is supposed to be a service organization for the people, but now it monopolizes resources, snatches profits from the people, and squeezes the living space of the ordinary citizens. Meanwhile, Chinese Communist Party officials are corrupt and greedy, and they compete for power and profit. In such an environment, every unit in mainland China is full of intrigue and selfishness among individuals, which is widely recognized but seems to be unsolvable.
Therefore, what needs to be done now is not to use technological means to address environmental problems, but to focus on solving the problem of human nature and morality. What methods can make people be kind-hearted and improve their moral standards? We should adopt and promote these methods, and then use "techniques" (technological means can also be broadly classified as a type of technique). Then, let's take a look at what the land of China will be like!
Some may argue that if you say the decline in people's morality has caused water shortage in the North, then both the North and the South should be experiencing water shortage. However, the South is not experiencing water shortage, so are you wrong? In fact, the problems caused by the decline in morality can manifest in various forms. For example, in the North, it manifests as water shortage, sandstorms, and so on, while in the South, it manifests as other forms, such as water pollution and freezing, etc. Moreover, according to the rate of decline in morality, if it continues for a long time, the South will also experience water shortage and drought.
From the perspective of geography and Feng Shui, the land of China is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, with the patterns of mountains and rivers flowing from west to east. When Yu the Great controlled the flood, he also followed this geographical pattern and adopted methods of dredging and diversion to solve the problem of the great flood that had plagued the people of his time.
The establishment of the geographic map is also the arrangement of all the spirits of nature. Throughout history, people have known that there are city gods in every corner of China, and every mountain has its own mountain gods and earth gods. In fact, there are also higher-level gods in many places, all of whom are placed according to this geographic map, forming a huge system. To put it in a way that people can understand but not entirely accurate, mountains or cave dwellings are like homes of different advanced life forms. Now you have forcibly overturned someone else's home. Imagine what these higher-level life forms would think?
Currently, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project involves tunneling and excavating through mountains from the south to the north, disrupting the natural geographical flow from west to east. This not only violates the natural order but also disrupts the placement of the "gods". It is going against the will of heaven and earth and the outcome is clear for all to see.
Similar to the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, this type of engineering not only destroys nature, but also affects the higher spiritual realm. The more critical point is that it plays a role in severing the roots of the Chinese nation, which could lead to the extinction of the entire Chinese nation. The Chinese nation has the saying "hundred surnames," such as Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, and Wang. However, in the Xia, Shang, Zhou, and Warring States periods, we know that many people had strange names that were not included in the "hundred surnames." So why did this situation arise later?
From the perspective of geography and Feng Shui, we know that there were Taoist practitioners who, in order to ensure the prosperity and growth of the Chinese nation, laid out the "hundred surnames array" on the land of China, which is the origin of the various surnames of the Chinese nation. It is thanks to this arrangement that the families and descendants of these surnames were able to flourish and multiply. Throughout Chinese history, there have been many disasters that have threatened the survival of the Chinese nation, but the nation has managed to survive and thrive because of its roots and the continuing growth of its population, which can be attributed in part to the "hundred surnames array" of Feng Shui.
In Feng Shui, there is a saying that "mountains govern population and water govern wealth". Population refers to offspring and descendants. If the mountains that govern the offspring and descendants of the Chinese nation are disrupted, one can imagine the consequences that may arise.
Nowadays, with the South-to-North Water Transfer, China's dragon vein is cut off, the "hundred surnames array" of the Chinese nation is destroyed, and the roots of the Chinese people's survival and reproduction are endangered. If we, the Chinese nation, do not follow the right path, elevate our minds, we will ultimately face the fate of being uprooted and extinct. The best-case scenario may be like that of the Jewish people and the Gypsies, wandering the world and being oppressed, but still preserving some national characteristics, waiting for the opportunity to restore their nation. But the worst-case scenario may result in the complete extinction of the Chinese nation, like many other ethnic groups that have disappeared into the river of history. Today, China is plagued by many disasters, and in many of these tragedies, the death toll of children is particularly high, and some are even directly targeted at them. Isn't this a sign of being uprooted? Don't think that this is alarmist talk. You should know that various signs in human history are often manifested in small details, and true omens are not always recognized at the time.
Let's talk about the Three Gorges Dam project. The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River stretch from Fengjie County in Chongqing Municipality in the west to Yichang City in Hubei Province in the east, covering a total distance of 192 kilometers. There are three main gorges from west to east: Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge, and Xiling Gorge, which give the Three Gorges their name. The high mountains on both sides of the Three Gorges stand opposite each other, with steep cliffs and peaks generally towering 1000-1500 meters above the river surface. At its narrowest point, the river is less than 100 meters wide.
After the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, a huge reservoir spanning 600 kilometers will be formed, which is rare in the world. The Three Gorges Dam adopts staged impoundment. After the Yangtze River was diverted on November 8, 1997, the water level rose by 10-75 meters. After the completion of the second phase of the project in June 2003, the water level rose to 135 meters, submerging Zhangfei Temple in the Three Gorges scenic area. In 2006, the water level of the Yangtze River rose to 156 meters, submerging Qu Yuan Temple. After the completion of the entire Three Gorges project in 2009, the water level rose to 175 meters.
In the physical space we inhabit, this is the situation, but in another time and space, it is not the case. Along the Yangtze River, there are numerous acupoints, and many lives depend on them for survival. However, the Three Gorges Project has caused over 100 million underground caves to be flooded, and over 100 million earth spirits to be forced to leave their long-term habitats. In today's terms, they have been forcibly evicted and left homeless.
The universe also has laws. According to the concepts in ancient Chinese culture, there are also regulations in heaven. It's not that there will be no retribution, but the time has not come yet. Before the time arrives, there is an opportunity to make active corrections.
The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and the 2009 Southwest drought, are they not related to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam? Humans are obsessed with the world and ignore the warning of the divine!
