Tianyu Jing — Southern School Verses

0) Positioning — what this page covers (and excludes)

Tianyu Jing is a Southern School verse manual that refines qualified forms with water–facing pairings on the 24 Mountains (二十四山). You’ll see core verse ideas, how to pick incoming/outgoing water (來水/去水) and set the water mouth (水口), and how to choose facing (向) inside permitted windows. Excludes rescuing bad terrain with degrees, décor “cures,” and time-school overlays as excuses. Form passes first (Zang Shu).

1) What Tianyu Jing actually does

• Locks water/facing combinations into permitted windows after the bowl qualifies.
• Prioritizes water law (水法): inflow that generates (生) the seat, outflow that does not overcome (克), and a guarded mouth.
• Turns verse into operational choices: this segment yes, that segment no.

It does not pick sites; it does not replace Qing Nang Jing pattern checks or Zang Shu landform proof.

2) Origins & transmission — what is safe to claim

Placed in the Southern School stream (江西派/楊公法). Compact verse manuals circulate and are commented through Song–Ming–Qing. Practical habit is consistent: qualify form → bind mouth → choose facing within verse windows → verify by season.

3) Relation to other texts (keep lanes clear)

• Zang Shu (葬書/葬书): physics of storage — pass/fail for bowls.
• Qing Nang Jing (青囊經/青囊经): pattern alignment once form passes.
• Tianyu Jing (天玉經/天玉经): verse rules for water–facing windows on 24M after qualification.
• Yang Zhai San Yao (陽宅三要/阳宅三要): residential essentials inside a qualified, window-compliant site.
• Xuan Kong (玄空/三元): time layering; never used to overrule failing form or illegal windows.

4) Core grammar you must command

• Dragon (龍/來龍): incoming spine; proves possibility, not permission.
• Sand (砂): side embrace; slows wind; raises comfort.
• Water (水): name the main water before micro-streams.
• Water mouth (水口): the gate; must be bounded/guarded (有節).
• Facing (向): chosen after containment; windowed by verse rules on 24M.
• Generate/Overcome (生/克): inflow generates the seat; outflow must not drain the core.

If these aren’t clear on site, don’t read verses — go fix the landform.

5) Verse doctrines — de-poetized for the field

• Generate first, then receive (先生後受): prefer inflow that generates the seat’s phase; facing collects, not leaks.
• Mouth with discipline (水口有節): bind/guard the mouth; uncontrolled mouths flush.
• Face to gather (向以收氣): pretty view is irrelevant if it leaks qi.
• Windowed segments only: 24M is a filter, not decoration — use permitted segments only.
• Main water decides: read dominant flow first; side ditches are secondary.

6) Field sequence — five steps (don’t improvise)

1. Qualify the bowl (Zang Shu): back/left/right shelter, bright hall (明堂), controllable mouth.
2. Name the main water: trace incoming (來水) and outgoing (去水) at the right scale.
3. Bind the mouth: physical/landscape control; avoid head-on knives and open gullets.
4. Pick windowed facing (向): choose 24M segments permitted by verse logic with this water pattern.
5. Season check: confirm stability in wet + dry seasons; if it flips, revise.

7) Tools you actually use here

• 24 Mountains (二十四山): micro-vector selection inside permitted windows; avoid flushing the seat line.
• San-He water method (三合局水法): inflow generating; outflow non-draining relative to the seat’s phase.
• Road-as-water: in towns, treat arterial roads like rivers; curb geometry = water mouth.
• Mouth guards: berms, hedges, walls, angle changes, parking geometry — use physical works.

8) Applications — work, relationships, customers

• Work: offices with quiet-breathing facings; logistics sites with angled exits and bounded mouths.
• Relationships: pick facings that collect privacy; keep bedrooms off draining segments.
• Customers: retail flow = gather → select → pay; design parking/paths as water that lingers.

9) Micro-cases (abstracted)

A) Estate entrance

Form good, mouth open. Action: add island + offset gate; shift facing to a windowed segment. Result: slower car flow, quieter forecourt.

B) Office lease

Two façades pass Zang Shu. Street water drains SW fast. Action: select SE window that collects; baffle SW knife. Result: lower HVAC spikes; better meeting comfort.

C) Strip retail

Center unit flushes; end unit loops micro-water. Action: take end unit; door on allowed sub-segment; widen bright hall with lay-by. Result: steadier footfall, fewer refund spikes.

10) Common traps — stop paying tuition

• Using 24M to rescue a cliff — degrees don’t fix wind scour.
• Reading side ditches as main water — start at the scale that moves people and money.
• Unbound mouths — if the gate is open, you are flushing.
• Seasonal blindness — spring pretty, winter knives; test both.
• Time overlays as excuses — don’t paste time schools over leaking bowls.

11) One-page checklist

• Bowl qualified (back/left/right, bright hall, mouth)?
• Main water identified (in/out) at correct scale?
• Mouth bounded/guarded (no head-on knives)?
• Facing chosen inside permitted window for this water pattern?
• Seat line not flushed by corridors/driveways?
• Wet + dry season checks logged?

Two strikes → walk.

12) Ethics — restraint and records

• Do not externalize risk to neighbors or ignore engineering.
• Modify mouths with real works; document changes; keep before/after evidence.
• For people and money, custody beats charm.

13) Closing

Tianyu Jing turns qualified bowls into workable windows. Bind the mouth, choose facing inside the allowed segments for your water pattern, and verify by season.
