The theory and practice of Xuan Kong Da Gua Feng Shui and Xuan Kong Da Gua Date Selections.

In China there were six Xuan Kong schools during the late Qing and early Republic era but nowadays only two Xuan Kong schools survived, one is the more popular and more well-known Xuan Kong Feixing (Flying Stars) School and the other is the less well-known and less popular Xuan Kong Da Gua (XKDG) system.

Da Gua stands for the 64 Hexagrams and the core of this system is based not on flying the stars but on using the Early Heaven Trigrams with the Luoshu numbers as applied to the Hexagrams to assess the Ji-Xiong (auspicious and harmfulness) of a situation, using the Coming Dragon, the Going Water, the Sitting and the Facing of a site as references.

In this advanced course we not only will teach you the basics of XKDG Feng Shui system but also the XKDG Date Selection methods to find an auspicious date for any undertakings.

In XKDG and XKDG Date Selections, each of the 64 Hexagrams has an “Element Number” and “Period Number”. You will find them on the rings of our San Yuan Bazhai Luopan compass, which you will get a chance to purchase at a discounted price in the workshop. These rings are very important and are the “keys” to unlock the secrets XKDG Feng Shui and XKDG Date Selections.

It is an unique chance for you to cover two important techniques in one Advance Course, but you will need to have a basic knowledge of how to recognize the Chinese characters for the 10 Heavenly Stems and the 12 Earthly Branches, as well as some of the fundamental concepts used in Feng Shui, like the Hetu, the Luoshu, Early and Later Heaven Trigrams and the construction of the 64 Hexagrams.

Before coming to his advanced course, you are required to learn to recognize and be able to write the 10 Heavenly Stems and the 12 Earthly Branches show below as well as the 8 Trigrams characters.
