The dragon that changes colour 蜥蜴 变色龙

The oldest book in the world is not any books related to any religions. It is I Ching or Yi Ching 易经 from China. It has existed 6000 years ago. The word Yi is actually from the Chinese word which is the dragon that changes colour 蜥蜴 变色龙. Nobody see dragon but ‘The dragon that change colour 蜥蜴 变色龙”, chameleon exist and it has existed before mankind. What it wants tells us? It wants to tell us that the world will not stop changing. This small dragon 变色龙 is the mini size of the 恐龙 dinosaur which existed million years during Jurassic before man kind existed on Earth. 

There is no dragon 龙 existed before on earth. Otherwise, we will to find the remain of the dragon 龙. Nevertheless, we have found the remains of the 恐龙 dinosaurs which have proven to be existed million years ago on Earth. Have we found the remains of dragons? Then, why we see dragon every where? We even see dragon on the flag of Bhutan. As the matter of fact, dragon represented the emperor in the Oriental countries. It is a symbol of power and auspicious.

If you analyse it thoroughly, Human made up an animal that can do everything which cannot be done by human. Dragon is the only animal that can go to either the sky, land and water 海陆空. Amphibious can only go either to water or up to the land, but they cannot fly. Whereas, birds can either fly in the sky or go to land, but they cannot swim. However, none of the animals can go to all  sky, land and water except dragon. 

If you look at dragon carefully. It is a combination of all animals. The body is snake's body. Its tail is like fish's tail. Its claws are assemble the eagle's claws. Its horns are like deer's horns. Its eyes are very fierce like tiger's eyes. 

In Chinese, we say "神龙见首不见尾". It means when a dragon fly in the sky, you cannot see or know where is the head and where is the tail. It means dragon CHANGES. The dragon changes.

Now, you can see in Malaysia, our current Prime Minister has changed. He realized that he has to change. He has changed from a dictator to a 93 year old Prime Minister who wish to correct the mistakes that he have done in past. Our future Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim has changed from a racist and extreme leader to a leader that say "no matter whether you are a Malay, Chinese, Indian or Iban, you are a Malaysian."

We are seeing a better Malaysia!

Our Earth does not stop revolving.

Our Earth does not stop revolving. When it revolves, the magnetic field changes from time to time hence the world changes.

It is in-line with Buddha teaching i.e. “Impermanence” as nothing is permanent in the world. Hence in feng shui we say all things changes and as the matter of fact, we can know and study the changes scientifically and mathematically.

The Chinese word is actually very special. It is the only language in the world that one word can explain many different things. One of the things the word “Yi” 易means in Changes. Many professors when they analyse this oldest book in the world, they call it “philosophy of Changes”. It is a book about changes.

If you know Chinese, the word Yi is formed by a Sun 日on top and Moon 月at the bottom. It means the world is formed by positive energy and negative energy. Yin is negative energy and yang is positive energy. Scientists today have proven the world is formed by positive energy and negative energy. How did men 6000 years ago know that the world is formed by positive energy and negative energy without any scientific instruments?

The biggest thing in the world is Universal. Universal is formed by positive energy and negative energy. Take our Solar System as example, the Sun has positive energy and the 9 planets have negative energy hence the 9 planets can revolve around the Sun.

The smallest is Atom and proton has positive energy and electron has negative energy.

八卦bagua, 8 trigrams

From Yi Ching, we have the 八卦bagua, 8 trigrams. The bagua is formed by a straight full line which is yang, positive energy and a broken line which is yin, negative energy. 6000 years ago there was no a proper developed language or written words. The Yi Ching was passed by the symbols of the straight full line which is yang, positive energy and a broken line which is yin, negative energy.

Everything in the world can be explained by positive energy and negative energy, or yin and yang. Yin negative is soft and yang positive is tough. The natural character is female is soft and the natural character or the build of men are always more touch and stronger than female. Human being is formed by positive energy and negative energy, or yin and yang. Body is yang, positive as you can see it but soul, spirit and thoughts are yin which you cannot see. The hardware of smart phone is yang but without electricity which is yin which you cannot see, it cannot work.

Our fingers tell us the secret of the Universal. In Yi Ching, Odd number is yang or positive and even numbers are yin, negative. Our hands have 5 fingers and the four fingers have 3 joints in them. In 4 we have 3. In even numbers we have odd numbers. In yin we have yang. In negative we have positive. Whereas, we have 1 thumb with 2 joints. In 1 we have 2. In odd number we have even number. In positive we have negative. It means the positive energy and negative energy have to work together and balance it up. Yang, positive also means bright and yin, negative energy means dark. Your house, there are places that need to be bright, which are the places to you need positive energy which are you are your halls, dining room, kitchen and study room. The place that needs to have negative energy is where you rest which is your bedroom. Can you switch on your bedroom brightly and sleep？ 

Our head is 1 (ODD, YANG, POSITIVE). Our legs are 2 (EVEN, YIN, NEGATIVE). IT MEANS BALANCING. Balance up the yin and the yang. 

Part 3 Buildings with lots of unblocked big glasses or windows is bad even it looks grand and arrogant. 有很多畅通无阻的大玻璃或落地窗的建筑物是不好的，即使看起来很壮观和傲慢。

Do not use too much black color.

别使用过多的黑色

Another common mistake of the modern interior design is a lot of black color is used. Black color is a very popular color nowadays as many say it look arrogant and classical. However, black is yin energy and balancing is key in everything especially in feng shui perspective. If too much of black color is used, then too much of yin energy will be created in a building.

现代室内设计的另一个常见错误是使用了许多黑色。如今许多人认为黑色是一种非常流行的颜色，

看起来很傲慢和古典。然而，黑色是阴的能量，平衡在风水的角度是非常关键的，

如果使用太多黑色，那么建筑物中就会产生太多的阴能量。

Also, black color is water element. Same concept applied as what mentioned above. If the occupants of the house’s bazi do not require water element then too much water is bad for them.

另外，黑色是水元素。如上所述应用相同的概念 如果该房屋的住户不需要水元素，

那么过多的水对他们不利。

Toilet is dirty and it has lot of dirty qi, hence it is bad to sleep facing the door of the toilet. It will affect the health of the occupants if they spend too much time facing the toilet， when they sleep on the bed that faces the toilet. Nowadays, there are even toilets that designed with glasses, which cannot block the dirty qi from hitting the persons that sleep there.

厕所很脏，脏气很多，因此面对厕所门睡觉不好， 这会影响到住户的健康，如果他们睡在面对厕所的床上，而且花太多时间面对厕所健康将会受影响。 现在，甚至还有用玻璃设计的厕所，这完全不能阻止肮脏的气体冲击到睡在那里的人。

Bad Toilet Design with glasses.

错的玻璃设计厕所

Last but not least, but in fact is the most important error made in the modern design is a lot windows like to be used in building design especially those buildings that face the beautiful sea or river. Balancing is key in everything especially in feng shui perspective. If too much or too less of anything is bad. For instance eating too less, you will not have enough energy to work but if you eat too full or too much then is bad for health either. If there is too much of yang energy, then you will not be able to rest well and may cause mental tension.

Do you realize mental failure is a serious illness nowadays especially in busy cities like New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai or Seoul? It is because people like to build tall buildings with lots of windows to see the unblocked scenery of beautiful sea or rivers. Therefore, no doubt, then too much of yang energy will be created in a building. Human being need to live balancing in between active and passive, which is work actively, and rest peacefully. If there is too much of yang energy then you will not be able to rest well. Thus, you will have problem like insomnia or mental failure if it continues persistently.

最后，实际上在现代设计中最重要的错误就是很多人喜欢使用落地窗在建筑设计，特别是那些面向美丽的大海或河流的建筑物。平衡是所有事情的关键，特别是在风水的角度。如果太多或太少的东西都不好。例如，吃得太少，你没有足够的能量去工作，但如果你吃得太饱或太多，那么对健康也不利。如果阳气太多，那么你将无法真正的休息，可能会导致精神紧张。

您是否意识到精神失常是当今城市特别是大城市如纽约，香港，东京，上海或首尔等繁忙城市居民的严重疾病？这是因为人们喜欢建造有很多落地窗的高层建筑，看到畅通无阻美丽的大海或河流。因此，毫无疑问，那么在建筑物中会产生太多的阳能量。人类需要在主动和被动之间保持平衡，这是积极工作和休息之间保持平衡。如果阳气太多，那么你将无法好好的休息。因此，如果这种情况持续不断，你会有失眠或精神衰竭等问题。

I have noticed coffee café was built with all glasses and when the sun shines into the building, it is so warm and uncomfortable and the owner of the café has to put up blind to block the Sun. It makes the customers cannot see the inside of the café and wonder what shop is that.

我注意到咖啡馆是使用镜子建造的，当太阳照射到建筑物时，它是那么的热和不舒服，咖啡馆的主人不得不放遮阳来挡住大太阳。这使得顾客无法看到咖啡馆的内部，并好奇那家商店是什么。

Too many glasses or windows are not suitable as building design in countries which is located in warm tropical countries like Malaysia and Singapore.
在位于马来西亚和新加坡等热带热带国家的国家，太多玻璃或窗户不适合作为建筑设计。

Buildings with lots of unblocked big glasses or windows is bad even it looks grand and arrogant.

有很多畅通无阻的大玻璃或落地窗的建筑物是不好的，即使看起来很壮观和傲慢。

Part 2: Beware of the exhaust hook fan on top the stove that have reflective surface. 小心炉子顶部的排气挂钩风扇具有反光表面。

It is bad to have mirror on the wardrobe that face the bed.

在面对床的衣柜上有镜子是不好的。

Some modern design wardrobes have
reflective surface and you can actually see yourself reflected on the wardrobe
when you sleep on the bed.


一些现代设计的衣柜具有反光表面，当你睡在床上时，你实际上可以看到自己在衣柜上反射。






Beware of the exhaust hook fan on top
the stove that have reflective surface.

小心炉子顶部的排气挂钩风扇具有反光表面。







Never put a mirror to face the stove
