Greatest Feng Shui Master?

Some people honour Yang Yun Song 楊筠松(Yang Yi 楊益, Yang Jiu Pin 楊救貧) as the greatest Feng Shui Master in history.

Why? - Just because they claim to be holding his lineage.

Some people honour Jiang Da Hong 蔣大鴻 as the Di Xian 地仙 (Fairy of the Land).

Why? - Just because they claim to be holding his lineage.

The same people may also honour Guo Pu 郭璞 as the Great Grand Master of Feng Shui and claim that the lineage was handed down from him to Yang Yun Song and after many generations to the person himself.

This is just a joke. Feng Shui is a living knowledge. We see further because we can stand on the shoulders of giants. Feng Shui masters who claim to hold lineage are like a dwarf peeping under the trousers of ancient masters.

A young man told me that the most regrettable thing he has done was to promote someone as the grand master. I pointed out (and he agreed) that without having done that, he would not have the foundation to promote himself today.
