How to Utilize Mr. Joseph Yu’s Calabash Methodology – Part 1

Song of Flying Stars (飛星賦)

How to Utilize Mr. Joseph Yu’s Calabash Methodology – Part 1

On Oct 23, 2012, Mr. Joseph Yu wrote an article about Calabash, he said,“One such object that represents the Dui trigram is the dried calabash with an open mouth. The dried fruit has a golden yellow color that represents metal.”

He attempts to cover his prior mistake by defending that 7 Dui represents Calabash.

Long time ago, I already explained the reasons that Dui cannot represent Calabash:

http://www.facebook.com/notes/chung-i ... ng-shui/10150147051923787

Mr. Joseph Yu’s article on Oct 23, 2012 totally reflected his ignorance in Ancient Feng Shui book. He said,
“From the Song of Flying Stars (飛星賦):

Seven with a strange calabash form,
Medical and divining professions will bring prosperity.

七有葫蘆之異,
醫卜興家

The flying star 7 originates from the Dui trigram of the Ba Gua. Dui in the Xian Tian Ba Gua and Xun in the Hou Tian Ba Gua occupy the same position. Dui is something attached to a vine until severed eventually. This comes from Shuo Gua Zhuan 説卦傳: ...爲附决.

What the Song of Flying Stars says is that if the mountain star 7 is supported by a calabash shaped mountain, then the people have the potential of becoming a famous medical doctor or a diviner. On the other hand, if the water star 7 is supported by calabash shaped water, then the people can practice medicine or metaphysics to have success.”



Resized Image

Based on his explanation, Mr. Joseph Yu clearly assumes that “7 Dui is Calabash” because he tries to use the sentence: “七有葫蘆之異,醫卜興家” to confuse the people believed that Dui is Calabash and it is coming from this sentence.

If you read his translation by attention, you will never find any proof of “7 or Dui is Calabash.”

“Seven with a strange calabash form, Medical and divining professions will bring prosperity.”

But Joseph Yu added another paragraphs included with Xian Tian, Hou Tian Ba Gua and Shuo Gua Zhuan which shows that he has the intention to mislead some careless readers.

The flying star 7 originates from the Dui trigram of the Ba Gua. Dui in the Xian Tian Ba Gua and Xun in the Hou Tian Ba Gua occupy the same position. Dui is something attached to a vine until severed eventually. This comes from Shuo Gua Zhuan 説卦傳: ...爲附决.

What the Song of Flying Stars says is that if the mountain star 7 is supported by a calabash shaped mountain, then the people have the potential of becoming a famous medical doctor or a diviner. On the other hand, if the water star 7 is supported by calabash shaped water, then the people can practice medicine or metaphysics to have success.”



Now you should understand why he did not answer my question about Calabash directly in Facebook.

Resized Image

His statement - “Understanding the Yijing is fundamental to the practice of Feng Shui. Do not be misled by big mouths claiming to have learned from a recognized lineage without the basic understanding of Yi” - completely reflects his own situation.
