The Origin of Geomancy Legends of Liu Ji

刘伯温是民间传说中上知天文下知地理的传奇式人物,但是其人历史上却是一名功勋卓著的官员,世人对刘伯温的种种灵异传说很大程度上是附会神化的结果。通过史料分析,我们发现风水神话对塑造刘伯温的神人形象发挥了重要作用,但也不是空穴来风,刘伯温成为风水大师背后有精通象纬和家学渊源的关系,本文试图通过厘清刘伯温其人与风水实践、风水著作之间的万千纠葛,指出隐藏在刘伯温道士形象和风水大师形象背后的是民众的审美心理诉求。

Liu Bowen is a folklore legend who knew everything especially astronomy and geography knowledge, but he was a meritorious official in history. All sorts of the legend of Liu Bowen are largely results from apotheosis of later generations. Through study, we found Feng Shui legend played important roles in the process of Liu Bowen legends, and it mostly based on the fact that Liu Bowen knew astronomy and geography and once studied them systematically. Thus we clarified the relationship between Liu Bowen and Feng Shui legend, and certained that people psychology were also a key factor to Liu Bowen Taoist image and Feng Shui stories.
