碩士 === 真理大學 === 宗教文化與組織管理學系碩士班 === 102 === Ba-drai-ming-ching( Eight Dwelling Clear Mirror) is a book about Fong-shei, formed in Ching Dynasty, of which writer was said as Yang, Yung-sung, a Fong-shei master in Tang Dynasty and was re-written by Jou-kuan-dao-jen(箬冠道人) around Ming and Ching Dynasty. It applied the Method of Eight Dwellings(Ba Drai Fa), which figures out that how the individual little cosmos is influenced both by the chi circulating in big cosmos and by the chi in the dwellings via understanding the principles of Yin Yang and Five Elements; therefore, the luck of individual little cosmos will be influenced by the arrangement and the relocation of the living space. Method of Eight Dwellings(Ba Drai Fa) applied in Ba-drai-ming-ching( Eight Dwelling Clear Mirror) separates dwellings into Four East Dwellings(Dong Si Drai) which include Kan, Li, Jen, and Shein, and Four West Dwellings(Shi Si Drai) which include Chien, Kuen, Ken, and Dwei, while separating people into Four East Fate(Dong Si Ming) which include Kan, Li, Jen, and Shein, and Four West Fate(Shi Si Ming) which include Chien, Kuen, Ken, and Dwei. People who are of Four East Fate(Dong Si Ming) are supposed to live in Four East Dwellings(Dong Si Drai) while people who are of Four West Fate(Shi Si Ming) are supposed to live in Four West Dwellings(Shi Si Drai). The four positions of Four East Dwellings(Dong Si Drai) are all good to the others while the four positions of Four West Dwellings(Shi Si Drai) are all bad. This is the way that Method of Eight Dwellings(Ba Drai Fa) arranges the living space in the dwellings. This thesis focuses on the interpretation toward the application of Method of Eight Dwellings(Ba Drai Fa) in Ba-drai-ming-ching( Eight Dwelling Clear Mirror) from Teacher Chen, Chin-whan. Since Ba-drai-ming-ching( Eight Dwelling Clear Mirror) was originally applied to traditional Chinese buildings—three section compound, how the theory in the book applies to the modern urbanized apartment will be the main issue of this thesis. Furthermore, Ba-drai-ming-ching( Eight Dwelling Clear Mirror) is also constructed both on the male-centre point of view and patriarchal structure. The way that Teacher Chen, Chin-whan practices the Yang Dwelling( Yang- Drai) is not only the re-interpretation to Ba-drai-ming-ching (Eight Dwelling Clear Mirror)，but also the application and the transformation of Ba-drai-ming-ching( Eight Dwelling Clear Mirror) in modern society.
