Guo Pu / 郭璞

Guo Pu / 郭璞 appears in 87.过年最适合聊玄学!探讨神仙方术发展史(接上集) as the figure attached to early fengshui authority. The episode links him to [[Zangshu|《葬书》]], while also noting that scholars often regard that attribution as later and uncertain.

The source uses Guo Pu to explain [[FengShuiVitalEnergyTheory|风水生气论]]: sites are evaluated through qi, wind, water, and protective directional forms such as the later four-symbol layout.

Key Claims

  • Guo Pu functions as a traditional authority figure for fengshui in the episode.
  • The episode keeps attribution caution visible, treating the text’s later history as uncertain.
  • Fengshui is framed as a technique of managing qi and landscape relation, not only as household superstition.
