The dragon vein actually refers to the veins of the earth. The soil is the dragon's flesh, the stone is the dragon's bone, and the vegetation is the dragon's hair.
Feng Shui studies are essentially the study of dragon veins. The so-called search for the origins refers to finding the dragon veins. Only after you find the origins can you assess the qi pulses, avoid anger, balance Yin and Yang, judge cause and effect, etc.
The layout of the dragon veins is also hierarchical, similar to a tree having roots, trunk, branches, and leaves. Dragon veins are also divided into root dragons, trunk dragons, branch dragons, leaf dragons, and so on. Generally speaking, wherever the spiritual energy of the dragon veins gathers is considered to be a Feng Shui treasure land.
