Traditionally attributed to Guo Pu; attribution debated传统题郭璞撰；作者归属有争议Text and context文本与语境
What this work contributes.这部书提供了什么。
A foundational work of the geomantic tradition, traditionally attributed to the Jin writer Guo Pu. Bibliographic evidence leaves that attribution disputed; received editions were also shaped by later editors.堪舆传统中的基础著作，传统题晋代郭璞撰；但目录学证据使这一归属仍有争议，传世版本亦经后世整理。
气乘风则散，界水则止。
A modern reading现代解读
The famous line describes qi through dispersal and containment by wind and water. It belongs to a text concerned principally with burial landscapes, so applying it directly to a modern home requires interpretive care.这句名文以风的散与水的止来说明气。原书主要讨论葬地，把它直接移用于现代住宅时，必须交代语境并保持审慎。
It provides historical vocabulary for Feng Shui, but a contemporary space consultation must also consider actual use, safety, architecture and the people involved.它提供了理解风水历史的关键语汇；当代空间咨询仍须同时考虑实际用途、安全、建筑条件与使用者。
