China CCTV Awards Master Yun: "I-Ching Gold Medal Master 易经绝学金牌大师"

 

Surely you know by now, Master Yun received MANY awards from China CCTV. If I am counted correctly, NINE 9 awards. The person second to Master Yun, probably received about five.

 

Some awards are "categorical awards", as in, there are several persons receiving the "艺术成就奖 Achievement in Art Award". 

Some awards are specifically given to Master Yun. Like, this jaw-dropping title: I-Ching Gold Medal Master 易经绝学金牌大师.


Master Yun is the only one who received this commendation.

Why is Master Yun recognized as the "Gold Medal Master 金牌大师"? I mean, there are plenty of people who learned and practice fengshui, some even for a longer time than Master Yun, some even closer to China...?

 

Perhaps because of Master Yun's 6th generation lineage?

Perhaps, of Master Yun's First-Class Honours scholarly capabilities?

Or is it the founding of Lotus on Water, only the most high-end fengshui jewelry gallery?

 

Maybe it's all the above. Some people learn about fengshui, but don't believe in it. Some people practice fengshui, perhaps pretty good in predictions, but offer no solutions or merely having others resign to fate. Some, offer and sell solutions, but they are either placebos, plastics, second-hand, imitations...things that simply don't work, and simply degrading to our culture.

Master Yun is not only beyond knowledgeable and wise about fengshui, he has been using this art to improve the lives of many. MANY. And for sure we know, the solutions, the fengshui jewelries, the Lotus collections, are all of very high standards, value and beauty.

 

It can even be said, Master Yun made fengshui great again (yes, I am deliberately speaking like Trump).

Before Master Yun founded Lotus on Water, fengshui in Singapore (at least) was mired in the swamp of superstitions and "cheapstakeness". There was no honor. I have written about this many times.

Master Yun, with his extremist insistence on standards, shocked the fengshui industry with only the best, authentic and beautiful jadeite. Jadeite that even old-timers in the jewelry industry couldn't even offer.

 

He established such a high standard, that it revitalized the name of fengshui. Till today, no imitators nor veterans have come close.

One thing for sure, we know that the Chinese Central Government has been very hush-hush with "fengshui", and even denounced it during certain periods in recent history. The last ever award or title given to a fengshui master, was during the last imperial/feudal dynasty. For the Chinese government to award such a title, "I-Ching Gold Medal Master 易经绝学金牌大师", I think it's really something.

And, out of all the fengshui practitioners, out of all Chinese.
