Different Yin House schools read graves differently, and San Yuan Yin House vs Modern Geomancy is the comparison this page lays out. Understanding the schools helps you choose or combine the right approach.
The San He, San Yuan, Flying Star, and Form schools all have valid Yin House applications, and San Yuan Yin House vs Modern Geomancy is what distinguishes them in practice.
San Yuan Yin House vs Modern Geomancy matters because the school you follow determines what you look for and what you prioritize. The San He school reads the landform and the 24-mountain system with emphasis on the three harmonies of water, mountain, and direction. The San Yuan school reads the period cycles and the flying stars with emphasis on timely energy. The Flying Star school applies the Xuang Kong natal chart to graves, reading mountain and water stars in each period. The Eight Mansions school simplifies to East-West groups, which is less precise for graves but useful for quick assessments. The Form school reads only the visible landform without compass calculations. The Luan Tou school is the classical landform reading that predates all compass methods.
My approach to San Yuan Yin House vs Modern Geomancy: I use a combined method. The Form school identifies the landform quality first, because no compass method can save a bad landform. The San He method confirms the water and mountain harmony. The San Yuan flying star method checks the period timing. This combination gives the most complete reading. A practitioner who reads only one school misses dimensions of the grave that the others cover. A practitioner who knows all schools but cannot integrate them produces conflicting readings instead of clear ones.
The honest assessment for San Yuan Yin House vs Modern Geomancy: each school has strengths and weaknesses. The Form school is strong on landform but does not address timing. The San Yuan school is strong on timing but can over-emphasize the compass and under-read the landform. The Flying Star school is detailed but can be rigid. The Eight Mansions school is accessible but too simple for serious grave work. The best practitioners are form-first, compass-second, and timing-aware.
