If you want to talk about the most cattle feng shui master in China, Yuan Tiangang of the Tang Dynasty is a name that cannot be bypassed.
It is said that Yuan Tiangang was born in the area of chengdu in present-day Sichuan, he has the special functions of listening to wind braids, understanding astronomy, and observing geographical superhuman, and the push back map he made is more beautiful than Zhuge Liang's horse pre-horse lesson, and all kinds of magical predictions before his death are inaccurate, and the people regard him as half-human and half-immortal.
There is such a record in the New Book of Tang: Once Yuan Tiangang was traveling out and passing by Wu Zetian's house, Wu Father asked Yuan Tiangang to show his children. Yuan Tiangang looked at the two sons of the Wu family and said that these two children could become high officials in the future, but they were not the dragons and phoenixes among the people. Father Wu called his eldest daughter again, Yuan Tiangang looked at it and nodded, and then shook his head and said that this daughter would not be rich or expensive in the future, but she would order Li Kefu. When Father Wu brought out Wu Zetian, who was dressed as a boy, Yuan Tiangang was stunned and said that if she was a daughter, she must be the lord of the world.
Facts proved that Yuan Tiangang's prediction was correct, and Houye Wu Zetianguo really became the first female emperor in Chinese history.
As Yuan Tiangang's reputation for predicting xiangshu grew, Tang Taizong Li Shimin also greatly praised his esoteric prediction ability, so he summoned Yuan Tiangang alone and asked him to look at the chancellor Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wujie, and others, and the results were impressive: the events he predicted were all accurate.
The history books record that when Emperor Gaozong of Tang was about to die of illness, Wu Zetian sent people to find a place to bury in feng shui. At that time, Wu Zetian selected two feng shui masters, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, and asked them to go separately to find the treasure land of feng shui. As a result, after Yuan Tiangang searched all over the place, one night looking at the stars, he found that a mountain was purple and soaring into the sky, so Yuan Tiangang made a mark here, took out a copper coin and buried it in the soil, and then went back to his life. And Li Chunfeng is also looking for feng shui treasures in various places, one day at noon, he looks at a boulder on a mountain as if a woman sleeping naked under the blue sky, all five features are complete, and what is more amazing is that there is a clear spring flowing out between the two "jade legs". Li Chunfeng was extremely surprised, so he put out a gossip, pulled out a hairpin and inserted it into the soil, and then hurried back to his life.
When the two returned to their lives, they found that they had chosen the same place, Liangshan, 6 kilometers north of the county seat of Qianxian County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province. Wu Zetian was greatly surprised, so he sent someone to investigate this place, and when the ministers came to this place, they found Li Chunfeng's hair needle, and after pulling it out, they found that Yuan Tiangang's copper coin was also underneath, and the original hair needle was just inserted in the eyes of the copper coin. Wu Zetian then built a mausoleum here, which is an anecdote about the site selection of Qianling. Later, after Wu Zetian's death, he was also buried here with her husband Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong.
Later, although the tomb robbers all looked at Qianling, but did not succeed once, huangchao at the end of the Tang Dynasty even dispatched 400,000 troops, and used cannons to bombard the tomb gate, resulting in digging a 40-meter ditch, the mountain where Qianling was located was almost half dug, the result was very disappointed, even the tomb door was not dug. Later, Later Liang Chongzhou Jiedu asked Wen Tao to organize an army to excavate all the Tang Dynasty imperial tombs, and this time Qianling was once again saved from bad luck. Under the guise of protecting the Qianling Tombs, the Kuomintang general Sun Lianzhong used the strength of a division to excavate but did not even find the entrance to the tomb.
After so many years, Qianling is still the best-preserved of the main tomb of the Eighteen Tombs of Tang, and the only mausoleum in the Tang Tombs that has not been stolen. Experts commented on this: breathtaking.
In this regard, most of the posterity believes that this is the cemetery place chosen by the wind master Yuan Tiangang, and the reason for choosing the "dragon vein" is the reason.
Yuan Tiangang's art of public opinion can be described as the pinnacle of perfection, but it is still a mortal fetus, and it cannot escape life, old age, illness and death, so in his old age, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng also chose a cemetery for themselves, and the result was that the later curtain appeared again, and the cemeteries of the two were selected in Chang'an County, and were separated by hundreds of meters.
According to the ye history records, when Li Chunfeng was seriously ill, Yuan Tiangang went to visit, and Li Chunfeng said to Yuan Tiangang: My Taoist deeds are still not as good as yours, and the cemetery will be stolen for hundreds of years after my death, and yours will always be well preserved. Yuan Tiangang asked the reason, and Li Chunfeng replied: Everything has karma, as the prime minister, I have too much resentment, and you are a national teacher, and you have been accumulating merit.
Later, as Li Chunfeng said, although the cemeteries of the two were not far apart, there was a world of difference, and Li Chunfeng's cemetery was covered
What is the reason that the looting is full of holes, but the tomb of Yuan Tiangang, which is close at hand, is unharmed?
It turned out that the location of Yuan Tiangang's mausoleum was exactly the throat of the ancient soldiers, and together with the war, a military fortress was built here, and in order to resist the invasion of the Northern Liao and Jin in the Song Dynasty, it was expanded into a forbidden army camp of the Northern Song Dynasty, and in the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent the Northern Yuan from attacking the south, it was still a large camp on the side of Tunken.
After liberation, because this is still a military base, Yuan Tiangang's mausoleum was saved from being "broken four old", until after the reform and opening up, the army finally withdrew, but the local government fully realized the importance of cultural relics protection, characterized it as a national cultural relics protection facility, and arranged special personnel to be responsible for guarding, and even installed an alarm on the grave head, becoming a key object of protection, so Yuan Tiangang's tomb has experienced thousands of years of wind, frost, rain and snow, miraculously left.
