Feng Shui has played a pivotal role in the long history of China. The ancients believed that good feng shui could bless their families and even their descendants with prosperity, and avoid evil, while bad feng shui would cause harm to people. Therefore, from ancient times to modern society, many people have a deep belief in feng shui. Materialists may think that feng shui is nonsense, they will think it is superstition, but feng shui has its magic, many people think that feng shui is a science, the knowledge in it covers a wide range, from geography to astronomy, in fact, it is also a science.
The ancients said, "The method of feng shui is the first to get the water, and the wind is secondary to the hidden wind." The core meaning of this sentence is the role of feng shui in the ancient living environment or buried environment, and the choice of feng shui treasure land must conform to the law of cosmic change, and achieve the purpose of avoiding evil through the guidance of feng shui experts. So far, feng shui has played a certain role in architecture, and many people have to choose sites to build according to water and pay attention to geographical location.
In ancient times, feng shui was widely used in burial tombs. The location of the tombs after the death of ancient emperors was determined after careful feng shui calculations, so as to facilitate the accumulation of blessings for their descendants. The mausoleum mentioned next is closely related to feng shui, which can be called the most cattle ancestral tomb in Chinese history, with 16 emperors in the descendants, and no one has dared to steal it, and the high-speed rail road construction must also be detoured. So where did this ancestral tomb of the most cattle in Chinese history come from? What kind of feng shui treasures create the well-being of future generations? This family was extremely poor, and as a beggar, he became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty with extraordinary tenacity and life experience. This person was Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in shijing.
Zhu Yuanzhang was able to become the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty from a grass dweller, in addition to his own efforts, many people also believe that his ancestors' tombs were good at feng shui, so that they could bless him to become a good emperor praised by everyone. Tracing the life of Zhu Yuanzhang can be described as extremely legendary. He is not like other emperors who are born to enjoy glory and wealth, and he has a wind and dragon, but he has truly tasted the bittersweet and bittersweet of ordinary people, so he knows how to conform to the people's hearts and minds for the sake of the people.
In the early days, Zhu Yuanzhang lived in an extremely poor family, the family population was also large, and even basic food and clothing became a problem, and eating enough to wear warm clothes was already a luxury for him. One year, a natural disaster occurred in his hometown of Huaibei, and this natural disaster was undoubtedly a natural disaster for their family, and the famine caused by natural disasters caused his father to be starved to death, and the only pillar of the family also fell, and Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang's family has lived a worse life. He also had no money to buy a coffin to bury his father, and eventually he could only wrap his father in a straw mat and bury him.
When Zhu Yuanzhang buried his father, heavy rain fell from the sky, and Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that he would be infected with wind and cold to add trouble to his family, so he had no choice but to put aside the straw mat wrapped around his father and go to hide from the rain first. But suddenly the stones and dirt on the mountain were washed down by the heavy rain, just burying his father, and then the rain stopped Zhu Yuanzhang used this as his father's burial place, thinking that Providence could not be violated, and God was going to let his father be buried here.
Miraculously, Zhu Yuanzhang's life changed dramatically after his father's death. Originally, he had been a monk because of his poverty, and he had begged as a beggar in the most difficult time, but these difficult experiences paved the way for his future success. Then he threw himself into the uprising with the tide, and this life of uncertainty ended. During the peasant revolt, his bravery made him stand out from many people, and gradually became a leading figure, and he also made many close friends who helped him in his future reign as emperor. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, the first thing he thought of was to build a scenic mausoleum for his father's tomb.
But when he made this suggestion, he was blocked. Because Mr. Feng Shui once saw his family's ancestral grave, he thought that the feng shui there was excellent, which could bless Zhu Yuanzhang's steady success and have a positive impact on the development of his descendants. After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang did not plan to move his father's grave, but expanded and repaired the place where his father was buried, and the project was so huge that the Ming Emperor's mausoleum was established and is now located in Fengyang. Therefore, when the descendants produced 16 emperors, those who especially believed in feng shui were even more respectful. Because the design of the mausoleum is quite complex, no one has dared to steal it, and the preservation is very complete. Later, when the Beijing-Shanghai Railway was built, in order not to destroy the mausoleum, more money was paid to go around the Ming Emperor's mausoleum, and the claim that the most cattle ancestor tomb in Chinese history was understandable.
