Guo Pu is the originator of Chinese feng shui, and his book "Burial Classic", also known as "Burial Book", discusses feng shui and its importance, and is the ancestor of Chinese feng shui culture.
After the Yongjia Rebellion, the Jin Dynasty moved south, and the imperial power weakened, "the king and the horse, the world together". In 324, the general Wang Dun rebelled and summoned Guo Pu to divinate, and Guo Pu dissuaded him on the grounds that Bu Zheng was not lucky, and was killed by Wang Dun. A few months later, the rebellion was quelled and Wang Dun was killed in a coffin.
