Isn't it unlucky for the ancient emperor to build his own cemetery before he died?

Emperors at all times and all over the world built cemeteries for themselves during their lifetime, such as the Egyptian pyramids, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in China and the Ming Tombs. All of them were built during the reign of the emperor, and the cemeteries built were very luxurious, which consumed a lot of human and financial resources of the country. So aren't they afraid of bad luck when they build their own cemetery in advance? The answer is no, for the following reasons.

First of all, we must understand that in ancient times, people were superstitious. They believe that they will live in another world after death. Because they enjoyed absolute supreme power before their death, they wanted to expand their power before their death. Therefore, we saw many graves filled with daily necessities, gold and silver treasures, and buried many guards and maids for them. They think it can be taken to another world.

The emperor knows the cruelty of politics best, so he doesn't believe that future generations can make his mausoleum prosperous. So many emperors began to build their own tombs after they ascended the throne. On the one hand, the material consumed in this aspect is huge and lasts for a very long time. In the unstable times before, it was definitely too late to do these things after death, and it could only be repaired in advance.

On the other hand, ancient people believed in geomantic omen, and emperors of various dynasties paid great attention to the location and construction of cemeteries. Not only the emperor, but also people think that the feng shui of the emperor's cemetery is good, which directly affects the national luck of the whole country. Therefore, emperors will take pains to find a treasure trove of geomantic omen before they die, and then spend huge manpower and material resources to build a very luxurious cemetery, so that they can rest in peace and bless the country for generations to come.
