Whether poor or rich, it is extremely important for ancient people to ask Mr. Feng Shui to see the land of Feng Shui.
If people live in areas with poor geomantic omen, they will suffer many diseases and disasters.
If the graves built for their ancestors did not occupy the land of geomantic omen when they died, it would be difficult for their ancestors to live in the underworld, and it would be difficult for people to ask their ancestors to bless themselves for promotion and wealth.
Although people believed in science in 2 1 century, some ancient famous sayings are still circulating today.
Do you know the meaning of the sentence "opening the Qinglong Gate at home is better than the ancestral grave"?
I. What is "Qinglong Gate"
First of all, "Qinglongmen" has a word "door", which is not difficult to explain. It is the gate installed when people build houses.
Qinglong refers to the location where the gate is installed. Ancient people called Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu the four ancient beasts.
These four great beasts represent different directions.
Qinglong represents the East, White Tiger represents the West, Xuanwu represents the North, and Suzaku represents the South.
In the palace where the ancient emperors lived, people often heard about Qinglong Gate and Xuanwu Gate.
According to these methods, TV can distinguish doors in all directions.
If you don't explain that Qinglong is an orientation, most people will mistakenly think that Qinglong is some patterns.
Qinglong Gate, with the design of Qinglong engraved on it.
In ancient times, people attached importance to geomantic omen. When installing the gate, the orientation of the gate is very particular and must be based on geomantic omen.
Not only that, but there are no patterns on their doors.
There are many patterns on the gate, which will be called a temple.
Only the doors and windows of the temple will have too many copies. The ancients said that doors installed on houses only need to be painted with auspicious colors.
When the ancient people installed the gate, in addition to paying attention to the orientation of the gate, the height of the gate must be higher than the side wall.
The fences on both sides of the gate must be the same height, otherwise it will bring disadvantages to the home.
Ancient people attached great importance to geomantic omen. People installed the gate in the east. According to the phenomenon that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, it is auspicious that people can greet the sunrise as soon as they open the door every day.
When the sun rises, it means hope. Not only that, install the gate in the east direction. Whenever the sun rises, people can see it full of hope. That kind of scenery is beautiful.
People are in a good mood in the morning, and everything they finish in a day goes smoothly.
The so-called "Qinglong Gate" is the gate facing east.
Second, the meaning of "ancestral graves"
In this proverb, it is not difficult to understand the ancestral graves.
Because the ancients paid attention to feng shui and thought that their ancestors had passed away, they invited Mr. Feng Shui to see a treasure trove of feng shui.
As long as the position is well occupied and the ancestors live comfortably, the ancestors will bless future generations to be promoted and made a fortune.
From this perspective, the feng shui treasure buried by our ancestors is extremely important to the ancients.
Until 2 1 century, some people buried in the soil still kept the habit of watching feng shui.
They will ask Mr. Feng Shui to take his property to the mountains to test a treasure house of Feng Shui, hoping that his ancestors will become immortals after their death, protect themselves and let themselves and their descendants be promoted and rich.
Therefore, "it is better to open the ancestral grave than to open the Qinglong Gate at home".
The first half of the sentence is about the importance of the installation location of the gate, and the second half is about the importance of setting off the Qinglong Gate with ancestral graves.
In ancient times, when people saw that someone in their family was admitted and became a high official, they would say that this person's ancestral grave was smoking, which was blessed by his ancestors.
If a person does something wrong, as a punishment, some officials will choose to throw away the prisoner's ancestral grave.
In ancient times, digging up the ancestral graves of criminals was also a punishment.
For the ancients, the ancestors' graves were built in a treasure trove of geomantic omen, and the ancestors would surely bless their descendants for promotion and wealth, and the position after burial was not allowed to change.
The ancestral grave was dug, which shows that children and grandchildren are unfilial.
So in the eyes of the ancients, ancestral graves are extremely important.
Understand the meaning of Qinglongmen and ancestral graves, and put them together, you will find that the orientation of the gate is extremely important in ancient times.
Nowadays, when people are building a house, which direction the door should go is still particular and cannot be ignored.
Summary:
As the saying goes, "It is better to open the Qinglong Gate at home than the ancestral grave." This proverb shows the great wisdom of our ancestors.
Ancient people believed in superstition, so they paid attention to geomantic omen when building houses and burying the dead.
Until 2 1 century, there were many geomantic masters in China. In order to build a house and download the location of the dead, they will still find a feng shui master to test the feng shui treasure house.
Of course, some people advocate science and don't believe in superstition, but for some customs left by ancestors, later people will still complete them according to their ancestors' scores.
