I read a news that some people are using feudal superstitions to seduce people, especially those who took advantage of Tomb-Sweeping Day's arrival, and started a series of money-making activities, the most prominent of which is the phenomenon of selling cemeteries. They used the so-called geomantic omen to deceive the people. Some sellers claim to have a treasure trove to protect future generations, so some cemeteries are priced at more than 100 thousand yuan or even higher. Feng shui is very important for cemeteries, but there are actually several reasons that are deceptive.
We know that emperors of many dynasties in the history of China paid great attention to the so-called land of geomantic omen. In fact, these dynasties did not end well, and they died when they deserved to die. The Song Dynasty existed for a long time in history, with the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty reaching more than 400 years. The emperors of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties had almost no decent tombs, and those dynasties that paid attention to geomantic omen did not last as long as the Song Dynasty.
According to historical records, the same is true of Feng Shui. Feng shui was originally used for farming and has nothing to do with feudal superstition. Later, after the middle period of feudal society in China, the theory of geomantic omen began to appear gradually. In fact, these theories are all to meet the personal superstitious needs of the powerful people in the dynasty, and also to facilitate the rule of the dynasty, so Feng Shui is not a magical technology at all.
Feng Shui literally means the wind in the sky and the water on the ground, which means a kind of harmony between heaven and earth. In fact, these are just a concept of the unity of man and nature of our ancestors, which has no practical significance at all, and even less practical significance for cemeteries. Now a so-called feng shui cemetery is actually meaningless to the lives of ordinary people!
