People like Zeng Guofan naturally have many legends, and probably the same is true about his ancestral grave.
In other words, Zeng Guofan's great-grandfather was called Zeng Jingxi, an ordinary farmer who worked all his life. Fortunately, the grandson Zeng Linshu (Zeng Guofan's father) is an ambitious man. He studies very hard. Although he failed to win the list many times, he was still not discouraged.
On this day, Zeng Jingxi came to the end of his life and died without explaining anything. So his son and grandson buried him in a place in Taixichong, his hometown, without letting anyone see him beforehand. But later, he said that the place was like a rooster, and the place where Zeng Jingxi was buried was a chicken head.
After the family buried Zeng Jingxi, they also went home. If you want to live, do what you have to do. But it happened that night, the wind and rain suddenly changed, a heavy rain came, and it cleared up three days later.
Two days later, a master came from nowhere. He stood in front of Zeng Jingxi's grave and stared, then looked around. After a busy day, I realized that it was Zeng's grave and found the door. He told the Zeng family very seriously: the place where your family was buried is simply wonderful, and future generations are blessed. Watch this, your descendants will prosper. ?
Finally, the master suggested that if you have money, you must buy the land in front of the tomb. It's called. Golden rooster pecks rice? . Thus, the Tseng family remembered. Coincidentally, Zeng Linshu, who didn't get in the second year, won the list with the help of God!
He is not only the first scholar in the Zeng family high school list, but also the first in the local Zeng family for a hundred years! It caused a sensation in the local area. As a result, the Zeng family soon bought the land in front of the tomb.
Zeng Guofan also received a good education because of his father's promise, although Zeng Guofan was stupid. For example, there is a story that Zeng Guofan is studying indoors and there is a thief standing outside the window. But Zeng Guofan didn't say anything except the contents of the book, so that the thief was anxious to clear his throat, recited it again, and then left his hand, leaving Zeng Guofan alone in the study.
Of course, the truth of this matter cannot be verified. Just like Zeng Jingxi accidentally hid a Tibetan? A treasure trove of feng shui? Same. I can only say that.
But in any case, from a legendary story, it is obviously a blessing. However, the author pays more attention to Zeng Guofan's father Zeng Guofan's blessing, not that piece of geomantic treasure.
Because parents are always the first teachers of future generations, and they can influence their lives. Therefore, in order to make future generations more blessed, we should strengthen our self-cultivation. Passing on good qualities, such as Zeng Linshu failing the exam, but still not giving up, is also reflected in Zeng Guofan. For example, his thirst for knowledge and consent also appeared in Zeng Guofan.
