Speaking of ancestral graves, Liu Bang also has an allusion to moving ancestral graves. Liu Bang's family has lived in Xuzhou for generations. His family is poor and living conditions are poor. No ancestral graves. After his grandfather died, he was buried in the wasteland near the village.
One day in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Liu Bang went to the grave with his father. At this time, it happened that a local rich man lost his wife and was asking Mr. Feng Shui to look at the address and choose a cemetery to bury his dead wife. Liu bang was very curious about this, so he came to join in the fun and wanted to hear what happened.
Mr. Feng Shui takes the river bank as the basic point and carefully observes the water situation. Suddenly, he had a brainwave and shouted excitedly at the rich man, saying that he had found an auspicious position. As he spoke, he pointed to a bend in the East River, claiming that the geomantic omen there was excellent. If the deceased is buried here, future generations will have a son of heaven, at least a prince. After all, the gentleman also said that if you don't believe me, I can easily break a wicker on the side of the road and insert it here. After lunch, let's watch it together. New leaves will grow here. The rich man followed his advice and went home for dinner together.
Who knows that Liu Bang, hiding in the bushes, clearly heard this conversation and firmly wrote it down. After dinner, he quickly came to see it, but he really found the green shoots in his heart. Liu bang was surprised, but he wanted to look around, so he tore off all the new shoots and left. After dinner, Mr. Wang and the rich man came to see that there were no new buds, so they had to find a new address.
After Liu Bang told his father about it, the two decided to spend the night and move his grandfather from the burial place to the wicker, so that Liu Bang's ancestral grave was moved to a geomantic treasure.
