Therefore, from ancient times to the present, there are only a few people who can be called Feng Shui masters.
In the history of China, there are two representative books in the field of Feng Shui, namely Qingnangjing and Kate Jing, so Feng Shui is also called Qingnangjing and Kate.
According to historical records, "Feng Shui" was first seen in the Book of Burial written by Guo Pu in the Jin Dynasty: "Qi, if dispersed by the wind, stops at the boundary of water; The ancients gathered together to make it last for a long time, so it was called Feng Shui.
"This is the earliest definition of Feng Shui by the ancients, and it is based on this that many related fields have been derived.
Feng shui involves many fields, whether building a house or looking for a grave, this ancient knowledge will be used.
Especially when the ancients built tombs, they would find a Feng Shui gentleman to find a treasure as a place to live after death.
The existence of geomantic omen is bound to have outstanding people in this field.
There are indeed eight "Feng Shui Masters" in the history of China, all of whom are ingenious. They are Guo Pu, the originator of geomantic omen in the period of Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty; Li in the Tang Dynasty, as well as Yuan Tiangang, Guiguzi,,, Guanluo and Liao.
The last four people may not be familiar to everyone, but the first four people are definitely the most famous.
In particular, "Guiguzi" has become a best seller, and all kinds of thinking mentioned in it are very sought after.
There is also a saying that Feng Shui has existed for thousands of years in the historical and cultural development of China, and it has also been mentioned. For example, this sentence: "There is a pit behind the grave, and the white tiger hangs its head and worries about the young people", which is obviously closely related to Feng Shui.
The scale of the princes' tombs is amazing.
Especially the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, has not been opened so far.
There are countless organs involved, and the design is even more elusive. How did they do it in ancient times when technology was relatively backward? It is still a mystery.
Because of the wind of reburial, grave robbers also appeared, and they took a fancy to the treasure in the tomb.
These nobles enjoyed all the splendor before their death, and they want to continue this life after their death, so they will try their best to take many things underground before their death.
Since there are so many treasures to be treasured, the location of tombs is particularly important, and feng shui masters like Guo Pu, Li and Yuan Tiangang have a very high natural position.
They chose a land of geomantic omen, even connected with Long Mai.
For ordinary people, it is naturally impossible to invite these top feng shui masters to choose a cemetery for themselves, but there are many folk feng shui masters. They travel to and from people's deceased families, and their overall job is to beat gongs and drums and choose cemeteries.
Although feudal superstition is very heavy, it is also a folk culture. Since it exists, it has certain significance.
The ancestors also said that when choosing a cemetery, there should be no pit behind the grave. If we don't pay attention to this problem, it will lead to the consequence of "no one is allowed to live", that is, no one can bear such a heavy price.
This sentence must be exaggerated, 100% feudal superstition, but our ancestors must have a reason to say so.
Let's think it over. When the deceased is buried, the tomb is actually the position of the feet, and the head is at the end of the tomb.
When buried, there is often not enough soil. In order to finish the work quickly, we will dig by the grave.
The grave is ready, but the pit behind it is a big problem.
First of all, this pit will accumulate a lot of water in rainy days, because the location of the tomb is generally in a relatively low-lying place, and it is difficult to drain the accumulated water in a short time.
After a long time, the water will leak directly down and the coffin buried in the soil will be corroded.
Secondly, there is a big pit directly towards the head of the deceased, which is equivalent to a pit next to the pillow when we sleep. How can this be tolerated? This is also a great disrespect for the deceased.
Therefore, it is not feasible to have a pit behind the grave from the traditional cognition or from the scientific point of view.
At least, it affects the appearance.
Since it is a common saying about Feng Shui, the second half sentence is also meaningful.
The "white tiger" mentioned here is the western white tiger among the four great beasts, so it also represents the orientation of the "west" here.
The white tiger hanging on the head indicates that there are tall mountains and buildings in the west.
When we build a house, we always sit facing south.
What the ancestors expressed was to warn future generations that when building houses or choosing cemeteries, we should remember to stay away from steep and potholed large-scale mountains, which are prone to large-scale natural disasters.
And according to the orientation of the house, it will also affect the lighting.
Finally, to sum up, the proverb "There is a pit behind the grave, and the white tiger hangs its head and worries about the young" is a proverb handed down thousands of years ago, but it also has certain scientific basis.
Burial still exists in rural areas, so we should pay attention to these problems when burying the dead.
Generally speaking, some proverbs are still of practical value, but with the continuous progress of science, we should learn to use our wise brains to discard their dross, so as to screen out useful knowledge and add luster to our lives.
