What is an ancestral grave? The ancestral grave is the place where the bones of ancestors are buried or stored. The landscape environment where the ancestors' coffins are buried is the ancestral tomb feng shui. This environmental aura is also called "ancestral tomb" or "yin house", and is also called innate feng shui. Acquired Feng Shui is "housing" or "yangzhai".
As the saying goes, "Death is like a lamp going out." Most people believe that after death, the "soul" comes out of the shell, the body is cremated or rotted, and turns into ashes and mud. The soul is nothing, so how can it affect future generations? ?

In fact, this is not the case. According to the theory of "material immortality", human death is just the disappearance of an old human body combination, that is, the disappearance of the skin in this life. .
But the basic material elements that make up the human body are eternal. After the "baptism" of fire and water, some of them turn into gas, some turn into ashes, and some rot into soil. Some are recombined into other material forms, and even these gases, ashes and earth will be recombined and give rise to some new life forms.
That is to say, although the ancestors died and the lights were extinguished, they still However, their aura fills a certain space and is still influencing future generations silently.
"Human beings receive qi from their parents, and their original bones receive qi, and their remains are shaded." That is to say, the bodies of descendants are part of what their parents (ancestors) left behind. If the bones of parents (ancestors) gain qi, they will receive qi. It will bless future generations, so it is very important to find an auspicious home for the bones of parents (ancestors).
The closer the blood relationship is, the greater the influence. This is because the genetic genes of ancestors and their descendants are very similar and have great affinity, so it is easy to communicate through the aura. Unfortunately, this kind of communication gene or magnetic field is too small and weak. Not only can people not see or touch it, but it is also temporarily undetectable by scientific and technological means, which does not mean that it does not exist.
From this point of view, the ancestral grave is not only the destination of the material body after death, but also a spiritual place for future generations to pay homage to their ancestors. It is also an invisible magnetic field that affects the reproduction of future generations and is related to generations. Family fortune and prosperity.
Another similar point of view, Yinzhai Feng Shui believes that "after the deceased is buried, the true energy will combine with the acupoint energy to form vitality. Through the exchange of yin and yang, it will influence and control the energy of living relatives in some mysterious way. Luck. When the yin and yang are exhaled, they become wind, when they rise to the sky, they become clouds, and when they fall, they become rain. When the energy circulates underground, it nourishes all things.
Human beings are the crystallization of father’s sperm and mother’s blood, so they are also the crystallization of yin and yang qi. Every living person has yin and yang qi. After death, the physical body disappears, but the yin and yang qi do not disappear in the living person. In the bones, the bones are not destroyed after death, so the Qi is still alive after death."
It is said that after death, the soul is still there, and the soul is the aura. Therefore, those who are buried should find a living ghost house, where the yin and yang spiritual energy combines to protect the living relatives.
Heaven and earth coexist with me, and all things are one with me. "Yin and Yang are in the heaven and earth, and shape and energy are in all things. Heaven and man respond with the same voice, and man and earth are in the same breath." Humanity is one of all things in the universe. , with the yin and yang of all things.
As history developed into the Jin Dynasty, a gentleman named Guo Pu comprehensively summarized this knowledge and formed a famous Kanyu work "The Burial Classic".
The "Burial Sutra" makes a penetrating discussion on the function of ancestral graves: "The buried person takes advantage of the Qi. The five Qi travel in the earth. They arise from all things. Human beings receive from their parents. The original bones are obtained. The body of Qi is shaded. The scripture says: The Qi responds to the blessings of ghosts and people, so the copper mountain collapses to the east.
This passage vividly describes the operation process of how ancestors "take advantage of Qi", "walk in the earth", "give birth to all things", "respond to Qi, bring ghosts and blessings to people". The influence of ancestors on descendants is like "the copper mountain collapses in the west" and the "spiritual bell responds in the east".
"The Burial Sutra" further says: "What is born is the condensation of Qi. What is formed is that the bones die and remain alone. Therefore, those who are buried are born from the negative Qi and the bones." It means the so-called "living ones", which are essentially the condensation of Qi and the formation of flesh and blood. The "dead" use their bones to protect and bless their descendants.
Therefore, the feng shui of the burial site is directly related to the good and bad luck of future generations. The feng shui of the ancestral graves will invisibly affect the future and destiny of the descendants.
Dead people have Qi, and Qi can sense and affect living people. This kind of induction is based on facts. For example, when spring comes, trees leaf out and bloom, and wheat seeds placed at home automatically germinate. Qi moves underground. When it moves, it follows the terrain. When it gathers, it also stops with the terrain. The stone bones in Qiulong and the raised earth ridges on the flat ground are all signs of the movement of Qi.
The scriptures say: Qi is lost when blown by the wind, and stops when it encounters boundary water. Ancient people gathered Qi to prevent it from dissipating, and used boundary water to restrict it from running, so it was called Feng Shui.
According to the rules of Feng Shui, water is the best, and being able to hide wind is the second requirement. Why do you say this? Because even the grand movement of qi still has its remaining qi to stop, and although it is scattered, the deep qi still has a place to gather. The scriptures say: Water flowing outside the soil is called external air. When external air flows rampantly and becomes boundary water, the energy within the soil will naturally stop gathering. This is exactly what it means. The scriptures also say: The shallow and the deep can be multiplied, and Feng Shui is created by itself. Earth is the mother of vitality, and only with earth can there be vitality. Qi is the mother of water, and only when there is Qi can there be water. Therefore, the Qi hidden in dry and hot places should be shallow, and the Qi hidden in flat areas should be deep.
When yin and yang meet, happiness and prosperity will last forever. The reason is that the souls of the elders (scientifically called superstrings) and the bodies of their descendants are related by blood (genetic genes and biological conductivity). The corpse's body and soul are buried in a true dragon's lair, which can naturally absorb the dragon's energy, forming the true purpose of countering the energy and absorbing the bones. This is the principle that all things are born from the soil and return to the soil.
The living person belongs to yang, the dead person belongs to yin; the dragon qi (the two qi of yin and yang) belongs to yang, and the dead person belongs to yin; the yang qi of the dragon and the yin corpse bones nourish each other, and the yin of the corpse bones, the regeneration corresponds to the existence. The yang of descendants of blood relations. This is the purpose of yin and yang meeting each other, and happiness, wealth and everlasting chastity.
Emperors of all dynasties have been flocking to the feng shui of ancestral tombs. They often choose places and caves from the time they ascend the throne and build large-scale construction projects. The great feng shui in the world seems to be occupied by these imperial tombs, so that their Imperial estates often last for hundreds of years.

However, even among ordinary people, if any family has a big champion, a big official, a big rich man, or a family that is "prosperous" , if you pay attention to his family’s ancestral tomb, it must be a geomantic treasure place where the water flows smoothly and the wind gathers and hides.
But Yang Gong, the master of Feng Shui, said: "Every time a good place is left to accumulate virtue, and every time a bad place is given to evil, the bandits in the world will be angry with the gods." What he means is that the Feng Shui treasure land is specially reserved for Those who are destined to do more good deeds and accumulate more merits, evil villains only deserve bad lands. If a good Feng Shui treasure land is obtained by evil people, God and gods will be angry, and everyone involved will be punished. of.
Different feng shui of ancestral graves can create different family fortunes and different life destinies. "Don't say that the number of people born is odd, and the earth element changes naturally." The feng shui of the ancestral tomb is good, and its descendants will be prosperous and prosperous. On the contrary, if there is a broken ancestral tomb feng shui, the family will be miserable, defeated, poor, and have no heirs.
The human body is a Tai Chi. In layman’s terms, the human body is a small universe. Where do you come from? The origin of your flesh and blood is from your parents. You are transformed by the flesh and blood of your parents. The eight-character middle-aged pillar represents your ancestors, and the moon pillar represents your parents' palace. The Year Pillar is also the ancestral spirit, which represents a person's origin bloodline.
Your level depends on the quality of the aura of heaven and earth received by your ancestral graves. If your ancestors have accumulated Yin virtue, the aura of heaven and earth you receive will be auspicious, and heaven will give you wealth. If your ancestors did not accumulate Yin virtue, the Qi of heaven and earth you receive will be unlucky, and your level and wealth will also be very low.
The ancients believed that burying ancestors in a place with excellent Feng Shui will definitely bring good luck to future generations. On the contrary, if the Feng Shui is not good, the descendants will have bad luck at best and bad luck at worst. Families are broken up. As the saying goes: "If you don't invite earthly masters for three generations, your family will definitely have no money."
Finding the best blessing site for ancestors can bring good luck to future generations, which is called Yinfu. The Feng Shui of the Yin Mansion is a major matter that is mainly related to the wealth and prosperity of future generations. No matter you are at the end of the world or in a foreign country, you will always be affected by the Feng Shui of your ancestral graves.
But it is also popular among the people that "one destiny, two luck, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin virtues and five readings, six seven aspects and eight respects for gods, nine friendships with nobles and ten health care, eleven selection of people and spouses, a good woman will be rich for three generations. The twelve are to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune; the thirteenth is to have no resentment when encountering hardship; the fourteenth to not be stubborn about good and evil; the fifteenth to achieve glory and glory..." Feng Shui only accounts for a small part.
