Song Gaozong sent courtiers who knew Feng Shui to spread the land. Finally, he met a large piece of flat land in the north of Baoshan, a town in the southeast of Shaoxing city, which is what the locals call Shan 'ao. Courtiers say this is a rare treasure trove of geomantic omen. But in the eyes of ordinary people, this is a poor ravine.
However, where is the feng shui of this mountain? "Shaoxing Fu Zhi" records Huayang's performance after Song Ningzong's death: "To the west of Taining Temple, the mountains are majestic, with five peaks in front, straight to the top of God, majestic green hills, purple and purple wings, beautiful white deer plains, arched mountains, respected meteorology, a terminal flag, surrounded by trees and Rong Sheng."
Shaoxing, located in the southeast of Hangzhou, was in a favorable position of "national tone" according to the superstition of the royal family in the Song Dynasty at that time. Later, all graves will face north. Some people say that this is to look at the ancestral graves in the north and not forget to recover the rivers and mountains. In fact, it coincides with the feng shui positioning of the "five-tone surname".
There is also a saying that there is a mountain called Qinglong Mountain in the southeast of Huangling District in Gongyi, Henan Province, and there was once a Qinglong Mountain in the southeast of Gaobu Town. With so many coincidences, Lingqu is naturally here. Since then, all members of the royal family in the Southern Song Dynasty, including the emperor, have been buried here after their death.
