In ancient times, rich people would find a Feng Shui master to help their dead relatives choose a piece of Feng Shui treasure as their final destination. However, if the family is not good, it is not necessarily the case. Either you will look at Feng Shui or you will just find a piece of land to bury. The ancients believed that as long as the feng shui in the burial place was good, they could protect their descendants and ensure the wealth of their homes. No matter in ancient or modern times, many people deliberately destroy each other's ancestral graves to vent their anger and get back at each other. But whether this kind of behavior has any effect is unknown. After all, it's just superstition
Zeng Guofan is a man who knows feng shui very well. It is said that in his later years, someone showed him a treasure trove of geomantic omen and took Zeng Guofan to see it (the ancients were not very jealous of choosing their own cemetery before their death). As soon as Zeng Guofan saw the place, he knew it was a treasure trove of geomantic omen, which showed that it was an excellent place no matter from its elements or the trend of the mountain. However, Zeng Guofan rejected this place. He said to the man slowly, "I have experienced the ups and downs of officialdom and know how difficult it is." As long as my descendants can live an ordinary life, I will be satisfied! "
Perhaps Zeng Guofan saw through officialdom and life. Born as a man, no one can live well.
