Location of the Royal Mausoleum Feng Shui

The Book of Changes said: "Ancient tombs were paid for their thick clothes. They were buried in the middle of fields without seals or trees." Funerals were very simple in ancient times. With the development of human society, burying the dead has gradually developed into a major event. Many important cultural relics preserved today are the remains of graves. From China to the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius strongly advocated "filial piety", and the trend of reburial became more and more popular, which lasted for several generations, and gradually formed a set of grand and complicated ritual and funeral systems, as well as various exquisite ones. Therefore, the tomb is considered as the first place to bury ancestors and parents, which can be used as a filial piety in the past and a reference for the future. Therefore, from the emperor to the people, they paid special attention to the placement of graves. As a Feng Shui master who chooses the burial place for people, the Yin House is the first. Geomantic omen theory holds that the geomantic omen of ancestral graves will affect the fate of future generations; The geomantic omen of a country's king's mausoleum will affect the fate of the whole country. The imperial tombs of past dynasties attached great importance to the choice of mausoleum sites in order to make the imperial power permanent. Imperial tombs are generally located near the capital. For example, the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties all took Chang 'an as their capital, so most of the imperial tombs of these five dynasties were concentrated near Chang 'an. The Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty all took Beijing as their capital, so the tombs of these three generations were all located near Beijing.
