Geomantic knowledge of graves
The principle of opening the hall
In ancient times, when someone became famous, became an official or made a fortune, people often talked about the geomantic omen of this person's ancestral grave, which was called: outstanding people and outstanding people. Feng Shui believes that Tang Ming's opening up is conducive to training talents and developing its career. Therefore, we should "go up the mountain to see the Shuikou" and "go into the cave to see Tang Ming". Tang Ming means that there must be a vast and flat place in front of the tomb. Only when Tang Ming is open and full of vitality can it have a bright future. On the contrary, cemeteries should not be located in narrow and limited valleys.
Principle of relying on mountains and rivers
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, green mountains and green waters are a beautiful environment that people generally yearn for, and it is also the basic principle of a good cemetery. Reflected in the theory of geomantic omen, it means that "the owner of a mountain will decide that water dominates wealth", which means that choosing a mountain can make future generations prosper; Choosing water can make money roll in. Stone is the bone of the mountain, water is the blood of the mountain, benevolent people enjoy Leshan, and wise people enjoy water. Phoenix Mountain Cemetery is backed by Changping Long Mai, and the streams in the mountain flow from both sides of the cemetery like meridians and pour into Xiangtan Reservoir. Water is the source of life, and there is life when there is water in mountains. A mountain without water seems to have no soul, so there is a saying in Feng Shui: If there is no water in the mountain, don't look for land again. Look at the water before you look at the mountain. It can be seen that "the master of mountains and the master of wealth" is the simplest and most incisive summary of investigating the geomantic omen of cemeteries. Some feng shui theories that focus on regulating qi emphasize storing wind and gathering qi. As the saying goes, "the method of geomantic omen is to get water first, then hide the wind" (burial book) thinks that the bigger the water surface, the thicker the gas gathering and the thicker the wealth.
The principle of leaning forward and leaning back, embracing each other left and right.
I'm afraid that people have heard a lot in the cemetery. This is feng shui's summary of the terrain around the cemetery. In fact, it is surrounded by mountains and there is a spacious basin in the middle. The "hole" of Feng Shui theory is in this basin, and all the mountains and rivers are called "sand". This kind of terrain is also reflected in the word "burial" mentioned above, which is the word "Fu" (pronounced as arch) below the word, which means holding hands together and forming a hollow cave in the middle. The ancients thought it was a good burial place, so the word "burial" itself reflected the ancients' view of funeral. The backing behind the Phoenix Mountain Cemetery is conducive to resisting the cold coming from the north in winter. Facing the front of the mountain, one stands as far as the eye can see, just like many people standing in front. This situation is called "before a hundred officials stand" in Feng Shui. Between Chaoshan Mountain and the cemetery, there is also a hill, which looks like a file case, and it is called an mountain in geomantic omen. The cemetery is backed by the Juyongguan Great Wall, standing on the back of the mountain, and sandwiched between mountains on the left and right, forming a situation of a plush chair. The water in the mountain is like a jade belt wrapped around the waist. The case before the case is a paper case, and the case before the case is a hundred officials. So many people think that building a cemetery here is either rich or expensive. It is an ideal cemetery and a model of a cemetery.
Principles of buckling and winding
In the past, quadrangles and temples all had screen walls facing the gate, and modern people pay more attention to the design of the porch when decorating. Screen walls and porches are designed according to feng shui, not just for beauty. Their function is to avoid and block Sha Qi from colliding head-on. How can a cemetery stop suffocation? The principle of geomantic omen advocates "straightness is blunt" and "bending is smooth". The road should be curved and the scenery should be winding, that is, winding. The winding path leads to a secluded place not only has the practical effect of geomantic omen, but also has a unique artistic effect, such as the garden buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, which embodies this aesthetic psychology. The road leading to the Phoenix Mountain Cemetery is surrounded by mountains and waters. From the satellite photos, it looks like the Big Dipper is connected together. As the saying goes, there is no way to recover from heavy mountains and heavy waters, and there is another village, Phoenix Mountain.
Who gave directions to Zhu Yuanzhang's family feng shui in history?
According to the records of Ming History, Taizu Ji and Tianfu Guangji, Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, also known as Xingzong, whose real name was Guo Rui, and he was born in Haozhou Zhongli (now Fengyang, Anhui). /kloc-at the age of 0/7, parents and brothers died one after another due to drought and locust plague. Neighbor Liu Jizu sympathized with him and gave him a cemetery so that he could bury his relatives. Since then, "I am helpless, but Huang Renjue is a monk". Later, the world met, competing for the Central Plains, and decided Jinling to become Dabao. So they honored the IV, built the tomb of Emperor Ren Zuchun in Fengyang, and ordered the Crown Prince to visit Sizhou (now Sihong County, Jiangsu Province) to worship his ancestors. Due to the age, it is difficult to confirm the exact location of the ancestral grave. Therefore, the Crown Prince and his party had to stand on the city of Sizhou and look at the river to mourn. However, in the seventeenth year of Hongwu (A.D. 1384), on October 12th of the lunar calendar, Zhu Gui claimed to have found the residence and burial place of Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather, and later announced a geomantic story: Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather was born in Jia Zhu Village, Tongde Township, Jurong County, Jiangsu Province. After the chaos in the world, I crossed the Huaihe River with my family and settled in Sizhou. Whenever there are weddings and funerals, the locals often push him to be the master of ceremonies. One day, he lay in a pit under Yangjiadun at the back of the house to rest. Suddenly, two monks came, an old man and a young man. The old man pointed to the place where Xizu was lying and said, "If you bury this place, there will be a son of heaven." The little Taoist asked, "How can I see it?" The old man said, "Don't believe me, you can try inserting a dry branch. It will definitely grow leaves. " Then, call Zu up. Xizu pretended to be asleep after hearing their conversation. So, two Taoist priests inserted branches and left. Ten days later, Xizu went to see it early, and sure enough, dead branches sprouted and leaves were born. So he skillfully changed the bag, pulled out the raw branches and replaced them with dead branches. After a while, two Taoist priests came. When the old man saw that the dead branches were barren and Xizu was around, he became suspicious and pointed to Xizu and said, "This man must have replaced them." He turned to Xizu and said, "If you want to be fat, bury it here after you die, and your family will be the son of heaven." And walked away. In the fourth year of King Tai (A.D. 1327), Xi Zu died and was buried there. Before the fief, it became his own grave. At the end of this year, the Zhujia family moved to the wooden yard in Xuyi County, east of Lizhong. One day, Zhu Yuanzhang's mother met a stranger, dressed in Huang Guan and Zhu Yi, and gave her a grain of Baiyao. This medicine shines brilliantly. If you swallow it, you will be pregnant. In the second year, that is, the first year of the Yuan calendar (AD 1328), a son was born in September. This is Zhu Yuanzhang. At this time, it was only one year before his grandfather was buried ... Because Zhu Gui recognized the grave, Zhu Yuanzhang not only gave him money, ingots, gold, clothes, etc., but also specially sealed the tomb of his four officials to worship his ancestors and promised his descendants hereditary management.
