The reason is that the official history is not recorded, unofficial history can't find the source, and the romance is not described. It is not clear which dynasty this legend began. When I was a child, I listened to the old man telling stories, and there were similar legends. I don't remember if it's about Zhuge Liang, but it's even more amazing.
The main idea is that the owner of this house is familiar with geography, so the family said that they should choose a treasure trove for themselves for future use. The man disagreed, but he couldn't stand the repeated demands of his family and said, "It's no use choosing. You won't listen to the arrangement. " The family has repeatedly promised that they will listen to their wishes.
As a last resort, the owner of this house said: after his death, don't build a grave, just lift the coffin to the south, don't bury it after the rope is broken, just leave it.
After the man died, his family obeyed his will. After the funeral, the coffin bearer walked south for less than three miles when the rope suddenly broke. This place is a wilderness, where nothing grows. The coffin bearer thinks that the master is a good man on weekdays, and he can't explain why he is still in this place. After several people discussed it, they wanted to dig a hole and bury the coffin.
Just after digging a layer of soil, two phoenixes flew out of the ground. The pallbearer thought it was amazing, but thought that since it had happened, let it be. Keep digging and dig out two more phoenix eggs. At this point, they realized that they were afraid to dig any more, so they left the coffin there.
The next day, these people were not at ease, so they came to have a look. It turned out that the place where the coffin was placed had naturally formed a big grave, and everyone was amazed. Only then did they understand the reason, but it was too late.
It is said that if feng shui is not broken, the two phoenixes can bless the current generation and become senior officials, and future generations will continue to be senior officials; If we don't dig out those two phoenix eggs, future generations will also produce senior officials, but it's a little late.
Is this the story of Zhuge Liang that has been forgotten? However, whether in the past or now, we all attach great importance to the way of burial.
Zhuge Liang is proficient in Yin and Yang gossip and geomantic geography, and his own burial is by no means hasty. It is not necessary to have a thick burial, but the geographical location of burial must be very particular.
According to Zhuge Liang Biography, Liang ordered to be buried in Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong. Because the mountain was a grave, it was enough to accommodate coffins, so he took it in time without utensils.
Zhuge Liang ordered him to be buried in Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong. Because the mountain is a grave, there is only room for a coffin. In view of this arrangement, I am afraid that the specific location has been determined, and it is impossible for civil servants to find a place to bury it casually.
According to the romance, Yang Yi and Jiang Wei withdrew their troops and escorted Zhuge Liang's coffin back to Chengdu. Liu Chan was greeted twenty miles out of the city, and the imperial edict stopped the coffin at the Prime Minister's office, and his son Zhuge Zhan Pima Dai Xiao. Later, Liu Chan followed Zhuge Liang's wishes and was buried in Dingjun Mountain.
I'm afraid that's unlikely. From Hanzhong to Chengdu, tossing back and forth is also a disrespect for the deceased. Forget it. In a word, Mr. Luo Guanzhong didn't mention the phrase "the coffin will be carried south, and it will be buried when the rope is broken".
Zhuge Liang is the embodiment of wisdom. He has been using tricks all his life. This legend is just to show that Zhuge Liang's last trick is not to let future generations know where his coffin is buried, but this is unreasonable.
Zhuge Liang may have figured it out that the coffin bearer will be killed and no one knows where he is buried.
But the person who arranges the funeral will think that the person who carries the coffin will remember the burial place. Even the people who arrange the funeral know that the coffin bearer will cut the rope and kill him unnoticed.
However, it is unreasonable for a figure like Zhuge Liang to be buried in such a hurry without a funeral. However, everything is a legend, and no one knows the truth and no one dares to say it.
However, if a figure like Zhuge Liang is buried in the usual way, it is not in line with people's wishes. It is better to leave some mysteries for future generations to guess. If nothing else, at least let future generations remember that this is not Zhuge Liang's painstaking efforts, nor is it the initiator of this legend.
