Besides, Liu Bowen became Zhu Yuanzhang's counselor at the age of fifty. In less than ten years, he helped Zhu Yuanzhang create the Ming Dynasty and participated in the formulation of the Daming Law, which made immortal contributions to the establishment and stability of the Ming Dynasty. Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen, both rare wizards, are not only resourceful, but also highly accomplished in geomantic omen.
In Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, there are two mysterious ancient villages, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen, which were built according to the principle of geomantic omen. Surprisingly, if there is no local villagers to lead the way, once outsiders walk in, it is like walking into a maze, and even if there is navigation, it is difficult to go out. It is said that during the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army attacked these two villages, but in the end they both fled.
Let me first introduce Zhuge's Bagua Village, located in the west of Lanxi, Jinhua City, which has preserved a large number of ancient buildings invited in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Known as "unparalleled ancient cultural village". Although Zhuge Liang didn't build Bagua Village himself, it was built by Zhuge Da Shi, the 27th grandson of Zhuge Liang (the name is very domineering) according to the eight-array map left by Zhuge Liang.
According to records, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, wars broke out in many places. In order to ensure the safety of his family, Master Zhuge studied the eight-array map of his ancestor Zhuge Liang, bought a treasure house of geomantic omen from others, and then built this village, which has a history of nearly 800 years. Once a thief came to Bagua village, ran all night without running out of the village, and finally gave in easily.
Let's take a look at Yuyuan Village, which is located in the southwest of Wuyi County, Jinhua City. Because it was built according to Tai Chi astrology, it is also called Yuyuan Tai Chi Astrology Village. According to experts' research, Yuyuan Village was built by Liu Bowen. Many people don't understand that this is not Liu Bowen's hometown. Why did he build such a village here?
It turns out that when Liu Bowen went home to visit relatives, he passed by Yuyuan Village and remembered that a former classmate lived here, so he came after him. In the process of chatting, Liu Bowen heard that the village was frequently hit by droughts and floods, so he decided to transform it. So, in the next few days, Liu Bowen asked the villagers to dig seven ponds, and left a drawing when he left, telling the villagers to build a house according to the drawing in the future.
Since Liu Bowen transformed Yuyuan Village, there has not been a disaster for more than 600 years, and more than 300 scholars and juren have been produced. In memory of Liu Bowen, the villagers built a thatched cottage at the entrance of the village and named it "Liu Bowen thatched cottage". In recent years, Yuyuan Village is well-known and attracts many foreign experts and scholars.
Now that technology is so advanced, many people don't believe in the so-called geomantic omen, and even think it is superstition. But I think that since Feng Shui has existed for thousands of years, it can't be denied blindly. The wisdom of the ancients is no worse than that of modern people. what do you think?
