Yuan Shikai has been very superstitious since he was a child. He often looks at fortune tellers, asks fortune tellers, and calculates Feng Shui when doing things. Yuan Shikai superstitiously believed that the reason why he was excluded might be due to a problem with the feng shui of his ancestral tomb, so he asked a feng shui master to consult with his ancestral tomb. After looking at it, the Feng Shui master said that the Yuan family's ancestral tomb is located at the knot point of a real dragon, which is extremely valuable. However, because a wall was built around the dragon's cave, the dragon's body was restricted, its Qi channels were blocked, it was unable to flourish, and suffered setbacks.
The top priority is to tear down the walls of the ancestral tombs. Yuan Shikai believed this, so he sent people to tear down the walls of his ancestral tombs to make the ancestral tombs look more square and powerful, and to make the dragon veins more prosperous. There is a folk saying: Yuan Shikai dug into the grave of his ancestors and found that the grave was not straight. That's what I'm talking about.
